ROS was rushed like hell! The first hour flowed great but after that its jumping from scene to scene so fast your watching one scene and trying to catch up on what just happened in the last scene! TPM and AOTC did not seem to have this problem. This is just what I think but I think letting Ben Burt edit the films was George Lucas's biggest mistake!
I feel that Ep.3 was missing sumthing. bcuz.. it just seems weird how he turned to the Dark Side. I thought like sum TRAGIC MOMENT would be his turning point.
But instead, it was Anakin who caused every tragedy in the movie.
You my dear sir are a fool who talks about stuff he doesn't know anything about. Something wich happens far too often around here.
Screenwriter Leigh Brackett wrote the first draft of ESB, when she passed away George Lucas engaged Lawrence Kasdan to finish the screenplay.. wich happened.
The story came from George Lucas though, but all the lovely intricacies and plot points and twists came from Brackett and Kasdan. They gave it the flavour we've come to love and so did Kershner's direction. If you check out films like The Eyes of Laura Mars, or Who's Killing the Great Chefs of Europe, you can only love this man (and forgive him his episode of Robocop. )
A few more things I liked about AOTC: the feeling of anticipation of ep III at the surprise marriage at the end; seeing the clone troopers; Shmi's death scene, so horribly tragic; Anakin's slaugter of the sand people; him telling Padme about it, (still gives me chills); actually seeing that Anakin & Padme were in the Lars homestead where Luke grew up; re-uniting of the droids. As well as the aforementioned yoda/dooku battles and the start of the clone wars. I could go on and on about how muck I liked Attack of the Clones.
When it came out, I liked it better than TPM. But with ROTS I can't see the point of AOTC. That is my main dislike... it's not really about something. ESB demonstrates how much romance a movie can have with so few scenes, so we don't even need AOTC for that. It's redunancy is what bothers me most... and OB1's hairpiece...
the CW's was there because they made up AOTC as they went along and ran out of ideas half way through.
NO PLOT WHATSOEVER.
I mean come on.
Anyway, that's why I started this thread.
