I love the logic behind this scene.. at the military base they managed to corral a lion or some shit into a bathroom and instead of doing anything about it, they just put a sign on the door that says, "Dont Enter: Lion"

There, fixed!

How these idiot rebels managed to defeat a clone army is beyond me.
I'm late to the party on this one, but damn that's some three stooges shit. Fucking hilarious.

My thoughts on revenge of the sith are:

1. Overall good movie. It tops the 6 made by GL for sure.

2. Horrible dialog. The dialog in the movie made it so that I said in my first comment "good movie" instead of 'best movie ever'.

3. Should have shown the actual temple take down (no killing of children though). I wanted to see Darth Vader OWN the Jedi knights and masters who stood in his way. Yes, there were....1 or 2 masters/knights that actually escaped, but otherwise he dispatched them without issue. GL removed that because he is a capital douchebag.

4. It was the first movie to display Obi-wan in a manner where he actually could use a lightsaber in an effective way. In my personal opinion, Obi is a decent knight/master. He proved in the cartoons and in the movies to be weak and barely winning or getting saved by Anakin on multiple occasions. Suddenly GL wanted to show that he was just as powerful as Anakin and to be honest, he never was....but GL and his stupidity made that happen out of no where.

"Look guys, we're going to shoot this scene that George came up with last night real quick"

The gif really shows the trail of breadcrumbs that would one day become the phantom menace, began all the way back then heh

The black guy actually appears to be a jedi - I just watched the trailer again and at one point he is battling the new bad guy and he has a blue light saber....so he is a descendant of Mace Wendu? Or maybe he is just a new character all together.

And @ Iruinedyourday - I cant agree more on the "show me" aspect of some of the battles. I honest to god wish they would make a Starwars that is super hardcore/badass, but they make so much money off it being kid friendly, probably wont ever happen. I cant believe they have not made a series about Yoda training 9000 years ago, show all the f#cked up stuff that turned him into the stone statue of jedi perfection. That sh!t doesn't happen over night, it takes some raw physical/emotional damage to strip you into being incapable of love (as the jedi prefer).

George Lucas was a complete and utter hack. The only reason the original trilogy were passable movies is because his input was filtered through a gauntlet of studio execs and associate producers who had veto power. Even as early as Return of the Jedi (Ewoks), Lucas's hackishness begins to bubble to the surface as the success of his franchise gave him greater creative control. Then fast forward to the new trilogy and the buck stops with Lucas. The result? Jar Jar Binks and three terrible, terrible films that just manage to coast on the power of their IP. It gives me a lot of hope for the quality of these movies knowing they've taken it away from George Lucas.

Whooooooooooo Adam Driver killing it, his posture, his non-verbal body language. Can't fucking wait.

Black stormtrooper is meant to empower people.

These movies are iconic and touch millions of American lives, so yes it is propaganda in a way but black youth need good role models.

I agree with Big J's point about it being forced, but disagree that America does not need a strong moral black icon that black youth can follow in their own lives.

This X100. The Making of Episode 1,2,3 showed Lucas had complete control of storyline discussions. Not even a writers-room, Lucas was even writing the dialogue. The worst part? Lucas did the editing himself. He had final say on final cut, and was seen making shit decisions in post-production. I feel bad for him. Selling creative rights and the IP to Disney was admitting the IP is bigger than him and he created something he cannot maintain.

This movie looks to be everything an epic relevant Star Wars movie in 2015 should be and will blow the Prequels out of the water.

No, its not going to rewind the clock to the late 70's and early 80's. And nobody cares.

am I the only nerd who doesn't mind Ep. 1-3? There were enough memorable things about those movies that really made me look past all the jarjar-type stuff.

The pod racing scene was unexpected and awesome.
Darth maul was the first legit bad guy who could actually move and be a believable threat to two Jedi.
The battles were epic in both scale and action.
The Genosis battle specifically sticks out when all the Jedi show up.
Lots of good fights in general. 2 yoda fights, Grievus, ect.
I really enjoyed the last battle between Anakin and Obi. It was cool to see Obi-wan not give up on Anakin until the last possible second.

Dunno, I really feel those movies were more good than bad. There was definitely some awkwards things like the love connection between Anakin and that hoe. Also how quick he became evil was kinda silly. I mean he goes 0 to 60 in a way. I still can't believe he killed those younglings lol. I guess that's how you get the audience to know, this mutha fucka is for real.

I love how you mention all these things except the acting, because I an agree with you.

To me, Episode 1 was the BEST out of all the series. Best acting out of all of them, best fight scene, and my favorite Sith.
