It's cheesy, it's embarassing, it's humiliating for Vader's character, and it was a mistake.

I've got to disagree with you about the "Nooo" too! Put yourself in Vaders new shoes: You've just found out you've killed your own wife in your anger. (Which is another Sidious lie, but that's not the point here.) The whole reason for turning to the dark side was to save her, thus he killed his whole reason for being. And he's probably thought he killed his unborn child too.

I did not feel it was cheesy or embarassing. I felt heartbroken watching it. That whole scene made me cry, it did, and I've no shame in saying it. Hearing Vader's voice ask about Padme was absolutely chilling. His "Nooo" just broke my heart. "Look what you've done" I kept saying to myself. Look at his face right before it's covered by the mask, it's a face filled with fear.

Vader was never the great Satan, he's Satan's errand boy. His whole life's a tragedy. He did not become a Jedi master nor a Sith master. No wonder he became obsessed with finding Luke, so he could finally become a leader. But Luke made good choices, while Anakin made bad ones.

However, the OT had such good storytelling in it that I cared about the characters - I became involved with them. I actually became attached to people like Leia, Solo, and Luke because I could identify with them. None of the PT movies share that quality, so I couldn't really feel as much a part of them. So, just because ANH was the most meaningful to me, I liked it the best, followed by ESB and ROTJ (it's a close call for me, because I loved the ending scene with Luke and Vader as well as Jabba's palace, though the Ewoks brought an unrealistic element which almost distilled the plot of ROTJ - however, ESB was more dark and saddening, which still brings a certain depth to the table). In order, I would have to say that my SW picks go as follows, or at least something like this:

ANH
ESB
ROTJ
ROTS
TPM
AOTC


i agree i cant get attacted to the characters in the PT the same way as i do in the OT

Empire and Star Wars are still the best in the series. ROTS was sh*t

Boba's old voice was awsome. Very Clint Eastwood in my opinion and Boba was copied from Clint's character in the man with no name western movies

How did i miss out on this thread im going with Revenge Of The Sith it gave me goosebumps from start to finish and its probably because i saw at the theaters 10 times stood in line for 4 hours for it in costume. I also like the prequal trilogy better than the original trilogy sorry guys im new school.

I respectfully disagree. It's definately the best of the prequel trilogy, and I'd definately say more entertaining than ANH. ESB is the best to me, followed by ROTJ, then ROTS.

Why must everyone compare them? It's all one story.

That's like asking a parent which kid is their favorite.

Or asking a twice-champion ball player which championship is his favorite.

Well, my parents openly call my sister their favourite...

They're all quite different films... and ESB is the best made, and to me has the best story, themes, character development, and the best fight.

ESB totally owns everything. It's the closest you can get to a perfect film.

Yeah, but these are MOVIES.

There ARE favourite movies. Probably because they were each made over a 3 year course, and the difference between the OT and the PT is about 16 years.

Parents are conflicted, champion's not always conflicted, movie watchers rarely conflicted.

It would have been okay if it didn't exactly sound like jango but have his own kind of voice but they cheaply got the actor who played jango in AOTC to re talk over the actor who they got to play boba in the original trilogy.

My mom...who has never watched Star Wars...doesnt' realy appreicate Sci-fi....thinks Star WArs is for kids, etc.

I made her watch the OT...then the PT. She thought A New Hope was ok.....but then she got REALLy interested when i showed her ESB. Then for the other ones, she got back to thinking it's for kids...even ROTS (too flashy, melodramatic, subpar acting, etc).

So I've concluded for non-Star Wars fans...even ESB can stimulate some interest...hence, the better movie. And yes, i'm only basing this on my mom. stick out tongue
