DAD, DARTH VADER IS TRYING TO IMPEACH ON MY VIRTUE.  


A+

IN GENERAL:

- The more I think about it, the more I like the news-reel introduction/voiceover.

- I liked the huttlet. At least it's not an eopie farting. At least it's not an eopie farting.

- Upper Coruscant, jazz, and Padme. I felt like I was 14 again, watching my first SW movie ever, and thinking, "Hey, I like that senator and her midriff." Oh Padme. I really missed being your fan. Polly: I watched this scene, wiped the pee off my seat, and thought of you. Tenderly.

I hope we get to see more of Coruscant in the series. Just the detail of the sign outside Zero's place was neat. I wanted Threepio to be the one shooting up the place; I was disappointed when the clones came in.

- The music was great. Jazz, tribal, rock, all in one Stra Wras movie.

AHSOKA AND ANAKIN:

- Teach Anakin about attachments. Okay. Yoda, you're like one of those dads who buys his 5-year-old daughter a pony to teach her about responsibility. Someone is going to starve or get trampled.

- SHE IS GOING TO DIE. When it happens, and Anakin goes batshit (did you see how he almost killed Jabba? He's known this girl for like two days), I'm going to be very sad. I love her.

- Ahsoka's "LOL WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU ON TATOOINE, MASTER?" tomfoolery made up for calling Artoo "Artooey." Clean up your act young lady~

- What was she wearing behind her... headpiece? Is that what non-human Padawans use for Padawan braids?

OBI-WAN:

- When he did that... twirl... thing... to Yoda, Michelle and I both completely lost it. HE DOESN'T ENJOY THE COMPANY OF WOMEN.

- He had a tea party

- A fucking tea party, you guys

- Rex said, "I hope [Anakin and Ahsoka] make it." He was referring to them as a team, right? Because then Obi-Wan totally disregarded any thought to the partnership, just the mission, and Rex gave him the dirtiest look. Obi-Wan is a jerk. <3

- When he man-handled the Separatist general? Dayyyyyyyyyum.

- In conclusion: he likes men.

NIC SHUT UP:

- The animation was awkward. No one could fold their arms over their chest. No one could move their hands around without looking drunk. Anakin had no facial animation.

- The character design was... weird. The stylized ones were great, but others like Mace and some of the admirals were too realistic for something that wasn't supposed to feel like it. They just didn't match.

- I love Ahsoka's design. Red clothes + green lightsaber, orange skin + blue eyes. That's a really good use of color to make her pop out, wherever she is, no matter how much the haters want to squint their eyes and pretend she's not there.

- Palpatine was modeled as a vulture. Cool.

- Two kids from my school did storyboards. This helps make sense of the "THIS IS PADME'S ASS" shots. You're welcome, Polly.

- The monastery environment was gorgeous -- everything about it.

Also: Palpatine was checking out Obi-Wan in the hologram.

It's now 3:30am, I am going to bed.

Do you have a Plan B?: Obi-Wan--CW General Kenobi[info]temple_mistress on August 15th, 2008 01:51 pm (UTC)
Obi-Wan HAS A TEA PARTY. And the snark, omg the snark.

Also, Sarah and I were like "OMG IT IS NINJA-WAN!" when Obi-Wan started dropping in out of nowhere and doing his Jedi shit all over their asses. Also, his LOL when Anakin's all "THIS WAS SO YOUR IDEA" was epic.

As for Padme? Clearly, she wears no underwear. HELLO GRATUITOUS ASS SHOTS. She was surprisingly awesome and didn't make me go "WTF IS SHE DOING IN THIS MOVIE". Except for her "OMG? ANAKIN? IN DANGERRRR??" moment.

And Ziro? WTF KIND OF ACCENT WAS THAT? It was like gay (er?) Kevin Spacey meets New Orleans. Can you imagine if Obi-Wan had been sent to negotiate that??

I also love that Anakin proved us right--first, HE LEAVES HER TO FACE VENTRESS ALONE, THEN LEAVES HER TO FIGHT THREE MAGNA GUARDS ALONE--WITH A HUTT ON HER BACK. ALSO, HE NEVER FED HER.

ALSO HE NEVER FED HER.

L-LOL!

