Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith [SPOILERS]

[ourchair]

Hey, I just came from an advanced screening of Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith. I have a lot of things to say about it, but for the interest of non-spoilerificness, I'm shush till anybody begs me to spill.

I don't think it's officially in theatres yet, but there were advanced screenings from some local cellphone company that just loves to tie its promotions into every major American motion picture release. Premieres are much easier to get into here, but at the same time, we also get our movie release dates almost the same time (and sometimes earlier) as the U.S.

Any of you seen it yet to discuss? Or anyone want to give me free license to talk about it AND ask a moderator to mark this thread as SPOILERIFIC?

Dear Ourchair,

I'm begging you to spoil... I'd like to know what happens to R2 and C-3po... their memories of the events that take place in the prequel.

 

[E]

Ooooh boy it's going to be hard to resist this thread.

I already had to give up playing the Episode 3 game because it was giving too much away.

R2-D2 and C3PO dont really get much of a role in the movie, but they are privy to a lot of events that happen here. Their absolute ignorance of Anakin, Padme and the whole shebang is explained when Bail Organa requests that a "Commander Antillies" has them mind-wiped. From then onforward we can assume that R2D2 C3PO stay with Organa and Antilles up to the starting point of Episode IV: A New Hope.

Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader!!!!!!! :shock:

I'm sorry, but while I was "convinced" by his transformation, I can't say I had a very pleasant emotional response to the whole thing. Anakin was just a total moron, and I found myself very annoyed by his impetuousness and rank stupidity.

We already do. It's got a mini fridge and a recliner!!!

Your kidding me, right? I thought Darth Vader kills Anakin.

yeah..... and then Princess Amadala has twins and dies.

 

[elfreo]

yeah..... and then Princess Amadala has twins and dies.

how does she die? because i heard anakin kills her.

 

[TheManWithoutFear]

Who are the twins? I heard rumors that it's Luke and Leia but they're like lovers in the OT... some hott stuff.

 

[eroz]

hehehe...I don't know.. haven't seen it. I'm just saying stuff that we know from watching episodes 4-6. I'm guessing it all gets explained or we are shown how in episode 3.

 

[eroz]

Actually its chewbacca and one of the ewoks.

Hahaha. Where have you been MWF? That's just what Ben says. Doesn't mean it's true. I've read the book. I know what happens.

Dude. Luke had this romantic farmboy thing for rescuing Princess Leia, but they never became lovers at all. And by the end of Return of the Jedi it was revealed that they were brother and sister. Padme Amidala basically had them together as twins.

As for "Darth Vader" killing Anakin Skywalker, Vader makes it clear that Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi was lying, shielding Luke from the truth. But in a metaphorical sense, Darth Vader really did "kill" Anakin Skywalker in the sense that the power-mad Sith eclipsed the personality of the ambitious young Jedi. And Obi-Wan makes it clear that that is exactly what he meant.

Well, I don't know what the novelization says (a pretty important distinguishing point, because if the past novelizations are any indication, there are usually significant differences made), but basically Anakin (now Lord Vader) does a force choke on Padme Amidala after discovering that Obi-Wan Kenobi has stowed away on her ship, and accuses her of being in alliance with Obi-Wan against him. She passes out (but does not die) but after Obi-Wan and Vader have their fight, she dies shortly after childbirth, and they make it clear its because she has "lost the will to live" after losing Anakin to the dark side.

immaculate conception,only solution.

I watched Episode 1 on tv the other night (It was a religious holiday here. What else would they do except have a Star Wars marathon?) and his mother was claiming that Anakin was an immaculate conception.

Yeah, I remember that one. I wish they removed that whole midichlorians bull crap though. It's just unnecessary science. (Nobody needs to point out the irony of me liking Warren Ellis and hating unnecessary science, thanks.)

 

[Patriot Mk2]

What midochlorians crap?What was that stuff?

 

[eroz]

What midochlorians crap?What was that stuff?

I think that is what makes the Force. The more midichlorians a Jedi has the stronger the Force is with him. This is all according to Episode 1.

Right so.An immaculate conception makes so much more sense.......

After watching Episode 1, I got the feeling that Palpatine was Anakin's father. It was never said in the movie, I just got that impression and that Anakin's mother was just hiding who the father really was.
