Your single most annoying thing/mistake in a movie!

In fairness, though, if you convert that to a percentage of an average weekly wage, it's probably equivalent to today's prices. It just looks cheap because of inflation.

Are you familiar with the term “buzzkill”?

Just watching Revenge of the Sith and the battle between Yoda and Palpatine towards the end of the film. Both are able to shoot lightning from their fingertips so why do they need lightsabres?

Yoda can't, he absorbs the Emperor's stuff and fires it back. Emperor has a lightsabre as it's a necessity against sorts like Mace WIndu and also it's a rite to make your own on.

The Emperor lightninged Mace out the window.

Things you always want to know the answers to, surely.

Only when he was distracted by sandman and after Mace had already beaten him and was dawdling before killing him.

Not really annoying, just an observation that Steve McQueen riding a Triumph TR6 painted to look like something German in the Great Escape.

I would say if he knew Mace was coming to arrest him he could have thrown him around using the lightning and out the window long before Mace had the chance to get close enough to use his lightsabre.

With users of equal or higher power, it's not that simple, it's like two UFC heavyweights fighting each other, Brock Lesnar can't ragdoll Shane Carwin etc. In the canon (back when I cared ) Mace was considered the best fighter, that's why the boobs he was with got aced in seconds and he beat the Emperor, and the EMperor would have been toast, if not for 'I hate sand' boy

edit
So without Vader, the Empire would have been over before it started. It's why Emperor tried top peg it before Yoda.

Not a mistake I hope, but channel surfing this early evening I landed on an episode of “The Sweeney”, Inspector Regan walked into a pub and asked for a bottle of Scotch.
The publican produced one from out the back and said, “That’ll be £3.31 please.”
I thought, ‘£3.31, f***ing hell!’

Haha - yeah Regan orders a couple of pints, whisky chasers and a packet of fags, the Batman says that’ll be 70p Jack. 70p??? Gawd, prices these days!

FORD PREFECT: Arthur! Come back: it’s pointless! Hell, I better go after him. Barman quickly, can you just give me four packets of peanuts?

BARMAN: Certainly sir. There you are, twenty-eight pence.

FORD PREFECT: Keep the change.
