And while I have the highest respect for Ebert and often agreed with reviews, that doesn't make him automatically right--he was totally wrong about Treasure Planet, for example."Nothing is true, everything is permitted"
Maybe it's the combination of evil eyes and innocent expression?Really? I thought it was the flipping huge knife she's holding...
...So you had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned Padme giving Nass an artillery shell?I was being sarcastic.
Basically, you are saying that everybody who you don't agree with is wrong, which is pure bullshitExcept that's not what I'm saying at all.Just because you don't agree with them, doesn't make them wrong (nor does it make them right, it just means that you don't agree with them )
Maybe it's the combination of evil eyes and innocent expression?Maybe it's the combination of evil eyes, innocent expression, sexual pose, and blatant phallic symbol?
Maybe it's the combination of evil eyes, innocent expression, sexual pose, and blatant phallic symbol?...How old is she again?
"I'd prefer a straight fight to all this sneakin' around!" How are you still alive?And isn't he supposed to be a rogue? There goes the RPG system.
She's not likely to be rich anymore, Luke. You flew through all of the crown jewels and royal gold reserves. Good thing Han is a moron.You know...that never actually occurred to me.
Luke jitters like Tali when she wants to say something. But she's twice the man he could ever be.
"Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of the way."Seriously?
Rather than Leia falling afoul by fridge logic, now she's screwed by the EU. And I don't mean that whole Leia/Mara OTP thing. "Walking carpet" has basically been retconned from being an off-the-cuff snark to a racial slur. So, Leia's a RACIST. Thanks EU!
And Threepio's nowhere near the simpering twat he is in the PT. Maybe flanderizing him senseless as revenge for rejecting George's prized "key to all of this" wasn't such a good idea!I happen to like OT Threepio. Plus Anthony Daniels is a really nice guy.
"Can't believe he's gone."BUT HE'S THE MENTOR! THE MONOMYTH SAYS SO!
You've only known him, like... fifteen hours. A day at most.
Tracking devices and letting the heroes go... instead of just utter failure to hold them. What novel ideas. Are we sure this is part of the SW canon?Give it time; Lucas hasn't realized he needs to retcon it into gross incompetence yet.
And Leia kisses her twin brother again... because she's always known.They certainly could have spared a lot of awkwardness by leaving that line out of RotJ.
"Look at the size of that thing.""Why so defensive, Joker?"
Seriously? On both counts....The Leia/Mara thing was a joke. Or was there something else in there?
Anakin Solo: "Well, I don't think it's so strange that you had a dream with me in it. After all, we met last night right before you went to sleep."HE'S ELEVEN AND SHE'S NINE!
Tahiri: "Don't flatter yourself. You're not so terrific that I'd have a dream about you for no reason."

Breha Organa had at least five miscarriages, despite receiving treatment from the best fertility doctor in the Galactic Republic.The part tagged with a 1 comes a TCW novel. Yeaaaaaaah.[1] Eventually, her doctors informed her that another attempt to conceive would probably kill her. [2]
You know, as I watch Han gut an animal with full view of its entrails bursting forth, I realize that Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, and Empire form a trilogy of their own. It's the "really not for kids" trilogy. Of course, ROTS still had baby-level storytelling...And don't forget the first fifteen minutes of RotS, full of Obi-Wan thinking his funny and baby-talking super battle droids.
Now, the problem with the EU is they have the Rebels and Rogues in particular fighting AT-ATs well before this battle. But it's pretty clear this is the first time Luke tried the cable trick... even though, because it was in the movie, it's also the only way to kill them in the canonical games (in the first Rogue Squadron, at least, you could kill AT-ATs with blaster fire, but required hundreds of hits and took several minutes. And in all levels they appeared in, save one, AT-ATs applied strong time pressure to destroy them before they wiped out a mission-critical target).The KND parody of this was absolutely beautiful.
You too, Star Trek.DS9 did this...though I admit quite a bit of it happens off-screen. But then in "Tears of the Prophets" and its follow-up in "Images in the Sand," the Federation does get pretty well screwed--killing Jadzia and the Prophets aside. Of course, the Sisko comes back and saves the day again in the next episode...
That asteroid field is ridiculously dense. It's harder to hit asteroids for survey missions than it is to pass through its entire length unmolested.I think that any time there's an asteroid field on screen in anything.
...So, the familiar thing is being watched, or... what? I mean, you're a kid from a desert planet. What the hell about a swamp is familiar to you?Considering Tattooine's population density, feeling watched should be pretty unfamiliar too...Except I forgot that Tattooine's entire population exists in a 20 square kilometer area.
Damn, Palpy, you're chunky. How did you lose so much weight in a year? How many pantaloon sizes did you drop?Like I said, after not aging a day in twenty-one years, he proceeds to age 500 years in the next year.
That said, I have no issue with touching up the glowing-eyed ape mask voiced by Clive Revill with the actor who would go on to play the character in the next film. I just wish they put in more effort with making him look like he does in the next film.This.
