Well Hayden Christensin wasn't in the first movie.. Besides that I think it was more bad writing/directing than bad acting he did really well with a lot of things but when he says stupid things that's not really his fault... Unless we believe tumblr and everything ever was spontaneous.
Personally i thought Sidious became a bit over the top once the big bad guy reveal happened, he started talking to Anakin like an old pedophile who just found his way into a school shower. Ewan did good though, but he had some dodgy lines but that really isn't his fault
ewan did good for his lines. plus he was actually quite good for his part since he actually resembled the older obi from the original trilogy, and even managed to act the same.
sidious was also meant to be over the top, he was supposed to be a sith, revelling in his own evil and **** like that.
i can understand that i guess, since it was the same actor as the original emperor he obviously matched his original interpretation. Still some of the line deliveries made it look like he was getting hard around Anakin
ewan is the guy who played obi wan. he didnt play obi wan in the original ones.
palp was played by the same actor, and he did great job. and idk what you mean about the last part..but i suppose enjoyment and sexual thrill are often similiar?
Palpatine is the king of over-the-top. Once he becomes Emperor, he start purposefully ******* up the economy to create more misery in the galaxy and strengthen the Dark Side. The guy is puppy-kicking evil.
They're MONKS. Monks who eschew depths of emotion! They are ALL by societal definition 'boring'. Mace Windu actually shows more emotion than a Jedi should due to the fact he also harnesses a touch of the Dark Side. In that sense he has more personality than he's supposed to.
He's also the ****** with the purple lightsaber! There's nothing forgettable about the man, you just suck at Star Wars.
and yet. among the monks he managed to be less impressive than things like anakin skywalker. and again, we have seen dark skinned people in star wars before. there are even aliens in the universe. his personality is bland,his dialogue is shoddy and he is just a forgettable character.
heck for the first part of my life i didnt even know it was samuel l who played the character since the performance was so god awfully bland...
I am like 90 percent sure you don't even know what cuck even means. You just say it because the cool kids on 4chan say it and you wanna be one of the cool kids.
What i mean is that the Jedi Council was a bunch of cocklords, who decided it was impossible for them to just buy his mother's freedom- which would have thereby prevented his turn to the dark side. While Kylo was just some weeaboo fangirl.
I agree that Episode 3 Anakin is better than Episode 7 Ren, however Episode 7 is the first in the trilogy. Anakin's character development ended at being an edgy bitch, while Kylo Ren still has time to develop. (Spoilers) He just killed a family member/ loved one, which is the dark side equivalent of steroids. Also, he's fresh off of a large defeat and about to finish his training. I think that Kylo Ren will mature nicely into a Sith by the next episode
but Ani was still very powerful. Ren is a stupid cunt who apparently had trained some time with the dark side but he still loses to a bitch who just realized she might be a jedi or some **** . not to mention that the dark side is supposed to be the fast and easy way to master the force and the jedi way takes a long time and discipline and this bitch instantly mind controls ****** . or maybe she is a little on the dark side too, that would kinda explain it and make the whole thing more interesting... though Ren is still a complete moron and a talentless hack for losing to her still.
at least Ani killed a lot of jedies. who did Ren manage to kill? some ***** who doesn't even use the force. oh wait he survives. and no, I don't really count his normie kills as kills, because compared to a sith or a jedi, a normal cunt without force on their side is just a fly that can be easily crushed.
and what's the whole "the light side is tempting me" crap is? ******* weakling. this could explain why he isn't strong, because he never was on the dark side. but still, dark side is absolute, light side needs discipline and **** like that. it's easier to fall to dark side than fall to light.
anyway.
Ren is useless lol.
Why did everyone hate that line so much? It never bothered me like it did everyone else.
It was very indicative that he was not a fan of his childhood or home planet, and he's much more fond of his new surroundings as a Jedi, with Padme, on Naboo.
I agree, he was using sand as an allegory to his childhood. He clearly isn't good at expressing his feelings, due to Jedi training: "emotions are bad" and being a slave is probably hard as **** to talk about.
