Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones 15th anniversary

I prefer to pretend that Mace Windu was just one part of a larger Luke fever dream he had while recovering from the Wampa attack.

Sam Jackson was so horribly miscast as anything other than a borderline fallen Jedi himself. Morgan Freeman would have been so much better and might have even rivaled Sir Alec himself.

 

[karamazov80]

I don't think the casting was so bad. Not every Jedi needs to be a wise old man. I think he was on par with McGregor as Obi Wan in that sense (though I think McGregor is a better actor overall).

But also, Freeman has standards. . .Jackson doesn't

[karamazov80]

That's actually not even the lowest hanging fruit

That would have been my next choice if someone tried to contradict me.

L-O-V-E-D that movie as a kid, though.

It's a respectable enough film in it's proper context. A competent crowd pleaser in 1991 before Braveheart and LOTR would change medieval type movies forever.

 

[karamazov80]

Braveheart's not really for kids, though. So, I see them as pretty different. But then, I haven't watched either movie in over 20 years.

Remember the reused Kenner Star Wars and Super Powers for the Robin Hood figures and playsets? Always fascinated me as a kid. Good times.

I do remember seeing the Kenner Ewok Village doubling as the Sherwood Forest Hideout.

 

[Bravomite]

Robin Hood starred Alan Rickman so is automatically awesome.

Still do.

Would buy 1/6 figures of Robin, Azeem and Sheriff.

Song is great, as far as '80s style ballads go.

Yep, I even noticed it as a kid, since I had the Super Powers Green Arrow and Robin Hood from that line.

100% Yes

This. I haven't watched the whole movie in many years but it was on TV just in the last year and I caught the end of it. I was literally loling at Rickman's antics during the wedding "ceremony."

 

[Prime Clone]

You mean his maybe-he-died-maybe-he-didn't blown out a window "death"...? Yeah, that was epic.

Just so long as he stays dead, unlike Maul, Fett al.
