I mean SITH fans -

**** Star Wars Spoilers Ahead ****

Did we get an explanation of why the
Stormtroopers ( clones ) suddenly
turned on the Jedi just because Sidious
said so?

Were they in secret alliance the whole time,
even when they saved Obi Wan and co. in the
last movie (Ep. II) in their battle with Chris Lee ? (AKA Dracula)

Also, did we ever get an explanation of why
each character has three names -

Senator Pantaloons becomes Darth Sidious who
then becomes the Emperor ?

Just wondering.

Didn't Sidious create them? I havn't watched the 2nd one, so I'm not sure.

No they were created by another alien race
neutral in the conflict by request of a
'mystery' Jedi.

All I know is that it wasn't anywhere near as good as it should have been.

See? Hex was paying attention.

H - I thought it was probably the best of the prequels. But still, I know what you mean. Sometime in the 20 years between the old movies and the new, Lucas got it into his head that he wasn't just a guy who could make cheap 'n cheerful fairy tales, but that he could write "serious, meaningful films".

He cannot.

But, hell, there were lots of flashing lights and loud noises, so I was satisfied.

I thought the best light saber fight in the film was between the Jedi and Lord Greivous.

He seemed more evil than Vader in this one.

Oki Wan Fanoki got beat by Darth Vader in
the original Star Wars, but only because
he let Vader win.

That really never got explained did it ?

Any takers?

Well for anyone who was wondering about
the script or dialogue in the film, I just
read a short interview with Lucas where he
admits "I am not a writer" and how frusterated he was writing even the early
ones.

Eventually he gave up and Lawrence Kasdan
wrote Empire and another one of the films.

Jidaigeki, a genre of films about Samurai

Err, sort of. "Jidaigeki" translates more literally as "period drama" - the period in question is just almost always the Edo period of the Tokugawa shogunate, and before. "Jidai" certainly means period, era or age, as the "Sengoku Jidai" in which many of Kurosawa's films are set translates (again, roughly) as "Age of the Country at War". That said, I don't think Lucas is up enough on his languages to do much more than name his pseudo-samurai knightly order after a related word he'd heard plenty - having funded Kagemusha, among others - and stuck in his head.

Still, those are interesting references to spot. It's funny watching all the films now, and seeing all the bits Lucas ripped straight out of old Samurai flicks and war movies. Like the bit with the Death Star in Ep. IV - Dambusters, anyone?

I'm just glad it's over.

I have no plans to see this movie and i'll be glad when it's not talked about anymore.
Star Wars should have ended in the 80's.

Well there is going to be a live-action
Star Wars TV show.

Perhaps that is why they said something about
Obi Wans further training w/ Qui Gon

I wanted torment and darkness. All I got was flashing lights. One scene sums up the whole movie for me. The one where Samuel L Jackson gets wiped out. Step forward Skywalker:
"What have I done? Oh well.. I might as well be a sith lord." Bollocks.
