OK, watched SW ep 3 again over the weekend and I had a thought that was not brought up at the time the movie was out. When Palpatine tells Anakin that the dark side could manipulate midichlorans to create life, everyone I believe was talking about Palpatine hinting that he had a hand in creating Anakin.

However, what if he was actually hinting that he made Padme pregnant to help seal Anakin’s eventual betrayal of the Jedi?

So, you may ask, if he did this, how come he did not know about the twins? I have an answer…what if he initially created a single being, but the force intervened and created a second being, a twin to provide balance to the force. This second child could have been created as the physical manifestation of the emotional tug of war being played out in Padme’s mind…loyalty to Anakin her love, or the call of duty to protect the liberty of the Republic.

Your thoughts?

Bean's sick of hearing my thoughts on this ultra-shitty movie, () so I'll just keep quiet on it.

No, I agree, not really a great flick, but I enjoyed it more then the other 2 prequels. Humor me, for old times sake...what do you think?

I thought "ultra-shitty" summed it up fairly nicely, but...

The movie is simply two hours of wasted potential mixed in with poor acting/dialogue and bizarre logic. Characters make utterly ludicrous decisons and supposedly important things happen in the movie as an afterthought, merely because the plot requires that they do so, rather than having actual reasons for them to happen.

I will, however, point out several highlights of this movie:
1. John Williams' fantastic score. Easily my favorite of the prequel trilogy scores.
2. ILM's effects work was (mostly) fantastic.
3. Ewan MacGregor's performance as Obi-Wan Kenobi was great, despite the fact that he had almost no good material to work with.
4. That short bit in the middle of the movie where the Jedi are being slaughtered is incredibly powerful to watch.

I still haven't seen this movie.

But, Netflix tells me that they've shipped it, so I suppose by the end of the week, I'll have to stop saying that...
