Mein Gott, Lucas
Ich kann es noch nicht selber beschreiben, aber ich habe ein paar Einträge in der IMDB gefunden, die es gut treffen. Vielleicht habe ich mich später mal soweit gesammelt, um meine Gedanken dazu auszudrücken.
Der Film, kurz erzählt:
Opening-elongated battle as Obi and Ani race to get Palpatine from Grevious. The next 20 minutes are things like CGI "buzz droids" that attack the ships and remind you of Robot Wars on TV, followed by 3 or 4 different kinds of robots at various levels of Grevious' ship as Obi and Ani essentially give the CGI guys a whole lot of meaningless work to do.
Obi and Ani meet Dooku again, who throws Obi around without really going that hard after Ani. He throws Obi across the room, knocks him cold, uses the force to collapse the catwalk above him onto both of his legs, but oddly later, after Ani has chopped off both the Count's hands easily and been tricked into cutting off his head by Palpatine, Obi gets up and walks out. Okay- There's literally no room between the collapsed catwalk and the floor Obi is passed out on, so it should be a miracle he even has legs, much less functioning legs.
The rest in no particular order because it doesn't really matter- Mace pretty much has Palpatine in the bag- duels with him and relieves him of his light saber, deflects the Force lightning with his light saber and shots it back at him to scar and burn him into the Emperor we all know and love, Ani comes in and because he wants to save his bride with Dark Side stuff that only Palpy can teach him he chops off Mace's hand and the Emperor shoots him into the sky with the same lightning that made him look all busted. This is the "critical moment" where Ani realizes he can't go back to being a good guy ever again.
So then Palpy sends the newly named Darth Vader off to the Jedi temple to kill all the kids off and Palpy gives the secret order 66 to the clones all over the galaxy (also known as Robocop Secret Directive #4) to kill every last Jedi. In about 5 minutes of CGI worlds later- They're all dead but Yoda and Obi.
Obi battles with Ani on the Volcano planet, Yoda battles with Palpy in the Senate chambers. Obi wins by chopping off Ani's legs and remaining arm and leaving him there to burst into flame. Yoda doesn't kill Palpy but George makes it clear who the biggest baddest practitioner of the Force is (it's YODA by the way). Yoda goes into hiding, Palpy picks up a pulpy Vader and patches him together as Luke and Leia are born. All the CGI ships and creatures from TPM and AOTC are not so slowly replaced with the ships we see at the beginning of Episode 4.
Meine persönlichen Eindrücke beschreibt ein anderer Kommentator sehr gut:
Despite almost 30 years of warm up, Lucas still didn't come up with a strong enough character motivation to explain Anakin becoming Darth Vader. Now when I watch the original do I have to imagine a sniveling, pouty little punk in the suit?
Obi-Wan looks back at the security hologram to see the slaughter taking place then exclaims "I can't watch this anymore". How do you think we feel Obi-Wan?!
Yet more pointless battle scenes take place for the next few hours, including Obi-Wan vs Anakin/Vader on a planet of molten lava (why do they choose the most precarious places to fight?). Meanwhile Padmé is about to have her babies. In one scene she looks slim and normal, in her next (after the Anakin lightsabre fight) she is sporting a large bulge. In any other film the length of her pregnancy may have raised a few eyebrows, but this fight scene really did seem like 9 months. Padmé falls ill as she goes into labour. A medical robot says to Obi-Wan "There's nothing medically wrong with her, but she's losing the will to live". At that point I couldn't contain myself any longer and laughed out loud, thinking out loud "we all know that feeling!" The laughs don't end there.
After losing the battle, Anakin is horribly burned and has to put on the Vader costume. After the operation he gets off the table, raises both arms aloft, before letting out a long "NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!" He knew exactly how we all felt.
