At the point in the movie where you get to see the skills of Yoda..... When he arrived, everyone in the theatre cheered. It was cool. Things looked very dire for our other heroes. When Yoda pulled out his light sabre, the place went nuts.[:D]

Which weapon would Yoda carry (after the Gov't bans and confiscates his "light-saber")an AK or AR variant? This is for all of you that miss the Jesus Christ carry thread.

Yoda carries the movie much more than even the real live actors. Yoda shows Compassion Strategic thinking Generalship Resourcefulness Almost a little anger. and some kick butt light sabre skills. |

Boba Fett reminded me of the bully's toady from A Christmas Story.
Jango: Boba: Heh heh heh...heh heh heh... I also have to wonder something about the fact that Jango whacked his head on the way into Slave 1. Anyone think that this was a tribute to the blooper scene in Star Wars where the Stormtrooper (a clone of Jango remember) did the same thing? Perhaps it was an inside joke. |

Had a run in with [b]Darth Maul[/b] and his girl friend at the will-call ticket machine just inside the movie house. Here is Sinistralriflefags show-down with the Evil Jedi:
[b]Darth Moron:[/b] Wow, hey what’s that? (Points at Glock 21 on SR’s belt) [b]SinistralRifleman:[/b] That’s a real gun [b]Darth Moron:[/b] Can you have that in here? [b]SinistralRifleman:[/b] Yes. [b]Space Slut:[/b] Is that legal? [b]SinistralRifleman:[/b] Yes it is. [b]Space Slut:[/b] Are you guys like cops or the military or… [b]SinistralRifleman:[/b] Nope. [b]Garryowen:[/b] We’re just concerned citizens like yourselves. [b]Darth Moron:[/b] They uh like made me check my light saber at the door and its made of wood, and they’re like letting you have a real gun in here? (Visibly upset and flustered even through his hard core Darth Maul make up, that was flaking off all over the place) [b]SinistralRifleman:[/b] yeah I guess so. The young nerdlings walked off in a confused and bewildered state to the concession stand to get some sour patch kids and Coca-Cola to enhance their “force powers”, while we all just laughed at them. We proceed to wander through the new AMC "Giga-Plex" looking for our assigned theater, pass the manager (2x) and pass 2 different cops whoring themselves out for security... Later we saw Darth Moron in the theatre again after we were seated… [b]SinistralRifleman:[/b] (pulls out surefire 6z and shines it in Darth Moron’s face) hey I got you with my light-saber. [b]Darth Moron:[/b] Huh…Hey were you the guy with the gun? [b]SinistralRifleman:[/b] yes, that’s me [b]Darth Moron:[/b] uh like the cops and the manager are looking for you, they uh say they have to check your gun and stuff and then you can go back to watch the movie. That’s what they did with my light-saber. [b]Garryowen:[/b] Leaving a piece of wood is not the same thing as handing a real gun over to some minimum wage stranger. [b]SinistralRifleman:[/b] If the police want to talk to me they can come find me themselves. [b]Darth Moron:[/b] uh duh uhm…(walks off) I really liked the movie, and thought Yoda [b]ROCKED![/b] and I especially like Natalie Portman's nipples in the white top (no bra, thank the force!) during the battle portion at. What would have made the movie better would have been more female Jedi Knights fighting Topless, killing more stuff and they should have had more things catch fire. |

It was good, but not great.
*Less Jar Jar. This is good. I'm looking forward to Episode 3, when Anakin goes to the Dark Side and starts wearing a necklace strung with Jar Jar's ears. *Natalie Portman is nice eye candy. Liked the midriff-baring outfit. Not as good as Carrie Fischer's slave bikini, but still tasty. *Good SFX on the asteroids. Much improved over Empire. *Decent story telling. Lucas in the last couple films was seduced by the dark side; since he owns the toy rights for the series, he has incentives to show stuff intended for the kids, then sell it at Toys R Us. Thus we got Ewoks. He kept that in check this time. *Good battle scenes between the droids and the clones and Jedi. *I didn't think the light saber battles were up to the standard of the Darth Maul climactic fight scene of the last movie. Best.Lightsaber.Battle.Ever. *Hayden Christianson was a bit awkward. He was too much of a teenage punk, and his dark side wasn't entirely convincing. *They really need a swashbuckling Han Solo character. Han Solo is, from an objective viewpoint, the greatest character ever. I'd rate the series as follows: 1. Empire 2. Star Wars 3. Clone Wars 4. Jedi 5. Phantom |