"I can be a Jedi! See, I can smash my head open and die right here and now! I can die pointlessly just like Qui-Gon!"Dying pointlessly is the Jedi and Starfleet Officer way.
Gee, good thing the temperature and pressure outside the ship is comparable to human norms. Otherwise the ship would decompress... they would experience severe physical discomfort... I mean, they're less thermally protected than on Hoth.So what must that asteroid be made of to support ~1G and 1 atm?
Dammit, accents aren't genetic.Lucas seems to think everything is genetic. Including whinyness.
UNLESS YOU'RE SETH GREEN
"No! No different! Only different in your mind! ...Size matters not!"Yep.
That has opened the floodgates on more heinously ridiculous bullshit the Expanded Universe than the coddling of your collective human teats--no, wait... well, anyway, it did open the doors to Luke casually Forcing around black holes and the entire The Force Unleashed project.
"For my ally is the Force. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us, and binds us. Luminous beings are we. Not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you, here... between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere. Yes, even between the land and the ship."Pocahontas disagrees with you because exaggerated Native American spirituality ftw!
Even being generous... the rock and ship are not alive.
Wow! Look at the angle that ISD flew by at! Three dimensional space!Reminds me of DS9 where every time they show Empok Nor, the camera is slightly tilted...just to let you know it's abandoned.
"No, there is another."Who did it refer to originally, since Leia was a last-minute decision in RotJ? Or was it just meant to be vague and applicable to anything they decided to pull out of their hats (or other places) at a later date?
But apparently, this DOESN'T refer to Leia? Or... it does... but then it doesn't when we need another superJedi to come out for a project. I dunno, Lucas Licensing has waffled on that point so many times that the line is meaningless.
...Or maybe it is. Oh, no, he's just trying to say "Han." Badly.LEE-a and Hćn!
Senator (D-Naboo)This is way more hilarious than it ought to be.
Prowse's gestures don't quite match the intensity of Jones' dialog... during the whole "join me" part. It gets better with "If you only knew the power of the Dark Side."Agreed.
WHY ARE YOU WEARING HAN'S CLOTHES, LANDO?"Oh, I found them in his closet, and he didn't seem to need them. Why?"
To think, that medical ship is a whole five meters shorter than the refitted Enterprise (and Constitution class in general).I didn't realize
Also, isn't it numinous?The subtitles and novelization rather firmly state "luminous."
The KND parody of this was absolutely beautiful.Find video. Preferably that includes Jennifer Hale.
So what must that asteroid be made of to support ~1G and 1 atm?Depends on how deep the slug monster is.
Reminds me of DS9 where every time they show Empok Nor, the camera is slightly tilted...just to let you know it's abandoned.Yeah, but this had two ships in frame with nearly orthogonal vectors. Compared to, oh, Revenge of the Sith where even though the ships are layered, they don't bother shooting anything more than a hundred meters up or down.
Pocahontas disagrees with you because exaggerated Native American spirituality ftw!And that's why I'm reviewing Star Wars movies and people don't even know what killed her. <
The subtitles and novelization rather firmly state "luminous."Huh. I always heard "numinous"...even before I knew that was a word.
Find video. Preferably that includes Jennifer Hale.Season 4, episode 10: "Operation: S.N.O.W.I.N.G." I'm pretty certain Numbuh 86 is in that episode, but if not Jennifer Hale is also the voice of the computer.
And that's why I'm reviewing Star Wars movies and people don't even know what killed her. <Pfft, Disney princesses don't die rather horrible deaths of smallpox!_<
This is the first SW movie I ever saw...Funny, me too.
Salacious Crumb is disturbingly fascinated by Jabba's tail.He is well named.
Also, Luke's expressions while he processes that Leia is his sister... canon may insist there were no Lannisterian shenanigans, but the actors seemed to believe it.Both certainly seem adequately horrified.
Get it? They're primitive so they're worship anything shiny... just like the Native Americans George saw in movies when he was growing up!It's always pleasing to know that as horribly stereotyped as Star Trek has portrayed them, Star Wars has been far worse--between the Ewoks and the Tusken Raiders.
Hamill shows he's a pretty good actor with that wry smirk and stifled laughter... followed by sudden horror at Han's turn to violence. Shame was he typecast to where he can never act in front of a screen... just behind a microphone. Oh well, the Silver Screen's loss is animation's gain, Batsy!And now, lassy, Stickybeard will be takin' yer candy!
Now, why didn't they eat Leia? Or do they only eat people when they find shiny new gods?Because
"Leia. Do you remember your mother? Your real mother?"Lucas has no time concept.
"Just a little bit. She died when I was very young."
I suppose forty-five seconds out of the birth canal qualifies as "very young."
"I have no memory of my mother."
You're lucky, Luke. The rest of us are forced to remember.
"That name no longer has any meaning for me! I don't want to think about those movies."Surprisingly, the PT makes Vader so much easier to sympathize with.
The dead one is currently named "Corpsey."Well that is in no way macabre.
This shall always be the ultimate lightsaber battle to me...Agreed.
