I just saw the preview today. Will it crap up like episodes I & II? Or will it totally pwn like V? I mean really, anything can look good on the previews, but how good do you think it'll be?

MOD EDIT: HQ version of the new ROTS trailer can be found here (http://www.filerush.com/download.php?target=that_video.avi). Many thanks to Shishou for the link.

As far as Starwars goes most likely it will be better than the last. I just hope that Yoda kicks butt in this one like in the last.

It's gunna pwn the shiznit out of I & II!!!! Go to movieinc.nl and register, then go to downloads and download the trailer for any of you who haven't yet! It's awesome!!!But I heard Mace Windu dies within the first 10 minutes :eek:

You don't have to download it, on starwars.com the front page is a link to the trailer on AOL. And the preview did own. And Yoda was awesome. After constantly sitting around for IV, V, VI, and I, he actually started litterally flippin' out on II.

It Will Pwn Every Movie Ever....apart From The Original Trilogy

I only heard the sound from the trailer, but didn't see the trailer. Stupid player. Anyway, I hope it will pwn like Ep. 5 :D This movie ought to be interesting.

Ceris

Although it's possible they'll screw it up. In the middle of the Obi-Wan/Anakin fight, Jar Jar will come out of nowhere, scream "YOUSSA BAD ANNIE!" and Anakin will throw himself to a fiery demise to escape the pain. Though it's obviously not really demise.

lol

ep II wasnt bad...was actually pretty good i find^^

anyways ep 1 seemed bad well cuz...it had nothing to do with the eps before...and thats cuz ppl sortof forget to realise that its a PRELUDE...meaning of course vader or that doesnt exist yet...and maul was badass :D

Capt. Rosuko

11-11-2004, 09:40 PM

ep 2 was good i thought. still not the greatest as far as acting went. I'll watch the third definitely. I wouldn't miss it. Hopefully Lucas will get this one on the same level as the original trilogy and not the technology showcase that he tried making the last ones.

Where is General Grievious? He was supposed to be a major villian but no air time on the trailer? and is that white insane hooded guy palpatine flingin his lightsaber like it was a sparkler on the fourth of July? lol.

11-11-2004, 10:02 PM

Don't hold you breath over this. As long as George Lucas is directing, pretty much everything could still go wrong.

(And General Grievous makes a better cartoon villain)

Ceris

11-11-2004, 10:07 PM

Hm. To be fair, the only problems I had with Ep. I was the fact that Qui-Gon dies (it WAS meant to happen) and Jar Jar, and Ep. II had Hayden Christensen or whatever. I just...don't like his acting...

kevin77

11-11-2004, 11:25 PM

i didn't find ep 2 that bad. ep 1 was so much worse. I think ep 3 is gonna own. I mean they made us wait for so long. Anyways, even if it is bad, Natalie Portman will still save the day. I just love her!

shadowLiger

11-11-2004, 11:41 PM

lol well i just hope your right kevin77 but still fro what i can tell from the trailer it looks pretty promessing lets just hope i'm correct.

Vader > Maul. Vader > Dooku.
Reason enough?
and for pete's sake, Jar Jar had better die in this one. I don't care how, they just need do it.

"Mesa spontaneously combust!"
*BOOM* *Gungan guts splatter SFX*

lmao, i kinda like that idea :D

Im looking forward to episode 3. I found some of the acting in episode 2 pretty poor but apart from that i got to see R2D2 flying so Im happy.

Capt. Rosuko

11-12-2004, 12:40 PM

Unfortunately i think i heard he doesn't die, but has an even smaller role. still not enough. A guy i work with acutally likes Jar Jar. @.@

Hayden was a crappy actor in the last one. I just could believe his performance. They say he makes a great vader. maybe he will i guess. He's got a very unemotional style of acting so hopefully he can get the evil part down. but my hope wouldn't fill an ants belly.

Is it me or did that first mysterious alien in the red suit resemble Ray Park smiling as darth maul? He's not back is he? It would be cool tho if he was.

This Episode Is where The Pieces Connects with Each Other.
The Episode where Anakin Skywalker Join The Dark Side
And Becomes Dark Vader!!
(Yeaah =P )

*spoiler!!!!*

yeah, Palpatine is probably Darth Sidious. I went to starwars.com and read the bio on palpatine. though they didnt say he was sidious, they said that Darth Vader threw him into an energy core to protect Luke.

mace windu's gonna die!??? *sob* i just read the novel Shatterpoint featuring Mace Windu...but anyways im thinking it'll be Boba fett who kills him.

Shikamaru

11-12-2004, 03:11 PM

The preview was absolutely fantastic. It looks a lot like the original trilogy, whereas Episode I and II didn't. I was too kiddy and II just didn't measure up to the franchise's high standards.

