I agree with what he says about Yoda lol.he either should have won fights quickly with the lightsaber, used other means of fighting in addition to the lightsaber, or have been like a Mr.Miyagi type of character who trained people in the force and only the force, it would have made him seem more like a sage type character rather than have him jump around all the time. He should have been like a pacifist as portrayed in the original trilogy.
Doku defeats obiwan and skywalker without breaking a sweat, then goes toe to toe with Yoda (the most powerful jedi in the galaxy) and survives. Only to have his ass handed to him by Darth retard in ep 3... Ridiculous..

the thing is that yoda's lightsaber form was ataru which is force based and acrobatics based where as dooku's lightsaber form is makashi and thats like fencing and in fencing you dont jump around, heck dooku goes as far as to not use the other hand while wieldin the lightsabe bc he is a master of makashi
Whoa, wait a minute, how does a single, MINUSCULE PLANET pull several MASSIVE STARS in an area towards a certain spot? Isn't it the other way around? Or am I misinformed?
Just like you said about the fucking lightsabers....ENOUGH with the fucking kidnapped women! It went from being funny to just gettin' old and now it is just disturbing.
6:21 That kid, is actually a pretty damn good actor for his age. Watch the behind the scenes of Phantom Menace to see how he blows the current Annie out of the water. He's not unbelievably good or anything, but he was definitely their best candidate casting-wise. I'll never know why they didn't choose him instead.
Yoda didn't even teach Luke with a lightsaber, so the idea that Obi-Wan got the idea to train Luke in this way is just dumb. Besides, doesn't Obi-Wan have his own training guide for Luke?
I've liked all the reviews so far... but the light saber argument kinda sux. If this guy actually knew the parallels he would be singing a different tune. Jedi were modeled more after samurai than knights, ALL samurai carried their weapons at all times and used them frequently, like the jedi. Also, yoda wasan ataru master, dooku was a makashi master. They are different styles. Asking why dooku wasnt jumping is like asking why a boxer doesnt kick! Just Sayin...
@eyeofodin01 Well, as true as that might be, the samurai were trying to protect people/assasinate baddies/just be armed and ready/etc. Basically like people with guns in Texas, or soldiers in Iraq. Lucas was attempting to produce a story, which means he has to choose a context. He can either treat lightsabers like Texas guns, or make them look cool by keeping low numbers. Lucas appears to do the latter, but has too many lightsabers for that context to work.
@Mynameis708 From what I gather, the rattings of movies are centered more around blood, nudity, and language. All of those things (while I agree are not for children) are...let's say not extreme in any of those things. They are things that kids won't even think about, because they don't get it. So because of that, they got the PG rating. I bet they were close to a PG-13 rating though.
@LobsterPotsticker It actually is more scaring. Nobodies going to go use a lightsaber to kill somebody after seeing a movie like these, but once the pandoras box of sexuality is opened to a child it can't be closed.
If Yoda really needed to be in any form of combat, he should have just disarmed Dooku with the Force. That's the kind of thing you'd expect from the little guy in Episode V, after all.
1. While I watched this, a commercial of some shitty Clone Wars show for Cartoon Network started playing and I wanted to shoot myself.
2. I always thought why the fuck the kids had the light sabers too. It irked me. I guess 'cause you need to learn how to properly wield the sword so you don't fuck up and die by your own hand, but teaching babies in a tight space killed me.
I think that George kinda just died and he had some fucked up clone 'cause he thought he was like Walt Disney or some shi
I wonder why Lucas keeps mispronouncing the names of the things that he made up.
He calls Gungans "Goongas." If he wanted them called "Goongas," why didn't he just call them that instead of mispronouncing it all the time? He also calls Lando Calrissian "Lando Clarissian" and lightsaber "laser sword." I've never heard any other film creator pronounce the things s/he made up differently than how they are in the films.
Maybe. He's always saying, "They're my movies," but of all the 28 people who won 31 Oscars for their work on the Original Trilogy films, Lucas was not one of them. And the prequels won no Oscars at all.
