The final Star Wars movie Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith has been slated by outraged fans, because it's riddled with continuity errors. Viewers have inundated website Moviemistakes.Com complaining director George Lucas's blockbuster contains 14 glaring mistakes. One film fan says of the latest film, "When he is telling Anakin how proud he is of him, Obi-wan's eye color shifts from Ewan McGregor's natural blue-green eyes to a dark brown." Another fumes, "When Samuel L. Jackson says, 'I don't think the boy can handle it, I don't trust him,' his lips don't match his dialogue." But the mistakes in the current release are nothing compared to the original 1977 film Episode IV - A New Hope which contained 214 mistakes, and its sequel The Empire Strikes Back, which contained 144 errors.
In the words of Mission of Burma, that's when I reach for my revolver. Pistol whippings for the lot of 'em. The one thing a fanboy cannot stand is a worse fanboy, and there's always a worse fanboy.
Some people are really, really, really unclear on the care and feeding of geeks.

Talk about closing the barn door after the geeks have escaped.
Sounds like that showing's for the tragically unhip who wish they could be geeks, now that geeks are cool.
Any cred to the rumor that Tom Stoppard helped write the screenplay for ROTS?
If there is, he should commit hari-kari now before anyone can confirm the rumor.

That sounds like a sarcastic joke more than anything.
So, standard Lucasian fare, then, huh? I saw the rumor in the New York Times review...probably what happened was that Lucas faxed Stoppard the treatment and offered a million dollars if Stoppard would screenwrite. Stoppard's response was probably something about all the tea in China.
Or, you know, maybe he did help out. Maybe in response to the fax, he sent back an edited version with the note "I was never involved in this, but here's a freebie" and all Jar-Jar's scenes cut out.
Or else he changed all of Jar-Jar's dialog to nothing but profanity.
That'd be if Mamet was writing it.
