The main bad guy for the new Star Wars movie is a droid. Middle guy in the picture. General Grievous is the name.
There are only two Star Wars movies, the original and “The Empire Strikes Back,” which will one day possibly have a sequel.
(sticks fingers in ears, shouts LALALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU!)
Is it just me, or does star wars kinda suck?
I just can’t get into it. Except for those little dudes in the hoods with the glowing eyes. They rule. The rest of it suxors.
Also, any movie wherein a brother and sister share tongue time is not going to sit well.
Jawas rule
And Vash, it wasn’t revealed until the third movie they were brother/sister. And they stopped doing the tounge thing by then.
Now imagine if Padme turns out to be Anakin’s sister!
AWWWW COME ON CSN
Return of the jedi wasnt so bad. i mean there needed to be an ending right?
(takes fingers out of CSN’s ears and yells) "YO PUNK DONT DISS THE HOLY TRILOGY.
Peace,,,TWS
One word - EWOK.

Really? I thought the 3rd movie is basically about how Anakin finally becomes Darth Vader, and Palpatine openly shows himself for what he is. And what happened to Count Dooku?
I was in High School when the first came out. Whoa. I didn’t like it nearly as much as I do now. Even my sons go crazy over it.
The first was renamed " A New Hope" and is my favorite. The others, except episode 1 the 4th to be released, are ok. Episode 1 kinda sucks.
joedoe, Anakin is going to kill Dooku in the opening sequence. What happens is Palpatine is captured by Dooku (either betrayl, or to lure th Jedi there to die) and Anakin kicks his butt.
Ok, here is the dillyo. In the opening sequence, Palpatine has been captured by Dooku. Number of reasons floating why.
1.) Palpatine hopes Dooku is defeated by Anakin, thus planting the seeds for his betrayl to the dark side. (Dooku does not know).
2.) Dooku wants to actually kill Palpatine for whatever reason.
3.) Plot to lure Anakin into the open, being killed by Dooku so the most powerful Jedi is gone.
I think it is either 1 or 3. I think it might be a mixture, Palpatine wants Dooku dead, but if Anakin dies in the process, he’ll keep Dooku.
Star Wars Rules!
Star Wars movies are great fun IMHO. If you’re looking for quasi accurate science, seriously intellectual plots, etc then look elsewhere. I think Empire was by far the best of the lot. The two new movies disappointed me in a major way. I think it was a huge blunder by Lucas to try and cater to the kiddies by adding Ewoks and [gag] Jar-Jar Binks. From what I’ve heard the upcoming installment is a lot darker. Supposedly it flirted with an R rating and may even end up PG-13. Given Lucas’s habit of pandering to the kids even at the expense of a great story, I seriously doubt it will be anything other than a very mild PG. The fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan is reportedly the longest fight scene ever put on film. I guess we’ll see. I’ll go check it out, but I bet I’ll still come away thinking that Empire was as good as Lucas can get, and Boba Fett is the baddest MoFo who never got enough screen time. 
Hmmm
Star Wars was never renamed “A New Hope” it was always called “Star Wars: A New Hope”.
Watch the credits at the start.
Hhmmmm
And of course in this one Yoda and Obi Wan die too.
Think about it before answering back. This is an age old rumour, and the major hints are Obi Wan’s final light sabre match with Vader in Star wars and Yoda passin away in Return of the Jedi.

Dooku hires Asaaj Ventress to kill Anakin because he knows the Emperor has Anakin in his sights for his next apprentice. Palpatine knows Ventress will fail, so he doesn’t much care.
Dooku wants to actually kill Palpatine for whatever reason.
Because Dooku has succumed to the Dark Side, and is drunk with his own power.
Plot to lure Anakin into the open, being killed by Dooku so the most powerful Jedi is gone.
That’s what Ventress is for.

Palpatine knows Anakin is the most powerful Jedi ever. He knows Dooku won’t defeat him. It’s all part of his master plan to exterminate the Jedi order and get revenge for the defeat of the Sith. Darth Bane has been passing this down for centuries to his apprentices. Palpatine is the one to bring it to fruition.

Its just you.

No…Yoda learned in AOTC that it is possible to survice death when Anakin kills the Tusken Raiders. He hears Qui-Gon’s ghost in distress during the event. Up until now, the Jedi believed that the Force was a physical thing, governed by midi-chlorians. Now, Yoda has learned that the midi-chlorians are not the connection and that we are in fact “not this crude matter.” The arrogance of the Jedi order is obvious in TPM and AOTC…now, we will see them fall for it. Remember, in AOTC, it is hinted that they are losing their connection to the Force. This is because they blindly trust science and machines, which is how the Empire comes to power in the first place.
In EP III, Yoda will teach Obi-Wan how to survive death in case he needs to watch after Luke after he dies. Anakin learns this, too. That’s why Vader has a meditation chamber on his ship The Executor (as seen in ESB).

A New Hope was added to the Re-release in 1978.

It was the baddest that Lawrence Kasdan could get! He wrote it.
Learned Something New
Thanks MK I never really paid that much attention to the credits, kind assumed all things Star Wars were Lucas’s baby. Thanks for the factoid.

Lucas was the concept guy behind ESB and ROTJ, but hired other people to write and direct. The problem with TPM and AOTC is that he chose to write and direct himself. I guess he forgot about a little something called Howard the Duck.
