For those who have seen Epsiode 3, will there be a 3 1/2? Click though to comments... I don't want to post my spoilers where those who have not seen it will see....
Sorry still messes up, I don't know why.... weird....
Sorry, everything is coming up in italics... hope you can read what I wrote.... why is it doing that!
All I can say is I thought it was soooo unfair that Luke's twin sister gets to grow up a princess and he has to grow up a dirt farmer!
Why was Leah a princess? Not becauseof Padme, she had ceased to be a princess long before she died. Can anybody help who knows the backstory?
I thought there was some mention of her adoptive family being some type of royalty. But I'm not sure--I was passing popcorn to the kids at the time.
Why didn't Vader go to his wife's funeral? I didn't see him there. Can't be because he was afraid of anyone there.
And how does Vader eventually learn that Luke is his son? No one tells him about the babies. Does he just sense that through the Force?
yes I agree. These are indeed INCONSISTENCIES...
perhaps warranting an Epsiode 3 1/2?
I just remember in one of the original movies when luke is facing down vader and vader reveals he knows about leah when he says to luke,..."ah yes...sistaaah..."
I'm not sure its enough to build an entire episode around.
I'd rather see and Episode VII where Luke turns to the dark side--following in his father's footsteps. But thats just me.
For Padme not to see this was pretty ridiculous. He was doomed from the beginning.
I also think Lucas got cold feet, he must have thought about putting in the storyiline that Anakin killed Padme, but then chickened out for the "will to live" crap.
All in all, a good movie, well worth $5.50 if you don't try to analyze the crappy script, the story is good, script, pretty awful. Lucas almost screwed up the climax of the movie with odd word choice.
And what is the deal with 'younglings"? WTF? Would it have killed them to use a regular word like "children"?
wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
There was one inconsistency that I saw. Luke and Ben are at Ben's home and Ben is starting to open a chest and he was speaking to Luke that Anakin wanted to give Luke his lightsaber.
Where in III did Anakin say that? No where. After Ben defeated Anakin, Ben did pick up Anakin's lightsaber, but Anakin didn't say anything about giving his lightsaber to his son, Luke. Heck, he didn't even know that he had a son, or twins at that moment of time!
Am I right about this or am I tripping? LoL
That's strange. Everything
I've heard makes me want to spend
this week's movie bucks
on anything else.
I'll probably watch Paris
die in House of Wax.
I believe Hayden's real height is six foot one inches.
Ever since Return of the Jedi, I've wanted to see Leia come into her own in the force. There is the implication that she does, and I know that Lucas had originally planned sequels to follow Episodes 4-6. Just always seems to leave the story incomplete/unresolved. I mean, why open that door at all if nothing is to be done with it?
That would make sense, although he didn't know about Leia. Remember when he said to Luke in Return of the Jedi about "sister." And then he said "your feelings have betrayed her. Your mother was wise to hide her from me." Makes me wonder if he didn't know there was one baby, and perhaps had some knowledge of where he was all along, but he never knew of the second one until the showdown on the moon of Endor.
Perhaps not in the script, but it makes sense that he might have said it in passing to Obi Wan at some point in time, before he ever had a son and when his intention was for good.
I seem to recall in one of the first scenes of Episode IV Leia says something to the effect that her father is a powerful man and will be outraged that Darth Vader has kidnapper her. I suppose she means her step-father, since she is talking to her real father. Does anyone else recall that?
That would account for the Leia remembering her mother plothole, or Leia could have been remembering her adopted mother.
Yep, I do. She probably figures that her "father" is her real father. She wasn't told that she was adopted.
To stay true to the story, Darth doesn't have to be the same actor as Anakin since he's been essentially completely rebuilt - plus since he lost both legs and they're replaced with bionic ones they could be different heights from time to time. (like the cop in Young Frankenstein with the interchangeable arms...)
