He was also responsible for the Luke/Vader/Emperor Scenes. The forest chase, the end battle and Jabba's court.
If you want to hold him responsible at least make it fair and balanced.

Those are flawed as well :lol

First, Luke's "plan" and court scene. He goes to talk to Jabba looking and acting like a badass (for the first time in the trilogy) and he quickly gets captured. His plan A, to shoot Jabba with gun...really? Plan B worked and the only reason his rescue attempt worked is because R2-D2 was positioned on top of Jabba's ship to launch his lightsaber. Fine, and what would Luke have done if that little dwarf in a can-costume didn't show-up on top of that ship? What if the ship was simply too far for R2 to even reach Luke with his lightsaber throw? What if Jabba thought R2 was a crappy robot and broke it in hundreds of pieces or just left R2D2 behind? What if Jabba scanned the robot and saw it was hiding a lightsaber or some weapon? What if Luke were dropped in the sand monster with handcuffs? If this is the best plan he could come up with after months of preparation? And lets not forget, one of the worst deaths in film history, Boba Fett (yes he was dead).

Then, Yoda dies minutes after Luke shows up to finish his training. Right before Luke entered his hut, Yoda was standing there making a little soup and everything, not sick in bed :lol He was probably waiting for some female company, but Luke shows up, so he was like **** it, I rather die than to listen to this prick again. Either that or Luke got Ebola from Jabba or something and accidently killed Yoda with a space disease . And what was the deal with Luke's "final test" to become a jedi? He had to beat Vader? What? Did Obie Wan fight Joda to the death too to finally "graduate" ?



The forest scenes, well we see the Rebel commando team in the forest of Endor wearing camouflage and painting their faces like Arnold in Comando to stay hidden from the "Elite" storm-troopers. Great, but it's pointless when you also bring C3P0 who is a golden robot that reflects light, can’t run or crouch, makes loud robotic noises when moving, never shuts the hell up, and makes everyone grunt and make noises when they interact with him.

Then, On Endor, the Storm troopers are so ELITE that they don’t need radio transmitters. No sir, when they want to talk to their main base about anything, let’s say: an incoming surprise raid which could threaten the Empire, they have to hop on super-sonic bikes and travel through a racing track that would make Mario Kart’s rainbow road look like a piece of cake. But that's not all, The Elite Storm Troopers on Endor are incapable of beating teddy bears. It would be similar if we took the best special forces has to offer today, send them in the past to fight less equipped people and see them lose. Except that in ROTJ the soldiers also have futuristic armor, laser guns and robots, while the enemy are nothing more than 20-pound teddy bears that can barely run. It makes no sense.

Not to mention, there shouldn't be an Endor since the destruction of the second death star (which had the same flaw as the first one...what could go wrong the second time?) would cause so much damage that anything around shouldn't even survive it, even the rebels. It's basically a freaking artificial small moon exploding! :lol

Lets talk about Luke,Vader and the Emperor. The Emperor's plan sucks. He has very strong, clairvoyant powers in the force yet refuses to use them to find whoever is threating his Empire. Instead, his whole plan to not completely destroy the Rebel troops in space is to get Luke in an angry mood to push him towards the dark side of the force...to make him an ally. That's pretty cunning, man! But why tell your plan to Luke? ''Take your weapon. Strike me down with all your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!''. Why would you say something like that? Why would you tell Luke exactly what was in store for him if he followed your manipulation? Dumb...still not as dumb as droids feeling pain and screaming when you burn their feet.

Then after Luke beats Vader in the slowest lightsaber fight ever, the Emperor is slowly killing Luke with his lightning bolts/Thor powers; Vader then takes him up – walks toward the reactor shaft – and throws him down with no resistance on his part. Why didn’t the emperor react? In fact, it’s not like Vader had that much grip on him having only one hand. One hand and he was dying of asthma!! The Emperor had a good 10-15 seconds to do something...anything and he's like super "powerful." Well, apparently not, so no need for Luke to join Vader to overthrow the emperor and rule the galaxy as father and son, yeah...Vader could have done it all with one hand all along. Well, that craps on ESB. Way to go, GL.


I only like the first two films, I thought ROTJ was garbage to sell more toys to be honest. I give credit to Lucas for the first film though :monkey3 At this point it's impossible for Disney to damage the franchise more the Prequels and ROTJ already have.
 
yeah, well if we start ripping into the OT what's left?

Empire? One movie (which also has some issues, just a lot less than the others). :lol

Nah, there was some cool **** in Jedi, just more actual **** as well.
Getting back to my point, Lucas was like that with all the Star Wars movies. To say you like Star Wars without acknowledging that Lucas created everything on screen (good and bad) is a tad unfair in my opinion.
 
Can't argue with much of that to be honest. :lol

This is exactly how GL approached the PT. The Jedi Order had THE Sith Lord of Sith Lords rubbing his *** in their faces, but through ALL THREE films they were completely clueless - channeling Mr Magoo no less.

This will cost you 20 Galactic Credits in a Mos Eisley back alley. Or so I've heard.

:lol Well, that's an image I won't be able to forget now :lol But you're right, it wasn't just some mind level Jedi that was clueless, it was Yoda and the other high level Jedi members, who spent the majority of their time "meditating" and being in touch with the force.
 
The whole concept of Jedi vs. Sith, light side/dark side is lame anyway.


If the only benefit of becoming a Jedi is to be a part of a council of weirdos who can't feel, have sex or get married and the only benefit of being a Sith is living a life of pain and misery as some old, wrinkly dudes servant boy, why would you want to be either of these kinds of warriors? No wonder both sides are practically extinct.

Both side offer great health/medical insurance :lol Or did you think Anakin had to pay for all those medical bills and the helmet and suit? :lol

That's why Kyle Katarn is the best.
 
No, he's right, Kyle Katarn is the best. He's like Han Solo and Luke Skywalker combined.
