Yeah - I didn't expect that they would actually do it -- they're not touching my Yoda though.

I laugh at the penis head guy next to billy dee williams all the time when I watch that movie, yet as an after thought i'm always shaken by the perversions of creating the alien shaped with a penis head, now wonder if they create one shaped into a women's.....

why is it that Harrison Ford and Warwick Davis are the only star wars actors whove had careers since ROTJ?
Youd think theyd all be star-stuff after making something that popular.

Carrie Fisher was more of a producer after that. She should have won an award for the first one, for doing as well as she did on all that acid.

Mark Hamill went on to do the voice for The Joker in the Batman cartoons. Which was cool. Oh, and he did all that Wing commander stuff. Which wasn't.

I met Warwick Davis. Nice guy.

luke couldn't get another job offer that wasn't playing himself. i mean, playing luke. remember when he did that sci fi crap, the giver? that was him, right? that scared me as a kid. and he did the voice for joker, as someone pointed out already. his face got mangled, after star wars, so he kind of lost some of his boyish good looks n shit.

If you played PC games in the mid-90s, you may recall Hamill did the voice of Detective Mosley in Gabriel Knight.

On ebay I am bidding on a set of the original VHS movies with THX sound but no extra scenes. And the old fantastic Ewoks song that he later changed at the end of Jedi.

I read that somebody had suggested the way to do Anakin's turn was this:

If he's a child in slavery, then make the slavery very real and constrictive. The child we see might've been property, but he was no slave.

Then, he's scooped up by the Jedi and thinks he's signed on for a great life and now gets to be really free, etc. But, as the training goes along, he finds it's also really, really constrictive -- don't do this, don't do that, don't submit to anger, don't fall in love, be self-controlled, etc. And he reads this as just another kind of slavery, and he's starting to boil.

By then, what Palpatine offers him is a false sense of release -- that he can fully be his own man without restriction; in fact, with a power greater than the Jedi would ever allow him to have.

And that's his temptation and the delusion: that the dark side frees raher than enslaves. And he bites the apple, and it tastes good to have that kind of power, etc.

just saw it. i was impressed--i only laughed out loud three times: padme's dialogue with anakin; anakin's dialogue with padme; anakin-cum-frankenstein's monster screaming "noooooooooo!!!!!!". other than those three scenes, the rest was either: 1--expected; 2: bearable; C: excellent.

yeah, old ben kanobi was fawesome, and i was actually disappointed a bit in senator palpadine, because everyone's been talking up his performance. another issue i had with the movie had to do with the editing--really quick cuts for brief bad character reactions.

the bounty hunter? you mean boba fett? because it was his dad, jango fett, that the clones were cloned from.

well, the leader of the army takes his helmet off and resembles jango. maybe the same actor. so maybe its bobba, grown up looking for revenge on jedi's? then between III and IV he leaves the army and becomes the bounty hunter.......don't the clone uniforms look like bobba's beat up armor from the later original movies?

I was wondering, did James Earl Jones voice Vadar in the end of the movie like he did in the first 3 (4-6)?
