what about in Jedi when Luke and Leia are talkin and he asks if she remember her mother? If her mother died in child birth how is she gonna remember her? I hate to nitpick this stuff ...but seriously ... when you have something that gets known as the "Holy Trilogy" you should not let things like this slip.
I haven't seen the original trilogy in a long time, but is it possible that Leia remembers Mrs. Organa (can't remember her name) as her mother? Or does she go into detail?
Obi Wan doesn't necessarily know that Leia had any powers? I don't know. I'm rationalizing.
Poor Natalie Portman. Poor poor Natalie "signed a contract" Portman. With lines like those, can you really expect her to give it her all?
Agreed about the Yoda fight. Was it just me, or was he kind of winning? Why the running? What was with the meaningful look at his little coat on the pole?
But despite all my bitching and moaning and nitpicking, which there was a lot of in the car ride home, I enjoyed it. Obviously not on par with the real Star Wars, but what can you expect?
Anyone else feel like the story of Anikin is actually an allegory for George Lucas himself? So much talent, so much potential, so much youthful idealism, then only to be seduced by the dark side?
Please don't mind me, I come in peace. I am a friend of K. Rock's and also a huge fan of Hate Your Friends. I couldn't help but notice your recap of Episode III. I saw it yesterday and noticed the same stuff (I agree with you totally) but also a few other things

No need to appologize, please...The more the mightier, I always say.
Well...Not ALWAYS...but sometimes.
I mean..Actually...No, I don't think I've ever said that until right now. Hmm.
Okay, ANYWAY (and thank you for your support of HATE YOUR FRIENDS..>We're awfully proud of it) yeah...When Yoda mentions the 'speaking from BEYOOOOND" stuff, he's referring to ability to appear as a 'force ghost' ala' Ben in the original trilogy. In the script there was actually a scene (or scenes) with Yoda actually speaking to the ghostly image of Qui-Gon...Telling him that something horrible was going to happen but it's all a part of a grand scheme etc. etc. I'm not sure if it was filmed and cut or just cut entirely. It would have made so much more sense.

Well thank you kindly sir. I figured as much when Yoda said that. Yeah, it seems George may have let a lot slip through the cracks. The beginning was a little slow with too much drama building up to the stuffed-at-the-end conlcusion. Everything happened so fast. Find out about Palpatine, kill Mace-Windu, become Darth, kills Jedis amuck, all in like 15 minutes. Even killing children without even thinking twice. I mean I know he becomes THE Dark Lord of all the galaxy but in 20 minutes?! It just felt a little crammed after kind of blah-blahing in the beginning. They should have really built his becoming up a lot more and I agree, Qui-Gon discussing this with Yoda, or the "terrible" something coming would have definitely helped. All-in-all it was at least redemption for the prequels but still, I'm sure, left many a fanatic unsatisfied, like you and I. Content, I am, fulfilled, I am not. More extended scenes when the DVD drops, I only hope

TOTALLY!!!
As soon as I saw Chewie, I was half-expecting to see a young Han Solo.
Still, Yoda jumping on Chewie's back? SO CUTE!!!
