Well Yoda does tell Luke not to underestimate the Emperor but I guess the emphasis is on Vader because he is the prophecy fulfiller, so if Luke can get to Vader the rest is easy...

Luke probably had never seen force lightning before and plus he threw his lightsabre away in hope of winning his dad back. Perhaps a similar 'call my bluff' to that which the emperor used on Anakin against Windu.

I don't think its leaving it to peoples imagination if Lucas is directly referencing parts of religious scripts. If Shmi had said she didn't know who the father was, there would be many possible explanations to debate as opposed to stating there was no father. Even if Sidious' story is a viable option there is two choices rather than multiple explanations. As for Windu, I still do not understand why people think he got the better of Sidious. Episode III made it clear that almost everything upto the Anakin/Obi-Wan standoff was pretty much down to his manipulation. Windu was just a pawn.

I thought everyone agreed that Sidious and Plagueis being able to create life was just a story fed to Anakin.

I suppose so, but is blatantly ripping of the virgin births of Jesus, Krishna etc. leaving things to the imagination?

1)The scene in Episode III when Obi-Wan switches on the security video to see Anakin killing padawans. Rather than Obi-Wan simply looking disappointed and thus implying the fact that he feels let down, a notion the audience is going to understand and pick up on having watched both Episode II and being in the middle of Episode III, Lucas makes sure the script has Obi-Wan stating his disappointment several times. 2) The romance of Episode II. While Han-Leia was hardly Shakespeare, it was written in a way so that Han and Leia's attraction towards one another was implied and only fully realised upon their first kiss. In contrast, Lucas had Anakin proclaiming his love at least twice before Padme finally kissed him. While it can be pointed out that Anakin could not control his emotions, there are other ways to demonstrate him torturing himself about it without blatantly begging Padme for some loving. 3) Scientifically explaining the Force. Deeming that the Force is made of little living organisms is hardly leaving it to the imagination is it?

I wouldn't agree with that. The three prequels could have had flashing neon signs throughout them pointing out plot points, and it still would have been less obvious than the dialogue hammering points over the head of the audience.

Thats the problem with Lucas, he answers one question and creates another one.

Hell yes, have you played the demo of Pro Evo 5 yet? Its a lot harder to beat men now. And from what I've seen thus far, the goalie glitch where he leaves certain things for no visible reason is gone.

3-0 was far too flattering for Newcastle today. But at least Shearer and Owen are off the mark. Damn Ricardo Fuller. ALSO: Sam Allardyce's Bolton should be arrested for literally robbing Man City of three points.

Sorry. Cricket is my second sport, its in the blood you see as my dad and his ten brothers all played to a decent local level... ...but, I was merely stating the inevitable. I did say "YAY!" as well.

YAY! England won. It was nice to see the Aussies go down and thats about it. England will lose in India in the winter and come this Wednesday morning no one will care because the Champions League is back. Bold Prediction: Flintoff for Sports Personality of the year, England for Team of the year.

Something tells me thats about to change. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> AHA I was right. Just.

The bird crap magnet as I like to call it.

I pretty much agree with everything you said and Owen Hargreaves was still the biggest mystery to me last night. 1-0 down, time running out and fucking Hargreaves comes on?! Fuck that indeed.

The funny thing is £6 million is too high a price, and they still desereved to win.

Something tells me thats about to change.

I just caught the repeat of RAW here in England, and after seeing the ovation Hogan was getting, I was left wondering why does Canada respond to Hogan like she does. If anything Hogan should be the default No.1 Heel in Canada for being red, white and blue. I personally don't recall a Canadian crowd ever shitting all over Hogan. 1) Has Hogan ever been booed by Canada, specifically outside the WCW nWo period? (Though I'm not sure if WCW went to Canada much prior to Bret's arrival) 2)And just why do Canadians love Hogan so much?

That would be awesome.

After tonight's opening promo, a tweener role may be the best thing for Michaels.

English Cable broadcaster Ntl have not picked up SummerSlam so I miss it for the first time since 97. Wonderful. I'm not willing to get the webcast either because I wont be able to keep it.

I've got the first four Spider-Man: India, the art is ok, but the story is terrible. At first it seems cool that Green Goblin is a take off on Ancient Indian Demons, but then it goes into a crazy explanation which just does not work.

Zamfir - 'The Lonely Shepard' (Kill Bill Vol. 1) I fucking hated that film yet the last tune into the credits was amazing.

Lee Harper - To Kill A Mockingbird

You have no idea how pleased I am The Deftones were not a main option.
