So George Lucas decides to stand back again, and picks directors for the three films. And each film has a different purpose and emotional feeling, evolving towards great darkness of course.
Looking back...
Episode I - Steven Spielberg or Alfonso Cuaron
Episode II - Martin Scorsese or Martin Campbell
Episode III - George Miller or Francis Ford Coppola
I mention Spielberg, Scorsese and Coppola because they are George Lucas' three oldest and closest friends in the film industry. They are the big four to come out of the last golden age of the early 1970's. Originally, I didn't think of Scorsese but thought it would be rude to leave him off the list - if he was game for big FX and action ( Gangs Of New York & The Aviator shows he can do epic-sized films.) I'd give him Ep. II, because Coppola would be perfect for Ep. III - did anyone else think of The Godfather, with all the climatic treachery and death in that film?
Of course if it's not those three, the other trio would be my alternates.
Sidious: Jesus Ani, your a funny guy.
Anakin: What? I'm a funny guy? How am I funny?
Sidious: [laughter]
Anakin: Tell me you prick, how am I funny? I'm funny? I amuse you?
Sidious: Yeah, y'know, your a...eh
Anakin: How am I funny? Tell me that? How am I funny? I'm a clown? I amuse you?
Sidious: I don't know Ani, it was just something you, err, I don't know, err, the way you killed those sandpeople..
Anakin: You think I'm funny? You mean, the way I talk? Funny how? What's funny about it?
Instant classic that.
Absolutely. How about this one, the Mustafar dialogue redone:
OB1: You've done that yourself!
Anakin: Back- Back up, back up a ****in' minute here. One minute. I did that? When the **** did I do that myself? Get this through your head, you...
OB1: You never...
Anakin: Get this through your head you Scottish mother****er, you. You only exist out here because of me. That's the only reason. Without me, you, personally, every ****in' Sith skell around'll take a piece of your ****in' Scot ass. Then where you gonna go? You're ****in' warned. Don't ever go over my ****in' head again. You mother****er, you.
I'm what counts out here. Not your ****in' Jedi Council or your ****in' Clone Wars. And what the **** are you doin' here on Mustafar anyhow?
OB1: What are you...
Anakin: You know I get calls from the Council every ****in' day? They think that you went batsh!t.
OB1: I'm only here because I gotta stop you. You understand that. You know that. Come on.
Anakin: Your ****in' ass. You were just to scared to take on Palpatine. You wanted to come here.
OB1: Yeah, I did want to come here. That way I can fight back. I'm known. They know they can't **** around with me like they could if I was an unknown. That's right.
Anakin: You're makin' a big ****in' spectacle of yourself.
Or Anakin to Cliegg after retrieving his mother:
A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package on your swoop bike. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows what sand people come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all ****in' night.
Okay here's another one.
OB1: Did you marry Padme?
Anakin: What?
OB1: Did you marry Padme?
Anakin: How do you ask me that? I'm your brother and you ask me that? Where do you get you're balls big enough to ask me that?
OB1: I'm gonna ask you again, did you or didn't you? Just answer the question.
Anakin: I'm not gonna answer that. It's stupid. It's a sick question and you're a sick f*ck and I'm not that sick that I'm gonna answer it. I'm leaving, If Palpatine calls tell him I went home. You know what you should do? Do a little more f*cking and a little less teaching, so you don't have to blame it all on me and everybody else, you understand me? You're cracking up! Ya' f*cking screw ball ya'!
