Oz ,'First Date'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
My youngest tried to explain it to me, but all I got out of it was lots of little boy sound effects with jumping around and then he almost bashed me with his lightsabre.
It's actually really simple--Mace Windu uses the force to fuck up Grevious a bit - some of his "ribs" get bent up, and he starts coughing...
A minor part of the whole saga, but some people have seen Ep III and were confused by his coughing.

'Cause he's a robot. He doesn't breathe. Even after reading your whitefont, I'm wondering why doesn't he just get his voicebox thingy repaired? What's the point of being a robot if you can't fix things like that?
So, less confused than irritated.
AotC: Worst romantic dialogue in the history of civilization
True, but hardly essential, unless you're trying to convince yourself that the romantic dialogue in RotS could be a lot worse because it does not contain the line "I hate sand. It's irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like you."
Actually, he's a cyborg. He has a reptilian head (behind armour) - how much more is organic isn't known.
Also, the stuff I whitefonted happens immediatly before the beginning of Ep III, so there was no time to fix things.

Oh, okay. Would have been nice of George to put that in the actual film.
It is well-known that R2D2 has the BBOC factor going for him.
For me, the two unforgivable things were Jar-Jar and the romantic wildflower scenes.
Love the cartoon Clone Wars. Genndy rocks.
I was 7 when the first Star Wars was in theaters and my brother was in my mother's belly.

The announcers during the pod race and just about everything C-3PO said in AotC (specifically, the factory scene) also go under that heading for me.
It's actually really simple
Ahhhh, thanks Tommy... I basically got "and then the guy with the puple lightsabre goes jump, jump, jump with lots of spitting, and then the plastic lightsabre is headed toward my head and I'm not paying attention to anything but not getting hit... often parenting is dangerous.
I remember I saw it in 1979 at the re-release, but I can't recall if it was my cool moviegoing aunt or my cool moviegoing cousin that took me.
Anthony Lane re Revenge of the Sith:
The prize for the least speakable burst of dialogue has, over half a dozen helpings of “Star Wars,” grown into a fiercely contested tradition, but for once the winning entry is clear, shared between Anakin and Padmé for their exchange of endearments at home:
“You’re so beautiful.”
“That’s only because I’m so in love.”
“No, it’s because I’m so in love with you.”
For a moment, it looks as if they might bat this one back and forth forever, like a baseline rally on a clay court.
