Yeah, Dooku totally got played. Palpatine was a puppet master. How about Greivous and his 4 lightsabres? That was good shite man! Those two starships next to each other firing away at the beginning were awesome too. I'm just starting to replay all this in my head.

OK. I can see where that is a very plausible theory. He did seem to be faking. But I think Windu had a brief opportunity to end it. Perhaps Palpatine was willing to take an all for broke risk that he would be saved by Anakin? Too bad Obi-Wan ddin't get a crack at Palpatine.

I think you are confusing numbers vs balance. The Jedi aren't more powerful than the Sith in the prequils. There are more Jedi in terms of numbers, but the Sith has always been limited to two: A master and an apprentice. And Palpatine is stronger than any of the Jedi's in the prequil (as evidenced by him defeating Yoda at the end). Padme almost says that there is still good in him. That was a cool part. Big spolier Mace Windu actually defeats Palpatine. If it weren't for Anakin, Palpatine goes down right there. So I'm not sure if they are necessarily more powerful.

A classic, from the Onion. ---------------------- Dolphins Evolve Opposable Thumbs HONOLULU, HAWAII - HONOLULU. In an announcement with grave implications for the primacy of the species of man, marine biologists at the Hawaii Oceanographic Institute reported Monday that dolphins, or family Delphinidae, have evolved opposable thumbs on their pectoral fins. "I believe I speak for the entire human race when I say, 'Holy sh--,'" said Oceanographic Institute director Dr. James Aoki, noting that the dolphin has a cranial capacity 40 percent greater than that of humans. "That's it for us monkeys."

I think Obi-Wan would have forgiven Anakin right up to the point that he was talking with Padme before he strangled her. I think if she had talked sense into him and he had repented and told Obi-Wan he'd go kill the Emporer with him, Obi-Wan would have agreed. He was searchign for any way to forgive him. Once he strangled Padme, Obi-Wan knew he was gone. You wish it wnet the other way, but then we'd have no black mask and it'd be over. Am I overanalyzing? Probably, but I don't care!

How about the surprise that Yoda springs on Obi-Wan about Qui-Jon? I almost forgot about that. That would explain Luke and Obi-Wan's interactions in the later films.

I don't think he doesn't recall, I think he just discounts Leia because, clearly Obi Wan is a chauvinist pig.

*****spoilers**** I agree. I don't think it is too intense for a younger child. If they showed the younglings get killed on camera, it would be. There is some chopping off of limbs and decapitatins, but they are not too gruesome.

I think that the Empire Strikes Back will be the one that will seem so different now. Yoda and Obi-Wan didn't just run off. They were waiting patiently until the time was right. There was a plan. From a visual standpoint, it was interesting to see the ships and uniforms all starting to evolve into what we were familiar with from IV-VI.

I thought it was brilliant. Now, I can't wait to watch a IV through VI again. It will be a different experience. Then I want to go see III ASAP. It had so much going on. It requires another immediate viewing. Bravo to Lucas- I loved this film.

I just saw it, I thought it was great. It's certainly not for everyone, so I respect your opinion.

I think this is a good thing. I like to hear about him out on the town having a good time. Kelly was alway out too.

I think Herm is a player's coach. He gets them motivated and they overachieve for him. Probably the kind of guy you really would like outside of work. I'm thinking that he isn't a great technical coach. I know nothing of his background and history. His interviews are always good. I think he survives in NYC because he plays the media well in that town and if the media like you in NY, you are going to be OK. You have a bad relationship with the NY media and you end up like Ray Handley.

Not a surprise, he got busted trying to use the whizzinator. This is a great opportunity for us and Henry.

The Sawyer-Jack scene was great. You just don't normally find good shows with intriguing plots and characters that have a such a high quality of acting and writing like that. This show is so well done and it is the total package, it restores my faith in television. I just hope that it doesn't get screwed up.

You are on to a good theory there.

Damn, I went the past two years and gave my pass away for the last day when I left. I'd have easily hooked you up. Sorry and good luck.

Also, what about Gen. Greivous and his bodyguards? Is that a cool scene? I'm really looking forward to the fight sequence involving them.

Hey! Let's steer this back to Star Wars. Im heading off to see it in a bit. Can't wait. I know everything that happens, so I'm not worried about spoliers. For those that already saw it, name your favorite part or parts. Also, is Hayden's acting as improved as they say?

From everything I've heard about it, his performace is very good in this one. Much darker and much more refined. It's a 180 from what we saw before. That is a big relief.

Thanks, I had things all mixed up.

I thought that tonights episode was 1 1/2 hours? I see the SF Chronicle list it as 1 hour. What gives?

I'll see you there... I'll be at the bar.

I think they should have used the guy that played Corky on "Life Goes On". That would have shocked everyone.

I wonder if Hayden Christiansen grasps the fact that he will "be" Darth Vader for the rest of his life. He'll never escape it. It's like Shatner and Capt. Kirk. He could win an Oscar 15 years from now or help cure cancer, but his obituary in the NY Times will read: "Hayden Christiansen, who portrayed Darth Vader in Star Wars. ..."
