Revenge of the Sixth Episode 3: Caution, contains big sp

So then, Darth Vader is.......................................... is is is...really that kid from eight is enough.  Mace Windu is toast...who ever heard of Mace Windu being in episode IV?  That goes double for everyone you never heard of in episode IV.  They all die in episode III. What?  Maybe Mace appears briefly in episode 7, the search for more money?

Geez, don't they know nerds don't take the toys outta the box?
 
 Star Wars figurines could create disposal problem, group warns
 
 The release of the latest Star Wars movie this week is creating excitement among fans of the sci-fi saga, but it´s also creating concern among some environmental advocates who fear the Dark Side - in other words, waves of discarded plastic action figures, light sabers and other movie-related paraphernalia headed to landfills.
 
 "We love Star Wars as much as anybody, but it doesn´t mean we should emulate the destructive power of the Death Star by harming the environment," said Anne Reichman, director of Earth911.org, an environmental action and information Web site. "Most people don´t know that these types of figurines can´t be recycled, not even little Yoda. In fact, almost all of these toys will sit in landfills until long after we´re gone."
 
 The group isn´t discouraging parents, or kids at heart, from buying the souvenirs, but they are offering tips for disposing of the materials after they lose their appeal.
 
 Batteries from light sabers can be recycled, just like flashlight batteries, by dropping them off at a local recycling center. Product packaging, which often outweighs the product it holds, can be recycled through local paper and plastic conservation programs. And the group urges the donation of old DVDs, Star Wars clothing and figurines to libraries, charities, schools and day care facilities.
 
 In 1999, when "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" was released, more than 250 million Star Wars action figures were sold. Earth911.org calculates the figurines´ aggregate weight to be about 5,700 tons.
 
 The group offers a listing of local recycling centers that users can obtain by visiting its Web site and entering a ZIP code.

Well, I finally saw Revenge of the Sixth, Pt III.
 
 Pt.II, Attack of the Clones, was far superior.  Revenge was a yawner...too much middle.  Send in the Ewoks.  There ought to be Ewoks.   Even crusty-but-lovable Yoda started to put me to sleep.
 
 It's the same ranking-order as the original three films: The middle was the best and the last was the worst.

Was sorely tempted to walk out, but I wanted to see Vader. The dialogue was perhaps the worst I've ever heard.

When the actor with the most character development is R2D2, you know the script's  slouching toward suckiness.  Do you think he has a dustbuster attachment?

General Grevous died waytoo easilly.  After all, he the four twirling sabres cartwheeling.   But he didn't hit a sausage. What gives?
 
 It was too many lightsaber duels.  And what was that purple lightstick thingie that Grevous' guards carried?  That didn't do jack shit.  What, was it supposed to make one angry, or something?
 
 Wookie's ARE the new Ewoks.
 
 Only the first half hour was watchable...

They didn't use it, but if you watch the Clone Wars animated series, the events of which lead directly into the film, the "lightstick" is actually something akin to a giant taser.
 
 Wookies, not Wookie's.
 
 General Grievous is probably the worst developed character in the SW universe.  I was hoping he would've been a reincarnated Darth Maul or something, who basically lost all his force abilities minus lightsaber skills.
 
 You honestly believe that this film was worse than Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones?  I'd like to hear how those two films were better.  I could actually stomach Hayden Christiansen in this one, something I can't say for either him or Jake Lloyd in the previous films.
 
 Despite the overuse of galactic basic on Yoda's part and the fact that George Lucas has obviously never been around a real woman in years or else he'd remember how to write one better, I'd put this squarely behind Jedi, with Menace fifth and Clones last.

Way to avoid my other question.  Did you learn from this manual?

Okay Smartypants, here's your answer: I wasn't bored by Clones or Menace.  I nearly fell asleep during Sith...hence Clones was superior.
 
 I suppose you thought that Home Alone 3, Robocop 3 & The Man With The Golden Gun were the best installments in those respective series, too?

Obviously I think that the third movie in any film series is the best in the series because I liked ROTS better than the previous two installments.  I'm so glad you were able to point that out to me.
 
    :roll:    
 
 I suppose by your logic, Home Alone 2, Robocop 2 and License to Kill would be your favorites then.
 
 The truth is that we're just splitting hairs here.  All three of the prequels suffered from the same problem, George "Faster!  With More Emotion!" Lucas' sub-par scripts and directing.