Doesn't excuse sloppy pronunciation, though. Maybe he's just sick of Star Wars and couldn't care less if he names things correctly. Well no, because he's still doing the special editions--ah, f--- it.
@Hatake0217 Why? Simply because it looks cool? I'm not personally attacking you, I genuinely want to know why you think it works in the film other than being flashy eye-candy.
I have been trying to figure that out for, like, a year. If you happen to find out, please inform me as well. I know that it's an instrumental to some rap song. If you're willing to flip through rap instrumentals to find it, go ahead. I know a lot of his background musics are rap instrumentals by artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog etc.
Okay, I can understand Yoda not being able to defeat the Emperor, but he should have at least been able to defeat Count Dooku! This fact just emphasizes the notion that the prequels go against everything taught in the originals. "Size matters not" - unless you're fighting Count Dooku or the Emperor or a Clone Trooper or anyone else.
@Altelier Not only that, but "laser" is an acronym. They explain how the phrase "sitting ducks" makes sense in the Star Wars universe by showing ducks in a pond (or river or whatever) in TPM. But why does Anakin use the term "laser sword?" We can understand use of words like "ion" or "photon" because they're not acronyms. By the way, there actually is such a thing as an ion engine. Sometimes life really does imitate art.
Shortly before count Dooku manages to escape he tries to kill Obi-Wan and Anakin with a massive metal column, which Yoda stops using the force. I wondered even the first time I watched it - why didn't he just pull their bodies out of danger or - you know - push the column on his own a little, so it falls several steps behind them.
But the line that killed it all was count Dooku's: "It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge with the Force, but by our skills with the lightsaber."
Wha..? I always thought the saber skills depended on one's understanding of the Force?!
@TimThomason Also, the only reason he was on Tatooine in the first place was to look after Luke and eventually *train him as a Jedi*. It makes sense that he might have brought some tools along for that.
The only thing i disagree with is the yoda fighting scene .Yes he is smaller,yes he jumps a lot and yes it must be tiring but he is a master jedi even if he is tired he uses the force ,ok! HE IS A MASTER JEDI !!!Anyway great review.:)
Completely agreed on the analysis of Yoda and what makes him special.
However, there is one thing not factored in. The rule of cool. The idea the most badass Jedi around finally whipping out his lightsaber and showing what he can do is pure, raw AWESOME. Despite the way he acted like a hyper-active jedi monkey in the fight - watching him walk into the battle against Dooku is still one of the highest points of excited anticipation I've felt in movies. The fight's style is the flaw.
@Stairc I'll admit it was exciting for me too, when I was like 10. But Yoda wasn't a "badass" character because he could fight.... he wasn't like chuck norris or indiana jones. He was badass like Mr. Miyagi. Yoda had a greater understanding of life and he made it a major part of Luke's training that the Force was not about physical strength. So whether it was exciting or not (which is was) Plinkett is saying that ultimately it ruined Yoda's character entirely and everything he stood for.
@michaelandjennyshow I disagree that it ruins Yoda's character, what damages the character is his lack of insight or wisdom - especially in the third movie. If you recall, even in the Empire Strikes Back - Yoda was built up as a great warrior.
It's also possible that Yoda was different in his youth - and gained greater wisdom after the fall of the republic.
The fight itself was poorly choreographed, Yoda should NOT seem hyperactive, and Dooku asn't a worthy foe - but Yoda fighting si fine.
@Stairc Alright, you changed my mind. Now that I think about it, even Mr. Miyagi had to fight once. But Yoda didn't have any real reason to fight Doku. Doku is just some lame faceless villian. And maybe Yoda didn't need a lightsaber cuz like Plinkett said it's really inconvient for a short dude. He should've fought in a slow & tense scene with purpose and I would've like to have seen him more reserved and above it all. I'd respect that warrior more than jumping bumblebee man.