III looks to be breaking the trend started by I and II though.

episode 3 better be awesome. i wouldnt really say that the newer episodes were bad, they just weren't as good as older ones. now that anakin is almost in his prime, theres bound to be some awesome fight scenes. the jedi will be all over anakin so something awesome better happen!

narutofan20052005

Shishou

03-08-2005, 08:16 AM

Ya know... I have a feeling SW:III will be the greatest sci-fi movie of all time.

70% fighting... Pre-suit Vader.... Anakin slaughtering young jedi...

Yep, nothing to complain aboot in this movie. But some will complain aboot the 2 minutes of suited vader. But they juss need to think logically and understand better.

Sayo

03-08-2005, 09:07 AM

well i saw them all when i was young so i can't slip this 1 x]

Shishou

03-08-2005, 09:12 AM

Before, when they first announced the Prequel Trilogy, I had anticipated this movie.

And everything I read aboot it, it juss by all means.... Will be the most badass movie in a loooong time.

This movie will have more lightsaber battles, than all the other star wars COMBINED. And it'll show juss how great Anakin was... It will show why he is The Chosen One...

Vader before the suit is much stronger than Vader in the suit.

Ninja Genius

03-08-2005, 11:04 PM

I sawa website up that displayed tons of spoiler images from the movie. The movie seems too dark IMO. The prequels just aren't in touch of what was so great about the trilogy, mainly the character interaction of the ragtag team. It was like a good rpgame. Now it's just trying to tell a story and is doing it poorly, it sorta seperates the viewer from the characters.

Shishou

03-08-2005, 11:07 PM

Episode 3 IS DARK.

Thats the whole point. It is the bad guys winning. It is all the Jedi being killed off, and the chosen one falling to the dark side.

Trust me, I have read tons of spoilers for this movie, and I have a hunch it will be the best of the 6 star wars films. It will have everything we want.

And I personally liked episode 1... Qui-gon Jinn was cool. Not to mention I love the part where they find out Anakin's midichlorian count. Dual Lightsaber fighting was cool too, you can't deny that. Episode II wasn't that great, but Yoda fighting was sweet.

Brandt

03-08-2005, 11:10 PM

I personally didn't find I and II to bad too bad. They obviously weren't up to the standards or expectations as the previous three films, but they were pretty good. Episode III is gonna rule!

Master Of Bugs

03-09-2005, 12:02 AM

omg... dudes and dudettes.... me and my freinds are going to go buy lightsabers and wait in front on tinsel town all night wendsday night and then were gonna go to the first veiwing of it in our area.....

Shishou

03-10-2005, 08:31 AM

Oh man... Later today during the O.C. (Outrageously Crappy) they are showing the new Episode 3 Trailer O_O!

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IT OUT! From what I hear, from people who have seen a crappy leaked version of it, it is one of the greatest trailers of all time.

Anakin turned into Darth vader.
But i guess we all know that. haha

I was looking for that trailer for a week... Couldn't find it.

So today the good quality official one comes out... I can wait ;P

Capt. Rosuko

03-10-2005, 08:34 PM

Episode III has to be better than I or II, but this will be the last time I throw my money at George Lucas. I liked the orginal trilogy and I hated episodes I and II I can only hope that III will be better.
Don't worry, after this Lucas is giving SW to others to do with as ya please. But yeah, i hope it doesnt suck like the other previous prequels. Someone made a good point about why the new ones suck. There isn't tight-nit group interaction like in the original. Everyone is doin their own thing, barely seeing eachother until something big comes up. Bah, I say BAH.

A new trailer up? cool, but is it Hyperspace exclusive?

edit: nope, its on fox tonight. (yeah, i never watch network TV). its during the O.C. at some point. Probably the only reason to watch it.

Shishou

03-10-2005, 08:42 PM

I don't know if I can suffer watching the O.C. enough to catch the trailer...

For the first time, I will watch TV and hope to god a commercial comes soon.

Ninja Genius

03-10-2005, 10:01 PM

lol I just suffered through the incredibly stupid OC and it was worth it! That trailer was sooo beyond badass! I really think this movie has the potential to be the best now! It was so great and go figure..the trailer was shown when the show ended...should of saw that coming.

Man why didn't I tape it...??? *looks for torrent of it*

Capt. Rosuko

03-10-2005, 11:25 PM

imade a post about the thing, and still missed it. >.< now to wait for it to appear on moviefone. Saw the spanish version. o.O it does seem bad ass.

03-10-2005, 11:33 PM

I saw it it was pretty intresting, its a pretty good summary ofthe movie, from what i saw. can't wait till it comes out, MAY 19th!!!!

03-11-2005, 12:13 AM

made friends suffer thru the OC while i was playing republic commando and call me when the trailer came up.... and let me tell ya it's all worth it :D hope someone here posts the torrent when the HQ file comes on the net hheeh

Danny

03-11-2005, 11:06 AM

i just viewed the whole trailer....

my...

it was the best thing i have ever seen....

MAY 19th WHERE ARE YOU

I love when Obi-wan goes

"YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!"

