The Empire Strikes Back
The Empire Strikes Back
On a scale from 1-10, how would you rate "STAR WARS Episode V The Empire Strikes Back"?
I'll give it an 8.5. (I think that makes it the highest so far).
What was your favorite part?
the part with Yoda and Luke working together - you can see in these parts how much he is like his father
Least favorite moment?
when Darth Vadar cut off Luke's forearm - how can you cut off your kid's arm?
Who is your favorite character?
Yoda
ho is your least favorite character?
Han
Did you feel you understood the movie?
yes
re you looking forward to seeing STAR WARS Episode VI Return of the Jedi?
yes, i want to see what happens next.
Which Yoda did you like the best? Puppet or CGI?
CGI, even though I liked his character best, he was not very believeable as a puppet after seeing him in the newer movies. AND he sounded too much like Kermit the Frog.
How did Vader telling luke he was his father affect you? what did it mean to you?
since i knew it already, it didn't really affect me at all. no shock, surprise, or any real emotion. i was focused on that part on how Luke was reacting to the news. i did find it interesting how Vadar was trying to get them to team up together to rule the republic/universe.
Ask her, due to the years they were made, how do the locations that shes seen from both the PT and OT compare both visually, creativity, and uniqueness. Also hint at if either style is better and why.
The PT locations are much better visually. (Obviously computers were used to graphically create the scenes, so they were much more elaborate and detailed). In the OT the scenes are very minimal, like they were on a small budget and tried to keep it simple. and you don't get much of a feeling for the planets themselves.
Hehe... ask for a comparison on the Asteroid chase from AOTC to this one.
Can't totally remember the AOTC chase scene. But, i'm pretty sure that I liked this one (movie 5) better. They were in a less fancy ship, so it was more intense and impressive when they are dodging asteroids.
If she saw more of Anakin in Vader this bout, as opposed to A New Hope. Also maybe, if she felt this lightsaber battle had more meaning to it than some previous ones.
Yes, I saw more of Anakin in Vader. Vadar definitly seemed more human in this movie. You were able to see the softer side of Anakin in Vader when Vader was trying to get Luke to team up with him.
And of course, how she feels about Leia making out with Luke! haha
gross. AND she's two-timing Han and Luke. Pick one - of course I think she should pick neither. If she wasn't related to Luke, I think she should pick him. Han is way out of her league.
Ask her how she felt about the Han/Leia romance (since she said she thought they were bad for each other in ANH), and I guess ask how it compares to the one in AOTC.
I still think that Han and Leia are bad for eachother. Leia comes across as a warm, intelligent, good person. Han just seems trashy and uneducated in comparison. He is a thief (smuggling goods on his ship) and kind of jerky. When she tells him that she loves him, his response is so cocky. And yet, it wouldn't have been in his character to reply back that he loves her too. He's just not a nice enough or smart enough guy for her.
Also what did she think when Yoda first showed up and was acting crazy?
it was very unlike Yoda. BUT, he had been living by himself in a swamp - I guess that could make anyone crazy. I think it was a bad way to introduce him though, since they had him calm down considerably when he was teaching Luke AND they should want Yoda to be taken seriously.
If you were offered the job of Admiral in Vader's fleet, would you take it?
god no. you're never going to please Vader, and he kills everyone that doesn't please him. It's best to be at the bottom/middle of the food chain on that fleet.
Who's the hottest guy in SW so far?
get rid of the facial hair on ObiWan when he was younger and it would be him. Although...I think ObiWan is the cutest (the one I would go for), but for hottest...probably Anakin since he would fall into the bad guy category and he was pretty good looking himself, although a little big young for my tastes.
How would you rank the 5 movies you've seen so far?
Pretty good. Definitly worth watching. If I was going to watch sci-fi films, these would rate at the top for me since they're not bloody or creepy. So far, I actually like the older movies the best - less hollywood glitz and glamour with the fight scenes.
Han - dead or alive?
what is this referring to? At the end of this movie they said he was alive, so I will go with alive.
How did you like Yoda's first scene?
it was very unlike Yoda. he didn't seem like himself. he wasn't calm or entered, he seemed like a crazy old man.
Do you like the mellower spiritual Yoda, or the more decisive man of action Yoda better?
mellower spiritual Yoda
Give us your interpretation of the "Vader in a Cave" scene
foreshadowing that Luke will behead Vader. (of course he'll probably need therapy in the long run for killing his father if that is true);-)
What's your impression of Lando Calrissian?
He gave me the creeps when he checked Leia out. He seemed right up the same alley as Han when it comes to character. I do give him credit for warning the city/planet that the imperial ships had landed and that "his" people should take cover.
Millennium Falcon - baddest ship in the universe, or just bad?
just bad/old. (this is Han's ship right?)
Which love story do you like better - Anakin/Padme or Han/Leia?
definitely Anakin/Padme because their love was so great. it was so obvious how much they cared for eachother and loved eachother. you could see it in their embraces and how they looked at eachother. Whereas I don't believe that Han loves Leia - if so, it's a childish kind of love, not the real thing.
Now that all the pieces are in place, let your imagination run free and tell us what you think will happen for each character in the final movie.
Leia is going to have a huge part in saving the universe, quite possibly by training/being a Jedi Knight herself. She is strong enough that she will not be tempted by the dark side. I think that Luke will waiver, but will not go to the dark side either. Darth Vader will be killed by Luke. And Leia will unfortuntely end up with Han. Ultimately, I think that both Leia and Luke will bring peace to the republic.
What did she think was gonna happen to Han Solo? Did she think they were going to save him before the end of the movie?
I think Han Solo will either end up escaping somehow or Leia will come and pay off his debts. I did not think that they would save him before the end of the movie because I knew there was another one after this one.
Ask her how Luke's journey compare's to Anakin's, and if she thinks Luke will go to the dark side too.
I don't believe that Luke will go to the dark side. I think he will be tempted because of his father's role in it. But, Luke is not conflicted with hate and fear like his father was. So, the dark side will not be able to entice him.
Did she realise Yoda was just testing Luke when he was pretending to be someone else?
No. Testing him? What do you mean? I figured that Yoda didn't want Luke to know yet what/who he was.
Does she miss Jar Jar and his wacky antics? Does she find Threepio to be suitable comic relief in his place? Better/worse?
I don't miss Jar Jar, but I do feel that he was better comic relief than Threepio. Threepio makes the movie more of a joke and he can be annoying at times.
Does she know who Boba Fett is? Does she remember Jabba?
obviously, I had to ask you, (sanoma6), who they were. I only remember
who they were by having someone explain their characters to me.
When Vader reveals himself to Luke, was it powerful, or even surprising?
definitely not surprising. i wouldn't consider it powerful either - maybe a little.
Very, very interesting.