@michaelandjennyshow Agreed. Dooku was not a worthy opponent for Yoda, the fact that he could match Yoda in the force is almost an insult. If you HAVE to have Dooku fight Yoda, and can't give him a significant villain, then Dooku should have tried to overwhelm Yoda with the force and been easily nullified. Then, in desperation, charge in with his lightsaber and have yoda hardly have to move to defend himself as Dooku moves around like crazy. Then have Yoda begin attacking and Dooku flees.
@Stairc his youth? his species lives for like 900 years. and the prequels and the originals are only separated by like 20 years. he is already very old even in episode 1. if he gets to be 800 and something years old and still isn't very wise, why would suddenly gain a bunch of wisdom in the last 20 years of his life? that would be like a human being really dumb most of their life, and then when they are 92, they suddenly get really smart and then die a couple years later
@zikten I meant when he was younger, not his youth, but the character count is brutal. ;)
And if Yoda learned from a tragic experience like, say... The collapse, destruction and domination of everything he worked so hard to protect and the thousands of Jedi he trained and befriended - shifting to him spending 20 years in exile in a swamp planet rather than the height of civilization... I can see that changing a person.
I disagree about Yoda fighting. The fact that he can stand up to a foe 3 times his size physically as well as mentally only makes him more badass than he already was, and serves to illustrate the point that size actually doesn't matter.
Isn't handing lightsabers to a bunch of kids kind of dangerous? What if one of them suddenly throws a hissyfit and starts cutting stuff up? They can cut through anything remember! My point is that you probably shouldn't hand out lightsabers to anyone... Especially little kids and maniacs!
Well...I hate that I know this but in a Star Wars encyclopedia I used to have it said that "training" lightsabers are what the kids are using. They apparently don't work like real lightsabers, but can do minor damage.
@WelcomeGhostsIV Actually, no. It's not dangerous. THOSE lightsabers are training sabers. They have their power toned down to a level that they can only leave welts on people. You may still have an argument, though, because supposedly there is an override that all jedi know that can turn them into full-powered Lightsabers, in case they are ever caught in a combat situation with only a training saber. If any of the children figure this override out...
One thing you forgot to mention is that Obi Wan already had the coordinates to Kamino. He for some reason had to look it up in the Archive, even though he already had the coordinates and could have left at any given time. That clue was so poorly thought out and pointless that the fat asshole of CGI shit at the cafe may as well have not have had it. That wasn't explained either.
exagering? all his arguments were valid and had nothing to do with the time frame of the films, Lucas has proved time and time again that he is a moron that blames other people for his failures, just look at Red Tails, he made a terrible movie and blamed it not being distrobuted on the actors being black
@TheStarDeth first spelling helps and can ruin arguments second some of his points are valid and some his gives leeway too and 3rd if he wasn't "exaggerating" the he wouldn't be committed to his own character design and be able to put that woman into the refrigerator.
@Haggersword Firstly, if you're going to correct people's spelling you might as well use some decent grammar. Secondly, you used the words "first", "second" and "3rd" -- do you not see how stupid this makes you look? Thirdly, the guy said "very exagering" which would indicate to any individual with half a brain that English is not his first language... People like you shouldn't be correcting ANYONE.
It sure would've been nice if Lucas included a scene in the prequel movies were Jedi are building their own lightsabers or taking sparring lessons or even practicing basic healing techniques, just for some added depth to the Jedi ways. I noticed apparently none of them eat at the temple either.
"[The lightsaber] is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster. An elegant weapon... for a more civilized age."
They are trained as children, with training lightsabers, to use them. So Kit would not just clumsily lop off a tentacle. He's a Jedi master. As for Yoda, he could probably be overpowered if he just stood still... but alas, he did not. He wasn't jumping around to dodge the attacks. He was a great warrior.
