I wanted to resist, but I could not. I think somewhere inside I needed a boost to the ol' confidence on this one. I'm very happy with what I saw, so thanks. George could still fuck it up yet, though. |

Hmmm.. they can try. I'm hosting it though, so they'd have to come track me down. PLus there are other sites mirroring it, so there's no way they can stop it. :) The only way I'll take it down is if I exceed my bandwidth-- which I doubt will happen. |

It wasn't a total spoiler, I didn't see Chewbacca any where and you can buy the new action figure now. Spoiler (read at your own risk) Didn't Lea comment about her mother as a child in ROTJ and here she dies at birth, have to wait for the movie for the final answer I suppose.

Well, in the script, it does say she makes eyecontact with the first born child, Leah. Also, someone else brought up, that since Leah is actually force sensitive, she could easily have visions of her mother in dreams, much like her father Anakin did. So that could kind of explain it. Man, I am such a dork! |

Correct, he is referring to Leia, and this is largely explained during ROTJ. Recall that Luke and Leia are brother and sister, which would make one assume that they were both fathered by Anakin. Cheers, |

Just an FYI: *'Star Wars' Trailer to Premiere March 10 NEW YORK - Darth Vader is coming to "The O.C." The trailer for "Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith" will premiere during the March 10 episode of the Fox show. "Revenge of the Sith" is the third prequel to the original "Star Wars" trilogy. It continues the chronicle of young Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen (news)), who eventually turns to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader. As an avid superhero fan, Seth Cohen, the main character of "The O.C." played by Adam Brody, would likely relish the event. "The O.C." airs Thursdays (8 p.m. EST). * |

Any TC-ers going to the SW convention in Indianapolis this weekend? I have been tapped to write an article about the event for a web site, so I'm headed down there on Thursday in my Chewbacca suit (just kidding about the walking carpet). All seriousness aside, I WILL be down there with the portabar in the Mobile Exploration Lab. Should I mix up anough Missonary's Downfall or Tortuga for a little TC gathering on the exotic island of Dagobah? |

Actually, it was Yoda that said it. In TESB, when Luke decides to forgo his Jedi training with Yoda to go help Leia and Han, Obi Wan says "that boy is our last hope." It was Yoda that said "No, there is another." |

If anyone is interested, here are a few pics from the Star Wars propaganda fest in indianapolis... George Lucas tries to convince us all that ROTS won't suck... Here's a pic of the original Millennium Falcon prop. Someone counted 33 women wearing Princess Leia's palace dancer costume. Someone counted several hundred guys wearing stormtrooper armor.

Just saw the movie. S...U....C....K.....E.....D Consider yourself spoiler warned if you want to stay compeletly pure. All your questions are answered (memory wipe for threepio, etc.) Still, the movie majorly sucks. Lots of stuff blows up, and yet nobody's ever in danger. Face it, Obi Wan and Vader are fighting, you know NEITHER CAN DIE. Yoda and the Emperor fighting, NEITHER CAN DIE. Zero tension. And when secondary characters DO DIE, nobody seems to care. Not one tear is shed by any Jedi even for the children killed. Lame Lame Lame. |

Action scenes good, talking scenes bad. Action scenes were actually quite spectacular. Great fights. Primo, primo movie stuff. Most talking scenes were as a flat as a pancake. The acting was like something out of a high school play. Albeit a $150 million one. Real fanny twitchers. No chemistry between Anakin (sp?) and Padme. Again, high school actors looking earnestly into each other's eyes and intoning unpretty on-the-nose words of undyling love. Man. They really needed to have some of that old TITANIC style lovers-with-the-unbelieveable-hots-for-each-other. Would've made the ending have a lot more punch. Pace picked up nicely toward the end. Lucas delivers. End credits engendered enthusiastic applause. |

Opposite. Action scenes are overblown and too busy with extraneous background baloney to truly follow the action. They were all really flat to me, unispiring. Talking scenes: lots of serious plot this time (for once). The guy who plays Palpatine/Sidious needs an Oscar. He is really frekin' good (except when he's cackling like a chicken). If I weren't already mostly there, he would have had me ready to go to the dark side. He owned the screen every time he was on it, which is a lot. Ewan actually gets to emote in this one too! And there's only ONE truly cringe inducing moment - (a certain character saying "NOOOOOOO!" - when you hear it you'll instantly know who's "noooooo" I mean) - so that's pretty damned good, considering the the last two films had something truly awful every five minutes. It's no Empire Strikes Back, but it beats the hell out of Episodes I and II. |

WARNING: SPOILERS Just got back. Sure, it's easy to just say "it sucked" and be done with it, but it didn't. left me wanting more, so I consider that a good thing. What's up with General Grievous? Is he Cyborg-Sith v0.99? I read somewhaere that Artoo and Threepio never had their memories wiped...so why does Threepio get that ordered at the end (Of course, this may have been a fraudulent quote attributed to George Lucas) Is Palpatine not human, i.e., a shape-shifter? I realize he later attributed his appearance to his confrontation with Mace Windu, but he looked pretty shriveled and decrepit in Eps. 1 and 2 (at least in his cloak). Why don't the Stormtroopers in the original trilogy sound like Jango Fett? Why can't Artoo fly in Eps. 4, 5 and 6? I read somewhere Liam Neeson was making a cameo as Qui-Gon Jinn, but he was nowhere to be seen... I understand theaters with digital projectors are getting a slightly longer cut of the movie, so some of this may or not be answered. Your thoughts?

