The one thing I'll never understand from the prequels is why Palpy decided on the name 'Darth Vader' for Anakin
Like did he have the name planned out ahead of time or did he just think it up on the spot

I think he had it in mind, given how he seemed to be grooming him to become a sith.

Palpatine was actually fluent in Dutch and he knew Anakin was gonna be a dad.
In my mind I pretty much consider the Prequels non-cannon, but at the same time keep all the stuff about droids and clones because Battlefront and Republic Commando kick ass.
This movie looks very promising, even more so than the trailers for episode 1, which looked very disjointed from Star Wars. I have hope.
[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;47554875]They were originally supposed to be battle monks, not ninjas with amazing reflexes. There's a reason Luke never jumped around either.
Also I know this is a byte from Plinkett's review but I liked the original thing where light-sabers were only a Jedi's weapon and Vader had a red one because he was a fallen Jedi. It sounds really cool the more I think of it.[/QUOTE]
I mentioned the amazing reflexes because they're already established in the first film. Like when Luke is training with that ball thing that shoots lasers at him.

Daniel Day-Lewis couldn't do shit with that dialogue.

It's not really possible to act when you have lines that awful.
[quote]during the filming of A New Hope, Mark Hamill is alleged to have told him that "people don't talk like this!", Harrison Ford complained "you can type this shit, George, but you sure can't say it" and Empire co-writer Lawrence Kasdan recalled frequently saying "This is a terrible scene, I can't believe George wrote this" while reading Lucas' earlier draft. Even Lucas called himself "the King of Wooden Dialogue".[/quote]

Yuuuup
[QUOTE=FingerSpazem;47554347]Yeah, agile fast fighters would be rad and acceptable as long as their movements are deliberate and with purpose.
The main reason Vader fought the way he did though was because he practiced a defensive form of light-saber dueling. Some styles were totally reactionary too.
I guess I really just want to see variety in Jedi/Sith combat styles and I especially don't want to see all those pointless flips and flourishes.[/QUOTE]
I actually came here to post the Old Republic cinematics, but someone already took care of that on page 7. To me, those are the perfect balance because yeah, they're impossibly fast and agile, but every single strike is made with the intent to kill. They actually look like they want each other dead, and they use their speed and agility to work towards that.
I especially like how in [url=https://youtu.be/YdgmH9Vv2-I]this one[/url], the Jedi gets himself killed both because [I]he fucked up[/I] and Malgus was genuinely a better fighter. That's one thing I felt like the prequels didn't ever have, a feeling of who was the superior combatant. In that trailer you can see that Malgus will accept nothing less than victory and has the skill to claim it. The only time a skill gap ever really shows in the prequels is when Dooku fights Obi-wan and is clearly just toying with him.

Yeah he actually felt like Obi-wan and in some respects had actual [I]character[/I] despite the writing, at least to me.
He did have one hilarious misstep though but that's entirely due to the writing.

I think it'd be pretty cool is Disney, after finishing the sequel triology, remade the prequel trilogy and then made the old prequel triology non-canon.

Well, that's one way of looking at it.
[QUOTE]Colbert's quick humor was on display throughout his conversation with Lucas. At one point, [B]the filmmaker described his own films' dialogue as "wooden," to which Colbert, a lifelong Star Wars fan, said, "It's not wooden, it's hand-carved dialogue."[/B][/QUOTE]

and also everything around you is bright blue/green and you don't see where you actually are
According to Mark Hamil's panel at Celebration, what you hear in the trailer is the dialogue from ROTJ along with a new recording of the line Mark did recently. It was recorded just for the trailer according to him.
Around 9 and half hours in

They could probably even keep Ewen McGregor. He's aging really well, and Alec Guiness was in his 60s when he played Obi-Wan.

When I first saw this scene I thought I Obi-Wan was having a hard time dealing with what he witnessed, and could barely say it out loud.
You've ruined it for me.
It's hard to make bad dialogue sound convincing, especially when your entire set is a lifeless boring blue box. I like the prequels as a story, but the movies are just painful
I would like Ewan Mcgregor to play Obi-Wan in a Anthology film. Have him put his really good portrayal in a film with real sets, and actors and a well written story.
Either set during the Clone Wars (then you can use people like Mace and some of the jedi council) or between III and IV.

I just like it as a Star Wars thing. If it wasn't Star Wars I wouldn't watch it or care.
I can't even say I like the story because it's so all over the place. I like the concept of a trilogy around a young Obi-Wan and Darth Vader fighting in the clone wars and Anakin turning to the darkside. But not the story Lucas went with at all.
Essentially I like Obi-Wan's lines of dialogue from Episode IV about the Clone Wars I guess.
Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars is still the greatest thing to come out of the Prequel Trilogy

I'm so glad that we also finally are getting something NOT prequals for once
that's all we've been getting and the prequals were shit... why?

After seeing the cartoon I was super excited to see Grievous in Episode III because he was a badass villain who killed Jedis by the dozen.
But it turned out that in the film he just flails his arms about, gets them hacked off and dies. That was disappointing as fuck.
