Exar Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 like everyone i thought that this movie was mind blowing. Despite what critisism i have about george lucas's story telling abillties, There is little i can complain about, except the dissapointing end saber battle. Not that it was bad, but i think alot of people would agree that it was too short, especially when anakin had the two sabers. Not only was there so much possiblities with that scene that were thrown away, i just found out about the axed scene that had Dooku wielding two sabers against Yoda! What the hell are they thinking cutting scenes like this!!?? They already friggin spent the time and money to shoot the scene and they dont even use it?!! As if the fans wouldnt want to sit for an extra 5 minutes to watch a truly spectacular lightsaber battle! There is simply no logic or escuse to do something like this. The movie would have been better with the extra few minutes of footage, and im sure we'd be a thousand times happier as fans. I just lose more respect for george lucas for stupid crap like this. What a waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyJAllTheWay Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I thought that they coulda put in a little bit more saber duels. I agree with that. Maybe it's just something to look forward to in the DVD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blobbafett Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 personally Im realy pissed as to how easy it was for anakin to have his arm lobbed off..... some future all conquering evil sith lord! ..pfft!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throno-Denkai Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 George Lucas is gettin older and it probably effects his Star Wars mind. What the hell was that? That annoying old bastard took out Obi-wan so quickly, Anakin came and took obi-wans lightsaber and started to fight with him, Bastard cut anakins arm, than Yoda comes in and starts to fight with him. Maybe it was good for Yoda, people understood he is not and old man that cant do anything but it wasnt a good final battle, and the whole movie sucks if the final battle sucks!(not to mention anakins beeping golden arm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestril Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 He's just an arrogant boy, not even a Jedi Knight, who faces down a Jedi Master--that was a lesson, not a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throno-Denkai Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 And a lesson he paid with his arm. What did Anakin think? That bastard was Qui-gons master. Qui gon was obi-wans and obi-wan is anakins. We are talking about 3 generations. 1st one agains 4th one. No way that Anakin could win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exar Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 i think its a little funny that everyone gets there arms/hands cut off by sabers all the time but in real sword fighting the arms/hands are the parts most likely to be hit. the only way anakin would have had a chance against dooku is with the two sabers, cause having to defend againts two swords is a trick (unless you got an Exar/Maul stye saber). one thing that bugs me is in 'reality' dooku would have killed obi-wan there instead of just maiming him. I know, then the rest of the movies wouldnt make sense, but thats what would have happend. And i personally think Yoda should have killed dooku. that would have been cool!

acdcfanbill Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 i think dooku ment only to school obi, he probably respeced him.. as for anakin, maybe he was a bit scared of him, and just took off an arm to get it over quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 Dooku, took fastest way to get rid of the Jedi he did. Wanted to escape yeeeees! at anakin's arm getting off rofl. Deserved it he did. "you take him fast and i'll take him slow" - obi "no... i'll take him now" - annie (whispered)"dumbass" - obi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eben15 Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 actually the end scene inloved dooku sodomizing anikan, after he cut his arm off, just to show him who was boss, but yoda interrupted him. If you look closly when yoda walks in you can see dooku starting to lift his robe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zindell Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 What am I missing, Dooku did try to kill obi wan... Anakin jumped in and stopped him. Then he tried to kill him by dropping a massive piller on him. as far as the name of that book it's _____ emperor of dune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadpoolXQ Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I don't think Dooku actually meant to cut off Anakin's arm. I mean, the look on his face/emotion of Dooku, lucas probably wanted him to show that. Its a look of either "sorry boy" or "oh ****......sidious is going to be pissed i maimed his prize" kinda thing. I dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datheus Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I don't think Dooku's intention was to kill them with the pillar...he would have, I guess, but he knew Yoda wouldn't let that happen, he just wanted to get away, so he dropped the pillar to occupy Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 You have to remember that Dooku isn't purely evil. A part of him genuinely regrets having to do what he is doing. That's why he doesn't finish off Obi, nor does he seriously try to kill Anakin. @Exar: Vader only intended to incapitate Luke, and Dooku probably didn't want to kill Anakin. Jedi aim for the arms and hands usually, since they don't want to kill their opponent unless necessary. It's part of the way they fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro The Hutt Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Originally posted by Fallacy Dooku, took fastest way to get rid of the Jedi he did.

"you take him fast and i'll take him slow" - obi "no... i'll take him now" - annie (whispered)"dumbass" - obi *sigh* Too true ^.^ Stupid Anakin, how many times did Obi-Wan say that they need to take him "together". But noooo... he just rushed at him alone like a mindless idiot. Ah well, at least he is more intelligent character when he becomes Vader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda_alex Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I agree with the original post. They shouldn't have cut out bits of a lightsaber battle. If Lucas was worried about the film being too long, they should have cut out some of the "frolicking in the meadow" bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