George reserves the right to change his mind about anything in Star Wars, even twenty years after the film is released, he might change it all. He's making this up as he goes.
That's because George is making it up as he goes.
Because the actor who plays Jango Fett would have been about 12 in 1977. That wouldn't sound very scary, would it. Remember, it's a movie. But don't worry, I'm sure that in a new version George will redub all the stormtrooper voices..... with Ahmed Best!
Because they couldn't make the robot fly in 1977. Hell, they just about couldn't make it roll in some scenes.
I'm not trying to be a jerk here. I'm kind of pointing out the obvious. Why didn't Yoda jump around and do Jedi-Fu in Empire strikes back? BECAUSE HE WAS A PUPPET. A lot of things in those old movies were done because of the limitations of the time. George throws off those limitations in the new movies, then retouches the old movies or invents "reasons" why he hasn't broken the continuity of his story. It's not Gospel. It'll NEVER all match up with all the comic books and videogames and tie in novels where you once read that the Wookies were powerful Jedi and Darth Vader was raised by Ewoks. This stuff gets my ire up, because people just keep trying to make it all link up. People are going on online about how Leia says she remembers her mother, and now we see she was just a newborn. So now they're all arguing over and over about how she remembers her mother by using the Force, or whatever. It'll NEVER all line up. So for those folks, here's your option: Understand that it's just a movie. In the 80's George wanted Leia to say one thing, and now, 20 years later, when he gets to the scene, he wanted it to play a different way. The other possibility, if you really have to reconcile it, was to just say that Leia was wrong. She THOUGHT she saw her real mother, but she was mistaken, or dreaming. People make mistakes all the time. I made one by seeing any of the prequels. Darth Vader is now ruined for me. "Nooooooooooooooooooo!" :wink: |

Much anger I sense in you, BarkerBird. More attatched to these movies that you admit, you must be, to be so upset. If low expectations you have, dissapointed you will never be, and pleasant surprises in the existing gems of coolness, you will find. Good dialogue you should not expect. Only a movie it is, as you claim. :) |

Actually, I had the lowest possible expectations for this movie. And it was just about what I expected. A couple of things were better, but they were ancillary things. Threepio stopped being Jar-Jar lite, which he was in the last movie, for instance. And they decided to cut out the fart jokes. Star Wars used to mean something to me. A big something. It's a big reason why I do what I do for a living. Don't worry, it wasn't this film that made me stop caring about Star Wars. It was the previous two. This one got much better reviews though, so I had a slim line of hope. But I can't say I was looking forward to this. It wasn't the worst film I've ever seen, which is just about how I'd describe episode II. This one is worse than just about every Star Trek movie, and that's saying something. But it's not as bad as the last Batman movie, for instance. I would say that Episode I was better than this one. That had the Pod Race- one of the best film action sequences of all time, and none of the action in this one matches up. That one had better lightsaber fights too. Darth Maul ruled. |

I know, I know, but whay I meant was, if he updated Boba Fett's voice in the originals, why not go all out and update the stormtroopers' voices as well? Don't worry; I know it's just a movie (well, a series of movies). I'm not losing any sleep over it, just wanted to encourage a friendly debate. |

those Jango clone troops actually age too... and they stopped making clones after that. 20 years pass between the prequel and originals, and they allowed normal shmoes to become Storm Troopers and go train to be a Storm trooper. But yeah, keep in mind the 20 year thing. |

I seriously thought the "Nooooooo!" bit was an intentional joke at first and then thought, "Oh wait, was that supposed to be serious?" Is there no one working with Lucas that could've mentioned that maybe the shot wasn't as effective as Lucas was hoping? My take on it: Hayden was hot. But Ewan was hotter. (Always liked the older ones.) And where do I get a Princess Amidala Star Stewardess Go-Go mini dress? |

A minus?!! You're giving it a pass because it's "Star Wars." If it was a new movie you didn't know, you'd never give it an A minus! I have a theory that there's a certain cache that fans have built up about Darth Vader. Those emotions are the result of the work of the first films. Something tells me you could prop the Darth Vader suit up on a broom, and walk it through the scene, and some fans would applaud wildly. As seen here, the only memorable line uttered by James Earl Jones in this film is completely and utterly laughable, and yet, witness the bowing down of fans worldwide to the "power of the dark side." Glad you liked it, Tangeroa. Glad someone likes this stuff. To me, George Lucas is the new Paul Pressler. Some people can't see that the magic has faded. There may be two ways to see this film. But from my point of view, it's a horrible, disgusting, far-too-violent and gorey film with no redeeming moral quality. Very un-Star Wars for my taste. Moviegoers with children should be warned. |

FYI, there's also a Tarzan yell in RotJ when an Ewok swings on a vine. It's very obvious and lame. What's George's thing with swinging hairy creatures & Tarzan yells? I'm seeing the movie today (free & during work hours - the only way to go!) and I couldn't care less about it. |
