Star Wars Megathread Ep 1: The Though Out Menace (AKA The Phantom OP) - General

Just saw the movie in theaters. Several people cheered when Qui-Gon died. Did this happen to anyone else?

[QUOTE=Run&Gun12;34702171]Just saw the movie in theaters. Several people cheered when Qui-Gon died. Did this happen to anyone else?[/QUOTE] No. The only part where the audience did anything uh...Obtrusive, is when the duel of the fates started, and some kid was like "I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE THIS PART!". Come to think of it, I remember when Qui-Gon got killed a really little kid asked his dad if Qui-Gon was, in fact, dead.

[QUOTE=Grimezy15;34675693]Back from watching it, the 3D was sub par in all honesty, wasn't 3D for a majority of the time, and when it was it was pretty subtle. Pretty much what I expected. I may hold off on seeing Episode II again, but Episode III should look incredible in 3D especially the intro.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure all of it was 3d.

He's pro. Mastered Force ghost and then passed on the skill to Yoda. In which Yoda taught it to Obi-Wan

[QUOTE=Mr._N;34705449]Good. He was the worst Jedi ever.[/QUOTE] He's better than 98% of the Jedi council.

As much as I hate the prequels, Obi Wan was good, then again I like anything Ewan McGregor does.

[QUOTE=Aredbomb;34706232]He's better than 98% of the Jedi council.[/QUOTE] You can't say that going out and doing something stupid is better than doing nothing, it's worse because you're probably fucking something up in the worst way possible.

How the fuck do you even pronounce his name? kwi gon?

[QUOTE=imnotBPX;34710495]How the fuck do you even pronounce his name? kwi gon?[/QUOTE] clearly you haven't seen the prequels you only hear his name in them enough to get it down the first try

[QUOTE=Rong;34706193]He's pro. Mastered Force ghost and then passed on the skill to Yoda. In which Yoda taught it to Obi-Wan[/QUOTE] Is that what it's really called?

I didn't realize so much 'fanon' had made it into Canon [url]http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_fanon_elements_in_continuity[/url] The behind the scenes on this one is touching [url]http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R2-KT[/url] Also a List of "C-canon" Stuff put into movies [url]http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_C-canon_elements_in_the_films[/url]

Liam Neeson's so fucking awesome that I've discovered it's impossible to dislike him in anything I see with him Including this movie

So Phantom Menace is now the first Star Wars movie to break 1 billion at the box-office

i hate you george lucas

red tails was better

[QUOTE=Rong;34845390]So Phantom Menace is now the first Star Wars movie to break 1 billion at the box-office[/QUOTE] Wait for the rest of them to come out, they'll top Avatar (I hope).

I can imagine 3-4-5-6 will do the best. I've always found the first two just a tad pointless. We knew Anakin was going to become vader, making us wait three movies for ti was a dirty move Lucas you cad.

3 was as fucking terrible as the others though

[QUOTE=Rusty100;34845718]i hate you george lucas[/QUOTE] What's even better is that this re-release of episode 1 pushes The Dark Knight out of the top 10 highest grossing movies ever.

Considering this is The Phantom Menace's second return to theaters, wouldn't it be a re-re-release?

The latest episode of The Clone Wars was amazing, my favorite yet.

[QUOTE=Pops;34849569]Wait for the rest of them to come out, they'll top Avatar (I hope).[/QUOTE] As an entire franchise, it probably already has. But individual movie wise, I think it's impossible

[QUOTE=postal;34872105]What's even better is that this re-release of episode 1 pushes The Dark Knight out of the top 10 highest grossing movies ever.[/QUOTE] Needs another million yet. I predict an inevitable Dark Knight re-release one day too, so it'll shoot up again.

i'd go to an imax re-release of TDK [editline]26th February 2012[/editline] i will never go to a re-release of a star wars film tho

I'm just not seeing the originals in theaters. George lucas has been raping them since 97 and they're fucking horrible in their current state. Guy fucking hates them because he got pulled aside on the project and told that he was a horrible film maker.

[QUOTE=AutomataReturns;34884479]Not even IV, V, or VI?[/QUOTE] Would rather watch my old VHS tapes than see them in theaters, all of the changes that Lucas made were just ridiculously pointless and make watching through the films a more painful experience than it should be.

I remember a few years ago i saw a star wars fan made movie or series. All i can really remember is that it was about a group of Stormtroopers, just doing their jobs. I can remember at one point they had a snowtrooper inside an AT-AT talking about his job and complaining about the cold. It was a pretty high quality fan made thing. At one point the stormtroopers follow someone into a hanger and they start shooting each other, which i think then resulted in them bringing in an AT-ST. Anyone have any idea what it could be?
