Mathew Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Agree with Trek about Jake Lloyd. Poor kid took a lot of flack for Lucas's ham-fisted dialog. I think he pulled off the role exactly like any other eight year old would have. I mean was Ewan McGregor any better in that film? Aside from the light saber battle he basically stands around gawking at Jar-Jar for the whole film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California92563 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 as I remember Jumper was not enjoyableI am not against the guyI remember the story of someone telling George Lucas you try and read this script so your point is well takenI just think jake was a little kid with a lot of pressure piled on him and I enjoyed him playing the roleI love all Star Wars even Jar Jar and HaydenI agree I really do feel bad for jake I remember reading an article after he was arrested recently and he said things were horrible for him afterwards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedilego Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 To be fair, Hayden's portrayal as Anakin does come off as dark, strange, unhinged... kinda creepo that would unravel and well, become Vader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jal4u2c Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Finally got my tickets. Fandango only had one theater that was like 30 miles away available. Tried Movietickets.com a little bit ago and they had the theater i always use so i got 8:25 opening night (18th). And the site wasn't crashing. It went through pretty quickly. So if you don't see your theater on Fandango, try Movietickets.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

botchy123 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 How many of us saw Star Wars in the theater in 1977? I did. (I was just shy of being 5 years old). I feel like a little kid all over again. Too much to process. First time at the movies with my Mother aged 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Looks like fandango is fixed. Was able to get 7pm IMAX now.I was able to get a local theater for Friday at 12:30. 10+ years ago, never thought I would be saying this but "I'm taking my son to a new Star Wars film in a theater". Pretty cool as 32 years ago, my grandmother took me to watch ROTJ in Deptford 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedilego Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) there is one spot in episode II he nailed itright when his mother died he looked up with his eyes and was tickedright then I thought he did an awesome job with his look if eyes could kill and he then didthe rest seemed not that great. no idea the actor the script or whatI have nothing against him and wish him the bestHidden ContentNext time you force yourself to sit through those movies, think of the stiff dialogue as the awkward personality of a lunatic instead. (The things a Star Wars fan will do to try to make the PT suffer-able lol)I heard about him possibly coming back but that'd be a disappointing reason. I went spoiler heavy for VII but stopped going to the Jedi Council Forums after reading what you posted earlier lol and am going to avoid them for the next two. That said, my uneducated speculation is that he would be involved in some kind of battle on the spirit plane. Lucas had plans for something like that in the third trilogy way back and had said publicly back around the time of the OT, in general terms, it would be more "ethereal". It would be weird as heck but I would be all for a battle between Force Ghosts. Better than an unjustified flashback...

Darth_Raichu Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Everyone was wondering about Luke, but did anyone see 3PO in the trailer? Perhaps Captain Phasma is a droid with C-3PO's head under that silver helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
