The moment you realise it doesn't matter how you swing your wii remote when playing WiiSports tennis is like finding out santa doesn't exist.
"Both of us were using the lightsaber style known as 'random lightsaber shaking-fu'."
So, form seven.
If that's your strongest grasp of Form Seven, then good luck taking ME on! *Casually ignites a lightsaber pointed at your crotch*
Albus Kane what
Ha turns out George Lucas heard his joke about remaking the prequels into darth vader break dancing and made Star Wars Kinect
Five years late but FEELIN LIKE A STAR YOU CAN'T STOP MY SHINE I'M LOVIN CLOUD CITY MY HEAD'S IN THE SKY
6 months late but I'M HAN SOLO, I'M HAN SOLO, I'M HAN SOLO, I'M HAN SOLO, SOLO, YEAHHHH ...
Yahtzee really can see the future. The Wii recieved the Wii motion+ attachments, and Kinect got a Star Wars dancing game.
+Marko Stamenkovic The motion plus existed at the time, hence the 'tightfisted with their hardware upgrades'. See The Conduit review for more on that.
+OfficialJab MotionPlus came out in 2009, TFU came out in 2008.
Please tell me you're joking.
JaceN this review came out in 2011
+Kaeden Ngai-Natsuhara
No... That's when it was uploaded to youtube...
It was released on The Escapist website back in 2008...
Yahtzee Croshaw...I wonder if she means old Ben Croshaw
This was back in those more innocent days, before we all grasped that every Wii port of a AAA game was being handed off to the interns a month out from release.
3:20
And that's why the emperor didn't need a lightsaber.
Yep
He is a master lightsaber user it’s just he doesn’t respect them
Also Vader tried him saber for a while and absolutely despised it
Apparently they are hyper specialised for assassination and felt like using a wrist blade against a sword
Ah yes - pre-Disney Star Wars when the prequels were considered the worst thing that had happened to Star Wars...
We were such fools.
Well the prequels are still bad…
@@radiospace7071Bad movies that at least love Star Wars and gave us other cool shit like Battlefront (the good ones) and all sorts of jedi and sith
The prequels are still bad, but the only good thing they did was give us some fun games and unintentionally funny moments that I can still use as jokes to this day. I used to think they were good, then again, I used to be a kid.
They threw out the entire EU before they threw out the prequels, Yahtzee... No, I'm not bitter.
darthlobster Eh, Disney only did that so they could make up their own shit.
They threw out the entire Europian Union? Wait! When did that happend?!?
xbob Driesestig EU = Star Wars talk for Expanded Universe. Not sure if you are being sarcastic so I will respond as if you are not.
Fireshadow Which is kind of bizarre. I mean why make your own shit up when there's like 15+ movies worth of material that people already like just sitting around?
DaS Guardians Oh, that's simple. Creative freedom.
In fairness the Clone Wars movie pretty much WAS a two-hour into cutscene because it was essentially the pilot arc of the CW series stapled together and shoved into cinemas
2:58
"I and m'colleague..."
Thank fuck someone else loves a bit of fry and laurie
My favourite part of this game was the prologue where I got to play as Darth Vader.
I remember thinking to myself:
"This is the Star Wars game I've been hoping for since I was eight!"
And then we became Starkiller and suddenly the romance was over.
the movie may have been meh but watch the series it's great and canon
The gaming god The Clone Wars is my fav part of the series
Nothing about something being “canon” tells you anything about whether it’s good or not, which is the only reason why you should ignore it or not
I was only, like, 6 when the prequels started coming out and my child's mind LOVED them.
Then, the day after my high school graduation, my friend and I decided to marathon all six and ended up laughing and facepalming our way through the prequels. I'll always have fond nostalgia-fueled memories of them, but man were they bad.
