Similarities between the Movies(especially ROTS and ROTJ)

The "Anakin... Anakin" part was definately voiced by Liam Neeson, though I hear the "Nooooo!" part was voiced by another actor (hence why it doesn't quite sound like him). It was intended be Qui Gon's spirit saying all of it of course. ;)

 

Apparently after TPM Liam Neeson didn't want to be part of Episode II or III (don't know if it was personal distaste or he was just too busy), so new scenes with him were never filmed, and the voice lines were just recycled from Episode I.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, R2D2 and C-3PO are in every movie. However, Anakin kind of depends on what you consider Anakin Skywalker and what you consider Darth Vader (I personally always consider him Anakin Skywalker, but when he's in Vader's outfit, I also consider him Darth Vader and refer to him as such, which in this case would be in every movie)- if you consider Anakin Skywalker just Vader without his mask on, he's in episodes I, II, III, V, and VI. However, if you consider him as Anakin Skywalker as just him being on the light side, that would be I, II, III, and VI. But to me, if he's the guy who is Anakin in I and still controls the same person (himself) in IV, he's in all the Star Wars movies.

Sorry, when do we see Vader looking at the DS2 skeleton in ROTJ? I don't remember when...

 

There are several shots of Vader looking out the window (recycled IIRC) in both ROTJ and ESB, but it's a close up of the back of his helmet.

 

That final shot is more akin to the end of ESB with Luke, Leia and the droids looking out at that nebula as the Falcon flies away (which is also paralleled to the wedding in AOTC).

 

The medal celebration in ANH parallels with Episode I's parade and ceremony.

Technically the "Noooo!" in ROTJ is actually "Never!" but still, I know what you're saying. ;)

 

Hmm. Sounded like a simple "arrghh" to me. I must not be listening carefully enough. Maybe if Luke's saber wasn't so obnoxious sound-wise, I could hear the line better.

 

Besides RotS, the other movies follow a very rough mold, it seems to me anyway. They all contain a few basic elements, thought often in different orders:

 

Some kind of attack that screws over at least one main good guy character.

A space battle.

A rescue.

A lightsaber fight. Surviving good guy(s) get wounded, either mentally or physically.

Trust me (or turn on the subtitles), it's there. ;)

 

Speaking of saber sounds, I agree, that ROTJ's are hardcore. Since it was the SW movie I saw first and the one I saw most often, I've always assumed that's how sabers are "supposed" to sound like. They sound powerful! Now compare that to ROTS. Unless you really boost the base, they don't sound nearly as cool (it's like the people are just lightly swinging them at each other). Especially compare when they clash...

It's kind of nitpicking really. I mean what do you consider to be Obi-Wan? His physical body dies in Episode IV after all. Likewise Threepio's mind is wiped in Episode III, so one might as well argue he's a "different person" in IV-VI than in I-III. Also Anakin, the good man "returns" even when he's inside the suit. ;)

 

Plus he's Darth Vader before he gets inside it. If you want to get all philosophical, you could say that "Darth Vader" appears in III-VI, and Anakin appears in I-III and VI. But I think it's still more proper to say that Anakin himself is in all the movies, even if he turns evil for awhile.