Looks like he is gonna cry :p

03-11-2005, 09:44 PM

Man.....i cant belive the head of the galatic senate is darth sidious..........who knew? :P

this movie looks pretty sweet, the republic becomes the empire, it all makes sense! Im just looking forward to seeing Aniken get owned when Mace Windu was like, "...we will not grant you the rank of master..." Hilarious

Spectrum

03-11-2005, 10:03 PM

From what I can see in the trailer, it looks like Anakin will be doing most of the owning in this movie. :P Well, except for when Obi-Wan kicks his ass in that last fight, but even there it looks like he'll be dealing out a fair amount of ownage. Incidentally, that fight looks awesome. How the mere presence of lava can make something immeasurably cooler is beyond me, but there's no denying it.

Can't wait for May 19th. I used to be a huge Star Wars fan, but my interest has kind of dwindled over the past three years. Shot right back up again after watching the new trailer, though. I was planning to go into this one spoiler-free, but now I'm really tempted to hop over to TFN's forums and sift through their Episode III Spoilers section to my heart's content. But no... I can hear Obi-Wan now... "Don't give in to spoilers... that leads to the dark side." XD

Danny

03-12-2005, 12:08 AM

ive kept up to date with the spoilers..which makes me want it more than ever :D:D:D:D

*plays for the 200th time*

Bubs

03-12-2005, 01:01 AM

It won't compare to the original trilogy, but I think it will be way better than I and II *crosses fingers*

Lucas can do no wrong, in my mind! Well except for Jar Jar Binks :P

I hope we get to see the kids!!!

Oh yeah, I stumbled upon stills from the entire movie the other day ... I didn't look at all of them, b/c I don't want to be totally spoiled ;)

Shishou

03-12-2005, 01:07 AM

Bah, the OT is overrated.

This one will be the best, no doubt in my mind.

Yoda vs. Sidious
Mace Windu vs. Sidious
General Greivous vs. Whomever (obi-wan?)
Anakin vs. Obiwan

Not to mention this will have more lightsaber action than all the others combined. Also supposed to be very fast and skillful fighting shown. Its gonna blow away any action the OT had.

Yoda is sweet. He is a beloved character, being the Jedi Master who is small, old, and frail. But he is so powerful, and you would never expect it. His fight with Sidious will be grand. Juss from the trailer, showing them fighting in that U.N.-type area, with the floating floors. That will probably be my favorite fight.

And the movie ending with Suited Vader? Come on, he is a legendary villian figure. And at the end of SW3, we can reflect on the OT. No happy ending in SW3, but we know what the happy ending will become.

CrazyMoronX

03-12-2005, 01:39 AM

I don't see how this movie CAN'T be better than the other two. I mean, they were so terrible, that filimg a steaming pile of feces on pavement would be an improvement.

Mith252000

03-12-2005, 07:40 AM

Yeah, I get your point. I think this movie looks okay. Those who want to see the trailer, try dl from here. :P

i just can't wait omg it is going to be so coool. or at least i hope because the first and second one weren't that good. hopefully they make this one really interesting and tell you what happenes to a lot of them.

Laiquelleion

03-12-2005, 02:23 PM

Well, everyone has different tastes in movies as in everything else. I personally liked the two first movies and will probably like this one as well. Everything depands on what you what from it. Many of the old starwars fans dislike the new episodes because of the change in style. Thats their oppinion and I respect them for that. I welcome the change and immerge myself in the new universe :P

Ninja Genius

lol Reminds me of a segment in the Simpsons were the comic book guy said something like "Worst Star Wars movie EVER I only seen five times"

Yeah I'm not going with high hopes with this movie the first two prequels left me with a sour taste in my mouth. After seeing the trailer for SWIII it looks good for FX/CG but the acting.....

Shishou

03-13-2005, 01:17 AM

The acting looks excellent, IMO.

Only things so far that seems a little off, is OB1 saying "We are at War, Anakin."

Otherwise, the acting seems superb.

Spectrum

03-13-2005, 01:31 AM

I dunno, Ian McDiarmid seemed just slightly over-the-top when he was telling Anakin, "The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities, SOME-CONSIDERED-TO-BE-UNNATURAL", etc. It was like "Oh, and in case you hadn't noticed, I'm EVIL, Anakin." :P But... he is, so I guess it's mostly just me being picky.

Other than that, the acting looks fine to me. As long as we don't get any more fireplace scenes between Anakin and Padme, I'm good.

Gutsu

03-13-2005, 04:45 AM

Shishou

03-13-2005, 05:04 AM

Well Anakin looks up to Palpatine. Since Palpatine is like the only one who believes in Anakin, and holds him highly.

So Anakin can't even notice Palpatine is evil. And this is juss showing Palpatine lure Anakin to the Dark Side with thoughts of great power.

Plus the dialog was cut into pieces, so it didn't go with the mood/theme like it will in the movie. Don't worry, the acting should be superb.

Oh ya, and one of the best parts of the trailer, was that green check with huge boobs. She has such a nice rack O_O!