Im glad you recognise that, because it seems that by sheer weight of numbers people have decided that, for the same reason, the prequels are good actually. They’re such crap movies but if you dare say that on something like r/PrequelMemes, a forum initially brought about to mock the awful, awful writing of the prequels, you get buried under reply after reply of “you clearly don’t understand”, “okay boomer”, “you’re just salty that the original trilogy lightsaber fights were terrible”
You know what I'm waiting for? Arkham combat-lightsaber fighting.
Just counter the blaster shots, perfect timing gets you an instant kill, missing slightly gets you a deflection. And the shots miss most of the time, so the only real threat are other lightsaber weilding guys. Like in the movies. Write a good story and stick a decently built character on the field, then grab some force powers and RPG elements. Boom! A star wars game I'd actually buy.
+Breeze Ark Isn't that essentially Knights of the Old Republic though?
Alex Shannon
Never played it... Maybe...
Came back to this video after many years and saw this and I'm curious what you think of Jedi Fallen Order
@@Yurinarytracked I liked the story and hated the gameplay. For one it again went the normal Star Wars games route where you're ''one of the last Jedi'' and yet it feels like playing a cripled Ewok, flailing around that stick of his. Most things can parry or take several hits from lightsabers, and the combat clearly seems designed for single target engagements, but then again they keep throwing 4-15 dudes of varying difficulty at you, sometimes from behind corners in blindspots. It has not one, not two but FOUR (five maybe?) bossfights that you are predetermined to lose, meaning they're basically time wasting cutscenes. The exploring aspect and backtracking also end up being utterly pointless since 90% of the shit you can find in non-story related areas is cosmetic and therefor irrelevant. It looks cool in the trailer, and some of the moves and planets are visually stunning, but that's about it. Big disappointment. At least to me.
2:46 Those happy little faces make me smile.
I watched this in class they had to take me out because I couldn't stop laughing
The force unleashed for ps3 was great. FU 2 was alright but not amazing. TBH.
Amy thanks, everybody is talking about the movies, not the game...
i want to see Yahtzee and Gabe play this game
I am hurting so much from laughing so hard...this is my newest favorite review :D
I actually enjoyed the wii version, but I haven't played it since I was 12 or something...
Since I only had the Wii at the time, I got the Wii version when the game came out, and I agree with everything he said, It's pretty bad.
Haha now that all the disney sequels are out it’s funny to see people make fun of the prequels.
Cuz now everyone says “ya know what, they aren’t actually half bad”
The PS2 version of this game was about the same as the Wii one, minus duel mode and the lightsaber combos were doable.
2:43 did Yahtzee just predict the Wii motion plus.
It'll always be a disappointment that Yahtzee never reviewed the definitive and best version of this game.
Which one would that be? I heard each console had a slightly different level dessign and a lot of people were arguing which one was the best...
Reminds me of when I got "The Amazing Spider-Man" for the Wii rather than for any other console. So in that version of the game the whole free-roaming city exploration thing was just COMPLETELY removed (which was really annoying to me as that wasthe biggest, if not only reason, I got that game), not even exaggerating. You'll beat one level and then be immediately teleported to the next level area without any explanation as to why you're here until Peter Parker utters something very broad about the goal (of which you also aren't really given, I just completed levels by following the very linear layouts of the actual levels). Now you WOULD have been given this information IF YOU HAD ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE FREE-ROAMING CITY (where the whole reason you're going there is described). The only time you were allowed in the city is on a few occasions when you had to chase down a bad guy and you were given very specific guidelines (as well as no background as to the area Spider-Man starts in in those chases). When I originally started I just thought maybe you had to beat a few levels to get to the city but then I figured it out like a third of the way through the game when Peter Parker mentioned something about having gone through this area in the city before and not having seen anything. Upon making this discovery I immediately returned the game and traded it in for the Xbox 360 version which (unsurprisingly) DID have said free-roaming city exploration. Not only that, the controls for the Wii version were incredibly terrible. I initially thought I just needed to get used to it, or that I sucked at it, because the first level had you shoot a web through a bunch of lasers (on the first level, like halfway through it I might add) to show you you could do this. I was stuck there forever because either my aim was terrible or the hitboxes for the lasers were incredibly increased. The controls for the Wii version, you actually had to aim, and it was very jumpy and very sensitive, just pressing the button to shoot the web I'd aim like a foot lower. Anyway, just relating to Yahtzee's frustration. That game was fucking terrible on the Wii.
