Maul is kind of like Boba Fett. Very little screen time and untimely deaths, but very popular characters.
I agree you can say that about any of the movies. Some of the bad acting/characters (Anakain and Jar-Jar obviously) are just more glaring in the prequels, especially since Anakin is a main character. Plus I think we can agree that the prequels had more expectations on them to be something epic and world changing. They really had no chance to live up to the crazy hype. I actually enjoy the prequels for the most part and am looking forward to seeing more from the SW universe.
Speaking of ESB, did the timeline ever bother anyone else? It always felt like the Millennium Falcon chase lasted a day at most, but Luke was off training for weeks!
I figured that since the MF's hyperdrive wasn't working, it took forever to get anywhere. What bothers me most, if I let it, is the Hoth battle and how the snowspeeders kept attaking the AT-AT's from the front. Not to mention that once Luke found out that the Snowspeeders blasters couldn't penetrate the AT-AT's armor, why the hell he didn't tell everyone to go back and get their X-Wings. And, seriously, it took Vader 3 years to track down Luke? Why not use Bounty Hunters from the start? Or, hell, just get on the holonet and let the Rebels know that he's Lukes father, and wait for the Rebels to turn on Luke? Luke, rather than slowing down his X-Wing, proceeds to go full speed into the planet despite his sensors being down. Why not slow down? LOL! Hoth, a desolate place with not enough life to fill a space cruiser, yet I'm going to leave you out here alone, Luke, so good luck! Some "old buddy." Vader kills Luke's friends and fellow Rebels, tortures his sister and new best friend, and finally mutilates his own son by cutting his hand off, yet Luke still senses good in him and fans are ok with that. Anakin slaughters a Tusken village, kills younglings, and chokes his wife but have a hissy fit on how Padme could still love or sense good in him. This is if I put the typical PT hater cap on and apply it to the OT.
Hayden as Anakin is on par with Mark as Luke, IMO. As for Jar Jar, I don't have any issue with the character, but I think he would have been better received if TCW had come out first before the live action stuff, as there are alot of episodes with him in it that are just awesome. 2, in fact, in Season 6 where he teams up with Mace of all people. Still, JJB, IMO, represents us. Star Wars fans and geeks in general. I'm sure at one time any one of us has had to deal with bullying, not fitting in, annoying people, etc. Any one here been looked down on for being a geek or a nerd? For likeing Star Wars a little too much or Science Fiction in general? Being too skinny, too fat, having pimples, etc. It's ironic how the one character that geeks and nerds should identify with instead use him as a punching bag.
I've never been the Boba lover like alot of SW geeks, but I get it. For me, it has always been Vader. He made the OT.
I haven't watched it for awhile again LOL! I think I'm on the Weapons Factory ep.
I contacted them again today after not hearing anything yesterday and it looked like nothing was going to happen today either. But they finally responded and said they've had a lot of problems with the site lately. And my order finally shipped out late this afternoon. And it might get here tomorrow because they are located in my state
.
I'm hoping if enough people complain they'll at least give PT DLC stuff away for free. It would be the right thing to do.
I really liked McGregor's performance a ton. I'm hoping he comes back for an Obi-Wan spinoff movie.
Not gonna lie, DM not being available to play as in Battlefront is by far my most disappointing thing of all the stuff they've chosen to leave out.
We could always start an Aladdin and friends bashing thread here
.
I was definitely going to make the Maul and Boba comparison too. There are tons of SW characters that could fit that mold of being extremely popular while having only tiny role. With SW its so much the look of the characters that makes them so iconic.
I guess I never looked at Luke as being on Dagobah all that long. I mean he didn't even have to shave once lol.
He Force shaved. You didn't know?
LMAO! God!
They really could have had fun with this game. Could you imagine using DM on Hoth and facing Luke? Or Vader on Geonosis facing off against Anakin and/ or Obi-Wan? Or make Binks like the ultimate killstreak bonus you could get. Undefeatable, and wipes everything out. LMAO!
I'd love to see a live action Clone Wars movie with him and Hayden back. I would also love to see Luke talking to his dad in one of the new movies via the Force. Sadly, I don't think it will happen.
It is weird to hear you're having so many issues with BBTS. They need to take care of you man. You should tell them to refund shipping or something.
Weapons Factory? So, you've seen Landing at Point Rain?
Like the new avy BTW.
