Ahhhh! My thread is deteriorating into Star Wars debating jibberish!

...some good points though I must admit.

BUT...

GOOD STAR WARS: Big climactic battles!

BAD STAR WARS: Big climactic battles that end with a little kid accidentally flying up to the bad guys' starship. blowing it up and saving the day...(and you wonder why people think the new Star Wars movies suck).

It was Inevetitable dude. Sorry, but once someone in here makes the statement that the "the OT: Good, The PT: Bad" it just snow balls after that.

I saw it coming

That's cool. I'm not actually pissed.

anyways...

GOOD STARWARS!: Wolfman and Hyena-Man in Cantina!

BAD STAR WARS!: No Wolfman and Hyena-Man in Cantina!

Nuh-uh. That would be:

GOOD STAR WARS: Big climactic battles that end with a little kid accidentally flying up to the bad guys' starship. blowing it up and saving the day.

I love that scene! Plus the line "Now this is podracing!"

That's just fulfilling the prophesy, "When I first met Anakin, he was already a great pilot."

^I bet you also liked when Obi-wan said "you were right about one thing master, the negotiations were short

or when Threepio said 'i'm scrap...this is a niiiiiiteemare....i wanna go home"
and when he said "oh this is such a drag."

😉

It's Star Wars. If you were expecting Hamlet, go to another space opera.

that opera Palpatine and Anakin were watching was some deep trippy sh*tttttt, i BET IT WAS HAMLET.

Good Star Wars: Palpatine cackling
Bad Star Wars: Palpatine talking to Anakin (as he proclaims him Vader) like he was badly squeezing one out

Good SW: Any of Palpatine's lines with the below exception.

Bad SW: Palpatine cackling like a fool, when only twenty cinemetographic minutes earlier he was a mysterious, wisened old man with a hidden agenda we couldn't quite piece together.

You are genius...props. But I must protest. Hamlet was a play.

Oh, wtf. Props to all for the witty Palps comments.

and Bad Star Wars: Palps going through Sith puberty. (check out that voice.. ) pirate

Oh yeah that's right...it was the Force...good one George.

I think those were probably the worst scenes in TPM, Anakin blowing up the Trade Federation ship and the podrace.

Most pointless, anyway.

Thought the podrace was pretty cool...didn't really get the shots I wanted though.

And the line "Now this is podracing!" was during the space battle.

That whole climax of TPM is fantastic. All the theaters of battle coming to a climax with impending doom in all, then victory. What a wild ride. I couldn't believe it when Anakin blew up the ship, what a wonderful thing. It was great joy.

It's part of the joy of Star Wars, seen in all 6 movies. That young people, when placed in positions of trial, can do heroic deeds. It's part of the Hero's Journey.

When you watch TPM, imagine you are 9 years old; you'd believe that you too could do something like Anakin did.

It WAS the Force . . . or would that be Chance, or even Mere Luck?

Yeah I know it was the Force...that doesn't make it good writing...it's a ridiculous cop-out!

And as for your question from the other forum...half of these films are bad films...guess which ones!

"let's try spinning, that's a good trick!!! woaaa-hhhh--oooahhh....."

or just happening to blow up the internal generators that were keeping the droid army operational...

hardly the Force at work if you ask me

Luke shooting those fireballs into the Death Star without the help of the guidance system.....that's Force at work.

If they had shown Anakin doing the EXACT same things minus all his quips so all we saw were his actions, I'd be more pressed to believe it was cuz he was the Chosen One...

but hey, whatever makes you like Star Wars 🙂

Much agreed

Of course Binks was the master of it, but I had to scale down the competition. Jeez I'm glad Jake Llyod hasn't received any other work.

I hereby declare "Now this is podracing" to be the finest line uttered in the entire series.

What saves that line for me is the force theme/duel of the fates combo playing in the backgorund.

It is the worst line, jsut doesn't have the worst context...which makes it bearable.