It's funny how he said you shouldn't link episode 3 and 4...
Rogue one
Cheese 918 Rogue One didn't really link them. Like at all.
Cheese 918 Rogue one was more like a prequel except good
Except with retarded feminism propaganda cancer and stolen Dark Forces story ruined.
Brenn Tantor
what
SchrodingersWaffle, Just ignore him he's just the type who is so afraid of being emasculated by a women leaving the kitchen and doing something other than make dinner he feels the need to cry about a new and very good movie who dares break the format and casts a women as the lead character. "Oh my lord the lead hasn't got a penis it's the ends of days!" Please if that was the case the world would have ended in the early 2000's with the resident evil movies.
The Wii version and the Playstation or Xbox version are practically different games, and please, I beg of you, get the PS or Xbox version.
+Steve Stevenson Don't you mean PS3 or Xbox 360? Because the PS2 version was the same as the Wii version.
+Alex Shannon They were still making ps2 games back then? Wow.
killerbee256 Yup. Last game ever released for it was in 2014, it was a new version of Final Fantasy XI.
Just letting everyone know, this is before The Clone Wars S2 where the animation and writing got way better.
Dude it was the theatrical release before the TV show started.
@@jimnicholas7334 okay, thanks for letting me know.
The Clone Wars TV series wasn't that bad... until Season 3, when somebody decided the politics were more exciting than droids, clones, bounty hunters, pirates, Jedi, and Sith battling each other to the death in grand spectacles of warfare and lightsaber play. I don't know what they were smoking, either.
Season 1 was a kid's show (except for the episode "Rookies"), season 2 was great, season 3 sucked, seasons 4-5 were awesome, and season 6 was "meh" until the last episode.
Nick Rainwater it gets mature in season 3.
Nick Rainwater rookies was a great episode doe
Nadhif Bhagawanta I don't think he said Rookies was bad.
pepper Mill I don't think he implied that I thought it was. It's probably my favorite episode.
Game was immeasurably better in the Ultimate Sith Edition on PS3. Graphics are better, character models actually behave organically, plus the "Alternate Reality" chapters actually are entertaining, at least for one playthrough. Not to mention they rearranged some parts of it to make it more coherent. So, barely mediocre first time around, at the very least decent the second.
12 years later I wonder if Yahtzee's views on the prequals have changed like most Star Wars Fans
Well no because he generally doesn't like Star Wars.
"If there was some sort of attachment that improved the Wii Motion controls"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I don't think anyone will see this but I want everyone who does to know that the different consoles have very different versions,
the Wii has more changed the just a multiplayer mode. (no level select, no difficulty options, twice as many single-player levels (and the ones they share have different layouts), the story is changed in a lot of places,
the PSP port has a bunch of extra modes (a wave defense, a 4 player brawl mode, and a one on one force thing),
the DS is also different (its own levels, touch screen mini-games, 4 player free for all, and a touch screen duel mode).
So yea, the basically made 4 different games that kinda resemble each other.
The Harry Potter games were exactly like that. The first one alone had 7 different versions
this video is older than my dog, WTF?
I like the sound of Yahtee's approach to a new star wars series thing
"The most he could do was move a lightsaber by grimacing at it for an hour"
Well, and releasing a missile from a superfast spaceship at just the right time so it flew into a tiny air vent and into the center of a moon-sized space station, destroying it forever.
But you know, that light saber thing is cool too
I think thats why some people including myself enjoy the prequels is because the lightsaber fight scenes are so much more intense imo
ah back when we thought the prequels were the low point of star wars
That would be the holiday special or the EU.
