I enjoyed pretty much everything in the Saga, but there is one scene I don't like.

The Speeder Bike chase in RotJ. I've watched all 5 movies countless times, but this is the only part that bores me.

probably the whole tatooine segment in TPM, it just drags on and on, way too long...
I love the movie, dont get me wrong, but that part, I'm realy wondering why so many small parts of it are that blasted important to GL, maybe I find out after ROTS, who knows...

Tokio, could you tell me what were the small parts exactly? I also thought Tattoine dragged on too long...initially.

Lucas pays off the most elaborate setup in film history. He succeeds so completely that anybody who doesn't just love movies but the movies will find reason for celebration—with or without Ewoks.
"ROTS" rewards all of the exposition of I and II

1. Basically all the Gungans suck
2. The things that farts at the podrace
3. The announcer at the pod race
4. Any time Padme uses her decoys (how many times is this going to be used?)
5. Midichlorians (doesnt ruin the movie by itself but does make the Force feel more like Star Trek than Star Wars)
6. C-3P0's lame dialogue in the arena
7. The conveyor belt scene when it isn't focused on Anakin
8. Count Dooku (lame name, and why not just let Maul live and build up his character)
9. The new entrance to Mos Eisley, too kiddy.
10. The new face of the Emperor during the Holonet scene, why change a classic.
11. The new Sly Snoodles song. Just terrible.

I'd say Hayden at the end of ROTJ but I don't think anyone likes that.

I have to heartily disagree with you on points two and eight.

Openmind,

Moments like:

'We shall be robbed and crunshed! Not likely', we have nothing of value, that's our...'

'The queen doesn't need to know.. well i don't approve..'

And other little details...

It's funny even in the way it is shot..they walk, then they stop, and have these little dialogues, which are rather slow (all in all) if you ask me, and then they move on.

But I realise it is a difficult thing to point out, to put your finger on. It just feels very slow, it's the only part in all the 5 movies I get a bit tired...

But you seem to imply you've gathered a greater insight? Enlighten me! happy

Ps. did you notice how much emphasis is beeing laid on 'the storm'? Just noticed recently. Who knows how many more gems are beeing hidden, even within the parts written above!

when darth maul died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I know, I must learn control...)
and when darth Vader died, indeed, I would prefer Luke died too...only human beings died!!! Vader is more than a human being,no????
And of course, the battle Ewoks/Stormtroopers...why did stormtroopers didn't win versus stupids teddy bears?
and dialogs in the PT sucks...(I haven't learnt it by hearth, like for the OT)

Do novels and EU count also ? wink

The most irritating things to me are :

- he mention of "Jedi Scientists" in the ANH novel

- Jedi Master Fay in the Clone Wars comics. Several thousand years old and no Lightsabre at all.

THey are irritating from my point of view, because theyextend the Star WarsUniverse as we knowit into areas we wouldn't imagine, I think. Jedi Scientists ? I would've never thought that, because all we see are Warriors (except Yoda, maybe wink .

Character: Jar Jar Binks!!!!! That name brings a chill down my back. As many people said before, he was so useless and annoying.

Scenes: The romantic scenes in AOTC, were really bad. I was really really excited about how GL was going to star the love between Padme and Anaikin. The scenes were so tacky and poorly written. I was very dissapointed.

Nothing really irritates me in Star Wars. As much as I love these movies, they are still ONLY movies.

Midichlorians irritate me, but I hate Palpies death. I mean, most powerfull sith lord: thrown dow reactor shaft, while sub-par jedi (qui-gon) goes out guns a blazin'.

It wasn't the Ewoks as much as the time spent with the Ewoks. Those scene's seemed to take forever when I wanted to be back in that throan room with Luke and Vader.

Amen! applause I like the Ewoks and all, but the throne room scene is my fave in all of SW, and I wanted to be back there! Lol!

But by far, the most annoying scene is the "Jedi Rocks" music video. I was like, Oh Force! Lucas, what were you thinking putting that in there! That's totally not Star Wars at all! It's just stupid! Not to mention the name. Why in Jabba's Palace, when the Jedi were supposedly extinct or something, would they be singing that? But yeah, that scene made me cringe.

I can't breathe! (although it still makes me giggle like a schoolgirl) Also, when Shmi dies and her head thrusts back. That was the only non-funny moment in any SW film where everybody in the theatre laughed hilariously.
