Das sehe ich genauso. Jedes Bild und jedes Video von Anakin in RotS war einfach nur genial. Ich denke, dass Christensens Schauspiel für die Qualität der Dahrstellung von Anakins Fall bürgt.
Ich mag vor allem diesen Blick, der irgendwo zwischen haßerfüllt, gequält und irre hin und her pendelt.
Die Lichtschwertaction von Anakin war bereits in AotC genial. Es sieht einfach nur cool aus wenn das Lichtschwert in Hüfthöhe um die Hand rotiert. In RotS wird sich das fortsetzen, es sieht einfach alles ungeheuer cool und lässig aus.

Das ist sicherlich richtig, jedoch muß man dieser Liste noch Christopher Lee und auch Nathalie Portman (Sie ist einfach eine wahnsinnig gute Schauspielerin. Beweis: "Hautnah" - ihre Dahrstellung der Alice ist phänomenal) hinzufügen.

Irgendwie nix Neues...außer:
Tellanroaeg
Was ist das? Noch ein neuer Planet?!?

Done with all this twisting of the truth...
Die Szene wird mal verdammt tragisch. Einer von Obi-Wans besten Freunden muss ihn angreifen. Und Obi-Wan hat keine andere Wahl, als seinen Freund Cody zu töten....
Wies aussieht geben sich die Schauspieler ja echt Müe, besonders Hayden...
... Aussicht auf einen Oscar?

Never Ever!!!
Oscar für Effekte: 99%
Oscar für Musik: 50%

Aber welcher Film in diesem Jahr sollte RotS denn bitte in Sachen Effekten noch toppen? Was wir bis jetzt von ILMs CGI-Arbeiten gesehen haben, war ja wirklich erste Sahne
Ein sehr aussichtsreicher Kandidat ist meiner Meinung nach "Kingdoms of Heaven".
"Harry Potter 4" vielleicht....-aber da glaube ich auch nicht dran.
Ganz hart wird es aber gegen "King Kong" zu bestehen. Weta wird schon einen Affen machen, wo man sich ständig klar machen muß, dass man King Kong nicht casten konnte.

Ian Mc Diarmid sollte mindestens eine Oscar-Nominierung bekommen, wenn er seine Leistung aus RotJ wiederholt.

Hier noch das Original von Ternian:
-neuer Planet: Tellanroaeg
-bestätigt: Obi-Wan tötet (wahrscheinlich) Cody
-verschiedene Lokalitäten: medizinische Einrichtungen, Raumhafenkneipen usw.

