Posted By: DramI would tell Obi-Wan to shoot Anakin.
Oh wait, those three weren'tcanon.

I always wondered why Obi-Wan didn't kill him? "I love you like a brother! So much so that I'm going to leave you here as your flesh burns and you suffer in great agony! Peace out, brotha!"Now's the time on Sprockets when ve dance!

This is why I shouldn't have Photoshop.We were bareley seventeen and we were barely dressed!

No my friend, that's why you need photoshop at all times! Priceless!Book: If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of Hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

The world needs more Photoshop like a song needs more cowbell.

Anyway...one wonders why Obi-Wan didn't try to tug the massively amputated Vader back with him for some much-needed reeducation.

Oh wait, that's right...the sight of him with Padme would be way too hyperemetic for anyone to bear. Or maybe he was hoping for a shot at her once she popped the kid.Smiling represses the gag reflex. ~S. Sidle

@Seandalf I've gotta disagree with you on a couple of points there. Regarding the commercialism that's a debatable point, at the time of the first trilogy merchandising on that scale had never been seen before. Gotta give George Lucas credit on that, he did insist on retaining control of licensing rights for products and so forth and you could say that's where he made the most of his money from the first trilogy. So to say the first trilogy had commercialism built into it i disagree, the success of the movies allowed them to create the toys and lunch boxes that created the world of the movie toy tie in. For the prequels the toys were created before the movie was even out, i remember going to a Toys R Us for a midnight launch of figures and stuff (My friend is a mad collector, not me!) before the phantom menace even opened, the first trilogy the desire for merchandise happened naturally, it wasn't forced on us from the word go.

Also on the claim they are GL's movies i emphatically disagree, when something is created that is so loved, so soaked into an entire cultures consciousness, it no longer remains the property of the creator. We all have a vested interest in Star Wars and its continued existence because we love it so much. I can't speak for anyone but myself but i want to see it succeed i'm happy to give George Lucas my money if he's creating the best product possible but he's not because he can't step away from it and see that he does as much harm as good. He's not a good director, he's not a good script writer, on both counts he's quite clumsy and heavy handed. You can't blame Lucas for the poor casting choices in Christansen and Portman, but their poor dialogue and wooden acting that's all on Lucas' head.

We all remember the original trilogy through rose coloured glasses. Yes it was cheesy and dumb in alot of places but we've all matured, it would've been nice to see the same from Lucas and his ideas. Yes Star Wars are essentially kids movies, and maybe we're all to jaded and cynical but the prequels stink of trying to hard to capture lightning twice and it stings to see something you love being so mishandled.

Also no bile here, i just love healthy intelligent debate. It has to be possible in at least one place on the internet, doesn't it?Never go with a hippie to a second location.

Revenge of the Sith was on TV last night. I ended up watching bits and pieces of it and some really frustrating things stuck out to me. Lucas did a pretty good job of tying up lose ends so that they lead into Episode 4 well enough. After the infamous and awful "I have the high ground" moment Obi Wan picks up Anakin's lightsaber and walks away explaining how he has it in Ep. 4, Captain Antilles (Presumably Wedge Antilles father), a few little moments here and there with Bail Organa. All the stuff i appreciate when you're building a mythology.

I assume everyone remember Yoda's famous line "Do or do not, there is no try." from Empire. There's a moment just before the duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan when Anakin says "You're either with me or you're against me." With Obi-Wan's reply being "Only Sith deal in absolutes." To me doesn't this clash with Yoda's statement a fair bit if absolutes are Sith talk why is Yoda using them, that's just sloppy writing when in other minor cases Lucas covered himself pretty well. Don't even get me started on Yoda's fleeing from the final battle with the Emperor, i know we need Yoda on Dagobah and the Emperor alive but the character they'd established for Yoda doesn't lend itself to self pity which you clearly see when he's escaping with Bail Organa talking about failure. When Yoda walks into the chamber with the Emperor he's very much in a "It's you or me" type of mood, why does he run away?Never go with a hippie to a second location.
