The books (and comics) lost me at teh Vosh Yong (sp?)

My son loves the movies and has tons of the GALACTIC HERO action figures and ships...he believes that the internet is only used to find new GH and LegoSW toys.

That said...Empire>New Hope>Return>Revenge>Clones....................................>Phantom

And didn't Lucas spend like 15 months casting the first movie in the 70s? I would love to see who all audtioned for the prequels and just how the hellboth Anakin's were cast.

Not PT auditions, but how crazy would it have been if Kurt Russell was Han Solo?

�� I can't picture anybody besides Harrison Ford being him

Mace Windu did NOT defeat Palpatine in any way. Palpatine knew Anakin would come back so he let Windu kick his @#$ to gain Anakin's support.

I never had a problem with Hayden Christensen - I just thougt he was let down by crap writing.

 

[Sinner]

^ Yep, I agree. My problem wasn't the casting... it was the writing/script...

 

[mangudai954]

If you own a PC or Xbox and haven't already I highly recommend playing KOTOR. Its easily one of the best games ive ever played.

Looked like Palpatine was trying to me.

How was Palpatine suppose to know Anakin was going to come or not?

i think someone with advanced jedi skills can foresee future events to some extent

Yeah, I doubt he could've beat Mace in a lightsaber duel, but he knew he was in Anakin's head and was counting on him to "help" him in someway

No one's touching Mace in a duel besides Qui Gon. Palpatine would have been destroyed easily if he went straight on with Mace. He had to have known at thatpoint Anakin was wrapped around his finger.

I know it's about 10 years too lately but for those who are willing to sit through a 70 minute review...DEFINITELY watch this review of the phantom menaceand while it was a steaming pile of poo. Very funny and sooo insightfully true!

Palpatine had to try, Windu is the greatest Jedi Swordsman and even invented a sixth style of lightsabe fighting. basically what this book is about.

basically these crazy aliens come into the galaxy and start murking on the newly formed Galactic Alliance, the first fight is at a planet called Serpindal andthe invaders crash a moon into the planet, and chewie sacrifices himself to save the solo's kid.

nah, people just sleep on it b/c Ashoka(Anakin's padawan) turns alot of people off on the show. I don't necessarily care about the character, butbesides her, the show's good.

 

[stackjaxx]

Those 5 minute shorts that were on Cartoon Network like six years back were hella better.


not feelin that digital crap.

 

[sid nasty]

back when i was grounded in high school all i did was get into star wars. i read shatterpoint, thrawn series, survivors quest. this threads making me wanna goback, but i dont think spending all my free time in college reading star wars books is a good look.