Utapau & Its Inhabitants
Today I want to give you a bit of back story on the planet Utapau. Star Wars ?historians? will recognize this name from the original drafts of Star Wars. It was even at one point Tatooine. I?m glad to see the planet name resurface but did you know its origin is actually derived from the two species that inhabit the planet? There are two kinds of beings that inhabit the planet as you know. The Utai are the shorter, CG aliens you?ve seen on Starwars.com (Art of Revenge) and the Pau?ans are the creepier folks that look like Tion Medon.
The short Utai have always lived in the sinkholes that spot the planet. After a climate change, the Pau?ans migrated down into the holes and the two species co-exist in a mutually beneficial environment. The Pau?ans represent only about 30% of the population of Utapau and are the city administrators and bureaucrats. The Utai are the labor class.
There?s a main city called Pau City, where Obi-Wan arrives, lands and talks with Tion Medon who is at first cagey but then secretly informative. He?s the master of port administration for Pau City so he has to be careful about what he says. The Separatists have come to occupy the world and the Utapau people accept this with no arguments, however, in secret, they?re preparing to rebel. When Obi-Wan arrives, Tion Medon, ever the bureaucrat, acts as if nothing is out of the ordinary. However, while Obi-Wan?s starfighter is being refueled, Medon whispers to Kenobi that the Separatists have indeed taken over Utapau.
But why is Obi-Wan there in the first place? Well, as you know he?s after Grievous. Palpatine enjoys this because with him out of the way, Palpatine can goad Anakin a little quicker. Dooku?s out now and Palpatine has stepped up his plans to replace him with Anakin. Obi-Wan?s not around to keep Anakin on the straight and narrow, like a drug addict who?s lost his ?sponsor? in a way. He?s got no one to keep him in line and the ever-persuasive Palpatine can work his Dark Side mojo.
Anakin sort of resents Obi-Wan, as seen in EPISODE II as well. It was really Anakin who saved the day in rescuing Palpatine and bringing that crashing ship down to the surface of Coruscant. He also saved Obi-Wan?s neck that day, rendered unconscious for a time by a Magna Droid. If not for Anakin (and R2-D2) that mission would have totally failed, yet the Jedi Council hold Obi-Wan in high esteem and consider him the only one talented enough to go after Grievous on Utapau. I say totally failed, because the Jedi not only wanted to save Palpatine, but bring back Dooku alive, and this was not done.
Why did the Separatists take over Utapau? Well, for a visual answer, head to Starwars.com and read the webstrip Reversal of Fortune by my friends (though they'll never admit it publicly, the bastids) Tom Hodges (artist) and Paul Ens (writer). There are panels there that show Grievous arriving and bringing the whole Separatist Council (Nute Gunray, Rune Haako, Wat Tambor, San Hill, etc.) to Pau City for protection; a temporary sanctuary. Darth Sidious sent them there, of course.
So what about this Boga creature? Well, for starters, Boga is not the name of the species like the Wampa, it?s the creature?s name. The creature is actually a veractyl. I like the dinosaur-like name. Anyhow, Obi-Wan chooses Boga based on his feelings that she?s a good creature and she is FAST. She takes Obi-Wan ten levels down the sinkhole in record time. Unfortunately, Boga will be yet another EPISODE III casualty, lost to a barrage of clone trooper fire, after the clones turn. The Utai are the keepers of the veractyl and have learned how to tame them over the years. They?re the equivalent of Utapau horses.
Tion Medon is a great looking and intriguing guy. He?s not a major character in the film by any means and his screen time is probably quite short but his back story is fun and fascinating. Just like Chewbacca, he?s been around a long time. He?s not only ?old? but he?s been the Master of Port Administration for over 200 years! He has an aide named Lampay Fay who looks a lot like Tion only with darker robes that don?t go up over the ears or anything. These guys are high brow citizens with ancestors who were key to the planet?s history. They look creepy but are good beings. Pau?ans have those creepy teeth for a reason ? they like their meat raw.

Emotional Rescue
Well it?s Valentine?s Day and I already used my Billy Squier reference so here?s a Rolling Stones reference for ya. Valentine?s Day is supposed to be a happy holiday but we?re talking about the deep, dark EPISODE III here which is a tragedy by all means, especially in the romance department.
Well, start to make fun of me now because in my old age, I?m getting sappy. Seeing some of the stuff I?ve seen and reading more and more about the film, I?m starting to get the impression that if it?s done correctly, the dialogue is right, and the scene goes as I think it?s going to go, I may come close to tearing up (aka getting emotional) in the movie theater. I?ve seen some pics of the dying Padmé and one shot actually gave me a little chill when I thought of the weight of it all. Now seeing that scene, moving, with dialogue and all that, might get me going. Obi-Wan is there, with his hand on top of her head and the emotion is definitely there. If all goes well this will be the most dramatic and heart-tugging moment in the whole saga. Check this out:
Feelin' it?
Vader/Anakin dying never made me choke up, sad as it was. Obi-Wan?s death was sudden and kind of shocking and then there was a lot of action so there was no time to feel anything for me, plus his voice came back so it didn?t bother me. Yoda dying was always a little weird to me because he was walking around just fine and then sort of just?dies. I was sad but nothing too bad. Shmi?s death was dramatic but I was wayyyy more into Anakin?s reaction! There were others but no death will come close to the emotional response, if done correctly (and I?m sure it is), that this death scene will evoke. I surely hope this is the case. Just thinking about it actually makes me a little sad. When you see the photos, I think you?ll agree ? it?s just tragic on many levels. She just had twins and has to say hello and goodbye at the same time. I can?t imagine having to do that. Come on Lucas old buddy, don?t let me down!

