Woah. I thought that read "Beru uses a vibrator"!
Man, I need to get laid or more than four hours of sleep or something.

Too bad the whole "ride a rhino" love scene did.
At least that was dropped in the IMAX version!

I'll start with more sleep and more sex and follow additional treatment options as requred.
I dont wear glasses and the "sex therapy" idea has merit....now I just need the right councilor.

I noticed something else in "Clone Wars", while showing it to a friend; in Mace Windu's chapter, one of the clone troopers caught in the sand shockwave emits a Wilhelm!
He's one of my oldest friends, we've made it a running gag to spot Wilhelms ever since the first time we watched "Raiders of the Lost Ark" together, back in -92..

I swear to God, if you and I were in the boat with Charon on the river Styx and I had to pay him gold coins to let us off, you'd babble nonsensical behind me to make me lose count.

I hope we get to see some of the Mace Windu clone-wars bad-assness rub off in the third movie.
I loved those supercharged sprints where everything around him blurs!
The bit at the end with the kid was a bit annoying... if you take it seriously... if you look at it as a joke i.e. Mace Windu - protector of innocent wide-eyed children - then it's funny.

Really? I wasn't so keen. It was pretty obvious that they'd just sped things up and added the blur effects to hide the bad animation.
I mean, Mace Windu as Sonic the Hedgehog? What's up with that?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I just thought that bit with the kid was a homage or something to that sports commerical where some athlete drinks some fan-kids pop drink after a game and then tosses his towel at the kid....or something.

Well we've had Yoda as Sonic the Hedgehog - why not Mace... it's part of the Jedi training, y'know!
No what I meant was - that it was cool to see the 'force sprint' or what ever you would call it - from the point of the person sprinting.
Did anyone else go 'oh no he lost his purple lightsabre!' after the first stomping bit?
Also it was interesting how the stomper/tank thing had elements of Jawa the Sandcrawler - maybe they stole/bought their tech from the Tech-guild/Commerce-Guild or whoever makes those robots.

The background story has it that the sand crawlers were very old machinery made by a long-gone race of entrepeneurs, mining Tatooine for minerals and such. The business waned, as the people left and Jawas took over the sand crawlers. They were built as independent, mobile refineries, I think. The jawas just use them as 18-wheelers, by the look of things.
AndrewR: Yes, the slow sprinting was nice. The blur effects weren't added as cover-up, they were used to show when someone used the Force, so that it was distinguishable. Psyliam, I suggest you watch the beginning of Phantom Menace again, when Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan escapes the Droidekas, they dash away in a blur from pretty much a stand-still, very nice.
I prefer that they make a "thing" out of using the force, instead of the rather anonymous stunts of the original trilogy. When I was little and watched TESB and ROTJ, I didn't get how the hell Luke could suddenly do 10-feet backflips and balance on one hand, since nobody had explicitly stated that "The Force lets you run, jump and fight with increased strength, speed and also prescience against non-force users". When you're 7 you're not much of an abstract philosopher.
Back to Chapter 13: during the last THUMP from the Seismic Tank, Windu creates a slight Force Orb that protects him from the initial wind blast. The dust flows very distinctively around the Orb, I thought it was a nice touch.
And another thing in Chapter 20: when unarmed, Shaak Ti Force-deflects a saber attack, in much the same way that Vader absorbed Han Solo's blaster shots at Bespin. Quite nifty.
