He dies after 6 minutes of screen time at the hands of a padawan. What, he's menacing because he's painted black and red and has horns? Someone was trying too hard to make him evil by giving him devilish features. But then I never understood the love for Boba Fett either (who died after only 5 minutes of screen time over 3 movies). You've got to be kidding about Maul. He's the one thing the prequels got right. Qui-Gon barely escapes their first encounter and later He literally beats him and Obi-One at one time. 4 minutes ago, Sacks 'n' Stuff said: Which is more stupid: Storm troopers are all Boba Fetts or Darth Vader built C3PO?

Larry Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 3 hours ago, Bliz said: The conversion of Annakin to the dark side should have been the climax of Ep 2, with Ep 3 about him reigning terror and stomping out the remnants of the old order, killing Jedi (full-grown ones. Who have light sabers. Onscreen) as he is attempting to establish his power in the universe, before he is finally beaten and ends up in that suit. I certainly could have lived with that.

The Evil Genius Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It was clone troopers who were all Jango (and Boba) Fetts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 That whole galactic oppression and Jedicide thing was ****ing Padme's fault. Senator slut was all over Anakin from the time he was like 9. What the hell was wrong with her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire franchise is better if you forget just about everything about the prequels other than the final fight between Annakin and Obi Wan. The best thing to happen to Star Wars was to have it taken out of George Lucas' hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, it's hard to imagine a more juvenile 2 dimensional bad guy than a devil ninja that says so little that virtually no star wars fans remembers him having any lines at all.

I was just thinking that. I wasn't sure if he spoke at all lol but he didn't need to. His presence told the story Maul should have at least escaped at the end of 1 and been the main villain in Clones that Anakin kills for the emperor while Obi Wan is knocked out. 1 hour ago, China said: Still don't see what is so great or menacing about Darth Maul.

Boba is lame as hell. He was killed by a 3 stooges routine. Darth Vader did all his work for him all he did has show up. He has nothing on Maul, a killer of a Jedi master. 59 minutes ago, Sacks 'n' Stuff said: Which is more stupid: Storm troopers are all Boba Fetts or Darth Vader built C3PO? Vader. It was so damn unnecessary to tie every character back to the prequels in some way especially when they made the prequels knowing damn well that their was no recognition of any of these characters in the subsequent OT story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His presence told the story Yeah, that was my opinion. I thought his his stature as badass was established, when the door opened, he's standing there, and the two Jedi step forward. "We'll handle this". "We'll take route B". He he also got his own music. (Darth Vader has "The Imperial March"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Lucas had great ambitions for the prequels, but no ****ing clue how to turn eons of world building into a competent two hour script, nor did he know how to cast the young actors or direct them. Basically, everything directors are required to do, he couldn't. If someone else had directed the prequels, they might have turned out just fine and it's a blessing that he's not directing the current trilogy. He's just too close to the material to make good on it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USS Redskins Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Lucas was caught up in one thing... Lucas. i recommend reading the making of Star Wars... it's an amazing and In depth look at the entire process. the original story started with a mace windy fighting an evil fish type thing... wow, amazing how it morphed into the final product but it sure told a different story that contradicted much of what Lucas had been telling for years. It was like he was telling an alternate history to make himself look more brilliant. though I agree getting a fresh take on SW is fun, it's in danger of being over done. Don't like all the prequels... though rogue one was awesome. Han Solo is dead and should be left that way... that was awfully stupid too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xameil Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I will first say I really liked episode vii, but if you think about it, it really is just episode iv again, just with a female lead and slightly different takes on what happened in iv. As much as Lucas "got wrong" in episodes i-iii, at least it wasn't a re-hash of a previous episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 So both Darth Maul and Boba Fett survived? These writers need to stop being pussies and actually kill off a character. Always finding some ridiculous way to survive is stupid. Next you'll tell me Han Solo survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke began training new jedi, but it ended in disaster and no new Jedi emerged. The Star Wars prophecy was that the chosen one will bring balance to the force. Luke has apparently failed to fulfill that bit. He then went and made the situation worse by exiling himself, leaving the dark side unopposed. Perhaps dark sides presence within the empire was underestimated, and Palpatine was busy making more red sabers while everyone was focused on Vader.

Sadly knowing that Hollywood has very few new ideas and knowing how Disney for the most part plays it safe....I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Darth Vader bring 'balance to the force' by culling the Jedi population down to about the size of the Sith population? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
