I've read all books apart from Episode III. Episode II got "borrowed" by a "friend" and never got returned, and we're at different schools now and I have no idea where he is - the book's doomed. But Star Wars is one of those stories meant for film. I don't think the books are as good as the films. They are pretty good though.
--------------------
Power of the Shadow made human flesh,
wakened to turmoil, strife and ruin.
The Reborn One, marked and bleeding,
dances the sword in dreams and mist,
chains the Shadowsworn to his will,
from the city, lost and forsaken,
leads the spears to war once more,
breaks the spears and makes them see,
truth long hidden in the ancient dream.

[quote=DoomedOne]I've got to say nothing quite compares to the first three, where they had real actors and a real story. This last one was above average for any movie, and much better than the previous two, but doesn't compare.[/quote]
Agreed. Ep. 1,2,3 had horrible actors. And George Lucas somehow has the magical ability to make good actors bad. Ex. - Samuel L. Jackson, Natalie Portman....and then that line that yoda said that was REALLY lame
"Not if anything to say about it, I have." Yoda should NOT say that. EVER.
but yes, vast improvement from 1 and 2. And I did like anakin getting his legs/one arm chopped off in one swipe of a lightsaber. Ah, Star Wars...

I thought the movie was brilliant, and i thought it was really sad when the little jedi kids are hiding in the council chamber and they trust Anakin to protect them and he slaughters them

Anikan is still the chosen one but he needed his son to help him uderstand what he was meant to do. Vader destroyed the darkside and balanced the force only by seeing his son in pain.

like this:
I think I remember hearing that the reason Vader has to live on life support and the reasons he's lost arms and legs and whatnot, was a fight he had with the emperor after which he gave in to him.
however in this part we see him have a fight with Obi and that being the reason for his situation.
that's actually what I mean. hope it makes more sense now

In an ancient interview dated more than 20 years, Lucas claimed that Anakin's body was destroyed after the fight with Obi-Wan. Apparently, he had "fallen into a volcano".
In the initial Episode 3 script, from 1983, Anakin once again fights Obi-Wan, and his body is destroyed.
Haven't got a clue where you got that from.

Another plot hole was when luke was talking to leia asking if she remembered their mother, an leia responded she always seemed sad. The way it was done, Leia was referring to real memories, not visions, and if they were visions they would have amde that clear.
Also, darth vader was the chosen one. balance to the force does not mean destruction of the dark-side, it means balance. In the end of his life, the force was balanced. Only one guy, not encessarily good nor evil, with little knowledge of the philosophy of the force, knew how to wield it, and started a new school. Everything about the force and study of it completely restarted, for that galaxy anyway.

I would of never thought of it that way doomed... That makes perfect sense, but its kinda ironic for the jedi..

By the end of Episode 3 it was blanaced.
Two Light siders (Yoda and Obi-wan)
Two Dark siders (Darth Vader and Darth Sidious)
Balance.
I liked this movie, it was awesome, definately makes up for the other two prequels.
I liked the irony of how Anakin's turning to the darkside to try and save Padme from dieing in childbirth caused her to die in childbirth.
Though, really, do not make Vader go "NOOOOOOO!" in a Vader-suit.
It just is...wrong.... :confused:

remidns me of a short story I wrote about a guy who forsaw his own death of being killed by a giant underwater fish. great, he knew he was invincible, and how to protect himself from death. Problem is, he had no way of telling the age of himself, so he was jsut compeltely frightened of water from then on. Eventually he gets kidnapped and dumped in the water and caught in some sea-weed. He saw the giant sea creature moving in and struggled to free himself, panicking, losing oxygen. The sea creature approach and looked like it was trying to free him from the sea-weed, but because he was so frightened he ended up fending it off with a knife and stabbing it, so it turned on him and bit him in half. Screwing with the irony of predicting the future is always fun.
By the way, the force was balanced after anakin died. Just because there are two on two doesn't make it balanced. The emperor had enormous power over the entire republic, and yoda was forced to stay in hiding. That's not balance. The balance is that Luke Skywalker would begin a new jedi academy and restart the cycle.