VII: The Force Awakens
IV: A New Hope
V: Empire Strikes Back
I: Phantom Menace
II: Attack of the Clones
III: Revenge of the Sith
VI: Return of the Jedi
This way, you start with the newest, which will easily get you into the world, then you'll go into the the originals, to the prequels, and finally ending with the last original. Though, you could easily skip Phantom Menace (it's really not that important, at least to me) or you could leave Force Awakens for last instead. But to me, Star Wars is really enjoyable and people have different opinions about how to watch it, so it's up to you. Though I hate watching them in numerical order... I through III can be a snore fest.
Machete Order. It's the best order to watch them. 4,5,2,3,6 (and 7 last). It skips The Phantom Menace because no one cares about it and it isn't that relevant to the overall storyline.
< here you go, the anti-cheese edit of Episode I. In fact, this guy did ALL the films with "anti-cheese" edits. Shortened the podracing scenes, removed the crap about midichlorians, lowered pitch on the Jar Jar people, the guy made several good edits.
See, I like placing 7 in the beginning because they talk about the originals a lot, and it gives reason to why Luke would disappear... kinda like a flashback within a flashback.
If they were gonna show his face at all, it would've been much better to show it when Han faced him on the bridge
But they shouldn't have shown his face, period. It made him lose the tension and commanding presence that he had earlier.
The more I think about it, the more I see how cool the overlying theme of the prequels is (note I said theme, not necessarily execution)
Over the course of the movies, it's clear is having difficult moral decisions to make, between himself and his responsibilities as a Jedi. But no matter what happens in his life, he had 2 things to be at the immovable center of his moral compass: The Jedi Order, and Padme. It's clear he wants to hold himself to a higher standard through his quote in Episode 2 after the Tusken raider massacre "I know I'm better than this.", and his tendency to want to stick to the Jedi way. In conclusion, the Jedi way and Padme are his everything.
He is constantly and slowly being tempted to the dark side throughout the prequels, constantly filled with doubts. But when he has doubts, he always tries to recenter himself back to the Jedi way, and/or Padme. There are two specific plot points that drives Anakin's turn. When Palpatine commands Anakin to execute Count Dooku, he's very reluctant and regretful because it's not the jedi way. Palpatine said "He was too dangerous to be kept alive" Anakin wasn't convinced.
Later when Mace Windu has confronted Palpatine who everyone learned was the Sith, Anakin stops Mace Windu before he executes the Sith. Insisting to Mace Windu that he stick with the Jedi way, and have him stand trial. Mace Windu then says "He's too dangerous to be kept alive". Anakin who has consistently had doubts in the Jedi order came to a revelation at this point as this was the straw that broke the camel's back. That the Jedi order is just as corrupt as the Dark side, he felt he could no longer trust the Jedi order, which was his moral compass lied. The reason he turned to the dark side, isn't because he felt the dark side was better and the Jedi were worse, it was simply the only decision that would allow him to save Padme, which is now his everything. He completely gave up caring about taking sides, he stopped caring about his meaningless restrictions of emotions and the force, he now only lived for himself and his family.
His disloyalty to the Dark side is made evident, when he tells Padme that he will overthrow the Emperor and they can make the galaxy the way they want it. As peaceful and un-corrupt as they want it. He had not turned to the Dark side, he just turned to just himself and his family. When he failed and Padme died (to which he believes he was responsible for), he gave up on believing in anything. He gave up on everything, as Padme was his everything, now he didn't have anything left except his own scorched body.
This is why, in Episode 5, when Darth Vader learns of his son's existence, he suddenly becomes obsessed with finding him. Years of living a meaningless existence have now ended, as his son is still alive. He regains hope and makes finding him his main objective, and when he does find him, he told him the same dream he told Padme. "Luke. You can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son. Come with me. It is the only way."
Anakin Skywalker's moral compass, after he felt the Jedi order betrayed him, now only lies with his family. His actions were only done for his long term goals for his family. This narrative was brilliant, but made Anakin look more like an angsty teenager than morally disconnected character he was meant to be.
