Anakin takes out a protective atmosphere containment shield for the hanger by destorying an external structure next to the entrance.
Yeah I know that regular fighter guns (Ion or Laser) won't make even a dent into capship level shield, but there's those who argue that the Executor was taken down by 3 A-Wings. (and those look like lasers in the music videoVympel wrote:The shields were faltering during the battle, they weren't all down, but that's sufficient to make it obvious that Anakin didn't carelessly blow through capital ship level shielding with his lasers. There's also the RotJ novelization quotes of Ackbar's orders, who states that Rebel fighters "might" have "a chance" against Imperial Star Destroyers if the Rebel cruisers can bring down their shields- which quite clearly establishes straight fighters vs capital ships is an idiotic argument.
There's also the fact that Anakin was using his ion cannons (ICS labels the outboard guns as such).
Yes, the atmospheric containment shield on one of the hangars. Which is inside the main shield, that had been weakened.it a shield on the Invincible Hand
Not really much in the way of anything new there, just more confirmation of the fact that it's not exactly going to be fluffy bunnies at dawn. Although relentless action has been known to get in the way of plot at times, still, whets the appetite that little bit more.BBC wrote: New Star Wars movie 'a bloodbath'
Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith
Hayden Christensen reprises his Anakin Skywalker role in the movie
The new Star Wars film is a "bloodbath" which deserves its parental guidance PG-13 rating, a critic has said after an early screening of the movie.
Revenge of the Sith is the first Star Wars movie to receive a cautionary PG-13 rating in the US.
Associated Press writer David Germain described its action as "relentless".
"It includes sequences more dark and disturbing than anything previously seen in the tragic Skywalker soap opera," he said.
'Gruesomely mutilated'
Mr Germain was among reporters who attended a screening of the movie at director George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch home near San Francisco on Tuesday.
Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith
The movie has not yet received a cinema rating in the UK
"Young Jedi knight Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) completes his transformation into black-hearted villain Darth Vader with a bloodbath against old allies," he said.
"Anakin is left gruesomely mutilated in a death duel with former mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor).
"His surgical reclamation as the part-flesh, part-machine Vader is chillingly juxtaposed against the bleak childbirth scene of his wife, Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), whose twins grow up to be heroes of the original Star Wars trilogy, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia."
The movie has been given a PG-13 rating due to its "sci-fi violence and some intense images", which warns parents that it could be inappropriate for viewers younger than 13.
Children under 13 can still attend the movie in the US if they are accompanied by an adult, however.
Lucas said he was getting "a lot of flak" from parents concerned about the film's US rating.
"A lot of people saying how can you do this? My children love these movies. Why can you not let them go see it?" he said.
"But I have to tell a story. I'm not making these, oddly enough, to be giant, successful blockbusters. I'm making them because I'm telling a story, and I have to tell the story I intended."
Revenge of the Sith goes on general release in the UK and US on 19 May. Its UK rating has not yet been announced.
I just want to say to the parents, "Oh come on, you've seen the OT, you know what's coming. Did you really think it was all going to be all milk, cookies, and Gungans?""A lot of people saying how can you do this? My children love these movies. Why can you not let them go see it?" he said.
I'm reading that one right now. It's either one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my life or one of the best jokes I've heard in weeks.VT-16 wrote:On the "Media reaction"-thread there´s a hilarious negative tirade from some woman with a 9-year-old who can´t handle his "hero" becoming a massmurderer. Lol she even calls Lucas "amoral" for doing it.
