Star Wars: Question on ROTS?

Watch Confused Matthew instead.

I can do that. Or I can hammer nails into my dicks. One will cause frustration over why I did such a stupid and immensely painful thing and the other is me hammering nails into my dick.

The Separatists were in an open alliance with the Sith

Is that like an open relationship? Because they never work.

God, what the hell is with that guys voice?? Is he putting it on?
Awful, had to turn it off after about 15 seconds. Also I've got better things to do that listen to soem whiny loser droning on about how much he hates the prequels... like picking my nose

Yes, it is a put on. Calling the RedLetter people whiny losers is really selling them short, though. Granted, the Plinkett character is not for everyone, but the reviews of the films themselves (particularly TPM one) are actually way more insightful and in depth than they have any right to be.
 
about the jedi changing sides and siding with the droids - i meant siding right at the end when palpatine reveals himself as the dark lord. could the jedi have survived if they called the separatists and arranged a quick alliance? or was the republic's clones too strong by this stage for the jedi and droid armies to fight? i never got the picture if the droids were about to lose or if they still had a chance, but the leadership died?

The Separatists were in an open alliance with the Sith, why would the Jedi think they could trust them any more than the Republic? As far as Mace and the few Jedi who knew Palps was a bad guy, the rot started and would probably end with Palps. Removing him and the Republic would be saved. By the third movie the game was over, the Jedi just didn't realise it.

oh, that's true. so there's no idea of how much the droid army had left?

I don't think all the Separatists knew based on the recent Clone Wars episode which shown not all of them were bad guys.

which show is this?

Agreed, the voice is horrible. I still say try Confused Matthew. He's another "whiny loser", but at least he's entertaining.

Plural?? What are you, a Centauri??

:lol:

Nope. I just really like to play swords.

Clones of a Certain Age. It stars Scott Bakula.

Maul was cut in half but came back.

You say that as though it actually happened.

Maul is like damned Cat in the Hat of the Star Wars universe.

Or would that be Boba Fett?
 
I don't know why fans keep stating Maul "returned". He returned in a potential alternate universe graphic novel story.

Though that graphic novel story ( Old Wounds ) is said to be non-continuity, the end of a recent story arc on the show The Clone Wars hinted that Maul may somehow be alive and that another character must seek him out. However, so far we've only seen an image of his face appear in a proverbial crystal ball, which is a far cry from him actually having been proven to be still alive.

Still these guys have been fighting each other for years. Trust would be difficult for both sides.

There have been more than one comic that had Maul return. One of them, "Resurrection", is part of C-canon. There is a question whether this Maul was the same guy from the movies or a clone.
 
Until we actually see Mau on a screen l...and not Savage Opress...I don't consider him to have "returned". Far as I'm concerned Obi-Wan sliced him in half :)
 
Sean Aaron your welcome.

He also did the other two prequels and the last five Trek films!

I started watching Episode II afterwards - doing them in reverse order is interesting; I'll go the other way with the Trek ones - not that there's any meaningful continuity between them, but that's a topic for another thread!

Yes, he's absolutely putting it on. I'd really give it more time. It's funny, but his points are quite valid and fair in many cases. He also clearly knows stuff about film-making. The comparison with Citizen Kane is excellent; I was impressed that he was actually able to pull similar scenes from Star Wars to those in Kane!

The creepy interstitials implying the character is some kind of serial killer I could do without however; that seems to detract from the reviews themselves. The "ad breaks" were hilarious though; especially the Kodak printer one - my god!

The story is that Mike from RLM thought his own voice was boring (you see him normal on their Half in the Bag weekly show) so he gave his reviews an edge by creating the voice and the character that resulted. He started with Star Trek Generations, and moved on form there. Those reviews were about a half hour to forty minutes each. I remember when he announced he was moving on to the Phantom Menace, and I knew it would be a hit, and keep in mind that the Trek reviews were still not terribly popular, but when his massive 70-minute Phantom Menace review came out, it not only exceeded all my expectations, but it also scored positive tweets by some famous people, and, with all the stars lined up, that review did go viral in a big way. The character being a killer is funny and gives it an edge and has always been a part of the reviews right from Generations, and he's not going to sell out just because these reviews are longer and more popular.
 
What are you talking about it's not clear that they had anything to gain for joining Sidious? The Separatists were a shame from the start, under a puppet leader (Count Dooku) who was working with a Sith Lord who wanted to use them to divide the galaxy so he could collapse democracy and create his empire. They were lied to and were pawns in a global scheme. The Separatists were operating thinking that they were legit and had actual cause against the crumbling Republic. Count Dooku, acting under his masters orders became their puppet leader and used them to begin a war with the Republic. The Separatist leadership had no idea that they were being used, just as the Republic had no clue they were actually under the control of a Sith Lord.
 
Just watch Red Letter Media's review. All there is to it

If you can stand his annoying voice.....

Which I can't.......

Watch Confused Matthew instead. Yes, He goes over the top with his yelling, but at least the sound of his voice doesn't make you want a valum.

Oh, hell! Matthew has the most annoying voice in human history! And his opinions are poorly-thought-out crap.

....other than that, Matthew's awesome. :techman:
