  1. One of the things that really put me off from ANH is not the effects, as dated as they now look, it's Luke and Mark's performance as him, he seems to be stuck in one mood throughout the film, at least Hayden carried off sadness and angst over his (Anakins) mums death, Luke barely flinched when Owen and Beru where burnt to a crisp. There is no drama whatsoever in those Jabba scenes, (for me anyway) maybe it's because it's a big puppet, but he does nothing in those scenes to warrant his reputation, but the biggest problem is that the gang all goes in for Han one at a time, and Luke giving R2 his sabre means they all intended to be captured and possibly killed one at a time. I first saw ROTJ when I was about 7, I could see how stupid it seemed at the time, especialy Jabba not executing a man who could kill his Rancor. Re watching it now ROTS just serves to make his redemption in ROTJ more meaningful. Without ROTS and the others in the PT we just didn't know what Anakin was like, due the lack of focus on Luke in ROTJ, the series as a whole seems to be about Anakin now, and his fall in ROTS dose look better. Mystery of the clone army's origins aside, the story held up better than TPM for me, it was an actual chase, the heroes moved through the story causing events, compared to TPM which just seemed like a lode of events happening in order to get everybody to the point where they could develop for the OT, with little or no choice for the characters, beyond choosing to return to Naboo.
  2. Ooh bang on. Not exactly, a lot of the dialog from the actors especially Han and Luke was a cringing as the stuff from Anakin in Clones That is one of the things I do hate about the PT was the green screen work, and minor things, like in the OT the ships exploded with no wreckage and a neat fireball, but in ROTS especially far too much CGI was used. Really, the stuff was about as sad as Luke's confrontation with Jabba in ROTJ, both needed drama to carry them off but both missed it by the dreadful acting. As for the 3PO bits, it was too long but did remind me of the comedy bits in the OT, 3PO on Chewies back in ESB or most of the Trash Compacter scene. Aside from the apparent speed Anakin submits to the Dark Side, ROTS was a lot more tragic and meaningful than Luke’s accession in ROTJ, that whole thing seemed like it was shoehorned in amongst all the other stuff going on in it. I'm not saying that the PT was perfect, I hated all but an hour or so of PM, but I do hold ROTS and AOTC higher than I hold ROTJ and ANH.
  3. The most important thing to remember is that ROTJ sucked. ROTS is one of the best films, probably after ESB. Ewoks and Droids sucked, but CW and TCW more than made up for them. I've chanced my mind, I want Disney to make a new film and hope it's better than TPM or ANH.
  4. Though not exactly a 'single pane' funnie is it .
  5. Nice atmospheric lighting . And great job on the medical droids.
  6. But the PT was great. Here's hoping it's a few animated TV series's not a film or trilogy.
  7. What not even flick fire missiles .
  8. I do not want to think about this.
  9. I do not want to think about this.
  10. "You where my brother Anakin" "I hate you" Great shot, somehow the fig looks even angrier than usual.
  11. A subtle way of making Vader tower over Sidious there. Fantastic build, especialy those walls and things in the pits.
  12. Nice job . Smooth looking floor and walls, with some nice detailing. Only he BD should have red lasers and tan backpacks .
  13. Just watched this scene on DVD just to look at this MOC. You can almost hear the flack guns .
  14. Arrrg, yellow, it's ruined . That's looking good .
  15. They are so good, shame there's only two left. They really feel like a continuation from series 6 ignoring 7, 8, and 9.
  16. Unfortunately . I miss the 7 or so minifigs style logo of the old sets.
  17. Noooo! Sounds better, the colours look cleaner in real size. What is the one in the bottom left, is it the closed helmet pilot from the CW cartoon?
  18. So it would seem that The Wolverine follows on from X-Men: Last Stand, rather than Origins: Wolverine. That could be interesting.
  19. I prefer the Delta 7 really, I've never been a fan of the 7B. It's just the shaping in front of the canopy, it looks a lot nicer on the 7. Will you make any of the other TCE fighters, or even the Azure Angel ( ).
  20. Use Performance. Appearance could imply a performance, however they could also just have turned up for a appearance.
  21. It was quite smooth . Though the jumps did look too blurry.
  22. I do think they look crap. TLG is incredibly bad with Destroyers, non of them have looked right, or even in scale. As for looking like the Sith war droids, they would need a new head, and to be grey, but I can see the resemblance.
  23. I wasn't going to comment until you finished it, but I can't help myself. I really loved the giant bone structures in ROTS, they really gave another 'alien' feel to the film, seeing it built now is fantastic. Besides you'll probably end up doing the entire sinkhole, including the core ship .
  24. Nice, I really like the Imperial side.
  25. Now thats a really good idea, I like Ahsoka's.
