Throno-Denkai Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Originally posted by jessman233 The fact that most of you picked tpm shows how much you suck. The classic trilogy rocks. The prequals are just the sold out vision of george lucas. Lucas rocked when he made the first three movies... but now he's just trying to please everyone. The yoda battle was the rape of the vision of yoda. The real yoda is the one we saw in esb and rotj. And Darth Maul is the worst sith ever. You only like him cause of his lightsaber. You guys are such children... Vader is the sweetest Sith ever. If Maul wouldn't have died at the hands of obiwan he would have been slaughtered by Vader. Rotj has the greatest saber battle. It was more tuned into the characters. Not we, you suck!!! The trilogy saber fights suck, they cant even flip in the air or give a good flip to their saber when they are reflecting the blasts. I only like trilogy because the story is good and major part of the star wars series. Also Phantom Menaces story is pretty damn good. Not to mention that Qui-gon is one of the strongest jedis in the jedi timeline, both saber and force. If you dont be lazy to check some info about Star Wars, you will not be that sw stupid.

Darth Talliusc Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 oi, jessman SHUT UP. i mean that in as nice a way possible, if you disagree with us say so but dont flame. theres no room on these forums for closeminded people that cannot accept other people having different opinions. if you truly honestly believe that we should change our opinions tell us why in a nice way. dont just go around calling people stuff. sorry if i got off on a rant there, the tpm battle rocked. i loved the acrobatics in it more then the fact that there was a dualbladed saber. and the fact that obi-wan got some sweet moves down. (i loved the part where he blocked behind him by raising his hands over his head and back, and then swung forward and pressed the attack, quite stylish) edit: and darklighter, the whole TPM fightscene (saber part only) was 5 mins and one second. you can dl it from just about any of the kazaa type systems. definitely worth the watch.

Psionic Jedi Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Prequel acting is a little weak, but I must agree the acrobatics and SFX in the Prequels are very ... "DAZZLING!" . Trilogy fights are mostly saber locks. In many instances you can see the clear plastic rod when you are looking at the top tip of the saber (Ben v Vader in ANH) which detracts from the experience. It looks alot like traditional fencing and less "swordplay" than in Prequels. I really loved it when Luke was getting hella angry and sidekicked Vader in rotj; Score one for the light side! Gah this thread makes me want to rent TPM again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teutonicknight Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Oh so rotj saber battle wasn't interwoven?Take a good look at that movie again. Jeez, bunch of morons. DO i care what you say? No, I don't like the ROTJ saber scene anyway. Dense closeminded idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that Qui-gon is one of the strongest jedis in the jedi timeline, both saber and force. Dude, you don't simply judge saberfights because of their acrobatics! Hell! If GL did EP 4-6 in this day and age I'll bet the duels are gonna be even more spectacular than TPM and AOTC. I liked Luke's Force jump in tesb, wish we could f. jump that fast in JK2... I agree with most of you though, TPM and AOTC have MUCH BETTER LOOKING saberfights, but the atmosphere of these 2 movies are severely lacking. Maybe it's because ep1-3 focus more on the jedi than the main theme - STAR Wars - ep 1 and 2 don't give you much of a feeling of outer space, but IMHO they more than make up for it with the cool moves in saberfights. Well, bet. TPM and AOTC I'd say overall I like AOTC better, I'm not sure about the saberfight itself... I'll have to watch TPM again to make up my decision.

