Episode 3 Sucks Sith. I mean, it sucks shit.

May 29th, 2005

Yeah, you heard me right. Episode 3 sucks, and I regretted it. Here I compile a list as to why I concluded so.

- You get a grunt [non-hero] pilot who doesn’t panic when his fighter craft [whatever it is] swarmed by those little droids.
- You get droids that go ‘Ahh, run!!’ when the Jedi start swinging their sabers and go ‘Ouch, that hurts’ when they get an arm cut off.
-Darth Tyranus isn’t so keen on swinging his lightsaber, and thats how he lost to Anakin [come on, you already know Anakin kils the old fart].
- And what happened to the lightsaber that he used in Episode 2? The one with the curved hilt?
- R2-D2 can defeat battle droids.
- One lightsaber wins against four.
- A Jedi’s clothes dries up so fast.
- Yoda talks too much for his own good. He’s supposed to be enigmatic, speaking as little as possible. “Into hiding I will go.” Yeah, do that, you green gremlin. And to think I was all over you back in Episode 2. You failed me.
- When you turn to the dark side, you get a temporary yellow sharingan.
- Abuse of the Force. Come on, you’re fighting on a river of LAVA, and you perfectly land on that little floating miner droid? And still fight?
- Not a single drop of blood was spilled [episode 2 had some blood].
- A jedi master who can’t defend himself from blaster shots. Not a youngling, not a padawan, not a knight. A MASTER. Goddamit, live up to your title lah!
- Horrible, horrible script
- Vader reluctantly screaming ‘NOOOOO’ at the end.
- Wearing boots on a volcanic planet and your boots don’t melt? Wow, the Force sure is strong in those boots.

At least Mace Windu’s fight was a good one. I still think Episode 2 is the best.

note: I have updated my anime list up to this month. I have burnt a lot of DVDs the past few weeks :) You can see it under the ‘Favourites’ category.

Was about to blog about this when I came across yours. Lemme add on,
- Stony acting
- unbelievably fast turnover to the dark side by Anakin

I’m pretty sure that the droid bit (point 2) was done to inject some comedy into the routine

As for the quick killing of the jedi bits, I attribute that to the lack of time. And too much lightsabre action does get boring.

kenneth: Fast? I believe that a period of several months passed during the length of the film. hint: belly size.

Best is still the old episode 4,5 and 6.