Since you haven't even seen the movie your just making a guess that the movie will have great acting. I rather go expecting decent acting in the movie so that I won't laugh out loud like I did when I watch Star Wars 2 the whole "love" scenes dialouge between Anakin and what's her name was laughablebly bad btw I wasn't the only one who was laughing in the theather.

Oh ya, and one of the best parts of the trailer, was that green check with huge boobs. She has such a nice rack O_O

Hmm I must have missed that part next time I'll make sure to see it. :wink

Actually Spectrum those fights were shown in the first trailer. Well except for one I guess.Better to be safe than sorry. :wink The trailer flashed through a lot of stuff really quick, and fights like Anakin VS Dooku are almost impossible to make out unless you watch the trailer while freezeframing every other second. And I definitely don't recall seeing Anakin AND Obi-Wan VS Dooku anywhere in either trailer, so that at least was a spoiler for me.

Oh ya, and one of the best parts of the trailer, was that green check with huge boobs. She has such a nice rack O_O!Wasn't that Aayla Secura? Looks like she'll have a bigger role in episode III, then; cool. :amuse She's one of those Boba Fett types that appears for two seconds and yet somehow manages to acquire an outrageously huge fandom...

liz

03-13-2005, 03:59 PM

Not much of a Stars Wars fan but I just saw the trailer...

Is it just me or does Anakin Skywalker looks too much like Gaara (without the undereye circles n sand gourd) after the time-skip? :P Now I'm confused between reality n the manga world...

I was always curious on why so many people love Boba Fett...

So I asked my friend. And I guess in the Star Wars novels, Boba Fett is a real badass... Blasted his way out of that worm monster thing and kicks some ass as the greatest bounty hunter or something.

And Anakin is cooler than Gaara. Choking with the force>Choking with sand.

03-14-2005, 06:53 PM

I'm always curious as to why people say the 1st and 2nd movies sucked? I'll give that the acting was stiff, and the dialogue in the love scenes was worse than afternoon soap operas. But the action, lightsaber battles, and even the space battle versus the TF Battleship was pure Star Wars. AotC was a very worthy successor to Empire as being the middle episode of a trilogy. Jar Jar isn't as annoying as 3P0 was at times, but having them both was double the annoyance. I'm just curious as to the reasons. I mean, surely they weren't worse than most summer blockbusters.

Shishou

03-14-2005, 08:55 PM

Jarjar is a million times better than Ewoks.

Before I continue, I warn you all that this is obviously loads of spoilers!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenge of the Sith will own but about the thing of Mace dying early in the movie, not hapenning.He does die tough, and he is killed by Anakin after his fight with Palpatine/Sidious, because YES, Palpatine IS Sidious disguised.About the whole Anakin killing Mace Windu, I AM NOT 100% SURE if it's the truth but so far I've heard he will almost beat Sidious but Anakin comes in, cuts his arm and Mace gets bolted down a window by Sidious...NOOO!

As for Yoda kicking major butt, Yoda does own but as you can somewhat see in the official trailer[If you have not seen it yet, it's on StarWars.com] he gets an hard time against Sidious.He will not win the fight, probably because he is quite old and sadly, Sidious is stronger[suposedly].

And the last fight will truely own, the one between Anakin and Obi-Wan.It's suposed to be about 12 minutes long and it will take place not in one, but in MANY different places on the volcanic planet of Mustafar[What a...funny name XD].It will also show us most of the Jedis tricks like saber throwing and such.It's also suposed to be the best fight scene in the history of cinema[Yeah that's right, it will own Matrix Revolutions's final battle :x]

And hum I didn't reveal the plot of the movie at all, it's not all about Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting, there IS a storyline in the movie because Anakin is still NICE at the beginning and all.

By the way, if anyone likes my animation, please rep me? :l

And in my opinion, I like all Star Wars movies, because they are great[to me!]

NejiHinata

03-14-2005, 11:08 PM

I feel the same way. This movie is going to be so cool. Though I am going to be sad when a few of my favorite characters get killed. And I love all the Star Wars movies as they are one big story to me. One big novel.

Spectrum

03-16-2005, 01:28 AM

Wookies will be out in full force in RotS. I can't wait to see that either. Ewoks were Lucas' fall into the realm of having Jar Jar and fart jokes. But he appears to have gone away from that for RotS. He said on 60 minutes last night that he thinks RotS will get a PG-13 rating and that he won't fight it.::anticipation for RotS shoots up tenfold::

So I asked my friend. And I guess in the Star Wars novels, Boba Fett is a real badass... Blasted his way out of that worm monster thing and kicks some ass as the greatest bounty hunter or something.Yeah, I used to be really into the Star Wars EU; I have all the books through the New Jedi Order, and a few of the comics, so I know about Boba's comeback. :wink He does kick a lot of ass after he gets out of the sarlaac pit, but I still wonder how the heck he ever grew popular enough for the EU writers to decide to resurrect him in the first place. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that Vader felt it necessary to warn him, "No disintegrations" barely two seconds after he was introduced in ESB. :P Everyone loves a good bad guy.

