Return Of the Jedi

Started by Darth Martin4 pages

Great movie, I would just have made the duel alot longer and changed th ewoks to wookies.

Personally I think the Ewoks are great. Its just the fact that they can overcome a legion of Stormtroopers (the Emperors best no less) which angers me.

Or perhaps that's why they're so cool.

That second Death Star... that's where Lucas ran out of imagination and started repetition as an art form. All through the PT he did that...

In his defence, it would've been hard to trump the first DS in terms of coolness.

It must have been a sh*t of a job for Lucas in terms of finding an appropriate commander for the DS who could surpass the sheer awesomeness of Tarkin. I guess thats why he decided to pull out the big guns and put the Emperor on board.

Tarkin was the second best villain of the movies (PT and OT), and top five material for the whole of the EU.

Second to Count Dooku. 😐

But in saying that Peter Cushing did do a fabulous job. The sheer arrogance and malice that was displayed from Tarkin in such short screen time was superb. I doubt even the great Christopher Lee could have done a better job as Tarkin, as Mr Lee himself was offered the part.

Lee and Cushing were same school....

old school?

Peter kicked ass. Tarkin was a better villain than Dooku. But, Christopher Lee kicks just as much ass.

I know. The words "Christopher Lee" and "ass" probably turn you on. 😛

😗 😛

Hm.

😖hifty:

Not that funny...

Charming to the last...

Darth Martin's Star Wars Movie Villain List

1. Darth Vader
2. Darth Sidious
3. Darth Tyranus/Grand Moff Tarkin

Tarkin was more evil. Tyranus was plain cooler.

Frankly, Sidious was the evilest.

Vader was the most badassest.

Tarkin was the coldest.

Dooku was the charmingest.

I dont agree with the list but I agree wth the reasoning. Dooku wasnt 'evil' as such. He was a political idealist who wanted a stable and secure Government, and went about it the wrong way.

Now that I think about it, they were alike in alot of respects. They both had strict 'Human-Only' beleifs. They were both at the helm of their inhumane war machines, the Death Star and CIS respectively. They each held their personal agenda behind a stunning display of charasmatic and deadly prowess. They were each killed by a Skywalker due to their extreme arrogance. Does anyone here know if GL intended the two characters to mirror each other in their respective trilogies. Because Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were very close friends and they are each in a league of their own when it comes to acting ability.

EDIT: 'Charmingest' - my new favourite word lol.
