Star Wars EP3 Discussion WARNING: SPOILERS

etccarmageddon · 20-05-2005, 14:47

This thread is for discussion of the film for those who wish to talk about the plot and spoilers. Dont participate if you havent seen the film and wish to remain spoil free.

I've just amplified the warning a little so no-one can say they weren't warned.

etccarmageddon · 20-05-2005, 14:50

so..... I aint seen the film yet but hear that Lucas promised to explain in this one why Liam Neeson had to be burnt on a bonfire rather than his body disappear like Jedi normally do when they die. Did R of The Sith settle this important issue?

no doubt some will still be tempted to the dark side of the spoilers regardless of the warning!

They did explain this, and quite well too I thought. The only bad thing about this was how it was implimented in the film, it just looked to me like they suddenly remembered about that bit near the end and threw it in quickly.

there is a conversation between Yoda and Obi-wan, where Yoda tells Obi that while he is on Tatooine he must do some learning about the dissappearing trick(becoming one with the force) from his old master.

The book actually goes into it a bit further.

I really liked the way how R2 Was prtrayed in this film, they seemed to give him back some of the attitude he had in the original films, I think he actually stole the show for the first 20mins

I can still remember the frame in the original star wars comic of over 25 years ago showing the scene where obi wan leaves vader by the volcano,Im really glad they kept that part true to original ideas.

Shame the 3rd trilogy has never been mentioned since the start of ep I

I noticed that although C3PO's memory was erased R2's was not!! which means that he knows everything in the OT. I shall watch the films in a different light now.

The film was absolutely brilliant i went to see it today.

Lucas has said many times that he will not be doing a third trilogy anymore.

etccarmageddon · 20-05-2005, 17:12

Yup, there was talk many many year ago of there being 3 films after the originals (episodes 7 to 9) but Lucas has said he's too old and making a trilogy takes a decade out of his life.

I must have missed this bit of the film - where did they do that?

aliferste · 20-05-2005, 17:56

I believe they are making a star wars television series. 100 episodes I think.

But was there anything left of anakin to burn or was it just the mechanical part of his body? Qui Gon learnt to cross over after dying not before so I assume thats why his body was burned.

Thats how R2 Remembers being the property of an Obiwan Kineobi. I think its also why R2 seems so calm while 3p0 is freaking out (that and also the fact that 3p0 is a robotic pansy

)

Saw it, thought it was rubbish.

Right near the end, when Yoda tells Ben he has some new training for him. Basicly from what I can tell, any Jedi who knows the secret of Imortality dissappears when they die, Jedis who die without knowing this leave a body just like anyone else.
QuiGon didnt dissappear because he learnt after dying, he learnt how to cross over. I think Vader did dissappear and all that was burnt was the remains of his Mechanical self