he makes the point of what if dexter was a jedi with light sabers, well in that clone wars show, there is now a jedi of his race........ with 4 double sided light sabers, damnit
It was really stupid to give Yoda a lightsaber. It's the same reason why you don't see Gandalf or Dumbledore jumping in the middle on a battlefield killing hundreds of enemies. They're spiritual leaders and teachers, not Rambo. It's the power of their will what makes them so special, not their fighting skills.
Honestly? i think the original's storyline, however dodgy, was a thousand times more interesting than the prequels, and it had original ideas, not just rehashed bullshit
I am a 12 year old child, and I totally agree with your statements about the kids in this movie and the lightsaber's overuse. There is no excuse for how fucking bad this movie was, but I appreciate you taking the time to articulate all the stupid and pointless things that happen in this movie. I salute you, sir!
Fuck. Why is Yoda teaching toddlers? Especially Toddlers in the art of laser-deflection? They should be learning to do that when they're teenagers, or fully-fledged padawans.
Sometimes, at work, I find myself reaching for stuff and as I take it to the fridge, I say "time to go in the refrigerator!" in Plinkett's voice. And then people go ಠ_ಠ
"By the time he began writing Episode VI in 1981 (then titled Revenge of the Jedi), much had changed. Making Empire Strikes Back was stressful and costly, and Lucas' personal life was disintegrating. Burned out and not wanting to make any more Star Wars films, he vowed that he was done with the series in a May 1983 interview with Time magazine." The only reason he made these movies was to keep milking the cash cow.
Was this scene even necessary? Why does Obiwan even need Yoda? What's the first thing you do if Googlemaps and it can't find an address? YOU CHECK ANOTHER MAP. Someone couldn't have gone through all the maps in the entire galaxy and erased an entire planet that probably relies A LOT on intergalactic trade considering their advanced equipment and its surface is ENTIRELY COVERED WITH WATER. Wouldn't the Kaminos have noticed this too? "Wait a min? why is our tourism rate dropping by 95% overnight?"
The other day one of my friends said he likes the prequels better than the originals, because "special effects are the only good part of a movie". I almost punched him in the face.
You should have directed the prequels, this is hands down the best argument of why these movies fucking sucked a DICK. Your right about Lucas not understanding ESB, he's fucking lost!
Speaking of light sabers, one idea they haven't tried yet is having a jedi spin the light saber above their head rapidly and end up flying. You know, like a helicopter. Unfortunately now that I mentioned this idea, George Lucas might want to steal it for his next movie. Please Mr. Redlightmedia, don't spend your hard earned money to hire a hit man to come get me. Please, please, please...
Notice how Christopher Lee is not mentioned in any of this. Probably cause he is by far the best and most experienced actor in the movie. Way to go Chris Lee, and good job as Saruman.
A friend of mine was giving this long and absurd monolouge about how he was emtionally connected to when Anakin confessed he killed all those Sand People to Padme. He also said he didnt like the originals. I was soooo close to kicking him out my car and leaving him in the dark;
Brilliant reviews, man. You really provide some intelligent opinion on the magical filming that was the original trilogy and how it has been tragically tarnished. Well done.
Stop following the George Lucas path, and continuing your disregard and contempt for your audience.
I speak for most, when I say: Get back to Plinkett reviews, and shut down this bullshit, annoying "Half In the Bag" shit.
We understand that you wish to give your 'friends' some screen time. Well, you're giving them way too much screen time. They are not funny or entertaining. They are fucking dead weight and unnecessary distractions.
George lucas had obviously become very deluded. What I don't understand is how Steven Speilberg could see these prequels and STILL let lucas anywhere near the Indiana Jones trilogy??
I agree with what he says about Yoda lol.he either should have won fights quickly with the lightsaber, used other means of fighting in addition to the lightsaber, or have been like a Mr.Miyagi type of character who trained people in the force and only the force, it would have made him seem more like a sage type character rather than have him jump around all the time. He should have been like a pacifist as portrayed in the original trilogy.

