Bad moment, but it's not technically a "save". For a bad straight out save from Star Wars, how about Luke getting his a&& kicked by the cackling Emperor, whining "Father! Help me please!". I always thought the conversion of Vader from this super bad buy who'd spent decades murdering his own former Jedi fellows to a good guy was rushed. We didn't get enough time to believe his love for Luke would grow like that. After all, he'd told the Emperor earlier Luke would joing them or die, then, after one meeting (when Luke, manacled, is carted off to the Emperor) he starts having pangs of guilt?? WTF? There wasn't any real time devoted to him and Luke getting to know each other, to bond. So that's his son? Big deal. The guy's killed God knows how many children over the years.
Every time i see that scene i hiss at the screen. -------------- Original message -------------- From: Bosco Bosco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Here is my nomination for the worst bad plot blockbuster of all time: Revenge of The Sith: Anakin haunted by visions of the death of his beloved Padme embraces the Dark Side in order to save her from what he sees as an inescapable fate and when she questions his judgement, he attempts to kill her. Not only is this one of the insipid and lackluster character motivations of all time, it's also the single most disappointing moment in the history of Sci-Fi. Watching George Lucas destroy what could have been the single greatest legacy in the history of the genre and essentially reduce it to used asswipe is staggeringly heartbreaking. Arguably, there has never been a moment more anticipated or considered in the history of Science Fiction than the transition of Anakin Skywalker from Jedi Knight to Sith Lord. How could he possibly have done that to himself and his work? Bosco --- "Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.
