What was so bad about Anikans march into the temple

I've read around that many have thought that Anikan's march into the temple with the clones was lame.... I'm not sure why. Can anyone tell me what the deal is with that... it was a cool scene.... other things, (like the dialog or wooden acting in certain parts) I can understand that people would be saying lame things about.... but why specifically rag about this scene?

It had shitty music.

I think the music is fine though..not great..they should compose a new music for that particular scene. But it didn't ruin the movie though..still freakin cool 🙂

It almost ruined the scene though. It's the exact same piece of music that plays on Kashyyyk... and even worse, it's a tracked piece from Episode II!

I thought that scene was good, with the overhead shot and the flowing robes...

i think the lack of action was what disappointed everyone. when we all saw it in the trailer we were like "that is the intro to one of the coolest scenes in star wars!!!!" but in the end it turned out that WAS the scene.
then cut to anakin preparing to slaughter toddlers. who the f*** was anticipating that? we all knew that scene was going to happen....but thats it. "darth vader helped the empire hunt down and destroy the jedi" oh those lines had me soooooooooo excited for so long since i first heard that GL would do the PT....and in the end, it was a marching scene and anakin igniting his lightsaber before scared babies. could it have been any more anticlimactic?

i think that is the reason for dissapointment. the march scene was fine, the lack of anything else kinda sucked.

wait wait...you forgot the hologram bit of anakin killing like....two jedi......😐......that was lame.......it was over in like 3.342865 secs......couldnt even see what the hell happened......

I agree with you on that one. And they didn't look like younglings either, from the little bit I could see.

I also think Lucas was scared to cross into basically killing babies on screen. He is probably still hoping for a young audience. I agree there should have been more to it than that, but I'm not sure what..

the point is that anakin was supposed to slaughter far more than younglings.
the disappointment is not in the lack of slaughtered children (what kind of sicko would want that?) but rather the complete lack of anakin slaughtering jedi knights. thats what i wanted to see, i think thats what everyone wanted to see....and we didnt see it.

They should of puttin the music they played in the trailer it would of been more cooler.

shouldve had younglings on the hologram, and normal knights getting sliced in normal mode thingy......but....we can only have a biatch about it....

cant agree with you more, i watched and loved that Teaser trailer when Obiwan said those lines then it showed Anakin Marching, it felt so exciting waiting for the Movie to come out and waiting for the Scenes of Anakin in the Temple killing the JEdi.

OK, I understand now. I have only ever seen the movies (and have not seen the Trilogy in a while), so I am not as familiar with the storyline as many others here.

that's because they weren't younglings. They were Cin drallig and his paddawan.

the music was cool

the music sucked! it was the arena march from attack of the clones, and dont get me wrong, i absalootley love the music, its where it is placed that bothers me, williams should have put a frightening representation of the imperial march with a unhappy version of the force theme, the imperial march is building up and the strings play the force theme, and as that happens the imperial march should just go louder! and LOUDER! as anakin gets closer to the doors of the temple with the troops.... i swear i wish i could be music editor on star wars lol

i agree, the music felt too generic. this was the beginning of the pivotal point of the entire saga. it demanded more powerful music

The imperial march theme was a given for some reason they didnt put it in, WIERD the music that was there isnt bad, but for the first act of Darth Vader the march theme is a no brainer

THANKYOU! I BOW TO YOU EHMASTERJEDI!

someone who agrees! it is the first act of vader! i mean come on, darth vader with stormtroopers! Imperial stormtroopers!, and they play the theme which i assosiate with the seperatists! duh! lol

Imperial March in that scene totally makes sense.... especially after you hear a glimpse of it when Anakin confesses what he did to the sand people to Padme.