Someone else mentioned that in another forum and I wonder if since he's supposed to have a lot of the force within him maybe he used the force to do all the stuff in the movie...doesn't do it a lot since it can tire you... Haven't seen the movie but I did kind of think it was funny hearing how he was like an awesome fighter...however my buddy told me he read in a comic adaptation what happened. Didnt think of the cane until recently. |

DScottHewitt....Jeesh, next your going to tell me to remove the M-60 from the top of the Hummer...
What should we have done? Not open carry in a state that it's legal in? I'm sorry if you lost the fight where you live, but we are still more or less free over here. How are you supposed to respond to a 15 year old dressed like its Halloween? Should we have launched into a deep debate over the second amendment with him? I would have liked to kick him in the nuts and made him cry in front of his girl, but my wife wouldn’t let me (she is such a wet blanket). Actually since I am so good looking and cool, Woman want me and Men want to be me, so no matter how I act, it’s good for the cause.[;)] |

The beginning of this movie was a bit of groaner-yikes Yoda was the best actor of the bunch. But the last reel MORE than makes up for it-it was great. Yoda's fight scene was amazing-well choreographed and amusing.
I guess I gotta get out more-I have never seen anyone open carry, even in states where it is allowed (which sure ain't this one). I don't think I would anyway, seems like a bad idea to advertise that you are armed. I'd rather people didn't know I had a pistol until I drew it. I am a little surprised that you wouldn't get chucked out of a lot of places for doing that-must be some cultural differences from beautiful New York. Anyway Yoda saved that movie, worth seeing for the end 1/3 even if you aren't a big Star Wars fan. |

Good movie, kinda depressing though to know that in episode III there is likely going to be even more heartbreak for Anakin. That's my take on it really, great movie and all but it was a bit dark and I'm betting Episode III will be even darker. After all we do know what is going to happen or events that need to take place inorder for it to tie in with Episode IV.
That said, I thought I spied some "THO"(titty hard on) with Senator OHMYGOLLY! in that scene that was mentioned earlier. Though I've heard reports of her being caught topless on some european beach, something for you internet surfers to check into I'm sure. |

I am a little surprised that you wouldn't get chucked out of a lot of places for doing that-must be some cultural differences from beautiful New York. Open carry has declined in AZ considerably since the introduction of CCW permits...legally there is no benfit to the places you can carry with a CCW vs open...which is one of the reasons why I think CCW permits here are a stupid idea. I wish more people would open carry, it gives you the chance to "witness" to people and normalize the idea of the armed citizen in the minds of other people...I get far more positive comments and honest questions from people than the stupid comments like I got from that kid. Exercise your rights or lose them; We have the right to open carry in AZ, but if it is not exercised because of fear of what people will think, possibly offending someone, or getting thrown out of somewhere, is it really a right? |

Sorry if I seemed too harsh. Just wondering if there might have been better ways to make an impression on the kid. Maybe without shining the flashlight in his face during the movie? We have open carry in Virginia. Thanks to our state senators and reps, and Mark Warner, even in the five localities that used to have laws against it. Do I open carry and advertise I am ready to protect my family? No. That is my personal choice. I apologise for taking this thread off topic. Did y'all enjoy the movie? I did.

I ruined the movie for myself by getting the book on tape for a long road trip last week. And as usual, books always have considerably more detail in the story line than the movies. But I'll admit...Yoda did kick ass.
And I wonder...Did Mace's light sabre have "Bad MuthaFu**a" inscribed on it? [:D] Oh yeah, The new Matrix trailer, in my mind, was worth the price of admission. |

Since R2D2 and C3PO were at the moisture farm in Episode II, why don't they remember being there before in episode IV? Also, I'm confused. Wasn't the Fett guy helping the large people make clones? Then all of a sudden he is over being nice with the droid army? And, it appears the clone army becomes the Empire army? Confused. [:D] |

I guess it keeps them bug-free. The clones later on will be known as stormtroopers. This is why they are so loyal to the Empire. I doubt that in the movies they will mention COMPNOR, i cant remember what it stands for, but it is similiar to the Hitler youth programs of Germany that take in youths of the Republic and indoctrinates them loyalty and service to the Empire. There is a military aspect of COMPNOR as well that is similiar in funtion as the SS. Considered to be more elite then the Stormtroopers.-i miss the old West End Games RPG days. Senator Palpatine rises to power in a similiar fashion to Adolf. libtrooper |

Here is a snippet. See the link for the rest. It is pretty funny.
STAR WARS RETURNS today with its fifth installment, "Attack of the Clones." There will be talk of the Force and the Dark Side and the epic morality of George Lucas's series. But the truth is that from the beginning, Lucas confused the good guys with the bad. The deep lesson of Star Wars is that the Empire is good.
