Sometimes I'm slow
So we just watched Revenge of the Sith, finally. (Yes, it took five years.)
And OMG STILL LAUGHING. *expires on keyboard* I really don't think that was the reaction Lucas was going for with his big tragic finale.

yes .. I would say it was a bit of a tragedy, just not quite the dramatic tragedy that Lucas was going for.
Which is why he should think up the story and hand it off to others to write the script and do all the practical filmy stuff with it.. :D..

Poor woobie Vader ... I LAUGH AT HIS PAIN.
yeahhhhh ... We had two competing theories, while we were watching, for how this screenplay came about -- either it must have been written by a 17-year-old Lucas, or they found a fanboy-written script on the Internet and decided to steal it. XD (But the last one probably isn't true, because it would have been much better!)

"You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness!"
Lets see.. two jedi... two sith.. seems quite balanced to me:D:D:D:D such a deliciously bad script..

The NOOOOO wasn't quite as funny to me as the "Anakin, you're breaking my heart!" which had me LOLing in the theater...

... seriously, if your script is so awful that even Samuel L. Jackson can't make his lines sound convincing, you know you've got a bad problem ...

I still love the original trilogy (recently rewatched it, and yeah, it's dated, but it's still Star Wars!) but the prequels really are an exercise in How Not To Write a Screenplay.

I think that sums up the entire movie!

"Must… bridge… gap… to… original… trilogy…"
I don't even remember if I saw this movie (seriously) but the abridged script is hilarious! Thanks.

...it was just a shame about the other 99% of the film...
Have you ever read the 'Darths and Droids' webcomic?

It's not exactly cinematic brilliance, is it?

... and you know, your icon reminds me of another of the (many) problems that I had with the movie while I was watching it -- there are NO women in the movie with speaking parts other than Padme, and her sole role is to stand around flailing helplessly and then die. (At least in the previous movies, while not exactly my favorite character, she DID stuff! She was a queen! A senator! She kicked ass with a blaster! And then she got pregnant and suddenly was incapable of doing anything other than drifting around her penthouse apartment worrying about Anakin.) And I think the only time we even saw another woman in the movie was the blue Jedi's death scene. So there just aren't any female senators or Jedi or pilots or Sith or soldiers, I guess ...
