I much prefer THX1138, also by Lucas. That is a brilliant piece of work.

I thank you all for not voting for Episodes I or II. Those are a disgrace, especially #2. [WHINE]"I'm Anikan (sp?) Skywalker, and I'm MAD!"[/WHINE]. The ONLY good parts of these movies are the lightsaber fights, and I can't even watch those anymore because I'm always thinking of how I could kick Darth Maul's ***. And the Yoda fight was cool, but I crack up every time I see it, and it kinda ruins the mood for everyone else.

I used to be a really big Star Wars fan, but I gave that up to become a full-time fencing.net poster.

But Jar-Jar's SO cool... Oh how I hope he has a bigger role in Revenge of the Sith than he did in Attack of the Clones. He's my favorite. Way cooler than those stupid furball ewoks. That's why TPM gets MY vote.

Oh, do I hope you're being sarcastic.

Did anyone else notice the apparent desparation with which Jar-Jar was worked into Episode 2? Like the role was already there, but George decided to make it Jar-jar instead.

Actually, the whole reason the lightsaber fights are so good, is because Darth Maul's had a black belt in kendo for years and years.

Good luck...

Everytime I see 'The Empire Strikes Back' I flashback to when I first saw it in the movie theater. The fight between Luke and Darth Vader where Vader has Luke's blade and is doing some kind of double bind or envelopment. I actually yelled out loud, "Speed up and thrust! Speed up and thrust!" My friends thought it was very funny, but Vader would have been dead right there. Stupid Jedi......

The biggest mistake in Episode II: allowing the main character to be referred to by the horribly inane 'Ani' because the instant his mother was killed he became permanently and forever engraved in my mind as 'Little Orphan Ani'...

I actually did check that first off, but I wanted you to say it.

And a black belt in kendo is cool, but try fencing sabre without bellguards or ROW. Flips aren't going to help you there....

Fortunately kendo is nothing like sabre without bellguards, even without right-of-way, and doesn't rely on flips.

You'll still get stomped, I must say.

In that case you won't get stomped, you'll get killed.

I love them all, but they are all flawed. So be it, who cares? The tale has psychic resonance...look what it's done to all of us. (Yes, even The Geez.)

Good luck...
Actually Ray Parks is an international wu-shu (sp?) champ. If you notice he incorporates a lot of spinning into all the coreography (sp?).


EDIT: That's not to say he isn't a kendo master. But what he mostly drew on in EP I was his wu-shu background. I read that in an interview with him (just to give you my source).