Did GEORGE LUCAS just call a Lightsaber a fucking LAZER SWORD?!
Altelier 1 month ago
@Altelier Not only that, but "laser" is an acronym. They explain how the phrase "sitting ducks" makes sense in the Star Wars universe by showing ducks in a pond (or river or whatever) in TPM. But why does Anakin use the term "laser sword?" We can understand use of words like "ion" or "photon" because they're not acronyms. By the way, there actually is such a thing as an ion engine. Sometimes life really does imitate art.

Shortly before count Dooku manages to escape he tries to kill Obi-Wan and Anakin with a massive metal column, which Yoda stops using the force. I wondered even the first time I watched it - why didn't he just pull their bodies out of danger or - you know - push the column on his own a little, so it falls several steps behind them.

But the line that killed it all was count Dooku's: "It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge with the Force, but by our skills with the lightsaber."
Wha..? I always thought the saber skills depended on one's understanding of the Force?!
Otherwise any space thug could've got one!

Completely agreed on the analysis of Yoda and what makes him special.
However, there is one thing not factored in. The rule of cool. The idea the most badass Jedi around finally whipping out his lightsaber and showing what he can do is pure, raw AWESOME. Despite the way he acted like a hyper-active jedi monkey in the fight - watching him walk into the battle against Dooku is still one of the highest points of excited anticipation I've felt in movies. The fight's style is the flaw.
Stairc 1 month ago
@Stairc I'll admit it was exciting for me too, when I was like 10. But Yoda wasn't a "badass" character because he could fight.... he wasn't like chuck norris or indiana jones. He was badass like Mr. Miyagi. Yoda had a greater understanding of life and he made it a major part of Luke's training that the Force was not about physical strength. So whether it was exciting or not (which is was) Plinkett is saying that ultimately it ruined Yoda's character entirely and everything he stood for.
michaelandjennyshow 1 month ago
@michaelandjennyshow I disagree that it ruins Yoda's character, what damages the character is his lack of insight or wisdom - especially in the third movie. If you recall, even in the Empire Strikes Back - Yoda was built up as a great warrior.
It's also possible that Yoda was different in his youth - and gained greater wisdom after the fall of the republic.
The fight itself was poorly choreographed, Yoda should NOT seem hyperactive, and Dooku asn't a worthy foe - but Yoda fighting si fine.
Stairc 1 month ago
@Stairc Alright, you changed my mind. Now that I think about it, even Mr. Miyagi had to fight once. But Yoda didn't have any real reason to fight Doku. Doku is just some lame faceless villian. And maybe Yoda didn't need a lightsaber cuz like Plinkett said it's really inconvient for a short dude. He should've fought in a slow & tense scene with purpose and I would've like to have seen him more reserved and above it all. I'd respect that warrior more than jumping bumblebee man.
michaelandjennyshow 1 month ago
@michaelandjennyshow Agreed. Dooku was not a worthy opponent for Yoda, the fact that he could match Yoda in the force is almost an insult. If you HAVE to have Dooku fight Yoda, and can't give him a significant villain, then Dooku should have tried to overwhelm Yoda with the force and been easily nullified. Then, in desperation, charge in with his lightsaber and have yoda hardly have to move to defend himself as Dooku moves around like crazy. Then have Yoda begin attacking and Dooku flees.
Stairc 1 month ago
@Stairc his youth? his species lives for like 900 years. and the prequels and the originals are only separated by like 20 years. he is already very old even in episode 1. if he gets to be 800 and something years old and still isn't very wise, why would suddenly gain a bunch of wisdom in the last 20 years of his life? that would be like a human being really dumb most of their life, and then when they are 92, they suddenly get really smart and then die a couple years later
zikten 1 month ago
@zikten I meant when he was younger, not his youth, but the character count is brutal. ;)
And if Yoda learned from a tragic experience like, say... The collapse, destruction and domination of everything he worked so hard to protect and the thousands of Jedi he trained and befriended - shifting to him spending 20 years in exile in a swamp planet rather than the height of civilization... I can see that changing a person.
Stairc 1 month ago
I disagree about Yoda fighting. The fact that he can stand up to a foe 3 times his size physically as well as mentally only makes him more badass than he already was, and serves to illustrate the point that size actually doesn't matter.

Isn't handing lightsabers to a bunch of kids kind of dangerous? What if one of them suddenly throws a hissyfit and starts cutting stuff up? They can cut through anything remember! My point is that you probably shouldn't hand out lightsabers to anyone... Especially little kids and maniacs!

@WelcomeGhostsIV
Well...I hate that I know this but in a Star Wars encyclopedia I used to have it said that "training" lightsabers are what the kids are using. They apparently don't work like real lightsabers, but can do minor damage.
Damn this is all stupid.
loner1878 1 month ago
@WelcomeGhostsIV Actually, no. It's not dangerous. THOSE lightsabers are training sabers. They have their power toned down to a level that they can only leave welts on people. You may still have an argument, though, because supposedly there is an override that all jedi know that can turn them into full-powered Lightsabers, in case they are ever caught in a combat situation with only a training saber. If any of the children figure this override out...

One thing you forgot to mention is that Obi Wan already had the coordinates to Kamino. He for some reason had to look it up in the Archive, even though he already had the coordinates and could have left at any given time. That clue was so poorly thought out and pointless that the fat asshole of CGI shit at the cafe may as well have not have had it. That wasn't explained either.

It sure would've been nice if Lucas included a scene in the prequel movies were Jedi are building their own lightsabers or taking sparring lessons or even practicing basic healing techniques, just for some added depth to the Jedi ways. I noticed apparently none of them eat at the temple either.

"[The lightsaber] is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster. An elegant weapon... for a more civilized age."
They are trained as children, with training lightsabers, to use them. So Kit would not just clumsily lop off a tentacle. He's a Jedi master. As for Yoda, he could probably be overpowered if he just stood still... but alas, he did not. He wasn't jumping around to dodge the attacks. He was a great warrior.

"By the time he began writing Episode VI in 1981 (then titled Revenge of the Jedi), much had changed. Making Empire Strikes Back was stressful and costly, and Lucas' personal life was disintegrating. Burned out and not wanting to make any more Star Wars films, he vowed that he was done with the series in a May 1983 interview with Time magazine." The only reason he made these movies was to keep milking the cash cow.
