Well i finally got around to seeing Star Wars Episode III(VI) not last Sunday but the Sunday before that and i was somewhat impressed.

However i thought the Crashlanding of the Orbital Starship[ thing was a bit of a Godmode as i thought the gravity counter reactors were shot(clapped out) and i was wondering how could they land half a ship.

So with that i was thinking oh great this thing is going to be crap.

But as the movie went on more questions kept poping up such as was/is the Queen of Naboo the same person as Senator Pedomen(Horrible spelling).
The problem is because the first two new movies really sucked i couldnt concentrate and obviously missed alot of stuff.

Then there was the issue of General Grievious and Darth Sidious.
Seriously what Munt brain would name two characters names which obviously are real words meaning some sort of evil.
They could have been Bobus and Slakrag or something but their names were stupid,

Then i was wondering about Grievious and his stupid weeze i was thinking why is this stupid robot thing doing this but then it was all solved when he got flambe'd.

Maybe this was explained earlier but i missed it.

Then my mind got side tracked when i recalled a few conversations thar popped up here.

Imagine this a conversation with Teal'c,Jar Jar Binks,Yoda,Captain Kirk and Pee Wee Herman.

Imagine it wow then what if someother clown popped in to this convo how would it go?

Yes.

It wasn’t explained earlier. In the Clone War animated miniseries (which is apparently cannon, because Lucas is making an expanded cg version of it) when Grievious is kidnapping the chancellor, Mace Windu catches up to him and does a sort of force choke thing on the bio-droid's chest. I assume he gets it repaired before that battle with Obi-Wan.

Yeah, the Clone War cartoon is canon, which is kind of dumb because it aired at night on Cartoon Network, so lots and lots of people didn't see it or even hear about it, and then they had elements in episode III that referenced things in the cartoon. So lots of people were confused.

I have no idea what Canon is but.
I was aware of this Cartoon Network programme but only watched it once and it had been on for many episdoes. i also remember a Cartoon of the early 90's that centred around R2D2 and C3-PO- as well as some foriegn character.
well i think it did...

I also thought the 'Birth' of The Vader was a bit lame.

And the way he tried to jump the lava and subsequently got cut up mighty fine was crap.
Pietas Furor yada yada yada.

Canon means it is officially recognized as part of the Star Wars Universe, on equal footing with the movies. As opposed to all those other things you mentioned, which are not canon and therefore are not recognized as truly being in the Star Wars Universe.

It means that George Lucas recognizes it as part of the Star Wars Universe. The name is kind of ripped of from the Catholic Church’s Canon Laws.

Edit: Beaten to it

Oh gotcha well i was also annoyed by the Million Dr Ropata's(Temuera Morrisons) seriously how can you have that many Maori in a movie?

It was called "Droids", and it sucked.

It may have even been at one time, part of the "Ewok Adventure Hour" where half the show was the Ewoks,and half Driods.

It was really, really gay.

Ah the Ewoks
Were E-E-E-E-EWOKS something .......
i enjoyed that as much as Smurfs.

Yes that Cartoon Sucked but i dont think they were back to back mind you i aint American nor have ever lived or been there and i ll throw a stick and say you are.

Admittedly General Grievous is a bit weak, but as far as I know 'Sidious' isn't a word. Like the names of the other Sith Palpatine/Sidious christened, it's derived from another word, insidious, meaning a secret/hidden spreading of something evil/harmful.

Bobus and Slakrag don't really conjure up much dignity as names for Sith Lords.


Doctor Marianus

A fairly obvious allusion to insidious - might as well tatoo 'traitor' across his forehead.

Also he seemed to die fairly quickly in a seriously crap scene.

Good for you. It is, however, SW III - Revenge of the Sith. Episode VI is Return of the Jedi.

However i thought the Crashlanding of the Orbital Starship[ thing was a bit of a Godmode as i thought the gravity counter reactors were shot(clapped out) and i was wondering how could they land half a ship.
The force, man, the force. You got a whole bunch of Jedi and a Sithlord aboard the ship. Size matters not. I bet Palpatine could've held that ship in midair if he had wanted to!

So with that i was thinking oh great this thing is going to be crap.
That was my feeling about the first two.

But as the movie went on more questions kept poping up such as was/is the Queen of Naboo the same person as Senator Pedomen(Horrible spelling).

In the first movie, Padme Amidala was the Queen of Naboo. I believe it was in the second one that she turned Senator and moved from Naboo to Coruscant. In the third movie, she is Queen no more - as can be seen in the burial scene at the end of the movie. It's either Queen of Naboo or Senator of Naboo on Coruscant. Can't be both.

Uhm - that "Munt brain" is called George Lucas, the inventor of Star Wars. Look at all the movies - the names usually speak for themselves (Loner = Han Solo etc.).

It wasn't really explained but General Grievious used to be organic until something really bad happened (don't remember what) and he was turned into a cyborg to stay alive. Before he was flamed you could see his internal organs were still there - the weezing comes from his original lungs that give up on him.


Then my mind got side tracked when i recalled a few conversations thar popped up here.

Imagine this a conversation with Teal'c,Jar Jar Binks,Yoda,Captain Kirk and Pee Wee Herman.

No. I will not imagine that. Captain Kirk will most surely strangle Jar Jar Binks after a few seconds and Teal'c would gut Pee Wee Herman for the fun of it. After that, Yoda, Captain Kirk and Teal'c would just hang out on the bridge of the Enterprise, get drunk, and watch TV on that big ass screen. I'd be the clown to join them, delivering the pizza and getting invited to stay 'cause they can't pay for it. I'd become the first Jedi to command a Starfleet Ship and travel the universe via ship and Stargate. The End.

It was explained actually.

The cartoon series "Clone Wars" is "Canon", and Mace Windu force-crushes Greivous chest cavity, when the android kidnaps Palpatine.
Thus, the cough, is damage done to Grievous stll functioning lungs.

The event that cuased his injury, was a ship crash, set up by Dooku.

Indeed I am.

I distinctly recall something called "The Ewok Adventure Hour" but I dont remember if "Droids" was a part of it.

I do know that both cartoons sucked monkies.

It wasn’t explained earlier.
It is expained in Labyrinth of Evil , by James Luceno (I finished reading it yesterday and started Revenge of the Sith yesterday, too.

At the last page of Labyrinth of Evil , Obi-Wan and Anakin are in their starfighters not far from Coruscant, and we see how General Grievous and his MagnaGuards (with the sticks, with the purple thin) kidnapped Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.


Talking about Star Wars and hopping I won't notice? :D

Good for you. It is, however, SW III - Revenge of the Sith. Episode VI is Return of the Jedi.