Rumor Recap
Well, last time I threw together a bunch of little random facts for you, some reported already, some new, some just here for fun. I'll throw a few more here for you now and when I can clear a few more, I'll surely pass them on.
- The Jedi Starfighters are now called Jedi Interceptors and they're not the only ships that have a TIE fighter reference, there are other small ships that look like the letter H from the front in the film, most noticeable escorting Palpatine's Theta-class shuttle from Mustafar to Coruscant to rebuild Darth Vader. These ships are called V-Wings.
- Another medical droid that works on Vader is FX-9. Fans will know that name is similar to FX-7 from EPISODE V. They look a LOT alike except FX-9 is black and has some rounder parts. He's got blood splattered all over him too - neat stuff. Nice visual connection.
- General Grievous doesn't know he's serving both Palpatine and Darth Sidious and therefore doesn't understand why he can't just assassinate Palpatine. Otherwise he would have just killed him and not captured him, scoring a major victory for the CIS. He doesn't know that Palpatine is Sidious. He is a General and just wants to win the battle.
- The Invisible Hand is blown in half due to communications mistakes. Palpatine is on board, of course, and it's basically Anakin and R2 that guide the ship down to the surface.
- The remains of the Invisible Hand doesn't crash into anything too dangerous. It actually crash lands (controlled crash) on what looks like a big runway but in the middle of the city. There are some great shots of this, with the Fireships all around. The cockpit view is breathtaking.
- The bad dream that Anakin has is of Padmé dying in childbirth which, unfortunately, comes true. The part Anakin didn't see is that it was he who was responsible for it.
- The troopers that accompany Anakin Skywalker on his killing-raid of the Jedi Temple are members of the 501st Legion. That should make certain fans VERY happy. (Not sure if this is mentioned in the film itself at all.)
- Commander Gree is the clone commander who betrays Yoda on Kashyyyk. Commander Cody turns of Obi-Wan on Utapau. Bail Organa uses a homing beacon to contact them after the clones turn.

