"If you have warriors, the time is now."

Um...yeah. So I take it that the Utapauians didn't have soldiers then? Or they did and decided to let Obi-wan and the troopers do all the fighting?

 

They were fighting all-right. There were a few of them spotted during the heat of battle, but the movie didn't focus on them at all. There were more pressing matters going on at the time.

 

good question actually.if they had any warriors i certainly hadnt notice so far

 

Like the sentence said, ""If you have warriors, the time is now." IF they had warriors, THEN they would have been fighting. IF they had none, THEN they wouldnt be.

 

"Is he bringing additional warriors?"
"He didn't say."

I love those lines.

 

Yeah, that last exchange is definitely hilarious.

 

At least one Utapau warrior can be seen riding on the back of a dactillion during battle on Utapau.

But I must admit I wish there were more of them.

Maybe some of them were planned but deleted, cause I remember that before ROTS release Hidalgo had written (on the OS) that Tion people would be involved in a major battle.

 

I think Roland was right with the focus was not on the Utapaun warriors, although cool the planet was and stuff, if tere were a focus more on those warriors, you'd have the other side of the deabte getting their panties in a bunch. Saying stuff like they showed to many utapaun warrios. Gotta love Star Wars fans!

 

I'm not saying that they be the focus of the battle, what I'm saying is that they could of at least made it obvious that they were at least there! I mean would it have killed them to see the Utapau warriors fighting alongside the clone troopers? I mean aside from that screenshot provided by a previous poster, what other evidence was there that the Utapauian warriors even contributed to the battle?

 

Well there is the action figure as well.

According to the novelization there was a huge battle with the Utaupauns riding dragons (as the still shows) but not much of that seems to have made the film. It could be that there was already too much action with the Clonetroopers and various Battledroids, or it could be that such a fight would have looked too Middle Earth and not enough SW.

 

Yes, exactly. Like we had Wookies fighting alongside clones on Kashyyyk in the same film.
I would be glad seeing Utapauns shown in similar way (although maybe even smaller scale would be enough). Especially that - judging from the promo picture - they might look quite .

 

Yeah me too!
It amuses me, though it's probably not supposed to be funny!

 

BTW..its "now is the time"

 

I'm sure it's meant to be funny. I love the line as well.

 

"If you have The Warriors, then now's the time!"

"General Grievous, come out and play!"
"General Grievous, come out and play!!"
"General Grievous, come out and play!!!"

 

"He didn't say."

That actually got a few laughs in the theaters, anyone hear laughs for that?

 

I heard laughs all three times. I think it is supposed to be funny.

Like "He didn't say" = "I hope not but apparently that nut thinks he can do this by himself."

 

Oh, it was most definitely supposed to be funny. And it most definitely was.

 

You say potato and I say potatoe, my friend.

 

LOL, I was wondering when someone would do this.

 

There were Utapauan warriors on Veractyl (sp?) lizards in the background of some shots.

Caaan yoooou dig it?

 

Too bad we didn't get some closeups of them fighting the droids. They are some of the coolest-looking characters in the PT.

 

Dude's need some Botox.