Is it just me or does Anakin Skywalker looks too much like Gaara (without the undereye circles n sand gourd) after the time-skip?It's the mullet. XD

If you watch this movie via torrent and not see it at the theatres at all, you will have earned the title of very very very sad person. It's like 10 million times better at a theatre, huge screen giant surround sound other people! (go interact...) and more!

I do not have the high expectations. My only expectations is that it has some good dialogue nothing cheesy. George Lucas has mentioned this is the darkest film he has ever worked on so yeah I will probably will hold him to that. I do expect the usual good visuals and awesome sound. But thats about it. I hope this could make me happy about being a star wars fan once again.

The Darkest thing George Lucas can thinks of is the back side of the sun and fluffy bunnies >_>

Anyway, it looks pretty good, much better thant he first 2, granted I liked the first 2 but I don't think they hold a candle to 4,5, and 6.

This is his final movie... The only Star Wars to ever be PG-13... This is the dark episode, the fall of the Jedi. The fall of the chosen one. The rise of the Empire. The victory of the Dark side.

This movie will be very dark.

-Anakin butchering young jedi Padawans in the temple.
-Anakin force choking Padme.
-Anakin betraying the jedi, by killing Mace Windu.
-Anakin fighting his master in rage, for the longest, and greatest Lightsaber duel of all time.
-Anakin beheading Count Dooku.
-General Greivous killing jedi, and taking their lightsabers as trophies.
-Sidious slaughtering great Jedis.
-Sidious fighting Yoda, Master of masters.
-War. This movie is the ending of the war, the slaughtering of the Jedi, the betrayal of the Clone troops, all good being killed out.

This movie has to be dark, there is no way for it not to be dark. This will be darker than all the movies combined.

Powerman

03-25-2005, 02:38 AM

Ah you have a valid point and it's true this will be the darkest movie. I rather like the fact that he hasn't added pointless murder and blood to attract a different type of audience. So it's not a bad thing that he has done the things the way he did.

In the trailer, they showed (spoiler)

Yoda fighting in the Republic chamber

Anakin goin evil

and a bunch of other cool stuff

and early versions of X-wings and I think I saw tie fighters

I definitely got good feelings for this movie

The movie seems it’s going to be good as long as they don’t try to put obnoxious character in like in Episode one ( ja jar binks he was only funny at first) and no love traumatic stuff like the second. I hope they actually tried to make a serious movie that actually causes amazement.

Hey someone can tell me if this robot will fight in episode 3, I saw star wars animation and that robot fought against a lot of jedis and it was so cool cause he can use more than 3 light sables, using is feet and hand’s, he is cool.

Other think, this movie will have 2 hours like all the other’s star wars or 3 like the lord of the ring’s? cause this movie will have a lot of stuff to show so I don’t know if they can put everything in a 2 hours movie.

Hun almost invincible, hun don’t know if that is a fact, I think master yoda must be stronger, and windu too. Yes your right he seems invincible, but yoda is yoda.

who will defeat him? Maybe Anakin, I don’t know, I only want to see him fight against lot’s of jedis.

It seems like I am the only one EVER to like both of the previous movies in Starwars. I almost laughed my head of because of jar jar binks and has enjoyed the action both in the first and second episode. "Go yoda, you can do it..." After seing the prewiev of episode 3 I have even greater expectations for that one.:smile-big

You're not the only one. I love them too. Jar Jar, you have to look at him as you would the Ewoks. And at least he won't get his own spin-off movies. And I'm willing to forgive acting because, as Lucas said: The Star Wars movies are more like silent movies. Take away the dialogue and just have the music and they're just as poignant.

I think it'll be awesome. I liked both 1 and 2, though 1 was better than 2. IMO, Hayden Christensen was pretty much the only reason the 2nd one was worse. His acting sucked most of the time. Hopefully he won't screw up 3 as well.

05-05-2005, 12:17 PM

I think this will be on par with the first 3 starwars (eps 4-6). and will be better than 2 and definitely better than 1.

TheVileOne

05-15-2005, 03:43 AM

There was a lot of fighting and action in the other eps. as well.

However, the violence and action depicted in this one will be a bit more brutal and graphic than the last ones. I think it might keep parents and kids away and hurt the overall BO gross. I've heard that Lucas was really pissed that his movie got trumped by both Spider-man and The Two Towers in 2002, since normally Star Wars is the #1 movie in whatever year it is released.

its not gonna happen until lucas is out of the picture. he has already stated HUNDREDS of times that he has made every single movie the way he wants them to be. i do think its a little strange how the technology seemed to go backwards in the old trilogy compared to what we are seeing in the prequels. as far as the colors thats the way they were intended to look.

