captinchikin (01/06/2016) [-] It's the part where she's in the snowy woods which later turn out to be Starkiller Base . I've seen the movie 5 times so far, and each time I hear something new in that scene.

distortedflare ONLINE (01/06/2016) [-] He actually sent me some signed CD recently. I work for a charity and given my dad knows his mum I designed a few CD's for the charity and he signed them. He is a good bloke and down to earth.

angelious (01/05/2016) [-] remember all those times people said "lightsabers are dangerous in the hands of untrained people and only jedi can use them"
i believe we finally have proof of it.

pennydragon (01/06/2016) [-] Dude, it's always been a silly argument to justify why lightsabers "are the weapon of a Jedi Knight" and not a weapon that just anybody could be using
And one of the oldest arguments towards that end has been that a lightsaber would be too difficult for someone without the force to even use it because they'd cut off one of their own limbs.
This isn't a failure to use the (prop) weapon, Obi-Wan didn't hurt himself. Nor did Han on Hoth or Flynn on wherever . This was a failure of "Obi-Wan" to be mindful of where his friend was standing while he was needlessly flourishing his weapon.

pennydragon (01/06/2016) [-] Yes but the counter argument would be that if he can use it after just picking it up, why couldn't he then carefully and diligently use it faster like a weapon?
I'm not suggesting Han Solo would suddenly become a skilled and proficient swordsman, let alone a master, let alone defeat someone with the power and supernatural reflexes given by the guidance of the Force. He could just swing a lightsaber at someone without always wounding himself.
I'm not saying he could never suffer an accident either, just that it wouldn't happen all the time. People in real life have also hurt themselves when using very mundane tools for utility purposes, yet we generally don't pretend these tools are unusable to anyone but a special class of people.
Maybe lightsabers are just associated with Jedi knights, like swords were with regular knights. Maybe lightsabers are rare and or prohibitively expensive for a regular person to have. It might make way less sense to have a lightsaber when they could use a (for them) more effective blaster or a cheaper vibro weapon instead. Maybe the Jedi order and the Republic restricted lightsaber ownership. Maybe powerful force users can kick people's asses with any weapon or no weapon at all, and the lightsaber just so happens to be particularly excellent in their hands.

canichaikait (01/05/2016) [-] After the scene, he called 911 and proceeded to give Hayden Christensen cpr dispite protests from Lucas and Christensen himself.

frutus ONLINE (01/06/2016) [-] Yeah well I agree Lucas is to blame.
He did one thing good though, he removed a lot of boring scenes in the final cut. Saw some removed footage where Queen Amidala and some other funky fellows where sitting and talking and talking and talking forever. I'm glad they decided to add more fighting and lightsabers.
btw, Christensen wasn't complete ******* if that's the impression I gave, I just thought he could've done a better job. Or you guys are right and it's Lucas' fault. I'll need to watch the movies again.

daniboyi (01/06/2016) [-] I'm with viscerys.
When Hayden has scenes where he is ordered to stay silent, he looks amazing. He looks exactly like the guy I would believe Darth Vader was before he became dependent on the suit.
The problem is obviously the writing and directing.
Hell there are even a few scenes where he talks that I think are worth some credit.

barakakaka (01/06/2016) [-] You see, this entire scene was unscripted. In the end Quentin Tarantino decided it would be better to keep it this way so he made Ben Kenobi Darth Vader, after he impregnated Samuel " ************ " Jackson and due to feeling guilt for killing Gandalf Skywalker.

bendingtimeisgood ONLINE (01/06/2016) [-] I think Hayden Christensen was actually a really good choice for young Anakin. Shame about the writing and direction, though.

dvdfaust ONLINE (01/06/2016) [-] Granted, that's probably judging from known actors. I don't know Hayden from anything but Star Wars, but that might be my own fault for not being enough of a film buff. Who knows who auditioned? I dunno. The prequels are a ******* mystery. I'd love to hear a definitive answer from Lucas as to the Jar Jar Sith theory, that might make a lot of **** make sense.

theimmortalbeaver (01/06/2016) [-] I dunno if I could find a source on this, but as far as I understand it, Jar-Jar was not originally a villain. Apparently, one early version of Episode 2 made him into one based on the fan response to the character.

honestly i think that could work, maybe... depends on how old he was

huntergriff ONLINE (01/06/2016) [-] well he's 41 now. so...he would have been twenty six by the time episode II started filming.
hayden was 19 at the time episode II started filming in 2000.
yeah, leo would be too old, about ewan's age, actually .

wowtransmogdude (01/06/2016) [-] I have no clue. You know what doesn't make sense? One dialog between Palpatine and Mace during Episode 3.
Palpatine: Are you threatening me, master Jedi?
Mace Windu: The senate will decide your fate.
Seriously. Watch the scene. How the **** is that an answer to a question?
