"Actually, ILM has been using CGI explosions since AOTC. Pyrotechnics are very rare in Star Wars now."

I think what the guy meant is that the generally use real stock footage of explosions in CGI.

"Perhaps George Lucas should have copied the methods of Peter Jackson in order to make the otherworldly corruption of Anakin's soul more obvious to those who can't fill in the lines without slow-motion close-ups and pounding heart-beat sound effects"

But the PT isn't about defeating villains. It's about how Anakin Skywalker becomes one.

Evil isn't defeated in the PT. It wins.

"...they're the ones who love lame lines like 'Rise Lord Vader' even though Vader is strapped down...."

I think you've made a silly point here. It is a good line. You've obviously interpreted this line literally, as in 'Lord Vader, get up' or 'Lord Vader, stop lying down'. We're talking about the birth of an iconic villain here, so I think 'Lord Vader...rise' is quite an appropriate, effective and portentous statement.


I think the preview was misleading. Like for the preview for TPM, we hear Yoda saying, "two there is. A master and an apprentice" and we see Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. But in the movie we see Yoda was really talking about the Sith. So for RotS proably Vader gets hit by a speeder and Palpatine was telling him to rise his lazy @ss up laugh . So what we hear has nothing to do with the actual scene.

I read about 30 different reviews from newspapers from the U.S. and one thing that bottered me was how the reviewers would give an A+, A, A-, a B+ or else 3 or 4 out of 4 stars to the movie but all the reviewer did was complain about how corny the dialouge was or the wooden acting, etc. It was hypocritical that they didn't have anything good to say (except either they liked Lee or the Dooku and Yoda fight) but they give a high score. Only one reviewer gave it a C.
