What was with that kid's voice? He sounded like Del Boy with that ridiculous cockney accent.

A Few thoughts:

What I wanna know is how it took them 18 fucking years to build the damn Death Star, considering the outside of the thing looked about 40% complete. That's some slow friggin work don't ya think?

It's only the prequels that have made the stormtroopers "all clones". You can see in the Timothy Zahn books (which I know are not applicable to the 'real' SW universe - but were written under the constraints of what the official history was at the time), where they talk of clones being made illegal after the end of the Clone Wars. With this older history, Han's imperial background fits in perfectly.

This makes sense to me. With Palpatine being in power, I can't imagine he'd enjoy seeing a GENUINE Seperatist force, with clones of their own, rise to take him on. I imagine that the Kaminoans (the cloners) would have either been killed or went into exile after finding out the extent of Palpatine's deception. We know that Palpatine keeps at least one of the Cloning facilities in one peice in his personal storhouse on Wayland. By the time of ANH most of the origional 'Stormtrooper' Clones (from ROTS) would be 20 years older anyway (barring genetic tampering to keep them young). I imagine that the Empire would have to recruit (or Conscript) many other soldiers to replace the clones, or just to police the ever expanding Empire.

Haha yeah, the kid killing thing seemed a little odd to me. It was a bit of an over the top way to establish Anakin as a bad guy...

"Okay, you clone troopers take care of the Jedi Knights around the temple. I, the only force sensitive one on our side, will take care of the children."

←

Well to be fair, I don't think there were only kids in the building. Palpatine told Anakin to go kill all the Jedi in the Jedi Temple, including the younglings. I'm just assuming that there must have been some Jedi in there as well.

Wow, Anakin/Darth is a fucking pussy. Unless he's wiping out kids he gets his ass handed to him. Obi-Wan fucks him up, making him look like a reject from Monty Python's search for the Holy Grail.

I had finally gotten around to seeing Episode I as well, and I must say I prefer the new trilogy much more to the old one. Aside from some of the crappy dialogue, and the crap acting of Christensen (and sometimes others) it blows the originals out of the water. Aside from Harrison Ford the trilogy goes from meh to horrible at times, with the shitty writing and acting.

And finally, George Lucas is horribly overrated.

I thought the movie was good but not the best movie ever.

I thought there were a few plot holes in the movie though especially on Anakin's turn to the darkside. I mean, I know he was being manipulated by Palpatine but his turn to the darkside was way, way, waaaaaay too quick for my liking. Plus, his rationale for turning to the darkside was to save Padme's life but then he chokes her with the force thinking she betrayed him. Then when he's Vader, he asks how she's doing. Huh?

[Thrilla]

You've never acted out of spite or anger and hurt someone and then asked how they are doing later on?

That's because his real reason for turning was personal, like wanting to be a powerful jedi, his lack of emotional maturity, etc. Him going to the darkside to save Padme's life was almost his personal rationalization, when in reality it was the things I had mentioned.

I don't think that's right, to be honest. Anakin was afraid that Padme would die because his dreams about his mother had come true, and seemingly the only way he could save her was through Palpatine. When he at first turned, I don't think he realised what he'd done.

When he thinks Padme betrays him, his anger is most likely because he feels that his turning to the Dark Side was for nothing now. This anger makes him even more enveloped by the dark side, and when he is placed in the Vader mask, he realises the error of hurting Padme, and is regrettful. Once Palpatine tells him he killed Padme, his anger at himself is what makes him the cold, heartless bastard we see in later movies (probably to avoid grief).

Yes he dreams of being the most powerful Jedi ever and ruling the galaxy, but I don't believe he turned for those reasons. I believe he turned for the reason he stated; to save his wife from death.

Jar-Jar is also in the background when Anakin and Obi-Wan return from rescuing Palpatine

The Millennium Falcon also makes an appearance in that scene.

I liked the film, despite not being a huge Star Wars buff.

The Millenium Falcon. It's at the bottom.

Oh and for these people wondering about Anakin killing actual Jedi in the Temple, I show you this...