@@fontainus7302 the sequels...
I just love how that review has gotten so much universal appraisal and acknowledgement. Thumbs up, sir.
Am I the *ONLY* one who actually likes the star wars prequel trilogy? Because I'm seriously starting to think I am...
I liked revenge of the sith and phantom menace. Attack of the clones was mediocre.
Revenge of the Sith was decent, but it was seriously hampered by Episodes I and II putting the storyline in such an awkward position relative to Episode IV.
I liked Episode I and III more than Episode IV to be honest. Episode II sucks dick though in my opinion,
3 was decent but the other 2 were crap
no, fu is awesome, but so is yahtzee's reviews, I watch his work to hear the negativity on my favorite games because he is hilarious.
Honestly, I didn't think Episodes 1-3 were that bad. True, they weren't as good as 4-6, but they weren't nearly as bad as people say they were.
Did you watch the SW: clonewars anime/cartoon.. the one that was like samurai jack?
The good one? The one that is non-canon now for some reason
It's not canon? why the f#%*? it was awesome and the lack of talking made it all the better!
@@dapmitidp yeah it's a shame. Tarkovski's clone wars was an amazing cartoon series
"we got to play as anakin skywalker against darth vader, to completely fuck up the canon" im dying of laughter right now XD
Zyad48 - The Warrior of Evil Anakin.
pepper Mill thanks, ill edit it now
That CGI movie that looked like 2 hour preview.
Will anyone tell him or should I? XD
Anyone remember how there was a pitch during the development of this game for a wookie freedom fighter title. Georgie boy shot that idea down as some as it was mentioned and now we have this game instead
as someone who has never seen star wars, can anyone explain why people seem to hate the prequals more then cancer and war combined?
They're not good
+big _Mac there are a lot of not good things, but I rarely see such hatred as this
It can be pretty much summarized thusly: Childhood ruined, everything ruined.
+The Blind Sniper Imagine Da Vinci taking The Mona Lisa and then painting a crudely drawn moustache, some crooked eyebrows and finally some very poorly drawn explosions over his original masterpiece. That's essentially how he treated Star Wars by making the prequels. Hopefully that gives some insight as to why so many of us hate them. The fact they're just shitty movies also helps us hate them.
+Solarstar10 that actually clears things up quite well, thanks
"I and m'colleague"
Even though that's probably not a reference to 'A Bit of Fry and Laurie', I'm still going to choose to see it as such.
oooh, this aged well.... old hand Lucas hasn't had his hands with the francice for _quite_ a while now... might actually end up making the prequels look _good_ by comparison, now.
When you said PSP in the begginging you brought a picture of a Nintendo DS?..Reeeeaaallll professional.
I feel like episode 1, 2, and 3 had potential, they were just horribly mismanaged.
Asher Flanagan By its own creator, for extra irony.
Aw man, my favourite reviewer is in my country. This makes me proud.
Here is how to fix Midi-Chlorians.
Ret-con the intelligent part and say they are parasites that feed off of force energy and people who have high midi-chlorian counts mean they likely have a higher connectivity to the force than average and all they need is a stiff does of antibiotics to clear it up.
Here is how to fix Episodes One, Two, and Three. (Aside from acting complaints.)
With the purge of 99% of the Jedi Order and its re-founding many things had to be rediscovered. This time, without the help of 10k years of god worship behind it. Midi-Chlorians are now parasites. How could this realization be take so long to be discovered? Thousands of years of God Worship inevitably tainted the findings.
All of this can be offhandedly mentioned in one of the new trilogy and all is well again.
Here's how to fix the midi-chlorians. Treat it the same way incest was treated in episode 5...
+Indigo Julze wasn't that only a thing in the first movie? Can't remember why star wars nerds get so upset about that. Thanks to the Prequels we got a lot more stuff (including KOTOR, Clone Wars, Republic Commando etc.). People on the internet are so butthurt about the prequels these days its almost tragic. I see large forum posts complaining about Jar Jar while he was only in one movie and at the beginning of the second one.
