If I ever watch it, I don't watch it on purpose. All I know is that much of the 'new' Star Wars has systematically destroyed anything that was good, or could have been good. I lost interest with it all during that whole Phantom Menace thing..  I have it one more shot during Revenge of the Sith because I wanted to see General Grievous in his full CGI glory - but alas, dissapointed.

Their complete re-write of General Grievous was an utter shame, they would have had a much larger fan following behind him if they kept him at the level of calm and coolness that he expressed in his very first debut during the original animated version of the Clone Wars.

The team who put this character together were on the right track, but whoever decided to turn him into a cowardness push-over, along with the ENTIRE droid army of Clone Wars single handedly took away any real grittiness from the Clone Wars portion of the story. Now if just feels like an afterschool special, where you hero is about as involving as Teddy Ruxpin.

General Grievous is a perfect embodiment of my issue with Star Wars at present. When we look at him, we see all the potential for a really very good and memorable character. A lot of work when into his design and function, and his concept is as solid as a rock. The fans of Star Wars, those who made the Clone Wars animation, always make Star Wars more than it really is. They turn it, and the characters into what they really want. But the sad fact is, Star Wars itself just isn't very entertaining, and whole new Clone Wars in CGI is mainly an entertaining element for young children who don't know better.

Just Observe Grevious, and see how much better he is when taken out of context from the film and also were you do not have to listen to his voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WYefRHhps4

In the end, whatever New Hope Star Wars embodied in the beginning has long died, killed by the very hands which accidently uncovered it.

One last look at the Grievous we should know and love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_D2hSmFJ7Y

Yeah I really can't remember lol. But my dad told me two things: A) that I was afraid of Darth Vader when I was a kid and (about VI) One time I went up to my mom and started flicking my hands at her and making hissing noises. She got it right away that I was force zapping her lol. I don't remember either of those things lol >.>

I didn't see Clone Wars, mainly because I don't care about cartoon knock-off's and the previews looked pretty weak.

And how old are you?

I was seven years old when Star Wars first came out. It shaped my entire personality. I make my living making video games, today, because of the awe I felt watching Star Wars.

I own it (the ORIGINAL, uncut, unedited, un-screwed-up version!), so between that and theaters... well, you can see a movie a lot of times in thirty years!

The new movies and the "extended universe" and kids too young to remember what it was like to see Star Wars when it was the only thing of its kind just make me shake my head (and vomit, just a little).

The fact that someone could think that Star Wars was ruined by the new movies because they didn't do GENERAL GRIEVOUS justice just boggles my little mind. Sure, those movies ruined C3-PO, Darth Vader, Luke and Leia's parents, and the FORCE, but they just went too far when they messed with General what's-his-face. I mean, he was in a cartoon!

You'll have to forgive us old farts who view the original trilogy as a life-changing experience, but anything not on those six hours of film isn't Star Wars.

Rhedd_V, I said General Grievous was an embodiment of my dissapoint for the state of the series. He's a good idea ruined and torn apart the more he is worked on by George and crew.. His FIRST appearance was awesome and remarkable, much like the original Star Wars and the two films which followed it; however, latter end tweaks to make it more kind friendly (dumbed down) just brought down the whole. I never said I didn't like Star Wars anymore before they ruined him, I just feel is a perfect metaphor for Star Wars as a whole.

Well, like so many things these days, it is more glitz than substance.

The thing that really dissapointed me about episodes 1, 2 and 3 was the apparent higher level of technology compared to the first trilogy. I understand that more things are possible through CG these days, but that should not have been the deciding factor in making the new movies. I think the new should have had the same feel, but slightly older and less advanced than the originals.

Zubaz, yes, those were the days all right. That was the hottest thing ever to hit a theater. I still remember the feeling of vertigo the first time the Falcon went to light-speed on the big screen. I also remember waiting in line for 2 hours with my wife, watching the movie, then getting back in line for another hour to see it again. That happened on more than one occasion.

Over 100 I would think....

I like the origional three - wasn't born when they came out - but i must have seen a new hope at least 30 times

I also liked episode one because it was imaginative so i was able to forgive some of it's faults (some poor dialog choices) but i could not forgive jar-jar. And of coarse i went in to see episode 2- the clones were pretty cool (CGI made them look way more awsome then stormtroopers) but i was disgusted about 5 minuits into the film at the horrenous dialog and knew that the movie's only good part would be the clones. I Do not like what lucas did with the movie series, he's not a good writer, he came up with a great idea and won't stop whoring it out.

Actually, Lucas didn't write all of it. He's hired several writers over the years.

Here's a trivia question.

In which episode, and which scene, did Solo cop a feel of Leah's breast?

Nope, but close. (at least, not what I noticed)

Look just before that, when Leah was shot in the arm. She has a small flame on her shoulder.

Han puts out the flame, then lowers his hand to her breast. The whole thing takes place in about a second.

I'll have to watch it again at the place you mentioned to see if it happened a second time.

well, I knew it was in front of the blast door - while trying to hotwire it etc...!!!
