I'm with Sol. Hayden's built more like a baseball player.

Padme the cheerleader? I don't think so... more like Padme the one with the bad taste that ultimately killed her.

It's not like it's the first time women pick homicidal maniacs that turn on them.

I'm looking foward to a scene where Hayden doesn't sound like he's having a wet dream. That Ep. II scene made everyone laugh in the theatre.

Well, my doubt was more along the lines of: any self respecting football team would give Anakin a swirly and then toss him in a dumpster.

I can no longer blame Hayden Christensen for Ep II.

Watch a movie called Shattered Glass and see him do a bang-up job as...well...a whiney, immature, conniving, lying fucko.
Pretty good acting though- I really hated him by the movie's end.

Well...not the same kind of whiney, immature, conniving, lying fucko.

He's actually likable at the film's start, and you feel sorta bad for him as al his lies are revealed in painful slowness by his editor.

Well, I'm not looking forward to this, but I want/expect to see:

C-3P0 and R2D2 getting either a full or partial memory wipe. In ANH 3P0 didn't know appear to recognize Tatooine, nor did he appear to recognize the Skywalker name. Kinda odd since Anakin Skywalker built him on Tatooine.

But, I suspect this point will be overlooked.

I think they'll cover the memory wipe. Then again... they may just leave it to be assumed by the viewer that it happened... who knows.

I think that Lucus has said that they will have their memories wiped.

Not that it matters. There are certainly plenty of ways around it (it happens off camera, Threepio is lying through his teeth), and I hate stories that pause to explain pointless fanfacts.

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 expect C-3PO to get a memory wipe, but I suspect that R2-D2 escapes with a bit more of his (its?) memory intact. It did seem a little strange that R2 had a fairly good idea of where Obi-Wan could be found on Tatooine, although I suppose Leia may have known. I just like the idea of R2, with his somewhat limited communication abilities, quietly holding all these big secrets in his memory banks.

Yah, I've always kind of wondered if R2 wasn't a little more clued in to everything than 3PO too...

Now I understand why 3P0 was split up from the others in Cloud City, otherwise the whole plot would've gone to hell.

Han&Leia: GASP!

Vader: We would be honored if you wou- ...Threepio???

3P0: Maker???

Vader: *tear rolls down cheek, exploding helmet*

You would think that Obi-Wan would have recognized the two droids.

On the other hand, droids are pretty ubiquitous.

Personally, one of my PM gripes is that it was completely unnecessary to have Anakin be C-3P0's creator. He could have been on Amadala's ship the whole time. Especially since the saga was to be told from the droid's point of view.

As an aside... We saw a Protocol Droid on the Trade Federation ship in the opening scenes. Anakin a standard-looking (well, after he gets his skin) Protocol Droid. Does this mean you can buy them in kits from Droid-O Shack or something?

With regards to Obi-Wan and the droids, I think the prequels show very little interaction between him and them. C-3PO was left on Tatooine up until near the end of Episode II, with Obi-Wan having met him only once. The only one Obi-Wan might have seen with any frequency was R2. But between Episodes I and II, which are separated by several years, he may have only interacted with the droid a couple times. Unless there's some major change in this trend in Episode III, it's not that surprising that he wouldn't recognize two droids with designations and bodies similar to those of their mass-produced brethren.

Or maybe he did recognize them. Especially after Luke said their names in Ep 4. It wouldn't be beyond belief to imagine that he just neglected to mention he knew them. It would've gotten into a whole part of the story he didn't want Luke to know about just yet.