05-16-2005, 08:29 AM

according to an article on kevin smith (already seen it) he ranks it as one of the best of all six. he also said what everyone else keeps saying--- it had the empire strikes back mood throughout the entire movie.
now with empire being my favorite as it is im guessing this is about to become my second or maybe even new favorite star wars. ---ive been waiting so long to see the fight between obi-wan and anakin. and ive wanted to see yoda and the emperor fight too even though ive already read the book so i know who wins in both the fights. :narsengan

DrunkenYoshimaster

05-16-2005, 12:20 PM

Yeah majority of reviews I read say its comparable to ESB making it at least #2 on the SW list (and Empire Strikes back is like almost impossible to beat anyway. It introduced Yoda, showed Vader was lukes father, had the awesome looking cloud city run by Lando, cool Boba Fett action, and of course the original cast with Han, Leia, and Luke. all of whom won't be in this (though alot of the other major players will), was awesome )

Also Ive heard a few here say firmly that Ep I was better than II. I sorta wanna know why. Ep I had huge expectations and dissapointed in alot of areas so perhaps the rest of it viewed it unfairly and were releived when Ep II missed 1's biggest mistakes.

I had a few strong points. Qui Gon kicked ass. The fight between him & Anakin vs Darth Maul was like the best one in the series thus far. And Padme was a great and very beautiful actress.

But the weaknesses are what killed it to most. #1 on most peoples list is the rather annoying Jar Jar Binks antics and his large amount of screen time (I thought his suit actor from the dvd seemed pretty funny with his movements, especially to see him sitting at the table like that, but once they added the cgi and the voice it just got old quick and sucked overall). Next what bugged most SW fans was the Midichlorine part saying the force isnt something that can be manipulated by all who train, but only if you have some biological gift. Didnt bother me so much since it seemed like ESB and RoTJ already hinted at strength with the force being more easily obtained due to genetics what with Leia being the other hope simply because she is related to Luke and Vader. But I guess to have the beans spilled in such a way pissed off many.

And Im sorry to those that enjoyed it, but the part that bothered me the most was the whole Anakin in the ships autopilot at such a crucial time. It seemed dumb, totally geared towards little kids and hard to take serious moreso than anything else in the series including the Ewoks which were somewhat enjoyable to everyone (though theyre solo movie reeked) and Jar Jar who's hated by most.
Its kind of a shame the 2nd biggest highlight of the film and what the most money was poured into was something as light hearted as Anakin in a pod race. While I think Podracing is a cool concept and was good eye candy, it also had the feel that it was mostly geared towards kids, but alot better executed than the Anakin funning around in the first space ship he ever flew (I mean was that really Obi Wan's idea of Luke's father being a great pilot when he met him?).

To me Ep II seemed alot better by comparison what with Jar Jar almost removed from the scenes (though not quite :/), the whole Jango Fett deal and his cool battle with Obi Won Kenobi. The clone army and the whole story behind their manufacturing, then the coolest battle at the end between Obi Won and Anakin vs Dooku, changing to Yoda vs Dooku. The only major flaw of ep II to me was the poorly constructed romance scenes between Padme and Anakin. While Padme was great, Anakin played by Hayden Christen, who seems to have gotten alot better at acting in the past 3 years, couldnt play Romeo to save his life at the time.

Anyway Ep I seemed to me a decent movie with a ton of flaws but a few redeeming qualities, namely Qui Gon, Padme, and the super cool Saber battle at the end to Duel of the Fates.
Ep II seemed to be a good movie with alot of cool scenes, but some horribly cheesy romance lines.
Id have to say Ep II was the better of the two, though neither of them lived up to the bar set by the original trilogy, though I feel Ep II is at least worthy to have the name Star Wars, (Ep I too just barely I guess thanks to the end battle).

Oh and finally saw the Clone Wars Miniseries, and it definately has me even more revved up to see Ep III. These 25 short cartoons put together are better than either of the previous prequels, and definately worthy succesors to the original trilogy. If Ep III continues this trend, we're in for a real treat.

I played the starwars episode III: Revenge of the sith videogame for PS2 and it looks awesome.
I wanna see the battle between Mace windu and Anakin skywalker.
It's funny when Mace windu is thrown out the window after loosing the lightsaber duel (sorry for the information I kinda got alittle carried away)
anyways...back on topic.

episode II: attack of the clones is really cool.
episode I: The Phantom Menace wasn't as good as episode II: attack of the clones but it's still a pretty good starwars film.
I really like episode IV,V, and VI they were awesome classic starwars films.

DrunkenYoshimaster

05-16-2005, 10:58 PM

^lol wow thats a pretty big spoiler. Dont suppose its videogame only. But kinda cool to know that they fight and he doesnt lose to one of the other baddies.

anyway I just rewatched Ep I and found it to be alot better than I remembered, with alot more breathtaking shots. But listening to the commentary and making of it seemed to me Lucas was way to focused on perfecting the spfx of it all. The original trilogy wasnt really about that (though maybe the special editions were), it had characters that interacted so well with eachother, which made the quality of the series what it is. Even though the prequels have some great actors (also some poor ones) not all of them or even most of them have the type of chemistry Luke, Han, Leia etc. did with eachother.
well anyway just a couple days left and its ep III time!

