Opus Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Man, people really blow Jar-Jar out of proportion... even 5 years later. I mean, when I first saw him in theatres I jumped on the bandwagon too. But now when I go back, he's in league with C-3PO and Chewbacca. And I used to think you were cool. Annoying side-kicks... nothing more. While he is severly annoying, C-3P0 isn't a sidekick. He and R2 are the focal point of the series. They're the only constant. They appear in all 6 movies. Star Wars is'nt about Jedi or the struggle of good againt evil, it's really all about two droids and the amazing things they've been witness to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundown Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Add me to the catiously optimistic list. Is it me or do the new shots of Grevious look photorealistic-- much more so than the previous ones we've seen? Did they build a real Grevious mask for some scenes, or get themselves a better renderer or something? -Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Artoo and 3PO arent the only characters in all 6 films. Theres Anakin, and Obiwan as well.. According to sources Grevious can actually hover and weild 4 lightsabers and has even bested Dooku in sparring. Given he has no fear and has trained Under Dooku its no trouble to see how he could defeat all but the best jedi. He is 80% cyborg he doesnt get tired like organics.

Jar-Jar was overdone in Phantom Menace, much more than 3PO and R2, or Chewbacca's comedy moments ever were. However, still not quite to the extent most fanboys complain he was. What's more, I think Jar-Jar rather redeemed himself in the second movie, by almost single handedly becoming the downfall of the Republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Jenius Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Yeah, Jar-Jar was being set up to be that foolish. But I never saw anything that would ruin a movie. How about Jawas? Those could be considered annoying and childish by some. They should call this one "One Force to Rule Them All" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, when I first saw him in theatres I jumped on the bandwagon too. But now when I go back, he's in league with C-3PO and Chewbacca. Not for me. Double-Jar Binks is still as irritating and terrible an idea as ever. The straw that broke the camels back for Episode I and the icing on the cake of horror for Episode II. At least Chewie didn't have to stoop to fart jokes. Hopefully that CGI atrocity will be even more limited screentime-wise in Episode III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like all the major bases have been covered here to me. Well that's cuz people haven't use spoiler tags (I mentioned using "color=white" previously) and people have been posting pics, wasting forum space instead of linking to the place they got them from. Some of those pics are from places that are less caring of spoilers. But oh well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I just visit this thread expecting spoilers, and I agree that there really does not appear to be much left to spoil, however I do see where Duke Togo and azrael are coming from. There's not really any reason not to hide everything behind spoiler tags with a description to let someone know if it's something that may or may not spoil things for them. I imagine some people just come here hoping to see pictures of the new starfighters, ships, and wookie boats, wookie outhouses (seriously, what else could that last picture be of?) and don't want to see pictures that reveal that General Grevious is actually Obi-Wan's brother's uncle's cousin's step brother's former roommate.

Radd Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 My girlfriend takes apart computers and puts them back together, for fun. She has a red GBA she plays all the time. She loved Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. She likes a lot of the same anime I do. And she's hot. So no, I have not experienced this.

lt.actionjackson Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 My wife has loved the prequals and still has no love for the OT. We saw the trailer before meet the Fockers and she leaned over and said "We're going to see that right? It looks intense." She also has managed to steal my GBA and hasn't allowed me to play for more than 5 minutes in months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
