It finally happened. Who wants to touch me?

How are you just now watching these movies?

They just finally removed the rock last week, so now he's free to live wherever he wants.




And screw this machete whatever. No order will make the PT viable or watchable or important. Watch the OT as intended, then if you really must, watch the others in order (which I doubt you'd feel compelled to given your opinion of the OT). Or just wait for VII.

Episode II was decent and Episode III was, despite some flaws, genuinely good overall. I think the Machete order sounds like a good idea.

I know some people defend the lightsaber battles of the prequel movies, but even those are dull.

The main problems are that everyone seems to have a lightsaber which takes away the mystique of it and the fights had almost no payoff to them. The frequency of them was the real killer and anything that may have been interesting (Yoda) turned out to be absolutely stupid.

Also I seem to be in the extreme minority but I really don't mind Episode 1 as much as most and find Episode 2 to be utter hot garbage. I can't think of a more forgettable movie that I've seen. If Chino should skip one, it's that one because I'm almost certain he could jump from 1 to 3 without really missing anything.

Can someone explain to me why Obiwan let himself get killed?

It isn't ever REALLY explained, but I think it was (1) he knew he could not beat Vader, (2) he knew he could be of more use to Luke once he crossed over into the afterlife.

As standalone movies, I agree with you.  But in terms of overall plot, II does actually have a lot that is important backstory for III-VI.  Ep. I does as well, but the vast majority of what is necessary is repeated, so you don't really miss anything by skipping it.

I finally was curious enough to open this thread.  Is it too late to touch Chino?  How about his girlfriend?

[JayOctavarium]

I don't know about touching her,


But she would watch and thoughtfully smile as we all "touch" Chino

[Nekov]

DO IT

[Chino]

Why does Vader even bother with lightsaber fights when he can just choke people to death with his mind?

[hefdaddy42]

I'm not sure how useful that trick would be against another Force-user (i.e. a Jedi).  Hence, the lightsaber.

Settling things with a light saber duel was a callback to the days of chivalry when gentlemen would settle disputes by dueling with swords.  One could argue that Darth Vader wasn't a gentleman by any means, and being a super evil guy and all that, wouldn't necessarily play by the rules.  But I always liked that he had enough respect for his old master to settle things in the time-honored fashion, even if he planned on slicing the guy to pieces.
