It gets worse and worse. But each time, it’s worse in a different way.
Why are Jedis suddenly also ace pilots? Why droids shoot missiles that explode into smaller droids that try to break your ship, instead of, you know, exploding, and killing you right away?
There’s a weird scene where a hit starship falls down. And everyone in it falls down too. While the former can be explained by the fact that they fight in the atmosphere, there’s no fucking explanation for the latter. Except that Star Wars is just WWII in space.
All those interactions between R2 and other droids would be fun, except Anakin just cut off the hands of an old man, then decapitated him.
You can break a starship glass by throwing… a spear at it?! Sounds dangerous!
Seems like the whole Darth Grievous plotline didn’t have any meaning at all. Him coughing all the time didn’t affect anything, Obi Wan dealt with four lightsabers quite easily, and the whole Darth Sidius vs Mazafaka Jedi encounter happened not because of Grievous being killed, but because Palpatine told to Anakins face that he’s the Sith Lord.
The only good episode is “Order 66”. And it’s just about 5 minutes long. Sending just two clones to kill Yoda, though? I would expect some orbital bombardment. Since when clone is a major treat to a Jedi?
Obi Wan and Yoda fly in and kill clones at the Temple just for the fun of it, it seems, while “investigating stuff”.
Darth Sidius constantly calling Darth Vader “Lord Vader” doesn’t make any sense either. First, he outranks him, Vader is his padawan. And second, there are just two of them at that point!
The whole last half hour is extremely sloppy. Lucas had years to come up with how those different characters ended up where they ended up. And he came up with… nothing. Yoda just declares he’s going into exile. Padme dying without any reason, just “loosing her will to live”. And Death Star already in progress, because? There are no Rebels at that point.
Oh, and Obi Wan can speak with his dead master… Why is that important?
Finally, can we talk about Obi Wan cutting Vader’s arm and both legs with a single hit? And Sidius having the entire Vader’s outfit ready.
