- Jar Jar Binks still motherfucking sucks. Holy God.

- I know I'm suppsoed to think that Anakin/Padme is lame as hell, but really, it makes more sense to me than it should

- Anakin is a lot better than I was led to believe, man. Sure, Hayden isn't hte best actor in the world, but there're some pretty amazing bits in there -- the stuff about wisdom and Obi-Wan holding him back, the stuff where he's riding on the little larval-type cow beast, the way he asks Padme about her first kiss (?) and then cuts her off. Sure, there's some stuff to complain about with, but MAN. The seeds are there for total amazing awesomeness.

- Padme/Anakin. Surprisingly interesting. My brain isn't up to processing it more fully than that, but my God, who would've thought that Darth Vader's early-life larval stage had him as such a raging bottom?

- HOLY GOD THAT IS A BUST OF QUI-GON THAT OBI-WAN IS STARING SOULFULLY AT HOLY GOD HOLY GOD HOLY GOD HOLY GOD SO CANON I'M SORRY JESUS CHRIST a;dlfih *BRAIN EXPLODES*

- Note to self: Dooku and Obi-Wan have never met before. There goes 3948203948 of those fic ideas.

- Lucas really got convinced of the power of symbolism, didn't he? There's the scene where Anakin carries his mother's boyd back to the Lars farm, and it's a lovley analogue for when Obi-Wan carries the similarly wrapped-up Luke to those exact same buildings. And I have to admit that I'm fond of the tidea that Padme and Anakin's fates are slowly drawing together -- the first parallelism scene that we see of them is in this movie.

- Dooku rocks. There is just no doubt about it. Taking on his former master? MAN.

TAKING ON FORMER MASTERS IS NOT COOL. :|

:D Man, even Yoda wasn't cold enough to, like, chop off his former apprentice's arms and legs and sleep with his woman.

[babel.livejournal.com]

Um. But. :/

Dooku didn't have a woman. :/

Yoda could have hit on Qui-Gon. Everybody knows that Qui-Gon and Dooku slept together at least a couple times.

[babel.livejournal.com]

Okay. Qui-Gon is 4309284204283 feet tall and Yoda is -3 feet tall. Please do not insinuate such things because they give me mental images and I can never have those brain cells back. AND HE COULDN'T HAVE HIT ON HIM AFTER HE WAS DEAD.

And you SO have no proof that Obi-Wan did any sleeping with Padmé.

[quigonejinn.livejournal.com]

Because, you know. Padme went after Obi-Wan because it was the Right Thing to Do. Not because he was better at giving head than anybody she'd ever met.

And I was talking about before, before, before. Yoda had entire decades to hit on Qui-Gon after Dooku had thrown it to him or whatever, and like.

Lucas is a WONDERFUL director when it comes to visuals. It's just that he can't write dialogue that isn't groanworthy.

HOLY GOD THAT IS A BUST OF QUI-GON THAT OBI-WAN IS STARING SOULFULLY AT

Really? In the library scene? I'll have to rent AotC again, then.

who would've thought that Darth Vader's early-life larval stage had him as such a raging bottom?

Anakin wants someone to love him, to cherish him, and to *tell him what to do*. Notice that when he goes all evil, he keeps offering power to people he loves -- Padme, and then Luke -- on terms which will let him be other than the ruler? He wants to be the Person-in-Charge's right hand, but not the Person-in-Charge himself.

Dooku rocks. There is just no doubt about it. Taking on his former master? MAN

I love that he takes out Obi-Wan and Anakin and almost takes out Yoda before deciding his objectives are met and discretion is the better part of valour. Now if only he had realized that he could have walloped Yoda with the saber instead of politely waiting for Yoda to deflect the crumbled ceiling.

god, i really hate yoda.

... Apparently, it's not. Apparently, it's Dooku, and I'm just a giant plebe who squeals until her eyeballs explode whenever she sees Obi-Wan with that frilly haircut.

And adkgdfh. Dooku is so badass. He really doesn't want to kill the Jedi. He'll do it if he has to, but he really rather would not, and GODDAMN, he is so interesting.

God, how hardcore wouuld it be to do, like, a Jedi/Sith version of Plutarch's Lives? You could do, like, excerpts from the full Lives.

Re: god, i really hate yoda.

Obi-Wan's hair is very pettable in AotC.

Dooku is so badass. He really doesn't want to kill the Jedi. He'll do it if he has to, but he really rather would not, and GODDAMN, he is so interesting.

Yes, he is. But he's "a great-souled man in his utter ruin", if you've read Lois McMasters Bujold?

Plutarch's Lives is the one with all the scurrilous stories about various Roman historical figures, right? Could be fun.
