Yeah, I'm trying to remember one memorable scene from that movie that wasn't memorable largely because there was something annoying mixed in.  Between Jar-jar, the kid, and the friggin' midichlorians there isn't much left.

Ok - the scenes with Padme alone with no make-up were decent, though I think her abs figured prominently in my approval.  And some of the fights with the dual light saber guy were pretty good.

Second movie, those without Hayden Christiansen were often acceptable.

Third movie: almost every damn shot had HC.  Could only stomach it once.

who's hayden Christiansen?

waaaait.. setting stuff straight....

the little kid is darth vader?
padme.. is luke's mother or am i totally off now? does that mean the kid and padme .... eerh...



also the cgi is terrible!

wood springs to mind

The main character of movies 2 and 3.  Need any more proof of just how bad they were?

How can there be a generation gap between us when you're only a year younger than me?

 

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, hold up. In that video she says everything depends on capturing the viceroy. But in the movie it seemed like the most important thing was taking down the control ship.

Nute Gunray couldn't do shit without all those droids. He's basically useless. Wow, George, wow.

The sad thing about that clip is that even 3 of the best actors in the world couldn't do anything with that shitty dialogue.

This is what I get for spending so many of my formative years around people 3-5 years older than me: mockery by my peers.  

there there..

If it's any consolation Eldo, I know of the first three Star Wars, and I have to regrettably say that I found Hayden Christensen very attractive a few years back. That has changed quite a bit though. He's a little creepy....

They could have saved a lot of money by doing stop-action animation with him carved out of wood, and gotten nearly the same results.

At first I thought you were talking about Orlando Bloom.

 

Same thing almost, but Hayden I think is worse.