Der vor kurzem angekündigte Spoiler vom Kampf Ani/Obi vs. Dooku ist nun erschienen.
It rocks !!!
Februrary 15 2005
Spoileriffic's 1206-word Report on the entire Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi versus Count Dooku duel scene from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
The ongoing space battle over Coruscant is visible outside the massive windows of the General's Quarters on board the Federation Cruiser. The multi-leveled room is cold and metallic, featuring familiar flower-shaped control consoles on either side of the room. Palpatine can be seen, cuffed to a large (and also familiar) chair, across the room. The sound of the large entry doors are heard and our heroes Obi-Wan and Anakin step in, looking over the room from the small balcony. The two proceed down one of the sets of stairs on either side of the balcony and walk to the kidnapped Chancellor. There doesn't seem to be any sign of the rumored General Grievous... maybe this won't be so hard after all.
Just as the two Jedi reach Palpatine, a concerned look comes over him, and with a nod, he simply says, "Dooku". Anakin and Obi-Wan turn to see Count Dooku step through the entry doors with a SuperBattleDroid at each side. He casually walks forward to the railing and in a sudden and surprising acrobatic feat he springs forward, flipping and twisting over the railing, and sticks a solid landing on the floor below. Rising from his crouched position he unclips his curved lightsaber from his belt, but does not ignite it. The two droids stand guard at the doorway above.
Dooku strides across the room confidently and says, "Your swords please, gentlemen. We don't want to make a mess of things in front of the Chancellor." The two Jedi are not about to underestimate the Count again. They immediately begin shedding their robes in preparation for battle. They walk forward to meet Dooku in the middle of the room. "This time we'll take him together." says Obi-Wan to his former apprentice. Anakin replies, "I was just about to say the same thing." as they come to a stop, standing face to face with Dooku once again.
"You won't get away this time, Dooku." states Obi-Wan as he ignites his lightsaber. Anakin does the same. Dooku holds his saber out at his side and switches it on as well. "Do not assume that just because there are two of you, that you have the advantage." warns Dooku. Palpatine looks on anxiously.
Within moments the duel has begun and the three fighters engage in a flurry of attacks and spins. Dooku manages to keep both Jedi at bay with some extravagant swordplay. After a few seconds the fighting breaks and Dooku steps away from the Jedi, backing toward the entrance side of the room. Anakin and Obi-Wan follow cautiously and together they attack again. This part of the room is more open and the three now fight with large lunges and traverse much more distance. Acting on a quick moment of weakness, Dooku thrusts out his open palm at Obi-Wan, and sends the Jedi flying backward with the Force. Anakin does not hesitate to continue his attack on the Sith Lord who cost him his arm 3 years ago. Anakin fights Dooku with much skill and confidence. Clearly, he has grown much more powerful since their last encounter. Anakin forces Dooku backward, and up the nearest set of stairs to the raised balcony.
Obi-Wan gets back to his feet and heads for the other set of stairs. The two SuperBattleDroids on the balcony now open fire on Obi-Wan, who blocks and deflects the blaster shots as he proceeds up the stairs. He ricochets one blaster bolt back at the farthest droid, which strikes the droid's chest and takes him out. The other droid continues shooting and begins walking down the stairs. Obi-Wan swiftly hacks the SuperBattleDroid in half as he passes it to reach the top of the stairs. He rejoins the action and the duel becomes two-on-one again.
Dooku is determined to seperate his opponents so that he can handle them each separately. Dooku delivers a strong kick to Anakin, which sends him tumbling back. Dooku then uses the Force to attack Obi-Wan once again. This time he holds Obi-Wan in place, and levitates him several feet up. Then, in a quick motion, he sends Obi-Wan flying across the room, and into a balcony on a far wall. After smashing into the balcony's railing, Obi-Wan drops to the floor, unconscious. Dooku intends to finish the job and as he holds out his hand, he uses the Force to pry that balcony from the wall, allowing it to fall onto Obi-Wan. The balcony crashes down, but only part of it lands on Obi-Wan's leg.
Anakin attacks Dooku with even more fury. They fight their way back down the stairs to the floor below. As they grind their sabers against each other, Dooku comments that he senses the dark side in Skywalker: Anger, aggression... "But you do not use it." he says. They clash swords again and fight their way back closer to Palpatine, who watches intently. Dooku and Anakin do battle with all they've got, and in a very quick motion, the victor is revealed.
Anakin hits down Dooku's arms with his lightsaber hilt and pulls Dooku's saber out of his hands in the moment of confusion. Simultaneously he slices his blade through both of Dooku's wrists. Dooku reacts with a shocked expression, and the triumphant Anakin stands tall with a lightsaber in each hand. Dooku looks at his cut-off forearms and drops to his knees. Anakin steps forward and lowers the lightsaber blades in a scissor-like fashion to Dooku's neck.
Dooku looks up at Anakin and for the first time we see fear in his eyes. Anakin is now hesitating, realizing that killing Dooku is unnecessary since he can now be easily arrested. In a commanding tone, Palpatine says to finish him. Breaking character, Dooku turns to Palpatine with a look of suprise and says, "What?! You promised me amnesty..." This only seems to confuse Anakin. Palpatine again insists that Anakin finish the job. "I know I shouldn't..." Anakin says to himself. But after a few more of Palpatine's words, Anakin looks down at the defenseless Sith Lord and decides it's time to put an end to him for good. Anakin throws his arms to the sides, causing each lightsaber blade to slice through Dooku's neck, decapitating him. Anakin watches as Dooku's head tumbles off of his torso, which promptly collapses to the ground.
Anakin helps palpatine out of his restraints. As Palpatine rubs his chafed wrists and stands, he reassures Anakin, "He was too dangerous to be left alive." Anakin expresses some remorse at what he's done, but Palpatine reminds him that this is not the first time he's done something like this. "Remember what you told me?" Palpatine says, "About your mother and the Sand people?" Anakin does not continue the conversation as he rushes to his fallen friend Obi-Wan. Anakin pulls him from the balcony and inspects him. Palpatine walks past them in a bit of a rush and heads up the stairs toward the doorway.
Anakin reports that Obi-Wan doesn't appear severely hurt. Palpatine turns and looks down from the balcony. "Leave him." he says. Anakin looks up as if to demand an explanation. Palpatine says that they must go quickly, and taking Obi-Wan would only slow them down. Anakin states that he will not leave Obi-Wan behind... "His fate will be our own."
It rocks !!!

