SF Bills Fan Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 WARNING- there are many movie spoilers here. I think it looks like it will be very good and much better than the predecessors, http://www.super-baris.com/ep3/
udonkey Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 awesome...i've been looking forward to this for years (and I'm not old enough to have lived through the originals in their early releases - I can only imagine what you old farts are going through)
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 awesome...i've been looking forward to this for years (and I'm not old enough to have lived through the originals in their early releases - I can only imagine what you old farts are going through My condolences. It was an awesome experience when those movies would come out, seeing them 3 or 4 times in the theaters.
Ramius Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 awesome...i've been looking forward to this for years (and I'm not old enough to have lived through the originals in their early releases - I can only imagine what you old farts are going through) 250710[/snapback] same here, i love star wars, but since i was born in '81, there was no way i could have seen them...i am so sorry i missed out...
Just Jack Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 awesome...i've been looking forward to this for years (and I'm not old enough to have lived through the originals in their early releases - I can only imagine what you old farts are going through) 250710[/snapback] "Old" fart here..... it's feels like someone going through detox must feel. I know my next fix is coming, but it won't get here soon enough.
NavyBillsFan Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Lucas said this would be very dark.... It looks really good! I just hope somebody wacks out Jar Jar!
Hollywood Donahoe Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Lucas said this would be very dark.... It looks really good! I just hope somebody wacks out Jar Jar! Jar Jar survives the film, but don't worry, it's plenty dark. Vader and Palpatine do some evil deeds in this one. Among them: ***SPOILERS*** - Anakin cuts off Dooku's hands, leaving him helpless, then cuts off his head at the urging of Palpatine. - Palpatine zaps Mace Windu with lightning then sends him flying through the window of a skyscraper. - Anakin (he's actually Vader in name at this point) leads stormtroopers into the Jedi Temple and cleans house, even killing young Jedi-in-training. - Anakin force-chokes Padme, which eventually leads to her death.
Simon Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 it looks like it will be very good and much better than the predecessors The problem isn't what it looks like, it's what it sounds like. Some of the most stultifyingly bad dialogue in the history of theatre makes these movies nearly unwatchable unless they're muted. But htey sure look cool as shlt. Cya
Snorom Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 the origninal 3 movies were a great experience, the prequels destroyed all that was great about the 1st three. I had to be dragged to the movies to see star wars, i was 10, but I was never the same after that. I didn't want to see a movie my older sister said was cool
Realist Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Before seeing the new movie, in the meantime, I highly recommend "Labyrinth of Evil". It takes place between Episodes 2 and 3. There's a hell of a lot of action between the two movies.

I didn't want to see a movie my older sister said was cool I thought it was a love story, but what did I know at 7? Went to see it on my bro's b-day and like you, was never the same after that. I even got the original Star Wars action figures, that you had to send-away for. Wish I'd kept them intact!
Marv Levy Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Great Great Great!! I was 5 when I saw "A New Hope". Best movie ever for my generation IMO.

Just like there was no way the prequels were ever going to recapture the magic of the originals.

These movies could stand with visual and music alone.
Dr. Fong Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 I know it's the popular thing to say, but the first two prequels have been really disappointing to me. Just not well made in my opinion. One of the biggest problems I've had is that because it's all shot on a sound stage in front of a blue screen it really lost the organic feel of the original three for me. I'm still looking forward to Ep. 3 and will line up for the midnight showing in fact. I hope like hell Lucas can salvage these prequels with one last great effort, but I'm starting to suspect that he doesn't have it in him anymore.

Ozymandius Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Simon is right that the dialogue from eps 1 and 2 were gawdawful. Another thing that sucks is Hayden Christiansen. He plays Annakin Skywalker like such a little fag that he basically ruins that character for everyone.