The Prequels are ok but Star Wars nerds are just weird and can't get over the facts that the same concept gets old after 20 years. I like the prequels because of that whole 'the jedi are really the good guys believe me' plot.
ManiacX1999
That.... Adds one more item to the giant pile of reasons as to why Mr. Lucas is an idiot that shouldn't be allowed to make story decisions.
+Indigo Julze A lot can be done to fix the prequel trilogy. First, ditch the line "recently elected ruler of the Naboo." Make Padme a hereditary queen who's parents were just assassinated. That's why the Jedi are there, to investigate the murder. It does away with all that boring trade negotiation wank. Also, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon need to switch roles, with Qui-Gon being the wise master who stays on the ship and offers guidance, and Obi-Wan goes on the adventure. In addition to giving the film a protagonist, it would make things later make sense. As for Midi-chlorians...Ditch the concept entirely and have Obi-Wan call Qui-Gon and say "Master, you must meet this boy. I've never felt a presence this strong."
I see cinematic screenplay in your future.
The im better comercial has my theatre professor
"I'm a big, evil tosser!"
He complained about how he wishes that there's an attachment to make it better. THERE IS!! It's called the Classic controller which is actually really comfortable and is like a standard console controller.
darth vader in his suit cant use force lightning... it shuts his suit down thats why he uses force choke
+Spiffy Giffy He never learned the discipline... likely because Palpatine didn't want him frying his suit before a better replacement for Vader could be found.
Farscryer0 its the suit man it short circuits him
I agree, but the animatd series is what caught my attention. At its best, it was action packed, as deep as it could be for what it was, and entertaining.
Yeah sure... now.
Back then not so much. Season 1 didn't really endear itself too people and it took until Season 2 for things to pick up.
2:42 HE PREDICTED THE WII MOTION PLUS
And Star wars kinect at the end of the video

Apparently, with every star wars game, they start out kicking ass, but then Lucas gets involved and instantly shits the months if not years of work the developers have done straight out of a cannon. It's almost funny, in a tragic and gut-wrenching sort of way
God I played this once on the Wii and it was horrible, thank god I traded it in for the 360 version.
Oh god. I didn't even know a Wii version existed
Slyp I had the PS2 version and it was also the crappier one. It's like they wanted to make a game that could fit all consoles, but had to dumb it down.
I have the wii version of Cod5........................
Frank J pretty bloody impossible to dumb down Call of Duty, innit?
crimefightinghamster What? I don't even..
The prequils are epic
So... Anyone feeling sad about the fact Star Wars episode 7 is actually being made?
I don't care anymore. ._.;
Lets just be honest: we only watch the new Star Wars stuff (movie, animated series) for the lightsaber magic showdown duels. That's why I watch Star Wars, anyway.
I am actually kind of excited. For two reasons:
1. George Lucas can't *%@ this one up
2. It can't get any worse. Seriously.
1974spr What if there are Jedi Gungans? :)
Paradox Al
I'd say that'd be AWESOME. You can't go wrong with a Jedi. Jedi Jawas anyone?
1974spr That would be awesome, too. Honestly, my standards are pretty low when it comes to Star Wars. Just make it a good, fun adventure flick in space with lighsaber duels and I'm happy.
Swish it left and right for horizontal slashing, up and down if you’re feeling sassy
I am from the future.
Instead of remaking The Prequels, Disney remade The Original. Worst part is, people are happy with it.
bixbamtastic And it's essentially a shit remake of ANH.
The Force Awakens was one of three, there were already huge expectations and huge fears at the same time so it's understandable they played it safe. However, they did make it distinct enough to make it being worth it's own movie.
Михаил Найденов, At least rouge one was better and slightly original.
Paladin Boyd Yep, definitely better. Felt to me like a KOTOR a bit.
Tell me of your travels... Future Man
I agree with you. I am a huge fan of Star Wars and quite liked how the lore was fleshed out by 1-3 rather than it being really vague. The animated movie could have been better though.