05-17-2005, 09:34 AM

^^^good stuff!! mine starts at 12:01 hahaha!!! i always liked episode I even though most people spat at it. i liked the fact that we finally got to see everything before the empire took over. especially the jedi in mass numbers, it was great to finally see with your eyes how they trained, how they operated, lived, what their FULL powers were--- come on do you think Luke would stand a chance against Mace Windu in a fight??(remember even though he was a Jedi he was a half-trained that beat the emperor with a crippled old man). think there were four big problems with star wars: 1. The hype killed it 2. People compared it to the OT which they should've never done. 3. Jar Jar had wayyyy too much screen time. and 4. The part on Tatooine was too long-- it was almost like it was put in for intermission. there could've been a lot of that scene cut out and still gotten all the information we learned from it.

DrunkenYoshimaster

05-17-2005, 10:57 AM

^ yeah I agree. Listening to the commentary made it seem like Lucas main interest was in doing the spfx for animated characters, and like he thought Jar Jar Binks was the greatest thing that ever happened tot the star wars universe. So when he got to Tatooine, to go back and do like 1million cgi characters and make them all seem lifelike and make it seem like a realistic place was his biggest joy. He even said he designed the pod race to be like his favorite formula 1 racers for kids. But I thought the podrace was enjoyable for most because it was beleivable and well executed, completely unlike the space ship scene with anakin later in the movie, when he puts it on manual.
"Let's try spinning, thats a good trick!" and he suddenly gets dumb luck and manages to dodge all this enemy fire. There's nothing instinctive (following the force) about that, it made it seem like he had no idea what he was doing and was another kid messing around in a videogame like cockpit, doing stuff he'd only heard of cuz it sounded fun, and getting extremely lucky. The type of amusing scene that would be mainly enjoyable to people younger than Jake.
But yeah other than changing that alot, I would have severely limited Jar Jars screen time and either had him stay with the Gungans permenantly, once he was named general, died in battle a martyr, or the first person killed by Darth Maul in front of Anakin to fuel his anger, and maybe have that be the cause of him going ballistic in the ship, since he would have seen it from the cockpit. Tatooine should have been shortened, with more screen time devoted to the Jedi training on Coruscant, and maybe even show Qui Gon putting Anakin through a similar self exploratory trial similar to the one Yoda put Luke through on Degobah, just like he did in the Clone Wars miniseries.

thats true he could've turned down the power on his lightsaber and put him threw the same old "lightsaber remote" training that obi wan did to luke in episode 4. thats why i keep saying i love the prequels because you can finally SEE how the jedi lived ,trained, went about business, picked up chicks--- you know anakin did the mind trick on those girls in the bar in episode II!!!! :smile-big. now from what i under stand there are gonna be some books coming out that will explain how things hit the fan during the time in between III and IV. which i hope they plan on getting some good talent to write these books to keep people hooked.
----Read Labyrinth of Evil!!!!! its awesome.

There is still more episodes, kinda tells you how much of a fan you are, lol.

I don't think George Lucas is going to do episodes 7,8,9. But, If someone else does them, they probaly won't be as good without Georg Lucas behind it. Plus they would not be able to get the original actoes since they are now old.

Heh actually i think me and most people anticipated ep II less than ep I, mainly because we were expecting a film on the caliber of the original trilogy, and were sort of dissapointed to find it mainly a spfx feast complete with an overused and slightly irritating cgi character, scenes geared towards a more childish audience (though I suppose the same could be said about the Ewok scenes in RoTJ), but on the bright side an awesome villain in Maul, cool theme and final lightsaber battle, an excellently played Padme and Qui Gon (thought Obi Won was good too) plus some Jedi on coruscant we would like to get to know more about like a cool seeming Yoda and Windu.
But for ep II the expectations were lowered to many because of their dissapointment in the first one, then you had the lame name, attack of the clones, we all thought Lucas had lost it.
But then you get more of the desired Jedi action, getting to see alot of them and alot more of coruscant the last one left you itching for, a very cool Jango Fett and his battle with Obi Won (never before had a human given a Jedi such an intense battle on the big screen, and alot of people already like Boba), a darker plotline that doesnt spend too much time in the same location, and a final battle that was almost as cool as the last one after trowing in Yoda and all. Anakin's actor had alot of trouble with some of the more emotional scenes, and came off as cheesy when talking to padme, rather than convincing, and there was no planet to match the beauty of naboo, but other than that it just seemed alot more solid overall than ep I, and surpassed alot of expectations that i would be the same. I think Ep I may have had more standout moments though despite having more holes.
ah well my last rant on the two of them till I see ep III at least.

