But this is the I, II, and III section so technically that answer doesn't count.

My choice is Kashyyyk. Wookiees are bad ass!

and you should have more choices like Battle of Naboo and Geonosis

Why is Geonosis not on there?

Your missing some battles.

The Fight On Mustafar is easily the best out of those!

geonosis. but on your list i think kashyyyk because the effects are mind blowing.

Out of that lsit, I would probably say the Corouscant battle just because of the large scale of it and the boldness of the Separatist attacking the Republic stronghold.

I guess mustafar then, I hardly remember battles on other planets.

Hmmm Geonosis I think....

I really like the fight on Geonosis.

w00t! Clonegasm.

Who's gonna wipe the floor now?

horse

Whoever is...do you mind picking that up too

Thats the nice thing about clones. They pick up themselves.

Unless they die.

Yeah, well f*ck the seps.

No, thank you. Too metally for me.

Ok. Then just blast em.

What? The thread? Good idea...

I always knew you'd come around.

Geonosis is a favorite of mine, but I'm not sure that it tops the epic between Anakin and Kenobi on Mustafar. It's close.

Mustafar wasn't even a battle...only a duel.

Battles to me impy the movement of large sections of the armed services. (or in the seps' case, scrapmetal)

Geonosis, followed closely by Naboo.

ROTS didn't really have any batttle scenes (except for the space battle), but rather battle shots, which only lasted 1 or 2 min. long.

If I'm picking duels it goes to Mustafar, however with DOF right behind.

Lucas really could have redeemed some of his flaws in the PT by making ROTS a little (ie A LOT) more Clone Wars heavy.

I find it ironic that despite the animocity towards the PT, Geonosis appears to be the heavy favorite.

Indeed..., even more ironic considering the anomisty towards AOTC in particular. But as a stand-alone battle it's pretty good. Storywise, it's not so good.

Now what?

Maybe it is good and you just haven't accepted it yet.

AOTC good?????

AOTC no worse than the others?????

Oh yes it is...

No its not. Its definately not worse than ROTJ...at least AOTC went somewhere with the plot...though both had cool endings.

It's very much worse. The AOTC plot went absolutely nowwhere... It was a detective story of more than two hours that needa ll that time to say one thing: Anakin and Padme fall in love. And the love scenes are absolutely horrid... go figure that.

ok, love scenes suck...but they always have. Lucas' idea of a love scene is an incestuous whistle.

The AOTC plot did go where. Think about how friggin long it took the Jedi to figure out what was going on in the film, let alone in the universe.

I didn't een know what was going on. I still don't. Really apart from the clones origin (which in the end is nothing else than an extreme elobarate piece of boring exposition and quite obsolete (as if it is SOOOO important where the clones came from... )) the only thing that is a plot point is Anakin and Padme falling in love... And the death of Anakin's mother a little bit. And that is IT!!!
Now if them falling in loe is the only crucial plot point, and the love scenes suck, one can only conclude that this film is flawed to the core.
And yes, you have your clones, fine.... enjoy them. That's why some of us believe that Geonosis might be the best as a BATTLE PER SE.... not as part of a great movie.

Why is a slug on an asteroid important?

Because it gave them a moment of peace and that gave us one of the finest romantic scenes of the saga. With a twist. Perfect scene.

Worst rationalization ever.

Kamino happend so Kenobi could be introduced to Jango, and it was quiet, and we solved a mysteryYUYYYYYY!!!. (same logic)

But it LED nowhere, only to more exposition.

And the slug scene is part of a sequence that creates a whole web that is closing in on the Falcon: they are nowehere safe. It's a very good scene, well acted, good romance in only a few lines, humor, and a good supsrising twist with a from-the-fire-into-the-frying-pan effect... Dramatically flawless, I can't imagine anything against that scene.

Why are you laughing? I was serious. Come up with one solid argument against that scene?

It was a pointless waste of time. There was no reason to land, they were clearly not under threat. All that you said could have easily been done as they were flying off into space.

There WAS a reason!! They had no place to go and needed time to see if they could fix the hyperdrive. Going into the asteroid field was hopefully going to shake off the Empire... they failed. So all they could do was stop, try to fix the hyperdrive and then leave the asteroid field to make the jump. All very good and clever writing there. Plus, as I said, it gave a good moment for the fairly important romance.

Just as a side note:
Would Mustafar be considered a battle or a duel?

i never argued the asteroid field, I argued LANDING...and the LANDING in a worm.

Nothing about that sequence was clever.

Duel

they LANDED to try and fix teh hyperdrive..... You said there was no reason for it. I just explained there was a very good reason for it. If you can'tshake the Empire because your hyperdrive isn't working, you have to find a place where you can fix it.... Pure and simple logic. It led to the immortal line: "You wanted to be there if I made a mistake, this could be it, princess."
I think you just missed part of that movie...

Then why is it a choice in this poll? I thought this was favorite battles.

Dunno... lame poll.

They've fixed it in flight before!

Because the guys a newb.

Yeah, with asteroids slamming on them, shields being destroyed, fighters all around... a pause will be nice. Sorry pal, ESb is virtually perfect, every scene has a purpose and leads to the next phase. By far better than any clone film.

They had no problem flying OUT of the field later.

The funny thing is that 5 people voted for it

Yes. Its funny that people have voted in here at all.

So? The problem was not getting OUT of the field, the problem was getting rid of the Empire. Vader ordered them to move out of the asteroid field. Where does it say they didn't know how to leave the asteroid field? If they did with an unrepaired hyperdrive, they'd be sitting ducks for the Empire.
So all it was, was a safe stop to get that hyperdive fixed. I don't see the problem at all.

Unlike AOTC that has many scenes that raise questions (like Syfo-Dyas) and never get resolved. ESB rules.

Argh...this agument makes no sense anymore.

Syfo-Dyas sucked. It should have been Qui-Gon.

Whatever... but AOTC sucked just like Syfo-Dyas did.

HEY!

Baseless accusations.