The gameplay was good on X-Box... no fixing the story though.
They can make it as official as they want, but fanfiction will always be fanfiction.
I found that jumping then force lightning would usually take out most of the enemies near me before I hit the ground again.
I really don't understand why people hate the prequel trilogy. Can someone explain?
Just watch the original trilogy first, then watch the prequel trilogy. you'll understand.
I did. I loved them both and thought the prequel did a good job of explaining everyone's backstories. One thing i don't think people understand is that Star Wars is not a Sci-Fi, it is what is known as a "Space Opera," which are, as one could tell, are stories written similarly to how classical Opera was written (With or without music) and are set in a futuristic setting. In fact, Star Wars was based upon Mosart's Opera "The Magic Flute."
redlettermedia does an amazing job of breaking down why the prequels pale in comparison to the originals.
redlettermedia.com/plinkett/star-wars/star-wars-episode-1-the-phantom-menace/
I was just about to say that
Because they were terrible. They were poorly written, the actors were clearly directed to act with as little emotion as possible, and the story was all put in second to make room for shiny effects. Effects that made nothing look actually lived in within the prequels. They also do the worst of crimes, making good movies suddenly a little bit worse by their very existance. The prequels are an abomination to all things good and decent in the world of cinema.
I just love throwing wookies over the forest in the first mission :D
Clone wars was good.
+Tyler Hite The show was great, the movie, not so much
They weren't too bad. It was weird though, them trying to get us to accept Annikin having a padawan. We know he turns on the jedi later. It's uncomfortable to think about what happened to Ashoka in Epsiode 3.
Yes
SPOILERS:
Nothing happened to Ahsoka. She abandoned the Jedi order just in time to escape the mass execution. She's a recurring character in Star Wars Rebels.
Yeah; Tartakovsky's 2D Clone Wars micro-series was fantastic. Real shame it got replaced with that inferior show, "The Clone Wars".
one does not simply stop watching Zero Punction
Yahtzee, bashing the prequel trilogy before it was vogue.
Not really.
Plinkett: Fuck you Rick Berman!, Want a Pizza Roll.
+Conrado Javier What is it with Ricks?
Um, no, it was fucking abismal and common.
Uhhh... people have been hating the prequels since Phantom Menace came out..
4:22 you shouldnt off done that, now we have this bloody star wars kinect with a dance feature! THANKS YAHTZEE xD
actually i played the sith lords edition and the PS2 version, and the PS2 was waaay better if you ask me.... (i know no one did but fuck it)
+janosrock I probably finished the PS2 version atleast a half dozen times and still didn't find all the collectables.
Magwitch same here, bro
Won't lie
It was good times
He also predicted ME3 having a resource system where you harvest resources from the skulls of your enemies. They called it "Multi-Player".
You now know that the prequels were not that bad. Thanks, Kaitleen.
Just because something else is garbage doesn't make the other can of garbage not garbage
@@MrRed88
I'm mixed on the prequels but lean positive. I despise the sequels. Guess I'm the middle ground here
@@ManiacMayhem7256and I’ve never seen a star war and don’t particularly care about it, so I guess I’m the observing audience to this argument
Honestly force unleashed would be better as a movie IMO. You have that "redeemed jedi"plot. You have a romance subplot, and you have an origin story for the rebellion that ties it to the other movies.
wii version was better i.m.o.
Well then I guess it's a good thing games and game makers don't go by your opinion and if you're going to post something like this you can't say i.m.o........nonononono it must be IMHO....notice the H??.....Humble............something clearly I am not.
thats nice, why dont you go to hell.. pretty please.

Honestly, that 'Go to hell' comment really fit your picture.
InsaneCraziness
how come?
Sachiel Otaku
To me it looks like a creepy face...
As someone who grew up watching the Star Wars movies, I don't hate any of them. Is the original trilogy better? Certainly, but I still find enjoyment in Episodes I-III. And I really liked The Clone Wars as well.
