[Chimeco]

I just caught the latest trailer for Revenge of the Sith. WOW.

Nice.

But...the trailers for 1 & 2 were also pretty enthralling - and led to a sense of disappoint.

 

[Chimeco]

no doubt. it does look exciting though. I feel like a happy, expectant kid watching it.

Nice.

At the moment my questions revolves around the fact that the Jedi were exterminated apart from some students and old masters.

They can't cover that in one film. In the comic books droids seem to have been used extensively to battle against Jedi.

This may happen again along with more clone troopers.

 

[Chimeco]

if the extermination of jedi happened over the course of years or decades, as they're each individually hunted down and killed... That'd lead to some great and tragic side stories.

i kinda think this is where Lucas went wrong. There was just too much buildup in the first two episodes and not enough concentration on the main events as we were expecting it. Now everything that we know to happen has to evolve in a 2-3 hour segment. He should have just started with Clones, and gone from there (with a different anakin actor -Hayden is aweful).

My favourite gem from Episode IV is Obi-Wan saying "When I first met your father, he was already a great pilot"

Exactly, Chimeco - and as Winters Sorrow pointed out in the above quote from ANH - it should have started with Obi Wan meeting Anakin as a young man, and gone from there. Then Anakin's descent could have been explained by his coming late to the training (as well as Obi Wan's admitted inexperience as a teacher).

And for mine the whole droid army stuff could have been left out of it. What self-respecting Jedi gets done by a droid?

Or some hilarious ones...like the green muppet they call Yoda getting totally slaughtered. Of course this would lead to some discontinutity with the earlier films but hey a great moment justifies itself

Sorry if I annoy SW fans, just that I find Yoda a very overrated and annoying character

 

[Brian G Turner]

Yoda the muppet was more interesting than Yoda the 2-D computer animation, though.

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

you can't go wrong with muppets

Imagine if the new Star Wars prequels had been filmed in the style of the Dark Crystal.
I'd loved to have seen Darth Muppet.....

 

[Chimeco]

heh. I still have the first dvd release of the dark crystal in the plastic wrapping. maybe it'll be worth something someday.

 

[Alia]

Just need to brag, I have in my hand 4 tickets for the midnight showing of The Revenge of the Sith! Yeah!!! I will be among one of the few hundred in my town to see it first!
Just a few more weeks now...what 14 or 15 days.

 

[Rane Longfox]

I saw the advert for it when I went to watch Hitchhikers, it looks really good, but then, so did the advert for the MAtrix Revolutions...

 

[HenryVI]

OMG!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting for this film for my whole 15 years!!!!!!!!! Even though episode 1 and 2 were pretty bad, the originals will never die! And Alia, I am sooooooooooooooo envious!

 

[Alia]

Eat your heart out Henry... I put my order in for those tickets when the last movie came out, which btw, I saw it too, at the midnight showing on opening day. Tired the whole next day at work, but so worth it. The crowd was alive with cheering and clapping, it was an experience I'm glad I didn't miss...
After I get done seeing it, I'll post telling you how great it was... maybe if you try hard enough you can smell the popcorn on my breath.
Oh, am I bad...
am I rubbing it in...
lol

 

[Tsujigiri]

A little rubbing never hurt anyone

I shall wait till it has been out a bit, then I will go and see it at 1am, when I have the cinema to myself.

 

[HenryVI]

yeah lol, share the suspense with yourself while you are in your SW pj's that have attached feet.

 

[Defanos]

Okay, I didn't think AotC was all that bad. It's a lot better than PM at any rate. The thing I am MOST looking forward to (in a depressing kind of way) is seeing the fall of the Jedi. I mean, we all know the only ones left in Ep IV are Darth Sidius, Darth Vader, Master Yoda and Master Obi-Wan. It's going to be interesting to see how the whole Jedi fall to just two men. I'm quite looking forward to it!

Dude......right on bra, right on, im so tried of Mace's crap i hope he gets killed by Boba Fett instead of a sith, it would make my day, im defently going to see this next friday.

Go head and mock Henry... I'm still seeing the movie before you. I'll tell you all about it too! I won't leave out one little detail either! lol