OH PLEASE

THAT'S WHAT CLONES ARE FOR
guernica[info]niicoly on August 17th, 2008 07:25 am (UTC)
I LOVED THAT SHIT. AND WHEN HE STARTED THROWING THE TABLE AND ROCKS AND EVERYTHING AROUND.

ANAKIN? IN DANGER? NO THIS NEVER HAPPENS. PADME MAKES HIM WEAR BAND-AIDS FOR PAPER-CUTS. AND HANGNAILS.

NO DUDE, YOU'RE WRONG. HE DIDN'T LEAVE HER ALONE WITH VENTRESS. HE JUMPED ONTO A BUG, FLEW OFF, AND *THEN* LEFT HER WITH VENTRESS.
Fuck. Yo. Couch.: Obi-Wan/Anakin[info]ms_erupt on August 15th, 2008 04:19 pm (UTC)
In conclusion: he likes men.

THIS IS ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW. THX.

DARTH NICKELS: anakin and padme FIIIIIIIIGHT[info]polly_moopers on August 15th, 2008 06:37 pm (UTC)
OH MY GOD AT FIRST I WAS LIKE, "WOW, THANK YOU GOD FOR THESE PADME BOOTY SHOTS" BUT THEN THEY KEPT COMING AND YOU KNOW ME, I KEPT COMING, AND IT WAS GOOD. SHE PUNCHED A DROID ASSASSIN IN THE FACE ADSLKFJSDFISEJUTIO4WYHJUIOSDFGSGKL

DEAR JESUS GOD OBI-WAN, WHEN HE AND ANAKIN MET BACK UP AT THE END AND THEY SHARED THAT LOOK I WANTED AHSOKA TO BE LIKE "UH, ANAKIN, IS THAT THING WITH PADME JUST A COVER OR WHAT? NOW I'M CONFUSED"

ALSO, VENTRESS TEARING OFF HER SKIRT AND THROWING IT AT OBI-WAN? SORRY, BB, HE LIKES MEN.

LOL YODA. "SUFFER, ANAKIN MUST! BUILD CHARACTER, IT WILL!" AND YOU ARE SHOCKED WHEN HE FLIPS OUT AND KILLS URRBODY
guernica[info]niicoly on August 17th, 2008 07:41 am (UTC)

"DON'T TOUCH THAT! PLEASE! WHATEVER YOU DO!"

If it was the Thunderbirds marionette effect that Lucas was going after for the faces, he succeeded because I recall laughing uproariously, even at age 11 or so, at the characters' eyebrows that were supposed to convey emotion and the visible strings and the way that they walked.

I liked the storyline a lot, have just heard that it was 3 eps tied together, oh well. Padme contributed nicely and as for Ziro/Truman Capote, he was a riot. The mauve backgrounds made for a truly alien appearance overall; the action blew me away because it was like a comic book, but better, with more frames (or pixels, whatever.) And the teaparty with the warthog, perfect. Hope to see more of Ahsoka's attempts to learn more about her new Master. Maybe she'll use those chemical-sensing mondrals of hers to sniff his pheromones?

You're the second person I've seen make reference to the Thunderbirds! Makes me wonder if it was indeed intentional.

About 15 minutes in, I thought, "This is the best action in SW I've seen." I think it ties with the (space) Battle of Endor.

Ahsoka is a very introspective girl. She's... gonna figure out something, soon.
oh gallant piglet,: rotta[info]aizome on August 17th, 2008 02:11 am (UTC)
I did love it, like you said I would. :D

Was a little surprised Ahsoka didn't die in this one, but glad, too (even though yeah, I know she will eventually). I can't be too picky on animation because CG has never been something I've possessed any skill for, but I guess I wasn't expecting it to be stellar. I do agree with the differences between how Windu was done, over say, Dooku.

That baby booger. LOL I want a plush of him. AND I'M SUDDENLY OUT OF WORDS BUT I GIVE IT TWO THUMBS UP.
guernica[info]niicoly on August 17th, 2008 07:56 am (UTC)
LOL OH GOD

So um. You saw me say that I wasn't going to buy the book, right? Well, I read the last page at the airport. And I saw Ahsoka all alive and stuff. So I was cool.

It's a series, so the CG stuff can still be fixed in further episodes.

BABY BOOGER. Perfect description.

Baby Booger will get up yer nose no matter what. :X
