Episode III too focused on Anakin's story

True, but in the OT the moments for cutting were much more natural. In TPM for instance (apart from having FOUR battles simultaneously) it seemd quite abritrary.

Cutting in the most epic battle of all time: OB vs. Anakin, that should be done with great care... And one can argue how well that was done.

Not only a stupid line, it was a stupid question too. If there can be only two, and one dies, the one that remains IS the master. Lucas didn't think that line through very much. Or the Jedi are just plain dumb and deserved to be wiped out.

Apart from that, it doesn't matter. The one that remains is the dangerous one because he's the master of the next Sith.

ya that's true. Aniwae windu did mention in AoTC that the jedi's "ability to use the Force have diminished", having not seen the creation of the clone army. I think thats why they cant even make an intelligent guess on whether maul was the apprentice or master.

Yeah, why would Yoda consider a sith master going on a mission to kill the queen or jumping into action trying to kill two jedi, while the apprentice stays at home making dinner.
The apprentice would at least assist if the master would expose himself and do something rash and stupid.

Have you ever had Sith cooking....its amazing...and nothing hits the spot like fresh nerf off the grill after a long day of meaningless slaughter and endless babbling

Well, I do with they'd have shown Threepio saving Padme from the falling lava on the Mustafar landing platform. As I've written before it would have been cool to see Threepio have a heroic moment. But hey, how long do you want the movie to be?

How can it be the biggest battle of all time, when both participants live to fight another day? It was your expectations of the battle that killed it for you. Perhaps you let the hype for the movie build up such a huge house of cards that finally no film could satisfy you.

How is it possible not to have such high expectations of it when Lucas and co. themselves were heralding it as the greatest fight scene of all time. I was very sceptical about that comment, but my opinion of it after leaving the cinema was sheer indifference.

HEhehehe.... Let's face it, it WAS supposed to be the most epic battle of the whole saga. It was nicely done, but I still prefer the not-so-well choreaographed fights in the OT, simply because they're dripping with drama. The PT ones feel indifferent indeed.

Yes it was...it's still good, if you look at everything idividually it really should be an amazing scene, but for some reason you just sit there, not really caring at all, not particularly drawn into the story.

This may because we already know the outcome of course, which possibly marred most of the PT.

Yes, that's why people are so hard on the PT, they already know how it turns out!

Its definately a major factor.

I dunno... I have seen the OT films dozens of times... and it still gets me... I would say that I'd know the outcome by now..

When you start thinking to yourself *oh, I love this part* just before it happens, you've seen it enough.

I know them by heart... the OT that is...

No, but the OT has that wonderful replay factor, a sense of adventure that you just do not get in the PT. If you watch the PT on a regular basis you don't do it for that adventure, you just skim through until you find another CGI fightscene.

😂

Not ture. For ROTS thats easy to do. I think TPM and AOTC have good replay value as well.

That's me! 😄

TPM's only good scene was Maul's fight, AOTC's was the Arena Fight, and ROTS's Battles/Lightsaber fights

That makes ROTS more watchable because the fights take longer. hehehehe

Perhaps, but it makes the rest of that movie 1000% less bearable.
