I mean, Yoda fails and says "and now I go into exile" - WTF? He wouldn't try again?
That *heartily* disappointed me. I thought to myself as that fight went on, we KNOW he's not going to win; it's already decided that way. So what is going to make him give up and run away? Nothing could possibly do that, it looks like. He was freakin' DEDICATED, man. Soooo... "into exile I must go"? Huh? THIS is what leads to his complete change in attitude by Empire? Sense this does not make! I thought right away that it would have been better for him to be much closer to being nearly killed, and have him left for dead, to be found by Bail Organa, who saves him but takes him to a far-off planet.
THEN I thought, even better! The Emperor nearly kills him, has him at his mercy, and villainously says "I am not going to kill you... I am going to leave you alive and powerless against me, in a place where for all your Force mastery you cannot escape to reach me or act against me again, aren't I merciful?" and then have Vader (I wanted more Vader, dammit) dump 'im off on Dagobah. THAT would have made SENSE.
HOW THE HELL COULD LEIA REMEMBER HER IF SHE DIED SO QUICKLY! DUDE!
YES! DAMMIT! That was the FIRST thing I said after the movie ended. And Dan (who actually liked the movie LESS than I did... for all its flaws I am still squeeful over it in a general sense) was like "No, she could have been talking about her adopted mother, they weren't totally clear" which I completely disagreed with. So now Leia has memories of her birth? Theoretically possible, but WEIRD. This was another area where almost instantly I had a different idea for something that would've worked better, though in this case I then realized it was what I had unconsciously been believing the entire time (that being that Padme and Leia were hidden from Vader so he'd believe they were dead, but she died of something when Leia was like, two, and Bail Organa then raised Leia as his own).
I also realized at that point that I had had an entirely different vision of Padme and Anakin's relationship for the past, what, FIFTEEN YEARS...
what was the point of Chewie?
Yah.
Threepio's mind was wiped.
I spent almost all of the movie going "at some point Threepio's mind will HAVE to be wiped, they'd damn well better do it". LOL... But then I was disappointed that R2's wasn't wiped, too. *G*
In short - much much much MUCH better than 1 and 2.
Yeah - isn't it funny that we can give this long string of "no, no, NO!" and criticisms and still come back to it and say "but MAN was it better than 1 and 2!"? XD
