The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2005 I'm wondering... Before SW I or II came out, was there this much info all over the net about them? Like, I swear, you could find out the entire plot of SW III right now just by looking for it. Was it like that for the other films? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2005 Palpatine vs. Yoda. I think a "Konichiwa, bitches" would be in order for that one. The Anakin/Obi Won fight is supposed to be epic as well. I'm starting to get excited about Episode 3, even though I KNOW I shouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackFlagg 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2005 http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=8705 Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith director George Lucas was interviewed by CBS' 60 Minutes and says the third and final prequel will not likely receive the PG rating the previous five films have received. "I don't think I would take a five- or a six-year-old to this," says Lucas, "It's way too strong." Lucas is referring to violent scenes in the film and also to Anakin Skywalker's journey to the dark side in the climax of the 30-year-old series. "We're going to watch him make a pact with the devil," Lucas tells the program. He says Skywalker will be descending into Lucas' frightening vision of Hell, a mythical planet composed entirely of erupting volcanos. "Yes...the lava at the end...it ends in hell." "[The film] is much more dark...more emotional. It's much more of a tragedy," adds Lucas. "My feeling is that it will probably be a PG-13, so it will be the first Star Wars that's a PG-13." The interview will be broadcast on Sunday, March 13 from 7:00-8:00pm, ET/PT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2005 Is this the last movie? (I'm not a Star Wars fan) Because wasn't the like, first movie (the old one) "Episode VI" or something? (I mean, not the title, but isn't where this one ends where the series begins pretty much? Congratulations on living under a rock. Yea, because everyone is a Star Wars fan. Yeah, I'm sorry, that was a little jerkish of me... **looks at username** Anyways, to answer your question: Episodes 4-6 were released in the late 70s/early 80s and take place twenty-thirty years after the prequel trilogy (Episodes 1-3). Episode 3 is the last Star Wars movie George Lucas plans to make. There were original supposed to be 9 movies altogether, but he decided against it after the focus of the series became the life of Darth Vader. Since Vader dies in Episode 6 ("Return of the Jedi"), there's no need to continue the saga. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well for Episodes I & II, the crowd was pretty good about letting people know how many total in their group there was going to be, and some just had to work later then others, and it was pretty much agreed upon everyone. Then again, the midnight showing was shown on I think five screens at the theater I went to, so there was plenty of seats to go around. This time around me and my friends are going to go to the theater in my little section of town(at least I believe so) so hopefully everything goes as smooth. The theater here is bigger too. Damn, I can't wait, my best friend is coming up from Houston, I haven't seen him in over a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2005 How awesome has Palpatine been in the prequels? So far, he's been keeping it on the down-low, pulling *all* the strings in the background to orchestrate his rise to power, and then he finally, finally goes balls-to-the-wall bad ass in Episode 3. "Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?" Dude should have "Bad Motherfucker" engraved on his lightsaber hilt. I thought Yoda busting out the lightsbaer skills was a mark-out moment in Ep. 2, but, man, I can't wait to see Palpatine do the same in Ep. 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, thats generally when I make the first scene. I usually go with the "Hey motherless fucks, what do you think you're doing?" I then continue on about wars and the history of human relationships. I reccomend a sociology class for them, and usually quiet back down. The approach usually doesn't do anything, but you know, what else can you do when someone steps to your shit?

starvenger 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 Episode 1 > Episode 2. Seriously. Take out the Jar Jar shit and I agree with you. However, take all the "romance" (that is, what Lucas THOUGHT was romantic dialogue) shit out and the pendulum swings back to ep 2. How awesome has Palpatine been in the prequels? So far, he's been keeping it on the down-low, pulling *all* the strings in the background to orchestrate his rise to power, and then he finally, finally goes balls-to-the-wall bad ass in Episode 3. I think that this is something that Lucas has done really well. In a way, the series as a whole has been all about Palpatine's rise to (prequels) and his fall from (original trilogy) power.

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2005 Official: http://movies.channel.aol.com/feature/starwars/trailer.adp Episode 1 > Episode 2. Seriously. Take out the Jar Jar shit and I agree with you. However, take all the "romance" (that is, what Lucas THOUGHT was romantic dialogue) shit out and the pendulum swings back to ep 2. Jar Jar was about 5% of Ep. 1, whereas the craptastic romance was 50% of Ep. 2. The flaws with Ep. 1 were the slow pacing leading up to the pod race and bad performances from Jake Loyd and Jar Jar. On the good side, it had the pod race, Liam Neeson's performance, Darth Maul, and the kick-ass droid battle at the beginning. Ep. 2 was a total trainwreck from start to finish (bad acting all around except for Christopher Lee...poorly executed battle scenes...extremely slow pacing for the entire first hour...horribly written romance...every set, even the ones which were suppsoed to be outdoors, being obviously CGI), with the only watchable part being the short battle between Yoda and Dooku (which was extremely cheesy, admit it).

starvenger 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2005 Good points, but I still think that ep 2 > ep 1, because the "romance" (can you call it that when one channels Christopher Walken (in Pulp Fiction) in order to act romantic?) is the main focus of Act 2 (or was it 3?) and thus easily skipped over, while Jar Jar is kinda just there throughout the movie, so his 5% feels more like 95%. In short, that they have different types of suck, and I think that having the suck all in on area is better than spreading it around. Just my opinion though. You like ep 1 better, all power to ya.
