SWG Tales

You are kidding me right? Suburban Commando and 3 Ninjas: High Noon at mega mountain were cinematic GEMS. Right up there with the Thunder in Paradise TV series.

Obviously you are no Roger Ebert.

Yes I can't wait for this movie. It IS the last hope that Lucas can salvage his franchise. Unless of course he turns the thrawn series into movies (AND DOES IT RIGHT)

There's going to be a No Holds Barred 2? Done by George Lucas?

I give up.

I hope so...maybe hogan's daughter will be in it. She is actually kind of hot. I think she is like in her late teen's early twenties.

To answer you question Keer, I have read 4 different leaked Scripts and they all say about the same, As to where I got them i fkin forget it was like 3 months ago and I have reformated since then..and the only fight that is 1v1 is ankain and obi, the rest are 2v1 that turn into a 1v1 like when obi and anakin went at dooku, well round too has obi taking a dirt nap..

Zannon wrote:Keer, just to support Jerrel a bit...I've seen 4 different leaked items that indicate that the final Mace scene is a 77 move lightsaber fight that involves a force flip down a staircase and some force lightning. Also note that the Maul fight was only 43 moves. I also have read an interview with Sam Jackson that confirmed both the number of moves and the staircase bit.

Sure, I remember Zannon. It was you who I first saw the claim from about the fight being longer.

Still, quality. A flip? Okay. Lightning? Cool. The Obi-Wan/Anakin/Dooku fight had flips and lightning but that wasn't my idea of a quality showdown.

We'll just have to wait and see what it really looks like, despite verbal description.

The problem with the new movies isnt how many moves are in an action scene, Look at the vader vs luke fight on ROTJ, or even ESB, both are great examples of an EPIC battle, they werent full of flips spins and fancy crap, christ watching them I felt I was a better swordsman, Im just saying the feeling we got off those will never be felt by the new ones cause honestly I think they are crap...IMHO!

Well see the fight with obi and maul was a battle for servival. The battle between luke and vader was a an epic battle of good VS evi. Whoever won would decide the fate of the galexie. Grant it that so were the others but they were duels to the death the ones in ROTG and ESB were duels for the Galexie.

That fight was a mere 17 moves between them all...very minor if you ask me...the Innego/man in black fight in Princess Bride was over 30.

Perfect example and my point exactly. 17 moves and 30 moves, both relatively minor. But that Princess Bride duel was exciting! And they pulled it off in about 30 moves. Or 300! Not the point.

Another example: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon when Li Mu Bai engages Jen in the forest.

"If I can take the sword from you in 3 moves, you must become my student."

*FWAP*

He takes the sword in 1 move...and it's exciting! He humiliates her, but it's still on some WHOA! type shit! See what I'm getting at?

It's not about the number of moves, 17 or 5,000 of them. There are 12 round boxing matches between great boxers that will bore you to tears. Hundreds of puches thrown. Then there are 6, 7, 8 round smokers that are spectacular clashes, yet shorter in duration.

I'm saying that the Obi-Wan/Anakin fight has to be a spectacular clash, regardless of duration. Duration isn't a guarantee of quality.

Thats my point as well, Look at the vader/luke fight on ROTJ, no spins just pure fighting and not too many moves really, but that fight grabed you and held you and you felt the suspense of it, the new ones are pretty but thats all they really are..

Well I suppose that anyone who had never seen the original trilogy would wonder about that. But Star Wars is Star Wars...seen it or not, EVERYONE KNOWS WHO DARTH VADER IS. Its pop culture. Vader is Luke's dad. Lukes last name is Skywalker. So is Anakin's. Duh.

Yeah people are dum. And I do live in LA. I swear we must have the lowest attention spand in the nation. I've heard people ask if Aniki is suppose to be Vader? Is AnikiN Luke's "SON"? Is Anikin realated to Luke? And for non Star Wasrs movies. Why did Spider Man tell Mary Jane he doesn't love her (in the end of the first movie)? Titanic was such a great movie but why did they have the ship sink and all those people die? I serriously had a shit fit when I heard that one. My brother could give you guys more idiotic questions since he works in a movie theater.
