Top Ten Ways George Lucas Will Screw Up Episode Three
I watched the trailer for Star Wars Episode III and found myself getting excited to see it...then I remembered the rotten stench of Episode II. I fear that no matter how snazzy the trailer, George - bless his soul - will find some way to completely and irredeemably hose Episode III. Here are ten possibilities how such a hosing may occur:
- After Anakin butchers hordes of Jedi, Padme says: "That's OK, Anakin. Everyone gets angry sometimes."
- Anakin is burned by the lava and C-3PO, who -- as we learned in Episode II --is the master of rim-shot comedy, quips: "Anakin is on fire today."
- Two seconds later, Jar Jar uses the fiery magma to ignite his own flatulence, propelling himself upward 15 feet before landing straddled over a balustrade America's Funniest Home Videos style.
- Jar Jar does NOT get ripped limb from limb and eaten by Ewoks who are themselves mercilessly gutted by a group of hungry wookies
- Anakin tries to emote, sending the audience into hysterics.
- Yoda goes wonky again and starts bouncing and spinning and bounding around the room like a green monkey on crack.
- The Clone/Storm troopers suddenly break from their tradition of missing everything in sight and manage to kill every jedi before lapsing back into ineptitude every time Obi Wan Kenobi is around.
- Darth Vader's suit comes with a conspicuously branded Ipod built in.
- There is another LAME, flat-footed lightsaber fight between Anakin and Count "Aching Back - Creaky Knees" Dooku that leaves everyone pining for Darth Maul.
- The engine exhaust of XWings is pink (anyone else notice that?), a fighter pilot's favorite color for intimidating the enemy.
