Wesley Crusher and Jordie are gayer than Ewoks and Gungans.
Hey MK?
Man you know what Hooked me onto The Next generation? When i Saw,in the beginning shows, Dianna Troi in her Intergalactic cheerleader outfit 
We have Liftoff…poof. :o
I liked the lightsabre fights in the old movies and do you know why? KENDO.
I can see your point. Apparently Lucas didn’t realize that Kendo pervades all intergalactic plasma sword combat. What was he thinking in the last three movies?
Wesley Crusher and Jordie are gayer than Ewoks and Gungans.
jordie is alright, I think his character suffered more bad writing then anything else. Wesley Crusher however SHOULD FUKKING DIE.
I loved Jar Jar and the Ewoks. I love everything from the fuzzy little cute creatures down to Han shooting Greedo first. 
I have no need for everything to be raw, in your face, adult oriented action.
I prefer the new fighting. In episode IV Darth moved like a 400 year old man. (Um .. a 400 year old man whose name isn’t yoda)
And I think Hayden does awesome in his role. In Episode II, his description on what he did to that villiage was awesome. I could see just enough evil in it. Young Anakain was fine as well .. he was an innocent kid. Innocent kids say Yippiee. Also it brought more depth to the character to see how far he traveled down the dark side.
And yes Ewan Mcgregor rocks in his role. He does well in all his roles.
But we are talking about the holy grail of movies. You are always going to find someone critical of it. In the meantime I will be watching my updated original trilogy on DVD and enjoying every minute of it. Ummm .. while I sit in a horse stance.
You know what I hate about the OT DVDs?
Luke’s green lightsaber in ANH on the Millenium Falcon. It’s supposed to be blue.
The red boxes they forgot to digitize out when the tie fighters attack the MF in ANH.
WTF George? You can make an enitire movie digitally but you forget to quality check the most important DVD release in the last 5 years???
The “Wesa Free” line added to the end of the celebration in ROTJ.
Everything else is cool.
The only thing I hate about AOTC is the stupid picnic scene. I can live with everything else.
Argh!! So many acronyms. Well I think the ABC should LOL and say WTF! Because the RSVP will BRB and then we all will be ROTFLMAO. Makes my heard hurt reading this thread.
I’m with you on AOTC - I oculd have done without the picnic scene.
I got a couple of questions I can’t seem to find the answers for. During the movies does anyone know if Shaakti has a padawan?
I still haven’t heard what the deal is with Palpatines appearance as the Emperor, is he hiding his ugliness? I had heard that in EP III something happens to him that explains it all.
Was the Juggernaut vehicle created by the Lucas team or was that a product of the fiction they decided to include in the movie?
Shaak Ti has Padawan’s in the EU, but not the movies:
Shaak Ti has trained two Padawans in her career as a Jedi Master, but sadly saw both of them fall victim to criminal killers shortly after their passing of the Jedi trials. For years, she secretly kept in her heart the pain of losing Fe Sun, one her students, to the Zeltron murderer Lyshaa, though her Jedi demeanor of detachment hid these emotions.
The Emperor is using the Force to disguise himself. He’s really old, using the Dark Side to prolong his life 'unnaturally." The Sith see immortality as living forever; the Jedi see immortality as merging with the Force. This is the dichotomy presented in EP III.
I don’t know what you mean by Juggernaut. From the new trailer?
At the end of the new trailer, the 10 wheeled vehicle the clones are using. In the EU, more specifically the West End Games RPG, it was supposed to be a precursor to the AT AT walker, and later functioned as a command center and combat platform for the clones/stormtroopers.
Ok, I’d heard that about the Emperor but then read in what I thought was the script that something happens to him that changes him in the movie. It makes more sense since aparently the whole immortality thing seems to be one of the things he entices Annakin with.
i went to midnight showing of the past 2. might as well do it for this one. since this one looks awesome.
The death of Anakin Skywalker
Obi-Wan dives into a forward roll that ends up with him on the rim of a low cliff, just above the soft black sand of a lava riverbank.
Anakin snarls at Obi-Wan, realising he has been tricked. He leaps off his droid at Obi-Wan’s back but is half a second too slow.
