Originally posted by Josh Bordick, did you get to see it in a Digital Theater?
I did and it was IMPRESSIVE. I've never seen anything quite like it.
It looked like I could dip my head in the screen and look around.
Digital Projection at the Ziegfeld theatre......aka the theatre in NYC where all the butheads are camped out at as we speak to see the thing. So fun walking past them flashing my VIP ticket
The picture quality was insane. especially when Anakin & Obi-Wan return from rescuing Palpy.
Ian McDiarmid is amazing in this one. He's always good, but he's really above and beyond this time.
I love the fatherly way he treats Anakin, how gently, and reasonably he talks to him about the Sith, how he sits with him and really tries to understand his problems and help him.
He makes Anakin think he cares about him... heck, he almost made me t hink he cared about him and that as much as anything is why Ani becomes Darth Vader.
Obi Wan tries to do the same thing for him, but he's always awkward and unsure. He never quite understands how to relate to Anakin, thought it is clear that their relationship is much closer this time around. That final scene where Obi takes off to Mustafar, he tries to tell Anakin how much he cares about him, Anakin tries to tell him the same, but they're both so lost and you just want to scream at the screen: "THIS IS IT!!! You'll never be friends again!"
God that scene really got to me.
The movie makes you wonder things like "What if Windu had taken Anakin with him to fight the Emporer?"
Could it have turned out different? Was that the final thing that pushed Anakin over the edge? Because the beauty of it is, that at the end, I don't think he was really decieved by Palpatine anymore. He started to see him for what he really was... and simply gave up and embraced it. Oh, part of what's pushing him is he agrees with Palps ideology and part is that he wants to save Padme... but also there's this piece of him that just gives up and dies right there when Windu falls.

This movie was all him.....totally sold how much of a true bad ass the emperor is. So good.

Last night I had to go back and watch the scene in A New Hope Where "Ben" is talking about Anakin....it has alot of resonance now.

It might have gone differently in that case........I mean what happened when he just sat there....he thought about....let it dwell. Definitely could've gone the other way.

One big question remains...
If Qui Gonn learned the secret of immortality, why didn't his body dissapear like Yoda and Obi Wans?
Had he not quite perfected it? Is that why we don't see him as a ghost?
That's the only explanation I can think of.
Shame, would have been nice to see Qui Gonn appear at the end... maybe walking beside Obi Wan as he begins his solitude in the desert.
But the great thing is that it explains why Vader looks so surprised when Obi Wan vanishes in A New Hope.
Anakin didn't disapear either, yet he shows up at the end of Jedi.....beats me
my little tift was.....and this gonna sound really stupid....but if Palpatine and Dooku were old coots that could go off with the light sabres and hold their own....how come Obi Wan & Vader couldn't later in life?
