Nerd alert

Ok I've beaten The Force Unleashed multiple times (fucking KICK ASS game by the way) and been watching The Clone Wars cartoon with my seven year old and I've been wondering when the hell was it decided that Jedi can't kill someone while angry? In The Force Unleashed when you beat the game you're character is about to kill the Emperor when the wise old Jedi tells the character "let it go. he's beaten. if you strike him down in anger you'll end up back where you started" so of course the main character lowers his light saber and the Emperor reacts by using Force Lightning to strike down the dumb shit old Jedi and your character sacrifices himself saving the Jedi and saving the rebellion which we see in A New Hope. It's like motherfucker had you let me kill the Emperor I'd still be alive, Alderan would never have been destroyed and God knows how many military casualties could have been avoided but no I can't kill someone while angry.

Anyway I needed to get that off my chest.

I feel better now.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Oops. That's the player's guide.

Here's the game. You can definitely find it for cheaper. I love it on my XBOX 360.

Only one answer really - George Lucas and his neverending franchise
Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

Scouser's inability to se others' point of view is rather grating.

It's the principal of it dammit! Better to let an entire galaxy perish than let a single person turn to the dark side!

And on a similarly related note.............you know Mace Windu had the Emperor's wrinkled ass, if it wasn't for stupid Anakin!

I would have agreed pre Force Unleashed but the story was so compelling (in a video game no less) that it shits on all three prequels (not that difficult I know) and now I hope that storyline is visited in the TV series coming up.

I'll never get Revenge of the Sith. During the whole prequel series Anakin is a whiny bitch then it takes him all of 30 seconds to switch to the dark side and start slaughtering children and lifelong friends. Natalie Portman is hot and all but not quite worth mass murder.

In the Force Unleashed I'd be like go ahead turn to the dark side just this one last time. No it's okay I'll turn my back real quick. Just kill the Emperor. We'll make it look like an accident.

Lucas really dropped the ball with the prequels. Visually they were stunning, and all the Jedi stuff was pretty badass. Story wise and especially the dialogue was pretty damn horrendous. Sith was def. the best of the three, and manages to rank as the 3rd or 4th best SW movie overall. Because Lucas didn't have the story, flow, and continuity tighter in the first two prequels, he had to cram EVERYTHING into ROTS at the last minute. Anakin should have already been older in EP I, then he could've shown his turn more gradually, instead of BOOM! you're bad. And then his 30 second explanation of "force ghosts" in the last 5 minutes of the movie...........bad George, bad!

I loved the light saber battles in Phantom Menace but in the later films I started getting annoyed cause they went all Jackie Chan ESPECIALLY the Obi Won and Anakin on Mustafar. I mean swinging on cables? Come the fuck on Lucas.

And give up I have the high ground? What the fuck does that even mean? And if the high ground is so damn important then someone tell that to the two pieces Darth Maul at the bottom of some shaft.

Lucas should not be allowed to direct. He got lucky with V. VI was excellent and was directed by Irv Kirshner.

Anakin was annoying as a little kid and a whiny bitch as a teen - ie annoying.

Anakin is actually more interesting in the animated series. Sad.

Jart Jar Binks?


Finally one of the worst lines ever:

"Hold me like you did at the lake on Naboo."