I’ll prefer George Lucas over Disney any day.
The clone wars after that CG movie got pretty awesome though.
Seriously though why does everyone hate the prequels? Sure, the dialogue and acting was a bit rubbish from time to time, but it was nothing *too* bad. And I think everyone's overreacting about Jar Jar. He honestly isn't that bad.
Brooke K. First of all, I hope you're joking about Rebels. Second, a movie shouldn't REQUIRE homework just to make them make sense. If the books are a good supplement that increase your enjoyment of the film, great. But if they can't make a film that can stand on its own, they shouldn't make one.
The Prequels have the same faults as the Original Trilogy, but they don't have the amazing power of the Rose Colored Glasses to make people overlook them.
1. Characters who have no memorable traits and are practically emotionless robots.
2. Boring talking and politics.
3. WAY too much cgi, so much as to be like, "Hey, look what we can do now! Isn't it epic kids??"
4. Lack of legit hard work, heart, and collaboration that the originals had. George Lucas was practically a dictator of the prequels and made up all the decisions while his employees nervously agreed and laughed at his jokes to not get fired.
5. A lot of what happened in the story makes NO sense and doesn't really align with the originals at all.
That's all I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure there's way more sins to be had. All that being said, I'm sort of with you. I kinda like the prequels myself, somewhat. But they could've been way better, ya gotta admit. And Jar Jar was SSOO annoying!
Jerry Peet Yes but the original trilogy was the first of its kind. Take the classic fantasy story and PUT IT IN SPACE. We expect, and rightfully so, more from something put out decades after. That and the whole target audience shambles.
I, aged 18, watched the prequels first, so technically should be biased towards them. Am I? FUCK NO, they are everything wrong with George Lucas in the past twenty years
okay I apologize, some of the info I was referring to, is mostly in the expanded star wars universe, the movie only showed like 40% of what was really going on in the battle, however in the movie itself, they clearly show a small squadron of troops accompanying the heroes while they were on Endor, and all hey really did down there was shut down the shield generator, and the ewoks helped them, in the space battle the death star was destroyed, witch is what won the the battle,
again with the mediclorians. they were in a single scene and never mentioned again and yet even though there is plenty of bad comedy, writing and acting to pick on everyone keep getting iffy about mediclorians. there is a point where critisism is turned into fanboy rage from people with comfort zones the size of the vatican state on a world map
Yeah, I don't get that either. Aren't they as silly as the "X gene" in the X-Men movies? Nobody whines about that though, do they?
Paradox Al true but if mutated superpowers all stem from one gene that would explain why mutants are all immune to radioactivity regardless of their powers
Cyan Cat Are they? I don't read X-Men comics, but they never mentioned radioactive immunity in the films. Did they?
Anyway, I think people pretend to not know that Star Wars is *fantasy* and not sci-fi. It's a space opera thing, and midi-chlorians are dumb but Force powers are also kinda dumb, to be honest. Don't know why people take Star Wars too seriously. It's just LOTR in space.
Paradox Al in xmen first class they do. i seriously recomend that movie
Cyan Cat Yeah, I watched that movie. Guess I must have forgot they mentioned that. Huh. I'll have to rewatch it sometime. X-Men First Class was great; a very fun movie. I especially love Fassbender as the younger Magneto.
actually thinking about it i noticed that the X-box 360 version was basically an entirely different game to the ps2 version. map layout was different, graphics were difference, weapon and enemy types were different hell im fairly sure even one or 2 of the primary characters had *completely* different voice actors!!
“Me and M’colleague” was that an ‘a Bit of Fry and Laurie’ reference?
Your profile picture really drove that point home.
I still like this game on the Xbox. It gave me SO MANY hours of replay.
For some reason i laughed so hard i almost spilled my soda at the "dosent blink and eyes wobble like they are about to fall out" part. I dont even get why i found that funny :s
