Introducing the cream of the crap, the red-headed stepchild moments of the Star Wars universe, including Michelle McManus, a giant elastic band and Natalie Portman getting naked (well, almost).

Of course, I wouldn't possibly be doing this to get some comments out if it... you know you want to.

Ach, damn. I heard Lucas had a cameo as (in his own words) "A blue skinned guy in the background." I was hoping it was him, but from IMDB, "The blue skinned Baron Papanoida who appears during the opera scene."

Utterly superb; the Tarkin thing had me chuckling away. I could even forgive the heresy of slating Boba Fett...

I think it is because they didn't need to go so crazy with the lightsabre fights. They've spent time with the force and know not to be hasty.

Or not... as the case is.

Well they probably hadn't used their lightsabres in 20 years so that would probably explain it, but still.

Also, it seems that in the first 20 years of the empire, all the stormtroopers forgot how to shoot, presumably because they never needed to. They all shoot from the hip and couldn't hit a plane with an elephant(rider)

Maybe they all fell and hit their heads?
Or health and safety got involved.

Yeah I remember in Jedi Knight II I always would fling it about like a boomerang.

It's just great to see them weilding the lightsabre like they don't have a clue what it is, when not 20 years before they were jumping and twirling like nobody's business.

The sabre fight in IV really does suck ass.
Must be quite amusing after III's swirly shenanigans.

I never got why the hold their lightsabres anyway ... surely just fling it around using the Force? That would have been cool.

I watched Eps IV and V after III and Yoda is brilliant in V. He's just a crazy hermit, and after his serious wise old man musings at the end of Ep III it's just great to see the esteemed leader of the Jedi nibbling on some sort of dog chew and ransacking a box with the "ooh ahh hmmm hee hee hee" glee of a small child. As soon as he starts talking about the force, though, he reverts back to his more normal, slightly less entertaining self. Shame, really. You can imagine the Yoda from Ep V playing pranks on ole Mace Windu and the other crappy Jedi counsel. In fact it could be an entire line of ofshoot cartoons! Brilliant.

One thing I find quite strange is that the apparently elite Jedi are so easily felled. I mean in Ep 3 when **SPOIL? Windu goes to take out Palpatine, the soon-to-be Emperor just swipes at them and they go down straight away. No fight, no foresight, nothing. I mean COME ON, even a youngling would have blocked one swipe. Also, for all Anakins dark side powers, he still gets his ass whooped by Obi-Wan, who ain't really all that.


Oh, and watching the wonderful Obi-Wan - Anakin fight at the end of III, then seeing the 20 year later reinactment in the Death Star is just hilarious. THey go from one handed acrobatics to two old men having a fight with brooms, shuffling around each other and holding their lightsabres like they could explode at any moment. Wonderful.

I dare you to try not to laugh when that big fat blue dude pops up in Episode III. It's impossible not to.
