Re: Star Whores: Diverse Agenda
About an hour and 15 minutes in, I've reached the first genuinely good thing about Attack of the Clones, which is Count Dooku of course.
Both Lee and the fans deserved way more Dooku in this trilogy. Forget Maul and his double-bladed show off lightsaber. I don't think even the Clone Wars series realised what a goldmine of a character he is.
I would read the shit out of a whole novel series based on him. Mind you, I checked Wookieepedia - there's not much of him even in the old EU.
Edit: Apparently, Qui-Gon mentioned Obi-Wan to Dooku repeatedly, which means they kept in touch. So much material they could work with...

Though never uttered in any of the movie, I personally find "Sheev" to be a pretty underwhelming first name for the ultimate bad guy.Kugelfisch wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 9:33 pmI guess it's some kind of achievement that after all these years "Shmi" is still the most retarded name in the SW universe, despite very strong competition.
Autism attracts more autism. Sooner or later, an internet nobody will attract the exact kind of fans - and detractors - he deserves.

Speaking of Old Sheev, here's something interesting I found - McDiarmid's original vocal performance of the part, more in line with the holographic Episode V original.VoiceOfReasonPast wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 10:05 pmThough never uttered in any of the movie, I personally find "Sheev" to be a pretty underwhelming first name for the ultimate bad guy.

Anakin straight-up stole 3PO from Lars. There's no way he asked for permission. They weren't even planning to leave until after getting Kenobi's message.

Damn, Anthony Daniels is wasted hardcore in the sequels - he's fucking hilarious in this film.

Also one of the best characters in any Disney movie.

Re: Star Whores: Diverse Agenda
The reason is because there was nothing to his character other than to be the most stereotypical bad guy possible. Compared to him even Darth Maul is interesting.Rushy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 9:43 pmAbout an hour and 15 minutes in, I've reached the first genuinely good thing about Attack of the Clones, which is Count Dooku of course.

They basically hired Christopher Lee to be Space Dracula, except George was unwilling or unable to realize how much of a better concept THAT would've been.

Fuck. they'd be up to Episode 17 by now--and I'd still be watching.]
