Author	Topic: Misconceptions about AOTC
Darth-Vengence Registered: Aug '02	Date Posted: 12/31/02 8:09pm Subject: Misconceptions about AOTC
	When I first saw AOTC in theaters, I thought that at the end, instead of Count Dooku saying "The war has begun" I thought he said "The boy has begun' Whoh! I thought he was talking about Anakin and that he had began his journey toward the dark side. Any others? -----signature----- "Only in America, can you be born a black man and grow up to be a white woman!" In reference to Michael Jackson, of course.

	Yes. In reference to the title to the thread. Its a BIG misconception that AOTC is a great SW movie. -----signature----- "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." -Yoda TPM "May the Force Be with You." "One Nation Under GOD." "I want to come with you to Alderaan and become a Jedi like my father." "I am a Jedi. Like my father before me."

	It's a misconception that even the best SW movie to date would please everyone. -----signature----- Final Ranking: ROTS, ESB, AOTC, ANH, TPM, ROTJ

	Yes. In reference to the title to the thread. Its a BIG misconception that AOTC is a great SW movie. Oh, yeah, we didn't see that comment coming.

	Not meaning to hijack this thread but I want to address something to my friend Durwood. For 3 years I defended TPM and what amazed me is that in the year plus that I've been in the JC its been against my fellow JCers. I thought that if I could go anywhere and discuss TPM it would be here. But everywhere I went I was labeled a gusher even when I agreed with some of the negative comments. I have never seen a TPM thread that hasn't had basher comments. Getting back to AOTC. It truly is my least favorite of the SW Saga. The Tusken Slaughter and Yoda vs. Dooku, as well as the soundtrack were the saving graces of AOTC. Other than that it was very weak and no where near the caliber of any of the OT nor TPM. What amazes me is to this day there are still negative threads on TPM that no one does anything about but the first bad comment on AOTC and your shunned. AOTC is not the Holy Grail of SW. I'm glad that some people think its great and I really don't mean to take that away. On the other hand I don't think it's fair to have a double standard when TPM has taken a beating for so long. -----signature----- "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." -Yoda TPM "May the Force Be with You." "One Nation Under GOD." "I want to come with you to Alderaan and become a Jedi like my father." "I am a Jedi. Like my father before me."

	It's fine that you have your opinion about Attack Of The Clones, and I don't mind that people share such opinions. However, it does get annoying when people choose to post their negative opinions in threads where such an opinion does not belong, especially when such comments are snide and condescending. The purpose of this thread was innocent enough. The originator wanted to know what misconceptions people had about Attack Of The Clones and provided an example to get the ball rolling. To come in and say, "It's a misconception that it's a good movie" is not the most constructive comment in the best of circumstances, but I'm sure you can appreciate that such a comment is wholly out of place in this thread. As for my initial response, when I saw the title of this thread, I knew for a fact that it would be just a matter of time before some "clever" individual with too much time on their hands would use it as yet another opportunity to spread their negativity about a film they happened to not like despite the fact that doing so could be considered completely off topic. Now, in a desperate attempt to at least post something on topic, yes, I originally heard "The boy has begun." It's just that Christopher Lee says, "The 'wah' has begun" and it does sound sort of like boy. Another misconception, I had always assumed that the clones would be the bad guys, but it's a further misconception that they're the good guys. They actually have no loyalties and just do what they're told by whoever happens to be in charge! -----signature----- "[STAR WARS fans] all have very strong ideas about what should happen, and they think it should be their way.

	Well I for one thought Yoda was saying "Begun this cold war has." as in the battle over the dark side. Pretty stupid when I thought about it though. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYBODY!

	I thought it was the boy has begun, too. I uh, didn't realize it wasn't until several uh, months down the line. >_< -----signature----- Idealism is what precedes experience; cynicism is what follows.

	I was convined I heard that line as well, refering to Anakin. Surely the Lucas Police had to swap it out of all the theaters it mistakenly shipped that reel to for the midnight shows before the theaters reopened the next day. -----signature----- This is Outrageous!!!

	I had subtitles the first time I watched it, so I never had any misconception of that sort. However, I did believe that the Tyranus - Sidious scene took place at dusk

	Until I played Jedi Starfighter, I thought the clones were already bad. I started bombing them, and then "Mission Failed" and hearing people over the intercom calling me a traitor. -----signature----- I steal candy from babies to prevent childhood obesity.

	I also thought he said "the boy has begun." Odd that we all heard it that way.
