Remember when kenobi shoots him and then remarks at how uncivilized it was. He dismembered a dude in a bar fight and used the force to mind gently caress a guy selling death sticks. But yeah, shooting a bad guy trying to kill you. Thats uncivilized.

Don't forget the beheadings. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Abeloth  quote:Abeloth was antagonized by loneliness; she felt an absolute need to be loved and adored, and was nearly overcome when Vol attacked her with the idea that she was hideous and despised. She fed her craving for adulation by instilling in Force-sensitives a desire to be with her. This stemmed from her original fear of losing her family, who remained ageless while she became old and decrepit.

Well, having the fights actually have emotional impact instead of just being visual spectacles was an improvement for the story. Flippy poo poo is fun to watch and all, but it never feels particularly clever in the films, it's missing something to make it swashbuckling, you know?

Did anyone ever call out Lucas on that bullshit he was peddling when TPM came out about old men and cyborgs not being able to flip around like chinese acrobats but then sure enough next two movies are full of old men and cyborgs flipping around like, well like a poorly animated CG approximation of chinese acrobats if we're being honest, but still.

Lucas obviously thought that backflippin' Yoda was going to blow everyone's minds but everyone hated it. I remember endless bitching over that scene back when the film first hit cinemas. Edit: Yoda's lightsaber battle actually won the 2003 MTV Award for best fight (Lucasfilm has apparently scrubbed all the copies on youtube but you can find it on dodgy Russian video sites pretty easily) but pay close attention to Colin Farrell's expression and body language as they announce the winner.  Yoda's acceptance speech is also another example of the Star Wars writers trying to do something 'cool' and completely failing.

Flippy poo poo is fun to watch and all, but it never feels particularly clever in the films, it's missing something to make it swashbuckling, you know? Oh, I totally agree. I was just saying that it's dumb that Grevious came before Vader, they're essentially the same, yet Grevious is agile and Vader is crippled. I think Grevious would have been much cooler if he was basically a proto-vader.

When they say "forest moon of Endor," do they mean that the actual moon itself is named Endor? Or is the the planet it orbits called Endor, and there's also a beach moon of Endor, sponge moon of Endor?

It's more Jedi-like than maiming a random rear end in a top hat at a bar you could have easily mind controlled to calm down, especially since you'd assume being drunk makes you more susceptible to mental persuasion.

I swear there was some nonsense about Mace being like, a dark jedi or some nonsense, like more in tune with the dark side of the force but still being a good guy somehow. quote:"I created Vaapad to answer my weakness: it channels my own darkness into a weapon of the light." gently caress
