I mean, just compare the EpII/III Yoda animation with the EpI/IV/V/VI Yoda puppet.

And now compare Yoda's lightsabre duel in epII with Kermit the Frog's swordfighting sequence in "Muppet Treasure Island."

And now ask yourself "Which was the better film?"

I had to struggle to keep from laughing out loud watching the Yoda saber duels. And not in a good "that's humourous" way. It's an "Oh this is so bad it's funny" way. It's just ridiculous. It almost ruined ep II for me. It didn't seem so bad in EpIII, but maybe that's because I had finally succeeded in beating down the little voice in my head screaming about how bad all three of these movies sucked.

By the the one hour mark of epIII I had finally choked off the little voice and resigned myself to just ignoring the pathetic dialog and contrived or nonexsistant story and end up just watching all the pretty pictures. In the end it was like fireworks. Lot's of ooo and ahhhh, but when it was over I was left with nothing but a ringing in my ears.

EDIT: And yes, Muppet Tresure Island was way better. But that's because it was based on a classic piece of literature. That is something Star Wars has never been mistaken for.

Well AT, I've got a couple of 8 year old relatives, and I think that every 8 year old acts younger than they are. Then suddenly, at around 10 or 12 they start acting their age, and at 14-16 they become human.

Grievous didn't talk that much. It was mostly the battle droids and super battle droids. You never heard the droids say 'ow' so much in your life...

No, but Grievous did *cough*. Why does a droid *cough*?!?

And why does a droid have an organic heart and eyes? This was never explained in the movie.

General Grevious was a warrior, but his ship had a bomb in it. Droid engineers placed what was left of him in a new body. His lungs also survived, I think.

Evidently he was a living being at one point. He was nearly killed in some battle and the doids built a robotic body for him.

The Clone Wars - micro series - on the cartoon network and that damn abomination, hyperspace over on starwars.com, give a lot of back ground info that kind of explains things in the moive. Not that I have seen anything about Grevious origins in the ones that I have seen. You at least get to see how the Emperor was captured.

Not shooting, simply knockin' 'em off the ruddy wing, like Anakin did in the opening scene when the Buzz Droids landed on Obi-Wan's Jedi Interceptor.

Dogscoff, that's unfair, It's like comparing Indiana Jones to the Tomb Raider Movies.

Muppet Treasure Island is by far the superior film
