Shit you just can't figure out no matter how much you try to process it.There's so much retarded shit in the Prequels of course, but even taken individually crap like this just blows my mind:https://youtu.be/4ESOrF_u1hg?t=41This scene could have actually been pretty cool - or at least cooler than it was. It should have been, but it's repeatedly undermined by compounding WTF's that are unnecessarily distracting at best and ruin it at worst. Starting with why this presumably trained-from-childhood Jedi faggot just stands there and literally lets Palpatine kill him. That never needed to happen, could have easily been noticed, pointed out, and fixed with minimal effort during any stage of production. So what the fucking hell dude?I didn't like hearing the clicking sound like Palpatine had his lightsabre on some kind of wrist holster like Schultz's concealed pistol in Django Unchained. Seems kind of unnecessary for a Sith who can just Force pull it to his hand from anywhere, but okay, I can see silently pulling it to his hand might not work as well dramatically.Then he does spinning because that's a good trick. That was fine, but he should have shock and awed his first kill with that move instead of landing and then lazily attacking fags with an obvious stab they didn't even try to defend. I've heard some fags try to headcanon this as he's using the Force to fuck with their brains. That's a hard sell and conversely cannot be explained as some 'rule of cool' dramatic move. Would have been cooler if he unexpectedly used Force Lightning from his chair to stun or knock them on their arses first or something with only Mace Windu managing to block it.Any way you cut it we get gyped of the battle promised by the set up. There's just no way to justify that dramatically, which is ultimately worse than not being able to justify it logically.Post examples of shit like this is film and TV more generally.
The way he mindfucks them in the novelization is kino. I think George really struggled with this scene because of the physical limitations with Ian McDiarmid
>>221375276Too long. Didn't read.Stop crying about space wizard movies for 12-year-olds. Stupid faggot.
>>221375322Which is funny because he got it right when he did it the first time. Just don't give Palpatine a lightsaber. He even scoffs at the idea of using one in ROTJ.Imagine if Palpatine just instantly fried those jedi with his lightning with only Windu barely holding on, it would have been 10x more kino than the awkward fight (althought the glass breaking and Palpatice crwaling away from Windu's sabre was based).
>>221375322Mcdiarmid wasn't supposed to do the fight scene at all lol They hired and trained a choreographer
>>221375351This thread is not about that. You didn't have to read very far in to realise that if you're not retarded faggot.
