yup

first half hour and last half hour of episode I are awesome

Haha, i went to the movies with one of my friends to see sin city, and when the trailer for episode III came up I was like shhhh don't talk, she called me a nerd but I didn't care I got to watch the trailer in peace. It got me really pumped about Star Wars again, I felt like a kid.

4/18/2005 9:42:01 AM

yeah episode one was perfect and met my expectations through the first scenes, literally until i saw jar jar on the screen

4/18/2005 11:21:46 AM

Tickets are on sale at theaters in the area as of today. I just picked up 6 for the midnight showing at Crossroads.

4/18/2005 4:45:44 PM

I just preordered my ticket.

BTW, that website has quite a few spoilers in its description of the movie (mostly stuff that sets up the plot).

Worst voice overs ever

4/20/2005 9:54:01 PM

^

the upbeat-pseudo-Disney-happy-voiceover is an attempt to attract "kids" to go see it as if it was a G movie... although GL has explicitly said he's ok with it being PG-13...

and these voice overs are actually on par with the "real" star wars trailers from the late 70s. Maybe an appeal to some of the older fans

4/20/2005 11:03:19 PM

where do you preorder tickets ?

Lucas always wanted the movies to appeal to kids, hence characters like Jar Jar.

4/20/2005 11:29:53 PM

i know this movie will just let me down, but i can't NOT see it.

4/20/2005 11:31:12 PM

greivous looks lamer than i ever could have expected

4/21/2005 12:44:34 AM

his designer designed him from a squirt bottle nozzle

what else would you expect?

4/21/2005 12:51:08 AM

i like greivous...anyone heard about these german clips of the movie?

Kids dont like crap either, and if they do, they grow out of it and realize its dumb. If you try to make it appeal just to kids right now then it ends up being too trendy/stupid and loses its timelessness (hence episode I and II.

I was not aware of that development, where do I get mine I mean uh, yeah that's stupid.

4/22/2005 12:32:36 PM

I actually really liked both Episode I & II

Honestly I was more disappointed by the Lord of the Rings movies

I'm so ashamed

4/22/2005 12:32:47 PM

ain't no shame

4/22/2005 12:44:06 PM

and the trailer for Episode 3 has me drooling

especially that part when Palpie says "Are you threatening me, Jedi?"

I've been waiting to see him kick some ass for years

I want to see some sparks fly

4/22/2005 1:14:41 PM

someone mentioned spoilers for the movie.....if you've read the books, then you know what happens

when i first saw I and II, I was kinda disappointed, but then i went back and watched them this week, and they really arent that bad, if you just kinda ignore jar jar and make yourself get into all the cgi

4/23/2005 1:42:17 AM

^ Ditto.

4/23/2005 1:45:52 AM

haha it's still hard to watch the gungan battle

4/23/2005 12:23:23 PM

i love me some episode II

4/23/2005 12:29:59 PM

i liked that camera technique they used in battles in ep. 2, where it zooms in

4/25/2005 6:26:58 PM

after looking at this thread yesterday i went back and watched episode II for the first time in a long time

i think i noticed that shmi skywalker had the vader scars on her face after being beaten by the sandpeople

4/25/2005 6:30:22 PM

I watched episode 1 and 2 this weekend and I now realize the true extent of the shittynes of episode 1

4/25/2005 6:33:33 PM

I need to get them on DVD

4/25/2005 7:31:18 PM

Did anyone ever see that "Phantom Edit" that someone made following the release of the Episode I? It supposedly cut off 20 minutes of footage (mostly Jar Jar IIRC) and made the movie flow more smoothly.

4/25/2005 7:49:26 PM

did anyone notice when star wars stopped being good about 25 years ago

4/25/2005 8:03:44 PM

apparently there are talks of a tv series that would take place in between episodes 3 and 4

no idea, but there was a cut of ep II for IMAX that cut out alot of the romance love story bullshit....made it better

"Hollywood mogul George Lucas struggled so much with writing the screenplay for final Star Wars installment Episode Iii - Revenge Of The Sith, he had to force himself to stick to a rigid working day as he sought inspiration. The hugely successful movie-maker, 60, took on the persona of a normal office worker as he sat at his desk for nine hours a day, five days a week - and he still only managed to produce five pages everyday. He says, "I am very diligent about writing. I go to work at 8.30am and leave at 6pm. I sit there with that page in front of me but I still can't write it. I do get it done, I actually write five pages a day. But I force myself - otherwise I would probably write a page a day.""

4/27/2005 1:47:14 AM

god, he sucks. how long did he spend on episode 1 and 2?

4/27/2005 3:19:21 AM

A boobie?

4/27/2005 1:06:26 PM

this is sad to hear about, read the book, scared to see the movie now

4/27/2005 1:58:20 PM

To have faith in lucas(without the influence of steven speilburg) is like having faith in Bush not mispronouncing/misusing a word in a speech.

Might be time to update your similes.

Yeah, that's kind of a big spoiler to post here. Leia says that she remembers her mother, so she shouldn't die until Luke and Leia are a few years old.
