  1. Saadus sneaks up on the hill, careful to make sure Maharg67 doesn't notice him. The moment Saadus gets behind him, he kicks his butt and watches Maharg67 slide down the hill. Saadus now owns the hill.

  3. Just going to address this one then Im done. Of course Jedi are not emotionless but they controlled their emotions to where they fought without passion, without anger. Skywalker lost his cool and chopped off his Dad's arm. That's not really control. He slipped to the Dark Side, but pulled himself out and that's why Palpatine got angry next. :thumbsup: I say the fights without passion from the Jedi were on purpose, with the rather vivid exception of Anakin. I say he had plenty of emotions in his fights. Anyway, I don't we will change each other's opinions. But I know one thing we can agree one. This new trilogy will be the death of Star Wars. ='(
  4. Someone correct me if I am wrong here please, but I don't think legally we are able to take copyrighted sounds and put them in a mod. Which means this mod idea is not legal. Sorry.
  5. 1. Midichlorians. 2. Lack of focused story due to constant transitions between groups. 3. Numerous and horrible plot-holes (really ask yourself why the whole Pod-race thing was needed in EP 1 from a plot perspective) (Or how a kid in a starfighter, even with help of the force, could just fly right into the base which is controlling the whole invasion and single-handedly, and unwittingly, blow it up ending the whole battle). 4. Some actors (actresses) who couldn't act their way out of a paper bag (not counting Jar Jar and the whole Gungan race). 5. Too many scenes discussing space politics to the point where even the real nerds were getting bored. 6. Useless Jedi powers and overly choreographed saber fights (watch Ep 5, compare that to 1, 2, 3). 7. No Lando. 8. Overly elaborate scenes with too many moving parts to distract you from what is actually going on. 9. Product placement (namely s*** that was only there so they could make a toy of it). 10. George Lucas having too much creative freedom. *edit* Incidentally... This. http://chainsawsuit.com/2012/11/01/an-end-to-complaining/ 1. What was wrong there? 2. I thought the story was pretty good, even with it transiting between groups of people. 3. Okay the last part with the star fighter, granted that was ludicrous but the pod race wasn't that bad. Anakin won his freedom and Qui-Gon Jinn got his money and parts to get off the planet. 4. A lot of actors(actresses) are like that. 5. Now I never got bored with that. I found it all rather interesting and i thought it also helped build up to the final climatic ending to the Republic. 6. What useless Jedi powers? and over the top saber fights? I don't understand this part. 7. Duh, its taking place how long before Episode V? 8. Not really. At least I could follow what was going on at all times. 9 and 10. I got no response lol. 1. The force was always seen as something mystical, almost magical, it made sense for what was really a fairy tale set in space. There was no need for Midichlorians. 2. The story was riddled with plot holes, a lot of the time it didn't even make sense. 3. The whole pod racing thing part right from where they got off the ship was nonsense. On leaving the ship Qui-Gon says it's dangerous and that they must remain inconspicuous, then he suggests Binks joins them. Our noble Jedi then goes on to try and get a trader to accept a worthless currency by using a mind trick, he might as well have stolen the parts, the result would have been the same. He then blindly accepts that this trader is the only one with the part, here Qui-Gon has just fallen for the oldest trick in the book. It never occurred to Qui-Gon that in a space port there would be people who could use Republic Credits, why not change them? in fact why not just book passage on a ship going to Coruscant? they'd take Republic Credits. Instead we end up with a ridiculous series of bets where this time our fine upstanding jedi does get away with abusing his powers by interfering with the dice roll. The pod race itself was a farce, it was like watching a bad episode of Wacky Races. Anakin falls so far behind in this three lap race that force powers or not he would never have been able to win unless the others stopped for coffee half way round. 4. The trick is not to use bad actors, although I'm not sure how much was bad acting and how much was down to the bad script and the obvious limitations of blue/green screens. 5. The politics would have been OK if they'd been presented in a more interesting way, watching people sitting around talking about it isn't interesting. 6. The fights were awful, ballet with light sabers would have been more accurate. They were over choreographed and devoid of any passion. Look at the death of our dishonest and not very bright friend Qui-Gon, Kenobi watches as his friend is killed, he does look pretty angry behind that force field, surely when that field drops he's going to go to town on our mystery red faced foe? does he? well, no, he continues dancing and jumping about without one bit of emotion showing. Compare this to Skywalker at the end of Episode 6 when Vader threatens Leia, Skywalker hammers away at Vader in a fit of rage before stopping, regaining his composure and thus denying the Emperor what he wanted, there was more passion in that 30 seconds then there was in all the sequels put together. 7. Lando should be in everything. 8. There's was so much stuff going on that it was hard to follow and thus care what was happening, Lucas just filled the screen with as much crap as possible. 9. Lucas is a businessman first and (poor) filmmaker second. The decline started with the Ewoks and got worse from there, he was more interested in selling toys than entertaining the movie goer. 10. In the original films Lucas had people around him willing to tell him when he was getting it wrong, technological and budgetary limitations also forced him to be creative. While making the prequels he was surrounded by sycophants, filmmaking is a collaborative effort, the prequels were not. 1. It didn't really bother me or anyone else watching the prequels. 2. Didn't make sense? I managed to sit through all three films without getting lost. 3. Jar Jar was annoying. I think Qui-Gon was hoping he would get shot. And a Jedi stealing? They are supposed to be the symbol for morality, for all good. Him trying to trick the trader to accept credits is better than stealing them outright. No other ships were available for passage, and Qui-Gon was interested in the slave as well. And I don't think he was down by any laps, just far behind. 4 - 5. opinion only, won't go there lol. 6. Jedi are supposed to fight without emotion. To separate themselves from emotion, whether in mediation or in a saber duel. Skywalker was not a true Jedi at the time and did not have the appropriate experience to separate himself from all his emotions. 7. Just wouldn't have fit in a story taking place...40? 50 years? before the original trilogy. 8. Once again, I did not have a problem with this, and neither did anyone I know who watched it. 9 - 10. I lack the appropriate knowledge to actually answer this question lol. Ill admit that much.

  7. What was so wrong with the prequels? I enjoyed them all and I don't see where it went all wrong.
  8. Computer is acting up. It won't start up and when I connect the power (I unplugged it for now) it keeps making an incessant beeping noise.
  9. :whistling: Got Awfully Quiet...
  10. Still don't like them. :ohdear:
  11. I am doing the same Kool. Good night everyone.
  12. Now that i finally calmed down, I can now say, with all sincerity.... HAPPY HALLOWEEN! :devil:
  13. Using cookies and pies in warfare? That's just....that's a line that most evil people don't cross. Why use innocent cookies and pies?
  14. Not to mention the countless books that have long been considered canon suddenly becoming worthless. Apparently, they are not turning the novels into movies, but going an entirely different direction with the story :facepalm: I wanted to see the Truce of Bakura on the big screen, or even the Yuuzahn Vong invasion.
  15. 3 words - entitled spoiled babies :armscrossed: Agreed. It seems like there are more people who would place a game above the lives of others. Some people have even murdered for gaming systems. ='{ Yes society has dropped to that level.
  16. Above user would give a hang-overed man a headache with the neon green. :wacko:
  17. Saadus comes up and kicks AVDutch down the hill. My hill now.
  18. ah, okay. let me know if you find those missing cookies then.