Throno-Denkai Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Well, thats your opinion and I respect to it but the duels in Trilogy makes me sleepy. The new episodes gave a speaciality to lightsabers. I mean any saber or sword can do the things that lightsabers do on Trilogy but in the new trilogy, it shows that this weapon is more advanced and extreme weapon.

ronbrothers Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Man, that is a tough one. First, you have to consider the order in which the movie was released and the technology available when it was filmed. So taking that into consideration, I will rate them in this order with special effects not necessarily being the factor: Favorite to least favorite: 1. TESB - c'mon .. this was a losing battle yet coming together with destiny. Vader was using psychological tactics as well as skill with the force. 2 TIE - ATOC and TPM. We FINALLY got to see Yoda kick ash!!! Imagine Yoda vs Darth Maul ... 3. ROTJ 4. ANH What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibballin Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 id say TPM cause its a fight with a guy who is using a dualbladed saber, come on. the part when maul first was about to fight him and he took out his blade right there you knew a memoribale fight scene was about to go down!

Arkum Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Definitely THe Phantom MEnace. Darth MAul, Qui_gon, and Obi-Wan were amazing. Had me at the edge of my seat. Lucas did a GREAT job with this battle from the moment the doors were opened to reveal Maul waiting to fight the 2 Jedi knights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkum Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 My mistake, Qui-Gon is a Jedi master and Obi-wan wasn't a Jedi Knight at the time either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<>Phant0m<> Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Originally posted by jessman233 QuiGon was the worst character... close behind is darth maul. TPM has a bad storyline. Quigon died because he was weak. He didn't pay attention so a sith APPRENTICE killed him. Obiwan is the only cool thing in the prequal series. The prequals are recycled storylines. That are too close to the original trilogy. To me, the death of Quigon was the best part of that movie. You should have seen the grin on my face when he died. Maul sucks cause he had like 3 seconds to slice ben in half before ben grabbed that saber and chooped him. watch it again, see the time lapse. Horrible. Vader used a strong style of combat. Along with plenty of Force moves. He is by FAR the coolest sith. So you kiddies can keep your quick moves and double sabers. But I know a good story when i see one. And tpm and aotc were not good stories... just veriations of the original trilogy. I'm glad they killed quigon off. Well your have proved your intelligence here my flaming friend [*]Qui-Gon Wasnt weak, he simply hasnt fought a Sith as well trianed as that b4, nor has anoyone else as the sith were thought extinct. [*]Maul didnt suck, he was a sith weapon forged by the emperor Sidious himself, fair enuf he was showing off, he had just defeated 2 jedi's, he was in the frikking zone man, but what surprised him was seeing his own death, if u watch that scene again, a split second b4 Obi-Wan jumps up and force grabs the sabre maul is shocked by seeing his own death with the force, if i saw my own death id be shocked for a few seconds too.

C Shutt Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Ranked from best to worst: 1) Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader, The Empire Strikes Back. Tense, dramatic, atmospheric. The inexperienced hero against one of the greatest villains in our popular culture. Not convinced? Four words. I. Am. Your. Father. 2) Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader, Return of the Jedi. The rematch. Not as intense as the first one, but still great. Did I mention Darth Vader is one of the greatest villains in our popular culture? 3)Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Darth Vader, A New Hope. Okay, this one wasn't great, but the bit where Obi-Wan died, that was unexpected, right? 4)Obi-Wan Kenobi and... the other guy vs Darth Maul, The Phantom Menace. The epic battle between two boring guys and a idiotic "kewl" villain. Some of the flips were cool, but did you really care who won? I sure as hell didn't. Plus, you had to sit through the rest of the film to see it. 5)Yoda vs An Old Guy, Attack of the Clones. What the hell was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agen Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 ROTJ, TPM and AOTC clones fights kcik ass. I like ROTJ cos he takes a freaky at vader, jsut fun to watch him get pi**ed off. and TPM was great acrobatic stuff. Aotc had Yoda I can't remember ESB, it's the only film i;ve seen once and it was a long time ago. I remember the end being qutie good and Luke getting his hand chopped but that's all.

Guest HertogJan Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 TPM was the best fight, so dynamic! It was everything the fights in the original trilogy weren't! The fight is one of the few great points about TPM though! And Qui-Gon was meant to be killed, I didn't really like him anyway. Obi-Wan is the best! Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi!!! But the fight at the end of SW EPIII will be the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
