For the record, Revenge of the Sith is not an awesome movie. Poorly written, poorly told, poorly acted, features a 30 minute dance routine as the climax, and then ends embarrassingly.
Hey, I really liked the part where Obi Wan ran under Darth Angst, grabbed the hammer of high ground, and Anakin fell into the lava. Best world 8 since SM3.
Not to get hopes up, but the tweet said that they wouldn't show it 'at E3,' referring to the previous promise of it being playable on the show floor (https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/581579256704081920). Does that preclude them from showing another trailer in the direct or not?

I really hope not. I would love to see more Zelda. Because if they don't, they'll just show Mario Maker for longer than they need to.

I remember a long time ago in this thread... Some people didn't exactly like my idea of a Zelda game with Square Enix's high detailed care for animations and graphics like Final Fantasy XV and even combat like FF XV. Always been a dream of mine to see Link walking to Epona in lush graphics and detailed animations in a game. Hahaha but that's just my dream Zelda game.
I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

I'm not going to argue that it's well acted (although Ewan Macgregor killed it that time), but it's dialogue is written better the other prequels, and the overall story is pretty strong, not getting overcomplicated or bogged down in politics, just focusing on the fall of these characters.
The climax is the best part. That's exactly how you choreograph a fight scene (as opposed to Attack of the clones, which DID look like a dance scene). Sith ends on one of the saddest notes I've ever seen a movie end on. I think I watched it in theaters when I was 12 and I almost cried.

There's no tension. George Lucas made me sit through a duel that goes on forever and not once did I feel like either character was in any actual danger until they had their brief break to talk some more. That's when you know someone's going to bite it. Oh! They stopped fighting and started trash talking again, someone's about to eat dirt. And I bet I know who! It's boring. Overly choreographed and heavily scripted too.
On the other hand, when Luke flips out in Return of the Jedi and just starts wildly hacking at Vader and cuts off his hand, I was stunned, I really thought Luke was going to kill him. He was like 0.2 seconds away from falling forever. Also important, Luke's temptation and ultimate rejection of the dark side felt much more human and palpable than Anakin's acceptance of it. The climax of Jedi was worth 10 Siths.
Could someone merge this with the Star Wars discussion then, this thread has officially been derailed. We can open a new thread for the Legend of Zelda WiiU.

The Anakin/Obi-Wan duel is all about their relationship. It's an operatic expression of how their relationship has collapsed and Anakin's fall to the dark side. Unless you were... like... 7 years old when you saw it, you will have known how it was going to end before it even began, so to expect it to make you feel tension and suspense is a little harsh (though I would argue that when Anakin has Obi-Wan by the throat on the table there is decent tension anyway). You write like you expected the outcome to take you by surprise somehow.
Conversely, it's much more likely that when you first saw the end of Return of the Jedi you didn't know how it was going conclude - there's your tension right there.
That's the trouble with many people discussing the prequel trilogy. It was doomed to fail for many people regardless of how it turned out because it could never fulfil expectations.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

I've officially heard everything.
So Anakin kneels before Monster Mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash.
Ooor, how about that fight between Link vs dark link. you know, multiple fights over the series. Will there be another like it in this one maybe? you know.... to get the conversation back on Zelda U.

This is apparently now a Star Wars thread.
They are designed to show very different things. Anakin and Obi-Wan were clearly evenly matched, hence why the fight worked the way it did. But at the same time, you see the rage in the way Anakin is fighting, and the calm in how Obi-Wan is fighting. Anakin is constantly on the offensive, slashing at Obi-Wan from every direction, while Obi-Wan is defensive, only going offensive occasionally. If you ask me, there were plenty of parts it felt like they were in danger. I mean, they were fighting on a giant lava planet.
In Jedi, the fighting was more sporadic. It wasn't supposed to show an evenly matched fight. It was a fight in the shadows. Each player was trying to manipulate the other with words, prior to fighting.

If Zelda U is still coming out on WII U that means we will have to wait 4 years for a new NX game. Would you prefer they just made it bad ass and launch on the new nintendo system or still have it on WII U?
Its a tough one....
From a business perspective, it would make more sense to launch it on the NX (if it's a console) and the Wii U simultaneously, but of course I would want it released on the Wii U as soon as it's finished.
