STAR WARS EPISODE II

[Justin 188]

What about "With great power comes great responsibility"?

[Ben Mitchell]

Folks in the theater I was in were:

Laughing when Anakin's mother died, and he flipped out

Cheering when Yoda was on screen

And whistling for Natalie Portman...it was a loud movie

[Suike]

That's how I am during the movie too... I scream, cheer and make comments like, "Just kiss her and get it over with!" or like when the music cuts out during the kiss and she says, "NO!" I go, "Oh man, you just got shut down!" I love this movie!!

Back to the whole Spiderman vs. ATOC, well I figured that the way they do this whole grossing thing is stupid. It shouldn't be how much money you make but how much the movie grossed per screen, or even theater. Spiderman and Harry Potter (top 2 highest weekend films) both were in a little over 3,600 theaters which is about 8,000 screens each. Star Wars is in 3,100 theaters and only 6,100 screens!! Those extra 2000 screens sure do help out. So why don't they figure it out by theater gross or screen gross??

AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

YODA IS THE FRIGGIN BEST!!!!!!!!!
GUESS WHAT MOVIE I JUST SAW!!!!!!!

[Suike]

Yea... he's cool... he hops around like a Lemming bouncing and spinning and kicking butt. And then when it's all over, he walks away with his cane. Pretty cool, I suggest you see it. The $8.75 alone is worth it.

You just saw Spiderman? Bah! You shoulda spent your $8.75 on Episode 2. You could have seen Yoda with a light-saber.

So, you used to play Lemmings?
Great game.

I m sort of a Stars Wars lover, and i thought it was better than the "action packed" (as some may call it), Episode 1.
i thought it was awesome how they had so many references to the first three.
though i still don't uderstand how people still don't relise that they are PREQUILS and not SEQUILS!

PLUS, HOW COULD ANYBODY PASS-UP SEEING YODA KICK SOME DARK SIDE #$@!!!

Oh man! I LOVED that game! One of the BEST old-skewl games, except for maybe Commander Keen. I tried looking through my old floppies to see if I still had it. Turns out I don't. But I DID find

this disk.

No idea what it is, but it looks really cool.

I thought Star Wars: AOTC was much better when compared to Spiderman, not saying that Spiderman was a bad movie or anything... I'm just a Star Wars addict lol Spiderman could've been much better, The Green Goblin?! What kind of Villian is THAT?! Doc Oc should've been the villian... on the other hand, Star Wars AOTC was great, Mace was like "yo' this party is over!" leading me to think there's a little Shaft involved there... Overall Star Wars was cool, Boba Fett was a little fat kid though.. not cool... I highly recommend seeing AOTC over Spiderman anyday - Ryan AKA 'Raul'

I thought Star Wars II was alright but I think George Lucas should stick with what he knows like kick a** action scenes and stay away from things he doesn't know like love scenes. The love scenes with Padme and Anakin stunk.
I think Anakin should not be given a Light Saber until he promises not to break them or lose them
Also, when did R2D2 forget how to fly? I didn't see him flying in SW IV, V or VI, did you?
Also, in SW IV, how come R2D2 or C3PO didn't recognize Luke's Aunt and Uncle's house?
All in all I thought the movie was pretty good. Boy, can Yoda dish it out.

Just my $.02 worth

I wondered some of the same things, and here is how I understand them:

With R2, the rockets are only under warranty for so long by the company that manufactures him. R2 is already kind of old, this can be seen with the R4 unit Obi-Wan uses. So by the time episode IV roles around, they prob just don't work.

With the droids not remembering the house, think about how many times they are re-programmed. C3PO doesn't even recognize R2 from the first movie =)

This is how I see it.

[DaveyPotter144]

That makes much sense. Now that I think about it.

I just wanted to let you all know that yoda is the bomb...even those that already knew it. I work at the movies and everytime it gets near the yoda part I am in there watching it!

I love hearing the "oh my" "yoda!" and gasps that people are making. I don't know about other fans of SW but it's amazing to finally see Yoda fight. He's gone through most of the movies with such a role that seemed insignificant, but to finally see him in action...it makes everything worth the money...even though I don't pay for tickets but oh well.

As for spiderman, I found a flaw!!!

Did anyone notice when Osborne lays down and gets put into the chamber for the exp? Ok, well, when it raises up did anyone notice how those electrodes magically appear?

Strange, the dark side is.

Kicks Spideys butt, Yoda does!

[Suike]

As for all those "flaws" or continuity problems with the new and old trilogy... look at it like this.

Between SW I and SW II there is a 10 year gap. Between SW II and SW III there is a gap of like 5 years. Between SW III and SW IV there is something like a 15-20 year gap and so on with these gaps of 5+ years... If you were a droid, you'd get reprogrammed many times during these years as well as forget if you have boosters or not. The thing I'm really wondering is what happened to the galaxy. It seems that in the new trilogy there is this huge deal with really advanced technology that in the last trilogy there just isn't any. I look at as almost a "Dark Ages" deal. It's weird...

BTW, did anybody by chance catch the Biography of George Lucas on A&E? It was pretty good. This whole week they are showing Biographies on Star Wars actors. Tomorrow is Mark Hamil. Don't miss it!! Starts at 8pm. And also may I suggest everyone check out www.theforce.net << good info as well as a funny humor section and for Star Wars humor check out www.holonetnews.com. Well I'm off to finish my essay and to listen to more Star Wars music from John Williams (the God of music). May the force be with you!
