[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nimrod Pimding: [QB] What do you mean with "spinny motion"? Do you mean when he twirled his saber in a forward vertical circle when catching up with Jinn/Maul? It's common practice in all martial arts, when an apprentice is excited and apprehensive, to fall back on the training, reclaim confidence in your moves and keep sharp. I was a bit disappointed with the length of the saber scenes in Ep.II. The Ep.I Jinn vs. Maul rounds were ferocious and brilliant, I kind of expected the same vigour this time. The Dooku/Skywalker duel was stale, ritualistic, almost like a [i]Kata[/i]. But this is nitpicking. About the Prequels, Red Admiral, the only things I dislike about them are the Gungans [i](they had some purpose in the plot but Boss Nass' and Binks' antics were too pre-school humor for my taste)[/i], the constant recycling of SW-quotes [i]("I've got a bad feeling about this", "How rude")[/i] and the forced Yoda-grammar [i]("Around the survivors a perimeter create", "To the command center take me")[/i]. In TESB and ROTJ his dialogue was better thought-through. The rest is fine. Thing is, there were so many great things in the Old Republic days that they could've focused on in Ep.I and II that they had to settle for something. Oh, and I finally figured out Jango's Seismic Charges. When freeze-framing on the DVD, it seems that some sort of highly volatile energy-source (plasma or some sort of fuel or dense matter) is released, contained and then "squashed" between two attracting magnetic fields, triggering a massive chain reaction when reaching critical mass [i](kind of like putting a big firecracker in a mailbox)[/i], the effect being a man-made, portable earthquake.
