Topic: Why did GL make episode III funny?

Why did GL give battle droids a personality for episode III?  I think that it was because he wanted to lighten the depressing mode.  It makes perfect sense for a comedian but not for a SW geek like myself

I hate how the droids are in ROTS. Their voices are horrible.

Oh i hate that, the droids weren't even droids any more, I think one reason is because the droids got smarter by the end of the war, these were those smarter droids with slight ability to think on their own

no that can't be it because i think the TF were smart enough to memory wipe there droids now and then

I agree, the droids were lame and I thought it took away from the quality of the film.

The whole   "giving droids personality" thing did ruin the droids in the movies.....one thing i regret on SW....

Yeah, they were much better in Episode 1 & 2. But I have to admit, I like the part when the droids moan when they get hurt...........but it's much cooler when they dont say anything when they die either, I guess
.

man i love the drodis vocies in ep3 they were awesome!

I don't really like them but I didn't direct the film. Nothing we could have done I suppose

I didn't  like it when the droids were making fun of R2-D2. They said "stupid little astro droid!" now what kinda droid would make fun of another droid? Huh? Then when R2 bursted them into flames, I said "That's what you get!" :D

I think that was one of the funnier parts in the movie. It got a chuckle out of me...

The droids are hysterical!! I LOVED the part where the SBDs were making fun of R2... My four friends and I were the only people laughing though...

don'tcha hate it when that happens....everyone like...starts looking at you weird too.

                                                                   {MW} MS9

GOD I HATE THAT! I'm gonna put that on the anger management thread!

Good idea.........

What would be your favorite sw character??

Let's stay on topic.

I agree

The only good part was when R2 zapped the SBD and the droid kicked R2

Yes, the personality in the droids make them look like fools. In TPM, the droids were cold blooded killing machines. But now, they aren't being took seriously because of it. Although, it is a tiny uplifter. :/

No, because in TPM the droids had all those stupid bugs like "uh oh""Roger Roger""Uh..We uh... you're under arrest" and could be taken out with one shot and i fail to see how they captured Naboo without the super battle droid.  The only things really cooler than the super battle droids were the IG-100's.  Supers could be killed with a direct stab of a lightsaber and not much else and does anyone else think the Flanneled one had a glitch when he called the Grevious boddygaurds IG-100 and 2 decades later the IG-88's are built?

TPM was ok,
Jar-Jar and Anakin were damn annoying but all in all it was ok.

AOTC was good
The REALLY stupid jokes were more than stupid though.

ROTS was Mega Crap
Too many stupid jokes. R2-D2 says "Uh Oh" WTF!?!?!
It was slow and everyone already knew the end. Yoda's Stupid fight with Palpy was completely unneccessary and stupid....

It was awesome! What are you talking about?

{MW} TW

Humorbot5,you're no right on this one.ROTS was damn too good!The opening space battle,the forming of the Galactic Empire,Anakin's turn to the Dark Side,the battles...Everything was more than perfect! :o

Droids, we're talking about droids and GL making ep. 3 funny.

Not whether or not we liked ROTS

Let's return to the topic if anyone has anything else to say. Otherwise, as I've said before, "Start another topic about it"

Humorbot got a little off topic. Lets move on......

{MW} TW

Well,the droids had strange voices in ROTS..I mean in TPM they were cooler.I think that GL made ROTS funnier(and not funny),because with all the events that happened(Anakin dark side,Jedi massacre,Empire rising)there was certainly need for humour because we would all cry...

{MW}DMC

I??? I got you off topic???

No, I said ROTS was rubbish because of the jokes and other parts.
You guys went off topic by telling me I was wrong. I was on topic the whole time.

ROTS was unnecessarily funny. R2-D2 and the Battle Droid's lines were there just to entertain a new generation oif kids.

It was corny and stupid.

I know, it was sad. (the voices) I wonder if George Lucas came up with it on his own or got it from his kids?

Oh REALLY!?!.....

Whats this then???

TW :|

What I found bizarre about the beginning of Ep III was all those exchanges between Obi-Wan and Anakin, where they use those little signals like the kinds baseball players use...that was just...strange for George Lucas.

Wasn't the signal thingie a deleted scene? The one where they cut through the floor and drop into the pipes or something? So it wasn't technically in the movie itself. I don't even think it was in the book, cause I heard Shaak Ti dies in the temple, but in the deleted scene she dies on the Invisable Hand.

True.In the extras DVD,we can see Shaak Ti die by Grievous.That really pissed me off BTW....

Oh yah, I seen that part too, but it really didn't make me mad though, at that time I was upsest with the sith and all the bad guys that ever took part in starwars.
