Oh sweet jesus. ANOTHER Star Wars movie!!! George Lucas needs to take his money and shove it up his...okay I'll stop now.

[Gemini Cricket]

I read the 'crawl' and laughed.
"The fiendish droid leader?"
Oy vey! lol!

Without clicking on the above links.....I just gotta say that my middle daughter's obsession with Darth Vader has definitely kicked up a notch this year.....her bday is two weeks before the movie hits the theaters, and she's have a Darth Vader birthday party. :devil:

Okay, now I'll go click.

Come to the dark side...

[Jazzman]

Woo hoo! Hayden Christensen getting thrown into a vat of molten metal! Now that's entertainment! :devil:

I heard a rumor that Samuel Jackson's gonna die though... I wonder what happens to Yoda?

[Mr D]

Yoda dies many years later. Personally Episode three will be the biggest event of over 25 years of Star Wars, I cannot understand why people do not understand the the historic significance this next episode is, of course those that gripe about the new episodes were not born when the original Ep 3 came out and how it affected everything and everybody.

Those of you that don't appreciate the endless timeless story please let us others do....

I'm really only interested in seeing this one to see how Lucas is going to tie this trilogy into the New Hope trilogy.
There's so much to cover in 2 hours or so. Should be interesting.

I hope they dont change the stormtroopers voice into the clonetrooper voice. I'm not really digging the clone trooper voice overs.

I don't think they will since Lucas already switched Boba Fett's voice to the same as Jango Fett's with the DVD release. If he was going to change it he would have done it at the same time. My thinking is that by the time of 'A New Hope' most of the remaning StormTroopers are no longer clones but regular recruits, since there is no mention of Cloning in Epsiodes 4-6 other than Obi-Wan saying he fought in the Clone Wars.

[Bass Shakers]

So this Grievous guy kidnaps Chancellor Palpatine? Suuuure.
I hope they have a scene out of the Big Lebowski: "Chancellor Palpatine..he kidnapped himself, man! I mean, he owes money all over town, including to the droid army patsies....I mean, he's gotta build a death star..hadn't that ever occurred to you, uh, man?"

Yeah.....There is a God!!!!!!

"Why it's your father's lightsaber....When you absolutley positively have to kill every last MO**** FU**ing stormtrooper in the room...ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTIONS!!!!"

NOT SAMUEL J!!!! Damn...He's my fave actor. Oh well, he was too low keyed in Star Wars.

Oh well, Hayden Christiansen Disfigured...The Emergence of Vader...The rise of the Empire...Chewie makes his appearance...and hopefully Jar-Jar faces a very slow and painful drawn out death at the hands of Vader and all would be right in the Universe.

I read the script. So DARK, so fast, so wonderful. Of the six movies, this is my favorite script.

But I'm a huge fan.

If the final episode (though its in reality #3 in the saga series) is done right that is correctly it will be the crowning masterpiece of both the 20th and 21st century. There has only been a few series even remotely as close as SW in viewer loyalty such as the Matrix trilogy. LOTR is the obvious most popular series though it and Matrix were developed in a shorter and closer time span.

Star Wars cannot be replicated and hardly imitated though its hopeful another producer/director may take up with episodes of after #6 (the legacy continued from Princess Leia/Hans Solo) that GL did visualize, if I remember correctly the original saga was of 9 episodes and was slated to finish around 2008 or so but rumors are that GL wants to retire entirely.

The absolute best thing that could happen would be for Disney to buy the rights to produce, direct from start to finish the final three episodes (7,8,and 9) use these for the base theme of Tomorrowland and update ST.

It would be expensive but a better deal than buying the Family Channel or even ABC.

With a proper theme and story its possible to even surpass a Pixar dominated future.

BUT.....only if Disney could approach Lucas and obviously Eisner failed in all respects of supporting a proper business relationship.

I actually read somewhere that Lucas' Daughter was going to take over the helm of Directing Episodes 6-9 (Probably on some fan boy website). Pretty scary since she's the one that convinced her father to put in N'Sync as Jedi in Ep. 2 (You see them on the huge Jedi fight in the Arena- I cheered as each one was killed)....or was it his youngest daughter who wanted N'Sync. Anyway, I think Lucas handing the Star Wars Universe over to Disney is a bad idea except to bring it to life as rides and attractions. Honestly, would you like to be sitting in Star Wars movie and see REX (The Droid from Star Tours) in a role.....Oh wait, that would be pretty cool.

I'm so excited to see the story come full circle...it's gonna be great!

Yes!!!! I keep waiting for a line like this for Jackson, for all of us hopeless movie geeks! Or even better, (I'm daydreaming) you see only Mace Windu's shoes walking along the corridor, the bottom of his robes floating along behind them. Faintly, then growing, you hear the opening guitar licks of the Shaft theme, then just as it opens up he draws his light saber and starts kickin' clone trooper @$$!

"Oh, who is the man, who'd risk his neck for his Jedi brother man?...."

Mace: So Yoda, would you give a man a foot massage?
Yoda: No, Wont says I
Mace: Ya' know Yoda, My feet are getting awfully tired.

(opening trunk of landspeeder, Obi Wan looks in)
Obi Wan: Who's the stiff?
Mace: That is Greedo, old employee of mine. Had to let him go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Pointing blaster at Count Dooku's head)
Maceoes Yoda look like a B***h?
Dooku: What?
Mace: Say What one more time M****r *r!!!! Does Yoda look like a B***h to you?
Dooku: Nnnnnnooo
Mace: Then why ya' trying to him like one Dooku?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mace: Check out the big brain on Anakin!!!

I only watch the original film nowadays and try to avoid all of the disappointing sequels. The original, joyful, breezy Star Wars was really coming from an entirely different entertainment/tone aesthetic. Too bad the recent films are so leaden... I really don't care if I ever see the next one, but I surely will... :botox:

...just wish they would stop retitling Star Wars "Episode IV: The New Hope" on packaging.