Obi-Wan whirls to parry Anakin, but his saber doesn’t meet Anakin’s blade. Instead, he slices off Anakin’s leg at the knee. Then he slices of the other leg at the knee. And while Anakin is still in the air, Obi-Wan uses his blade to slice off Anakin’s left arm above the elbow. He steps back as Anakin falls.
Anakin drops his lightsaber, clawing at the edge of the cliff with his mechanical hand, but his grip becomes too powerful for the lava bank and the edge crumbles, and he slides down onto the black sand.
His severed legs and his severed arm rolls into the lava below him and immediately burns.
Anakin claws at the soft black sand, but his struggling only makes him slip ****her. The sand itself is hot; digging his mechanical arm into it burns off his glove, and his robes begin to smolder.
Obi-Wan picks up Anakin’s lightsaber. He lifts his own as well and weighs them in his hands. Anakin had based his design upon Obi-Wan’s and thus they appear very similar.
“Obi-Wan…” pleads Vader from the riverbank. Kenobi looks down. Vader’s jedi robes burn while his hair is blackened.
“You were the chosen one! It was said you would destroy The Sith, not join them. It was you who would bring balance to The Force, not leave it in darkness. You were my brother, Anakin,” says Obi-Wan. “I loved you, but I could not save you.”
Above in the sky, Obi-Wan sees a Theta-Class shuttle entering the atmosphere.
Suddenly, Darth Vader bursts into flame.
“I hate you” screams Vader. Obi-Wan Kenobi turns, not wanting to go against the Jedi Code and murder, walks away.
DAAAAAAAAAAAYUM
SAN HILL
Welcome, Lord Vader! On behalf of the leadership of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, let me be the first to…
VADER
Very well. You will be the first.
VADER removes his hood and ignites his saber.
SAN HILL
You’re Anakin Skywalker!
VADER digs his saber into the chest of SAN HILL.
VADER
The resemblance is deceptive.
SHU MAI
We were promised a reward…a handsome reward!
VADER
I am your reward. You don’t find me handsome?
RUNE HAAKO
Stop! Enough! We surrender, do you understand? You can’t just kill us!
VADER
Can’t I?
RUNE HAAKO
We’re unarmed! We surrender! Please, please, you’re a Jedi!
VADER
You fought a war to destroy the Jedi.
VADER slashes RUNE HAAKO.
VADER (cont.)
Congratulations on your success.
MK, can you re-post the link to the real trailer? The original seems to have expired.
It’s on StarWars.com now.
Riiight. I guess I could’ve figured that out myself. Thanks anyway.
Star Wars Republic Commander, the video game was promoted as having some pre episode III filler info.
MK or Philbert, or anyone else, to what degree do you know about it? I have the game and am roughly half way through I think. So far the game mostly gives insight into the development of small clone commando units designed to be sort of special forces for clone troopers. The game introduces a slaver race that uses alot of shot guns, and seem to be the grunts for the separatists in conjunction with the bug race from geonosis (?sp). I’m at a point now where the “Delta” commandos are on a covert mission on the wookie planet to save their captured leader.
As far as I know, you just get to see some new creatures and locations from EP III vignettes of the Clone Wars battles.
so, how many of you guys or gals, going to skip work on the opening day of SWIII, I probably going to wait about 2-4 weeks before i go see it, let the crowd die down some. i waited about a month before i went to see I and II. not too fond of crowded movie theather.
Im gonna go to a midnight showing.
EPISODE III TERNIAN REPORT: You Sure Is Ugly
March 19 2005
At the entrance to the Jedi Temple, a hunchback brings forth a baby to the disguised Clone Troopers. In the hunback’s arms is a small baby. The hunchbank presents the baby to the Clone Trooper, claiming it is a Jedi.
“Anyone could grab some deformed kid and claim it’s anything they want. How do you know it’s a Jedi?” asks the Sergeant.
The baby replies: “My lightsaber, the first clue would be, hmm?”
Suddenly, a green saber ignites, slashing across the sergeant’s face. The hunchback man rights himself and a blue blade appears.
In a clipped Coruscant accent, Obi-Wan states: “Please don’t try to resist. No one has to get hurt.”
The men of Decoy Squad Five attack. None of them survive.
so why does the emperor turn all human to some gross form?
