I actually liked this part.
One: it shows that everyone has it in them to fight, even the best zen masters. And in that fight, he does chose saving the twoyoung Jedi versus getting Dooku.
Two: you always see oda barely moving, or even using a levitating sled to keep up with the larger species. Then he is kicking ass versus Dooku. once it is over, he is back tobarely moving. The true master conserving energy until it is absolutly needed.
Three: it was that primal "go Yoda, kick his butt" reaction that got the crowd going.
I also agree with Zapp. If I wanted to be nitpicky (which I have) on how it
is not IV or V, then I am going to be disapointed. I find at least something in every new movie that
I do like. and am entertained none the less by figuring out the way that GL is going to connect the story. Yes, there is hokiness, nut loook at most Disney movies. they use the same formula also, and we like a majorrity of them.
I guess it comes down to this: We can bitch all we want, but its not our story, nor our franchise. Are we mad because we have invested som much into this and now are mad because in all this time, we have written our own story? If so, maybe we need to go do that and see how or story goes after 20 years and all the money, etc...
Or we can go and try to lose ourselves in a movie for a couple hours, then a couple more when the DVD with the extras come out.
Our expectations can make or ruin the outcome for each of us.
