1. The horrible acting.
2. The horrible script.
3. How Padme seems to have gotten to eight and a half months with twins with absolutely NO pre-natal care. Lady, I know you're doing this whole "secret pregnancy" thing, but you live in a high tech society. See post title. You and everyone you know is referring to your fetuses in the singular right until the actual moment you give birth, and it is absolutely ridiculous.
4. Why no one ever listens to Yoda's advice.
5. How we are expected to have never seen the original trilogy and be so damn surprised when Palpatine is the emperor or Padme gives birth to twins, when the surprise element of the original trilogy relies on having never seen the new trilogy.
- Darth Vader is Luke's father.
- Leia is Luke's twin sister.
- This isn't spoilers, you should just know this already.
7. No Mark Hamill.
8. No Carrie Fisher.
9. No one in these movies is even trying to act besides Ewan McGregor. Also possibly Liam Neeson. Natalie Portman, I thought you were nominated for an Oscar once upon a time! Like really, Obi-Wan Kenobi is the only character in this movie who emotes in a believable way.
10. Jar Jar Binks. Full stop.
(I love Star Wars. But I'm watching a marathon of the new trilogy and just kind of picking it apart.)
The only thing I found really worth while in the new trilogy was watching Liam while his character was alive, and giggling like an idiot when we confirmed that, yes, Quinlan Vos IS actually sitting at the table with Sebulba.
ReplyDeleteQuinlan Vos was trying to rig the race and get Sebulba to kill Anakin. If he'd succeeded, we could have avoided all this trouble.
