Has anyone else read these curious post-Jedi books, what did u think? I'm afraid Death Stars shaped like lightsabres proved too much for me

i read the timothy zahn book Heir to the Empire...i must agree it was dire reading...probably the worst book i have ever read...

[Kujo]

Yeah - a Star Wars book without any kind of 'war', though i must say Zahn's books where probably the best of the ones i read - though that hardly says much for the others...

That scene where he greets Padme after crash landing the ship, well I heard a big "RIP!"...

...cause he ripped a page outta Pitt's acting book.

So yes, I noticed it as well.

[Cubb]

Thankyou! I knew someone else must have noticed it!

I'm jumping a little late on this one... WARNING - SPOILERS

Seen it 2 times, and oh boy... I have no words to describe such a excellent movie (IMHO). Absolutelly fantastic. For me is the best of all 6 (yes, for ME, you don't have to agree so don't damn me )

Hayden's acting is awesome (and also fuck... he's hot, but that's abother story...)

Let's start some debate here....

Point 1: one missing thing, who the fuck is Syfo Dias (the Jedi that ordered the clones)?? There's no mention on him, meaning we don't know who he is. My theory: Count Dooku using another Jedi name after he (Dooku) left the order.


Some high points

* The final scene is brilliant: that image of the death star being build made my blood freeze - absolutelly great

*Anakin talking with Palpatine after killing Windu, crying, kneelled, saying "Yes, my master" - Oh god - no words for that

* Anakin killing the padawans -? - Didn't thought he would dare

* Ani Vs Obi - "I HATE YOU!!" - MEMORABLE

* Obi: "You were the chosen one! - his face showing pain and deception speaks for itself

* Anakin entering the Jedi temple followed by the clones - makes you wanna join the Sith - it's impressive and top class

* Jedi's dying, specially Aylaa Secura - froze me seeing her fall and being dead and the clones continue shooting. Mundi's (the one with long face) surprised face - makes you sad

* Dooku's face when Palpatine tells Anakin "Kill him", like saying "WTF??!! I'm your apprentice!"

* Palapatine telling anakin the story of his master and the midiclorians - what a twisted fucker! he easily bought him!

* Anakin's face - half sad, half angry, thinking what to do - Hayden proved to be an excellent actor and that he deserved the role of Vader.

* First Vader breath: magnificent!!!!

ok, this went long, but what can you expect from a SW fan??

Indeed

I though that but it can't be - Yoda knew of Dooku and a master Syfo Dias (conversation between Obi wan on Genosis and Yoda in the council) - so they have to be different people

Is it possible Darth Maul was Syfo Dias? Maybe that was makeup he was wearing or had been disfigured and thus wasn't recognised by Qui quon?

It is somewhat confusing - Lucas loves to leave holes in his work

what I mean is that Dooku posed as Syfo Dias -
Remmeber that Tawn We (kamino cloner) said to Obi "Tell your master Syfo Dias that we are on schedule", and later on Obi asks Jango when Syfo contacted him and Jango replies "I don't know anyone called like that (or so). I was hired by someone called Tyranus (Sith name of Dooku)

Syfo Dias was a Jedi that died around the time of Qui Gon's death or earlier (Remember Obi saying "I had the impression master Syfo Dias died before" (or sth similar).

Extra: about errors: I don't care about the "errors" - I have an explanation for all of the except 1 (not mentioned in this thread before)

When Obi gives Luke the lightsaber, he says "Your father wanted you to have it" - we all know that is not true, my explanation would be that Obi lied to Luke not to hurt him (u know... dude, your dad is a bad ass called Vader - no way he could tell him that, so he chose to lie). The inexplicable error is:

EP3: Obi Vs Ani, both have BLUE Lightsabers. After Ani is defeated Obi picks Ani's LS and walks away... 20 years later we see Obi giving Luke anakin's lightsaber and is *mistery music* GREEN.


ps: love a SW debate

Its only green for 1 second when activated on the Falcon - its blue the rest of the time Its just an error when they coloured them in (they were just glass poles and then in post production they added colour - thats why Vader's lightsaber is seen as white in the video release after he kills Obi Wan)

but I mean when Obi gives Luke the LS in the Larrrs' farm (remmeber Luke examinating it)

No, thats blue, maybe u have a dud version - too much watching! Its a very very pale blue in those scenes, virtually white

It does go green briefly while on the Falcon but its blue the rest of the time.

Okay, if i have time i'll slap on the DVD - the bit in Obi Wan's hut right? 'Your father wanted u to have this' - i'll check it out, but i have now watched the film so many times (in the last month alone!) - i notice these things, i'll be astounded if i've missed it.

exactly that scene - I have the sets of DVDs that in ep 6 has Hayden's image instead of the original dude

I don't know about the edited to death DVDs, but the original VHS tape has a blue lightsaber when Luke first receives it on Tatooine.
