Coolest aspect of Ep I

Episode I had a lot of cool new stuff i.e. double bladed lightsaber, pod races, etc.. What do you think was coolest about Ep I?, I personally think the destroyer droids were awesome, the way they roll, fold outwards, and their shields, WOW! That really rocked my tofu!!

What impressed me the most was the way Qui Gon and Obi Wan handled their sabers. The swordplay was far superior to the OT. I know some people think the fight scenes weren't that great, but just MHO.

The mood of the podrace was great, but for me the best aspects were those continued over from the OT. I got mega back-tingles when I heard the hum of the sabres booming out over the speakers.

Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon Qui-Gon Qui-Gon.

Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon Qui-GonQui-Gon. Qui-Gon Qui-Gon Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon.Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon Qui-Gon Qui-Gon.Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon Qui-Gon Qui-Gon.

I thought it was Qui-Gon, see? Laim neeson was spot on.

Damn, you didn't spell it wrong once! Yes, he was great in the role. His character always sticks in my mind as a bit lacking in wisdom, though. Just slightly too clumsy. I keep getting flashes of him being smacked in the gob and run through.

He was somewhat of a maverick I feel.

For me it had to be Anakin Skywalker. Everybody slated poor old Jake Lloyd for his acting but he was SPOT ON.

He was supposed to play and excited and enthused 9 year old, who enjoyed his life, no matter how bad, but who also had dreams and aspiriations.

Jake Lloyd did just that. People ran down his "Yipppeeee!", but for the type of 9 year old he was that was perfect. Everything about the 9 year old Anakin was supposed to portray an innocent. I think it will become more apparent as we see the Anakin of 10 years later. We need to see a stark change and I think we will, then maybe people will understand the Anakin of 9 years old a little better.

I agree with RC & Ushgarak.

Jake Lloyd gave the exact performance he was supposed to. A nine year old kid.

What did people expect?

There's nothing like indepth analysis and that was nothing like indepth analysis...

I wonder if the people who have made the disparaging comments above actually have kids of there own?

Exactly Finti, Lucas should of gotten Hailey Joe Osment.... I dont know if they have 'Smuckers Jam' in Europe, but in America JL is an actor in most of there commericals, and in the commericals, he plays a sweet innocent little kid, the difference is that in the commericals, he actually acts we'll, not like in Episode I where he stinks! (A little more indepth analysis for RC) wink

HJO would have been a terrible idea as far as I am concerned; he plays a whole different sort of kid in his movies.

I think JL got across the idea of what a young Anakin would have been like VERY well.

THE BATTLE BETWEEN MAUL AND OBI-WAN WAS THE BEST PART FOR ME...MADE ME THINK IF OBI WAS "RELEASING HIS ANGER, ONLY HIS HATRED COULD DESTROY MAUL"

I think he may have had some anger flowing, but I also think that when Qui Gon was meditating before Maul was released, he transfered some of his power to Obi, just like Obi did to Luke in ANH.

"If you strike me down I shall become more powerfull than you can possably imagine."

While I pretty much agree, I know most fans take great issue with at least two of those choices. Actually, I must say I didn't think much of the Underwater Chase (may be better in the DVD)

What are some specific things that Texas disliked about JL? I thought he did a fine job. I liked the underwater chase. I found it to be rather humerous.
