Well, right now I'm done with Episode 1 and I think I'm digging Star Wars already. But... well... some of you guys were right about THIS ABOMINATION
Let me just say this - I didn't now it was possible to absolutely dislike a character after its first appearance, until I met Jar Jar Binks. As soon as he jumped on Master Qui-Gon (Hands down favourite character so far!) who clearly told him to move away... gosh, I knew he was gonna be bad. Well, he's not a terrible character... he's what he's suppose to be - a cheap comic relief, with few good moments.
On a flipside, the planet Naboo and the city (Theed, was it called?) were absolutely stunning looking! One of the better locations I've seen in any movie ever. Vibrant, slightly exotic, and really amazing.
Hm... I knew about C-3PO and R2-D2 before, but I didn't know the former was built by Anakin and the latter was your ordinary maintenence droid.
Umm... if I understood correctly, Anakin was born out of immaculate conception? 0.0 (btw. I know what's Anakin's future, I know what's the deal with Senator Palpatine... stuff like that really in unavoidable).
Is it racist if I say all Hutts look the same?
Oh, I noticed Warwick Davis during the Pod Racing scene.
Jedi Council... I kinda disagree with Yoda about fear leading to suffering. I would quote to him the 12th Doctor's monologue from Listen.
Hmm.. I don't fully trust the Gungan leader... he agreed to Padme's plead too quickly.
Okay, no... Ani, a nine-year-old, flawlessly piloting a fighter? No :/ Also, no offence, kiddo. You're acting's bad.
As I thought. Rest In Force, Master Qui-Gon :C
And Naboo's free again. The end. Yep, I am definitely curious to see the next Episodes.
Also, from what I see, the Jedi Knights balance their Force abilities, and the way of the lightsabre... is there a specific 'section', or 'branch' of Jedi who are devoted more with the aspect of the Force? Like, they hone their Force skills more than the swordplay? Don't answer this one, if it's explained in the next Episodes, though.
