[hr][/blockquote]

he is a cool little padawan that got to kick some bad guy butt before he died.

 

I think Zett was a very cool bit character, who had a nice bit role in ROTS that has endeared him to the fans like Kit Fitso's smile endeared him to the fans when AOTC came out.

Honestly, I don't mean to point fingers here but I think in general people who don't like the cameos of Lucas' children, or Rick's kids, etc. are just jealous. I know I am, I wish I had a small part in the making of the Star Wars films, even if it was just wearing an alien mask on my head in some uncredited crowd shot role.

 

Zett was awesome! Especially for a kid. He seemed in finer tune with the force than the other padawans. How else would he survive as long as he did?

 

You may be right. I have only seen the movie once but when they say its time for him to leave i think there gonna shoot him.

They are already starting to turn around to go back into the temple when Zett comes flying in. They fire 1 shot at Bail AFTER Zett is killed, but one of the Troopers says "Don't worry about him, let him go" as he is speeding off.

They had no intentions on Killing Bail at all in that scene, it was just a tool to show why Bail was so insturmental in the formation of the Rebellion. Seeing the Troopers cutting down a kid like that had to be sickening! Glad the kid went down swinging!

It has nothing to do with that,And Rick's kid was done perfectly.
The problem was, all of the jedi masters died like tools, not because they were surprised (any jedi should have been able to sense something was up, at least the ones not flying).
Any of them deserved a much better death than Lucas brat.
Not only that but it was also another example of quite a few fluff scenes taking time where other things should have been covered.
Mon Mothma and the seeds of the rebellion deserved at least a moment or two but it was cut along with other things so that we can have garbage scenes in.

Then you have people talking about how in tune he was with the force or how he saved Bail's life and various other things?
Dont get me wrong, I think it was a nice thing to do as a father but the story really could have used a boost elsewhere.

 

This Kid is now one of my new favorite characters in the whole Star Wars Saga.

He kicked Clone butt untill he died

 

It was a very improtant scene. it dramatised just how far the Sith were willing to go and just how serious things are becoming. i mean the Sith could just "re-educate" the children if they wanted, and add them to the Empire, but it was Genocide.

 

Order 66 was used to wipe out the jedi.

Palps knew that if he left the younglings alive they could possibly turn against him and cause problems.

And Zett proved that he wasn't going to let evil win so easily by going down fighting

 

Hmmm,

Well I don't really think there were many "filler" scenes put into the film, I think pretty much everything that was there had to be there. It's a shame that they had to leave out the Padme forming the Rebellion scenes, but then again one of the big complaints about the prequels have been that they are way too political, and political=boring. At least, that's what I get from reviewers like Bill Muller and Roger Ebert. Still, I personally would have liked to have seen these scenes.

I think the scene was a good scene in that it showed Bail just exactly what was going on there. I mean, I'm sure he could have "learned" about it later but it was better to actually show it then to just talk about it. I think witnessing this incident strengthened Bail's resolve to form the Rebellion with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the newly formed Empire, an Empire which ruthlessly killed innocent children. If Bail hadn't seen the Jedi Purge personally, the only ones who would have known the truth about it would have been Yoda and Obi Wan, and everyone else would have been forcefed Palpatine's version of events. I'm sure Bail still would have seen through Palpatine's lies eventually, but I think having this scene in the film is a better scene where Obi Wan and Yoda tell Bail the truth after the fact. Indeed, doesn't Bail only go looking for Yoda after Bail has witnessed the killing at the Jedi temple?

 

Sorry, but as far as plot points go, this scene is VERY relevant to what happens next in THIS MOVIE - far more relevant than the beginnings of the Rebellion. Had Bail not ascertained just what was going on at the temple by seeing Zett gunned down, he certainly wouldn not have been TAKING OFF from Coruscant during his next scene seeking out Jedi that might have survived an attack. Notice that when Bail asks what is going on, the Clone Commander only responds, "There's been a rebellion." He doesn't insinuate that the Jedi are the "rebellion" itself that the clonetroopers are gunning down. For all Bail knew at that point, the Jedi and clones were working together to suppress an out of control rebellion of anti-war protestors at the Jedi Temple. Him seeing Zett go out heroically battling troopers makes it clear for him what is going on and pushes the plot forward for the rest of the picture. So before anyone else says that this scene wasn't "necessary," think about it a little harder next time. While I agree that it wasn't ESSENTIAL for GL to make his son the one who goes out swinging, to that I say, "WHY NOT?" Lord knows if I CREATED Star Wars and my kid wanted a small cameo, I'd make it a cool one; it's not like he cast his kid as main character or anything.

 

Is he the same youngling that appeared in the library in AOTC? Looks like it could be.

 

just because the fact that it is Lucas' son that ruins it for some people is very strange, i bet if we did not know who he was , they would say he is sooo brave that little Padawan. but just knowing that ruins it? weird.

That was him.

 

"The problem was, all of the jedi masters died like tools, not because they were surprised (any jedi should have been able to sense something was up, at least the ones not flying). "

The Jedi don't sense anything because there is no evil/ hidden intent behind the Clones' actions. They are just following orders.
Says the novel.


"I think the scene was a good scene in that it showed Bail just exactly what was going on there.

If Bail hadn't seen the Jedi Purge personally..."

Which reminds me of what - again - the novel said: Knowing something is one thing, seeing it is something different. Obi-Wan says that about the Younglings and Anakin. If seeing dead Younglings can hurt a Jedi, who should be more detached and all that, then it's definitely more severe for Bail.


I smiled again during his scene while watching the movie today. Go Zett!

 

He's one of the best characters in ROTS. Derserves a force ghost.

 

Just in case

 

the whole younglings scene burned me to the core, but seeing him take out a few of them kinda made it a little better, not much, but some

 

Maybe they can work out some crazy storyline where Zett didn't get killed, he survived somehow, and we can have more tales from him.

 

Didn't Zett cut down a Clonetrooper while doing a 360 in mid air?
I think he did and it rocked!

 

Are you guys kidding?

Zett is daddy's little boy. Of course, he's gona' go out with his pride intact!

It was a great scene, but Aayla Secura deserved better then daddy's little punk padawan!

Pozer!

felt the same.

 

darth-poodoo(love the name )and all the rest of the zett haters
after all Mr Lucas did provided us with the whole of star wars......., I think it only fair a family member or two might get a scene.

 

This links to a picture of Anakin, Cin Drallig, Whie (a young Padawan played by Coinneach Alexander and featured in the book Dark Rendezvous) and another Padawan (played by Mousy McCallum) during the temple raid courtesy StarWars.com's Behind-the-Scenes featurettes. They noted that Cin Drallig is played by fight choreographer Nick Gillard (Gillard backwards is Drallig).
