	I thought it was done well and effective.

	Bristol has a large dock worker population, doesn't it? Maybe they're a little more jaded? I'm just guessing, please don't take offense. I love England.

	Nothing is wrong with this film. Nothing major at least. After my second viewing it may become infallibale like ESB. -----signature----- "You were fantastic. We're free!" "Kara, we're inside a Russian airbase in the middle of Afghanistan."

	ROTS was a great movie. The scene with the younglings did catch me off guard though. Especialy when one of them asked 'master anakin' for guidence. But i think that scene was nessacery to ilustrate how far anakin had fallen. As far as i can tell the younglings death was not actualy shown.. only before (during the fight. the end of the fight is not shown, only implied) and after shots (Yoda and Obi's return to the temple). The above scene along with Padme's funderal was among the saddest and most powerful scenes in the whole saga... it realy brought home the trajedy of Anakin Skywalker's life. -----signature----- Anakin(alive)/Tahiri(not-half-vong) 4EVA!!!!!

	It was very disturbing and really borught home how evil Vader had become and also how committed to the dark side he was (after that scene, your REALLY convinced of what he has become). It needed to be in there and it was done as best as it could be done.

	It needed to be in there and it was done as best as it could be done. I agree. to dilute that scene more would have rendered it useless and altered the feel of the whole movie (which is intensionaly dark... you can have a dark movie wihtout dark scenes.) And yes it was very disturbing... it was one of those scenes that make u want to cringe in horror. -----signature----- Anakin(alive)/Tahiri(not-half-vong) 4EVA!!!!! Proud member of the F.A.D.A.

	I haven't seen the movie yet but I would disagree with those that having Anakin kill the Younglings was necessary in order to show how evil he had become. This is sloppy logic in my opinion. Killing fellow Jedi would indicate he was evil. Trying to kill Obi-wan Kenobi, his best friend, would indicate evil. Strangling his pregnant wife would hopefully be sufficient to indicate evil. It wasn't necessary at all. So the question I ask is why Lucas felt the need for overkill? -----signature----- Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.--- G.

	If I heard a youngling deliver a line as badly as that kid did, I'd strike him down with a lightsaber too -----signature----- They are not "songs", they are "tracks" or "cues" ROTJ - "It has a nice mix of muppets and patricide that you don't see very often" - Darthboba Everybody knows that the bird is the word!

	Its one thing to know he is evil (from an interlectual point of view) its another to realy feel it and understand it from an emosional point of view. watching anakin kill his fellow jedi would demonstrate that hes evil but the younglings slaughter pushed the emosional buttons to make the viewer realise what a revolting personlity anakin had turned into. -----signature----- Anakin(alive)/Tahiri(not-half-vong) 4EVA!!!!!

	Again, I think this is quite well accomplished with his treatment of Padme at the end of the movie. It also might serve the story better as at this point after his casual slaughter of children it should hardly be a shock that he nearly kills his wife. If he hadn't been shown as directly responsible for their deaths it would be a large surprise at the depths he would stoop too, and the audience would know then that Obi-wan would have to take Anakin down. Now this I fear will feel like an anti-climax. -----signature----- Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.--- G.

	i just see the movie...i feel numb...like a train passed over me...i don't think hit me yet...soo incredible... this scene goes so clean, just implied what happens, not really much ..."graphic" still, disturbing...but was really clean played. as for the meaning of the killing, this have to happen. should to happen, and GL played this scene clean and simple, not much gore. Jett Lucas...wow..so heroic..

	I have just seen the film, and the younglings scene was WORSE than I actually thought it would be. That was totally uncalled for, I cannot believe that man had the nerve to put that in there. And then to have them innocently speak to Anakin? I couldn't watch, I thought I was going to be sick. And yes, there are HEAVY closeups of their lifeless bodies on the floor. I am never ever going to watch that film again and I hope people boycott it. That whole scene needs to be cut. Argue all you want, I don't care for those who are in support of it, and quite frankly you disgust me along with GL. -----signature----- ~Reyla~

	I think the scene was well done. People keep complaining that it might be too graphic or disgusting. But the look on Vaders face...it was almost regret about what he was going to do. The Tusken slaughter was worse when it comes to violence and murdering. And that was all of 5 seconds. -----signature----- I will not deny anything I did not say-Brian Mulroney Well if it be so, than so be it.
