... went to the gay robot. That's right, C3PO got the last word in Ep 3. Of all the characters in that universe, the final words spoken on screen were "Oh, no" - and they were spoken by the walking pile of hubcap in response to finding out his memory was to be wiped. Of course, that was followed by five minutes of significant glances and the like, so I didn't notice it the first time.

Guess that continues George Lucas' method of, "make the people walk out of the theater at the end of the movie thinking, 'Hmm. It's over? OK, guess we should go now.'"

OK, but to be picky those weren't the last words spoken in the "whole" saga - just the prequels. I think Leia gets the absolute final line doesn't she?

Still,

maybe George Lucas thought Anthony Daniels deserved that honour for spending 6 films cooped up in that suit! I'd actually read an interview where AD commented on having the last line in the prequel and the first line in the original

I mean in the sense that there won't be any more new Star Wars movies, and those were the last words spoken in the final movie of the saga to be released.

I don't necessarily have a problem with the character - certainly not the actor. Just another one of those things that left me thinking, "This could have been done better."

... gay robot ... ?

I don't remember C3PO being particularly festive. If memory serves, he was always sort of nervous, uptight and tetchy. I wouldn't categorize him as gay or happy.

I always thought the last words were spoken by an ewok ... "Who is that fanboy up in the tree with the high-powered rifle and why is he shooting at us?"

"I'm gonna rip you a new puppet hole, bitch!"

Episode 7 could have proved very interesting...

When you think about it, the Sith are once again in control of the galaxy, and the only hope of their defeat has just been born. "Oh, no" seems a pretty fitting sentiment.

Mind you, could make it a bit confusing when you watch the saga as a whole - as to a newcomer (as if!) it could appear that Eps 3 & 4 followed straight on. Guess George will have to add titles to the next DVD release: "20 years later..."

I think what newcomers would most likely be thinking is "What the heck? Did Obi-Wan and Vader both forget how to fight? That's the saddest lightsaber duel in the history of lightsaber duels."
