On movie quotes and Revenge of the Sith
I enjoyed the latest Star Wars movie. I really did.
But the question I have to ask everybody is this – is there any dialog from the movie that you will remember two weeks from now ? I know there is not a single line from that movie that I remember at all. Not a one. And while that is not a complete measure of a movies utility I think it is a damn useful metric. Now ask yourself the above question about the old movies. I bet you can think of lots of great dialog, some of which has since been incorporated into your social group’s slang. Now how is it that the Revenge of the Sith made so much damn money, yet I am not going to remember anything substantial from it next week. ?
Personally I would have liked Lucas to focus more on the characters and Annakin’s fall to darkness rather than all that damn CGI.

It should have been ALL about his fall to darkness. He went too evil too fast. From being torn between light and dark to killing kids by the bushel in no time. Crazy. Broke me right out of the movie. I suggest Lucas ok everything with me first.

“If you are not with me, you are against me” – Annakin to Obi Wan on Mustaphor – Lucas trying to compare the “Dark side” with Bush? I don’t need political crap in my Star Wars movies…
“You’re so beautiful”
“Its only because I’m so in love”
“No, its because I’m so in love with you” – Annakin and Padme on her balcony on Coruscant – ultimate cheese.
“Not from a Jedi” – Palpatine’s response to Annakin when asked who he can learn how to save Padme from.
