why didnt anakin and obi wan use the force to make those dinky little handcuffs just pop off

why didnt obi wan use the force to levitate himself out of the reactor tunnel thing and also grab his lightsaber, a few scenes prior he uses the force to jump hundreds of feet into the air

why does yoda have so much trouble stopping those chair discs the emperor throws at him? in the second movie he easily lifts and moves house-sized rocks with his mind

To prove the OP's point: The best thing about Star Wars is Palpatine/Sidious/The Emperor.

The story is about him, after all.

TPM features Palpatine more than any other movie, by far.

Ergo, the best Star Wars movie.

Good writing should reflect the times. If Anakin were paranoid that padme was going to cuck him, it would have been far more believable, and given his character, it would have even drawn parallels between him and elliot rodgers. Imagine if the space opera scene where palpatine first starts to corrupt him, he handed him a book on dating advice.

In the ROTS novelization, on top of Anakin having the dumb dream premonition of Padme dying of something that should be a complete non-issue in sci fi space magic land, he totally suspects that she is cucking him and Obi-Wan is the twins' dad.

It's not real, Obi Wan makes no moves on Padme whatsoever. But Palpatine puts the idea in Anakin's head and you can tell it's a factor in all that goes down at the end.

It's still hinted at in the movies, with Anakin's visit with Padme after killing a bunch of Jedi (not a spot of blood!).

oh yeah i know all that, but it's still overkill and doesn't really add anything to the story IMO

it was a good idea to cut most of it from the movie

Why did Anakin stayed on Mustafa after slaughtering everyone there?


Why did Padme go to Mustafa to argue with Anakin? How did she know he was going to stay there for a while? What if Anakin had to book it elsewhere to do his evil sith deeds and Padme arrived at Mustafa? This is like going to Afghanistan to slaughter important people there and then your wife flies there to argue with you about how you've been a bad boy lately. Why? Why? WHY?


Why didn't Padme just wait for Anakin to come home and THEN argue with him?


Why the gently caress would Anakin try to jump over Obi Wang Kenobi? Why not just run up to him? Why?


Why did Anakin choked his wife? I get it you are angry and all sithy, but did you have to choke your wife like that? Not evem trailer trash wife beaters choke their wives like that. Punch them, yes, throw things at them, yes, but not choke them.

How did Obi wan and Padme betrayed Anakin? Why are the Jedi are evil according to Anakin's view? Wan't he motivated by the power of the dark side to save his wife? So why does he care who is good or bad? Why?


Why the gently caress Obi wan have no problem working with a clone army cloned after an assassin that tried to kill him and Padme? Why?


Why didn't the clone gunship just shoot oval office Dookie's speeder with the pew pew laser instead of missiles?

Woof!

    1. Return of the Jedi is objectively the best star wars because it has the biggest and best space battle. Also the speeder bike part was rad and it has a good light saber fight. Ewoks dumb but who cares, the scenes with Jabba and the rancor are pretty sweet.

    2. New Hope is good, space battle was pretty dope. Infiltrating a space station, lots of stormtroopers, i can dig it. No speeder bike scene but the trench run is pretty close.

    3. Empire doesn't really have a space battle so it's worse than the first but is still better than Phantom because the Hoth scene and it's mostly Han loving around with the Falcon which is ok. Best light saber battle though.

    4. Phantom has the best speeder bike scene but the space battle is lame and further ruined by the kid. Light saber scene is flashy but kinda stupid.

    5. The third prequel had a big land battle scene I seem to recall, but it was just a steaming mess. All the light saber poo poo was awful and jesus now I'm remember the yoda fight which is really terrible and dumb. Was there even a space battle? No speeder bike, instead we get a dumb lizard. Bad movie.

    6. I don't remember the second prequel's name or anything else besides the extremely terrible romantic scene and I think sand people kill Anakin's mom in it. Obi-Wan is in it too but I don't remember what he was doing but he was really stupid and completely boring. That said I do remember laughing out loud in the theater at the embarrassingly awful love scene and it really upset some fat woman sitting a few rows ahead of me and she would glare at me which was kinda funny so maybe I'd rank it higher than the third prequel.

Really none of the other movies actually come close to being as good as Return of the Jedi but the other originals are still fun. Phantom, while being mostly bad and boring, was so much better than the other two prequels. I mean you can disagree with me and all but if you're watching a movie called Star Wars and you think the movie with the character development is better than the one with super star destroyers I'll think you're pretty dumb.
