Perhaps you mean mute those scenes. Natalie Portman is hott. Episode II had her in a backless dress and tattered clothing. How can you not watch those scenes?
She's a great actress too. I believe 100% that the dialogue is what killed her character.
Besides the action wasn't even that great in Episode II & III. I mean in Episode I they have the ultimate lightsaber duel. Maul vs. Obiwan was awesome. In II you get Anakin and Duko's facial expressions while some lights splash around and then cgi yoda jumping all over. In III you get more of the cgi fight scenes and the ridiculous fight between obiwan and anakin. I mean they could not have done anything more rediculous in that fight. I mean they were fighting while dancing on droid's heads, fighting while falling off cliffs, fighting while standing on their heads and holding their lightsabers between their toes, etc. It was more funny than intense.
*takes a deep breath*
Has anyone read Timothy Zahn's trilogy that took place shortly after the movies? Now that's good Star Wars.
Hot she is, but I simply cannot bear to watch those overly sappy soap opera loves scenes. I know it's an important part of the story, but they could have done it better, plus have a better Anakin.

The first 3 yes. My friend got me a copy of SW3 before it came out in the theater still in it's edited stage (she knows people) and it's the first time I saw it. I only saw the first 2 in the theater, and the fight scene at the end was so badly done and over the top I couldn't believe I was watching the same franchise, then Obi Wan begins to cry about Anakin being the chosen one? He was like a brother? He loved him? First, way to go letting your emotions get to you Jedi Master, and second, the mans mauled, broken, beaten and bloody and you just WALK AWAY AND LET HIM SUFFER? A Jedi, a TRUE Jedi would have put the man out of his misery. But you walk away? I was already losing my sense of belief in the beggining of the movie (ah hell since the first movie. young Annie *whoopee*) but this left a bad taste in my mouth and I just wanted it to be over with. I would have felt more believability with that one scene if Annikin fell off the cliff and slid partially into the lava, unconcious, and out of Obi Wan's site, Ben looking over the edge screaming Annikin's name, getting no responce, thought he was dead and THEN walked away crying. That, THAT would have at least saved some of my respect for the movie, but the way he left Annikin to suffer, that isn't in the Jedi code.
And don't get me started on FrankenDarth. If I were James I would have said "Are you fuckin' crazy man? You want me to say what?"
There are only 3, and they ain't the first ones. Luke all the way and the badass Mother that was Vader.
If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

Or if Anakin had had any kind of epiphany, realizing that he'd been played --that all the Jedi had been manipulated-- his every action, every thought orchestrated by Palpatine since the day before he left Tatooine. He reveals this to Obi-Wan, hands over his saber, then tries to break the cycle, hurling himself off the ledge to his doom. . .
(And, of course, if we were never explicitly told that Anakin becomes Vader, and were instead allowed to think [for now] that Anakin died in one last attempt to be a hero.)

The only characters I really liked on the Jedi side were Mace Windu and that really cone-headed Jedi. They played their roles well and you could actually respect them. Obi-Wan was honestly a real wuss compared to the original one, and for a Jedi really got his ass handed to him too many times.
I agree about the ending part and Obi-Wan not having mercy for Anakin. As we saw in the ending of Shindig, "Mercy is the mark of a great man." Not only did Obi-Wan leave Anakin for a painful death, he left him humiliated by refusing to spill his blood. To me this is just as bad as Mal letting Atherton live was good. I mean both arms and legs cut off, what's left of your body completely burned with the little nubs left of your legs on fire, talk about a bad hair day.

This is worse then 'The Last Jedi', even the access critics are catching Hell. You know it's bad when the access critics go on defense.

I'm more surprised to find out that we have witches in Star Wars now than to find out we've got lesbians in Star Wars.
I wonder how many of those greasy goblins in charge of Star Wars fantasize about fucking Ewoks. I bet you could dig up fanfic they wrote on some blog somewhere where they were having orgies with C3PO and that dude from Jabba's palace with the tentacles on his head.
Degenerates.

Star Wars Has Lost Its Sense of Spectacle
The Acolyte is yet another example of how flat the franchise has become.
By Geoffrey Bunting | June 22, 2024 5:50 AM
I can still remember, in vivid detail, watching X-wings tumble into the Death Star’s trench, among other iconic moments that have stayed with me. Mileage will vary on what Star Wars’ most memorable scenes are, but what unifies so many of them is a startling sense of spectacle that imprints itself on the brain.
Trying the same exercise with Disney+’s slate of Star Wars series, I’m unable to call anything to mind. Ask me to recall what happened during The Book of Boba Fett, or anything from Ahsoka, and I’m at a loss. The visual buzz that made Star Wars memorable is gone, replaced by an evocation of Star Wars through a rotating inventory of recognizable elements — lightsabers, X-wings, and knockoff Boba Fetts — and mere reference, in lieu of cinematic magic. There’s simply nothing in these shows that captures the visual intoxication that comes from Star Wars’ unbridled brilliance.
To be fair, there’s a lot to celebrate in Disney+’s new series. The Acolyte pushes back against the binary of “good versus evil” that defines so much of Star Wars, even if it falls short of making that truly narratively compelling. The show’s costume design, production, and hair and makeup are also exemplary, creating a beautiful—if at times unconvincing—facsimile of Star Wars befitting the series’ staggering $180 million budget. Yet, in relegating Star Wars to the small screen, it feels like the ambition has been sucked out of the franchise. The rendering of the Star Wars universe is no longer a fantastical escape but an uncanny valley that fails to iterate upon, or innovate, the visual identity that makes Star Wars so recognizable.
We know Star Wars can thrive on TV—case in point: Andor, a series that not only expanded the narrative potential of the franchise, but was also visually memorable, thanks to filming on location and art direction set down in Rogue One. The real issue is that Star Wars needs to rediscover its energy and show us just how much can be done on the small screen—much as Lucas, for better or worse, persistently pushed the envelope in what could be achieved visually on the big screen. Sometimes you just need to see a honking-big spaceship do something weird, or lasers whiz across the screen until nothing else can be seen. Lucas thrived on making kids exclaim “cooooool” under their breath; those moments stayed with us across decades, even now inviting us to experience them one more time with a well-timed rewatch.

Racist.
It's got gay witches in it. Star Wars wasn't anything worth watching before the gay witches.

Everytime I feel like to dismiss Star Wars
maybe even read articles to say its all over and bash it
I realize how much movie magic the originals had
an English actor delivered a very physical role, bodybuilder, strongman and weightlifter portrayed Darth Vader voiced by American actor James Earl Jones, it would have been a weird England Scotland Bristol voice?
