MrPoe Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I always thought Anakin should have been the all-encompassing Jedi student-stick up his ass, and Padme would be the one chasing him. That would fit more with the no nonsense Vader he'd eventually become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad kids just whiny little twats that ever one wants to suffocate with a pillow. he was completely unlikeable which was NOT at all how he should have been. he should have been this noble jedi knight who we all loved and hoped for but instead it was like "Oh holy fuck can this little bitch just turn into Vader already so we don't have to listen to his bellyaching anymore!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 How could Anakin be more well written? Serious question. What could have done to improve him as a character? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could have done to improve him as a character?Replacing all his dialogue with the long drawn out death rattle of a man with terminal flatulance would have even been an improvement.

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Did anyone else find the scene with Anakin killing younglings unintentionally funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Not particularly, but anytime anybody says "youngling" or "padawan" I shooray for tolerance!/facepalm/cringe.edit: amusing use of the word filter there, guess I should have said giggled or chortled Edited December 8, 2014 by DR DOOM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bono Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Just thinking out loud here: In the new Star Wars trailer there's a scene with what appears to be a Sith. We all know it. Given that character is wearing a black glove on his right hand and given the new look of the lightsaber with a cross guard, which presumably is to protect against getting your hand cut off, and given this character seems to be either limping or walking a bit gingerly, what if that's not a Sith. What if that's Luke? I know, I just blew your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Well fuck that was a short lived theory. Apparently his name is Kylo Ren Just read it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 That shit ain't to protect nobody's hands from falling off. That's a gimmick light saber, like Darth Maul's double saber or Dooku's curved shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I still think Kylo Ren's saber looks kick ass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Every lightsaber is a gimmick - they ain't real. If they were even using a standard lightsaber would be a death wish. Mauls even more so and this latest just as dangerous. But in the Star Wars universe they exist and are almost the sole preserve of force users, who can wield them effectively aided by the force. This latest one is no different, and its safety or perceived lack of, can be explained away quite easily. The blade could split in three thus protecting the users hands if a blade dropped down the shaft, even if it cut through the protruding metal bits it would still hit the blade inside. Criticising the new lightsaber based on real world laws is ridiculous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Yes of course I still think a lot depends on the fighting style utilised in the film. It will probably make more sense then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have voiced Vader but David Prowse (Yorkshire) is the bloke behind the mask. All the other Imperials and the Emperor are Brits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a gimmick light saber, like Darth Maul's double saber or Dooku's curved shaft.What do you think they are for on a real sword. Doesn't matter if you like it or not that would be the practical purpose for it. Lightsabers are a gimmick in themselves. This goofy idea that in the history of the Star Wars universe that all lightsabers were the exact same is dumb. People are just bitching about it because they want desperately to complain about something.

Dan H. Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Yikes. Who cares if it's a black guy?And I hear that 'black guy' is a very very good actor. That's all I really give a shit about. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