He ricochets one blaster bolt back at the farthest droid, which strikes the droid's chest and takes him out. The other droid continues shooting and begins walking down the stairs. Obi-Wan swiftly hacks the SuperBattleDroid in half as he passes it to reach the top of the stairs. He rejoins the action and the duel becomes two-on-one again.
Dooku is determined to seperate his opponents so that he can handle them each separately. Dooku delivers a strong kick to Anakin, which sends him tumbling back. Dooku then uses the Force to attack Obi-Wan once again. This time he holds Obi-Wan in place, and levitates him several feet up. Then, in a quick motion, he sends Obi-Wan flying across the room, and into a balcony on a far wall. After smashing into the balcony's railing, Obi-Wan drops to the floor, unconscious. Dooku intends to finish the job and as he holds out his hand, he uses the Force to pry that balcony from the wall, allowing it to fall onto Obi-Wan. The balcony crashes down, but only part of it lands on Obi-Wan's leg.
Anakin attacks Dooku with even more fury. They fight their way back down the stairs to the floor below. As they grind their sabers against each other, Dooku comments that he senses the dark side in Skywalker: Anger, aggression... "But you do not use it." he says. They clash swords again and fight their way back closer to Palpatine, who watches intently. Dooku and Anakin do battle with all they've got, and in a very quick motion, the victor is revealed.
Anakin hits down Dooku's arms with his lightsaber hilt and pulls Dooku's saber out of his hands in the moment of confusion. Simultaneously he slices his blade through both of Dooku's wrists. Dooku reacts with a shocked expression, and the triumphant Anakin stands tall with a lightsaber in each hand. Dooku looks at his cut-off forearms and drops to his knees. Anakin steps forward and lowers the lightsaber blades in a scissor-like fashion to Dooku's neck.
Dooku looks up at Anakin and for the first time we see fear in his eyes. Anakin is now hesitating, realizing that killing Dooku is unnecessary since he can now be easily arrested. In a commanding tone, Palpatine says to finish him. Breaking character, Dooku turns to Palpatine with a look of suprise and says, "What?! You promised me amnesty..." This only seems to confuse Anakin. Palpatine again insists that Anakin finish the job. "I know I shouldn't..." Anakin says to himself. But after a few more of Palpatine's words, Anakin looks down at the defenseless Sith Lord and decides it's time to put an end to him for good. Anakin throws his arms to the sides, causing each lightsaber blade to slice through Dooku's neck, decapitating him. Anakin watches as Dooku's head tumbles off of his torso, which promptly collapses to the ground.
Anakin helps palpatine out of his restraints. As Palpatine rubs his chafed wrists and stands, he reassures Anakin, "He was too dangerous to be left alive." Anakin expresses some remorse at what he's done, but Palpatine reminds him that this is not the first time he's done something like this. "Remember what you told me?" Palpatine says, "About your mother and the Sand people?" Anakin does not continue the conversation as he rushes to his fallen friend Obi-Wan. Anakin pulls him from the balcony and inspects him. Palpatine walks past them in a bit of a rush and heads up the stairs toward the doorway.
Anakin reports that Obi-Wan doesn't appear severely hurt. Palpatine turns and looks down from the balcony. "Leave him." he says. Anakin looks up as if to demand an explanation. Palpatine says that they must go quickly, and taking Obi-Wan would only slow them down. Anakin states that he will not leave Obi-Wan behind... "His fate will be our own."
