Yeah she did.... she was "rock hard"-core excited... lol i couldn't stop staring/laughing... seriously now, although i think she's not that bad looking.... the love sequences with her were terrible.... it shows that lucas should focus on the action, and let the ClosetFan handle the ladies bid.... I strongly agree with that suggestion. 11 out of 10 for everything besides the love story. Yoda vs. Dooku lightsaber bid: FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! three thumbs up. And, btw... Originally posted by *Nixorbo*: *No, I still think "This party's over" follwed immediately by "I don't think so," courtesy of Sammy L. Jackson, were the worst lines of the movie.* Au contraire Nixorbo.... that Sammy L. Jackson line, though surely not the best, was certainly not the worst line of the movie..... every sweet-talking line between Hayden and Natalie are. But I liked that line. It gave me rememberances of "Shaft", a TV show that you gotta love... TOP OF THE PAGE DANCE HERE, i guess... ------------------ Am I breaking your concentration?

is it just me, or does yoda's lightsaber fighting remind you of sonic the hedgehog? I couldn't stop laughing when Yoda started jumping around like a little midget on crack having a sugar trip. anyway, this movie rocked, better than episode 1 in so many ways, and easily on par with the original trilogy. 4 1/2 stars out of 5 P.S: was anyone else waiting for Jango's head to fall out the bottom of his helmet when Boba was holding it?

I couldn't take Yoda fighting too seriously That would make more sence really. if it had already fallen out, obscene as it may be, Boba would probably be holding his father's head rather than just what appears to be his empty helmet. I dunno though.

I dunno though. It was probably fused in there, those suckers are HOT (see: beginning of Episode 1). That would also explain how people get their limbs hacked off by those thhings and not lose any blood - it cauterized the wounds.

or maybe Jango use something even 20th century helmets have: a chin strap.
But I also halfway expected to see the head drop out.

About the Cannon, I thought that Star Wars fans agreed that the only cannon was the movies. Lucas showed that he didn't care about the books in the special editions, and in Episode II he even made the scripts non cannon (Lars were Luke's aunt and uncle) I actually like the fact that a lot of the novels make no sense now, most of them were horrible to begin with. Lucas did the right thing most of the novels were just retreads of classic sci-fi stories or just mediocre sci-fi. I honestly do not think that Star Wars needs secret bases surrounded by black holes, or evil intergalactic skeletons.

Great line: Yoda: "Shot at the nearest Federation starship!" I wonder if Lucas did that on purpose.

Originally posted by AClosetFan: Episode I was too disney Episode II tried to be too serious I remember an old-school Lucas interview, when he was talking about how the prequel trilogy's storyline was "too serious", and he'd have to figure out a way to "make it funnier". Sadly, Jar Jar was his answer. But oh well. The goofy stuff was toned down, but I wouldn't call Episode II too serious...it still had a good amount of comedy. Obi-Wan had some cool lines, and Nute Gunray was just awesome. [side-note...in the original storyboards for the arena fight, Jango accidentally torches Nute with his flamethrower. That sounds hilarious...too bad it got cut from the final film]

Heheh, I'm just kiddin' (psst, e-mail it to me round back in 5 minutes) I saw it about two weeks ago, but I've only been here that long (at PEEL you fool, not on Earth!) and I frickin loved it too, I love all of them, I think critics will obviosly be critics and do what they do. Anyone can be a critic, not many people can make a Saga of such magnitude, go George, go! I thought the bit when Shmi dies in Anakins arms was well done, that boy looked pissed!! Here's one thought: I wonder did Anakin know, even with all his mediclorines (assumption of spelling) that he, The Chosen One, the One who would bring balance to The Force, who undoubtedly could foresee things as all great Jedi's could, would be sooooo stupid as to not stick on a condom and not have the twins that contributed to his downfall. Like, d'oh. Nice one. Well, I'm off to play Jedi Knight II, Outcast to use Vader Grip and Emporer Lightning on some mediclorinely challenged Stormtroopers, oh yes, and my red dismembering, cauterizing, lightsaber.

Went to see the movie a second time Friday. The romance-scenes grates even more. I think the good Mr. Lucas should have left that part of the script to someone else.
Obi-wan's storyline was much better. And the final battle between Jedi's and battle droids still kick ass. It's nice to see Jedi's do some mass-fighting. And Yoda still rules.
I just wished they'd included some space battles between Federation starships (he-he) and the capital ships of the clone army.

Triumph The Insult Dog is a puppet that appears on The Conan O'Brien Show to condemn interviewees. Somewhere around here, someone linked a big, long clip in which he nailed a whole slew of Attack of the Clones geeks waiting in line. I will try to find it, and see if it's still good. Edit: FOUND IT! Originally posted by BlackCoke in the closed "Test-sicles (AKA Inane Babble)" thread. Return of the Dorks. Right-click the link and save it to disk! It's very long and gutbustingly funny.

Originally posted by BrainSluggo: ! It's very long and gutbustingly funny. I have no incentive to see that clip. I'm a nerd, and why would I want to bust my own guts? Nah, seriously it's a very funny clip. I recommend it, unless you're unable to laugh at yourself. In that case you'll probably be as offended as ever in your life. Back o-t: In hindsight, the more I think about the more I dislike most Anakin related in this movie. The romance-scenes still creep along, cliche ridden and all, and Anakin just comes across as a spoilt brat, upset because he have to play by the same rules as everybody else. It's essential to the plot (ie turning Anakin to the Dark Side, but still...), and whether it's the actor or the story I can't say. In contrast Obi-Wan's part of the movie improves with each viewing. I like his calm, and confident approach to things. Thorough and determined, he continues to unravel the mystery, until he uncovers the truth. And the fight between the Jedi and the battle droids still rock. Great battle sequence.