George Lucas is a crappy scenarist, he told it himself. No wonder that the dialogues sound so dull and that there is no humour in the new trilogy. But the main flaws are described on this page (not from me):
http://www.wildyams.com/blog/archives/000182.html
What's Wrong With Star Wars

If you're a Star Wars fan, or don't want to be exposed to negative sentiments about these new Star Wars Episodes, you probably should skip this. Now I know what you may be saying, you may be wondering why I'm suddenly so down on these movies when I have previously been so positively in favor of them. So allow me to explain:

When Episode 1 came out, I saw it 3 times in the first 2 days, then I saw it one other time a couple days later, and didn't see it again till it came out on DVD, and then just watched it once. But by the time it came out on DVD my feelings about it were clear: I loved the look of it, I loved the lightsaber battles, and thought it was just setting the stage for the real story which would unfold in the next two. But really my opinion was formed during the mega-hype phase of its initial release, and being the stubborn guy that I am I stuck to my guns about how I felt about it. Besides, all I really heard against it was that people hated Jar Jar Binks, and I felt that I just overlooked him somewhat and wasn't really that bothered by him in the first place. When Episode 2 came out I once again saw it twice within its first week in theaters, and I was very caught up in the progression of the story, and the huge battle scene at the end. I was so caught up I even thought it might be the best Star Wars movie yet. You know what, I still enjoy both Episode 1 and Episode 2. I think they are entertaining movies, with an interesting story and some great scenes in them. My problem is not with any one character, or with the acting or whatever. The problem I have with these movies goes a lot deeper:

I think that Lucas picked the wrong part of the backstory to show in this trilogy.

Look at the original trilogy: how much time would you say passes between the beginning of Episode 4 and the end of Episode 6? 5 years? 10 years, maybe? But really that's about it. It starts with Luke at the real beginning of his journey off to become a Jedi and ends when he reaches that goal. There is no significant aging done by anyone in the cast. It could be that the original trilogy only spanned maybe a year or two.

Now look at this trilogy: already just from the start of Episode 1 to the end of Episode 2 more time has passed than in all of the original trilogy. And Lucas supposedly will jump forward ANOTHER 10 years or so between Episode 2 and 3. What is the point of all that? Did we really need to see Anakin as a child? Did we need to see Obi Wan as a paduan apprentice? Wouldn't it have been more interesting to have started Episode 1 with Anakin much older than he was?

For me, there are really two problems with this new trilogy:

ONE - Who is the main character of this trilogy? Is it Anakin or Obi Wan? Sure in the orignial trilogy Han Solo was a major character, but that trilogy was about Luke, and Luke's journey from farm boy to Jedi, it was not about Han's journey from smuggler to freedom fighter. Or its not about Han and Leia's romance. Those are elements of the trilogy, but at the center of it is Luke and his journey. It is about the character arc of Luke Skywalker. But what is this trilogy about? Is it about Obi Wan's journey from apprentice to master to betrayal and exile or something? Or is it about Anakin's journey from slave to apprentice, to chosen one to traitor? Its not clear cut who is the main character.

TWO - I somewhat stated this above, but what is the journey that the main character is on. What is the goal of Obi Wan or Anakin? Where are they trying to get to? We know where they end up: Anakin as Vader and Obi Wan in isolation on Tatooine, but where are they trying to get to?

In my opinion, this trilogy should have been about Anakin, and it should have been about Anakin's journey from good to bad. its that simple. And its so simple that I think its what everyone expected before Episode 1 came out. The trilogy should have began with Anakin either nearing the end of his Jedi training or with him just beginning his tenure as a Jedi Knight. From there it should have been about how talented he was as a Jedi, and how the Emperor noticed his obvious talents and manipulated him into joining the Dark Side. And that really should have been it. Obi Wan should have been his friend who turned into his enemy by the end. Anakin should have turned into Darth Vader because of something Obi Wan did to him (i.e. a major lightsaber battle which ended with Obi Wan almost killing Anakin), and at the same time Padme would have given birth to Luke and Leia. Then Episode 3 could have maybe been about Vader trying to find Padme and his son (cause he didn't know about Leia), and had Obi Wan and Padme trying to hide them. All with the rise of the Empire and the Clone Wars (which should have gone on for more than what appeared to be one afternoon) as the backdrop, and with the Emperor using his forces to take control of the Senate and eventually the galaxy. Lucas could have even looked at the way Hitler took control of the Reichstag back in the early 1930s as an example, since he drew clear comparisons between the Empire and the Nazis in the original trilogy.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on how Star Wars could have been better. What do you think?
But of course I'm gonna watch it tonight as this episode at least seems to have good action and drama.

i just got home. man, that was one amazing movie. that artical on what is wrong with star wars is comepletely out of touch. after seeing episode 3 it shows that the new trilogy is completely about anikan turning to the darks side. a lot of people (including myself) found the special effects and soundtrack to be outstanding. but i so want to push that this movie was far more intense than vitualy any movie i have ever seen before. even though we already know from episode 4 what is going to happen you'll still be on the edge of your seat in awe at the sheer magnitude of the story. there were only two points in the movie that seemed corny and for those who havent seen the movie i wont spoil it for you but the other 2:27 out of the full 2:30 were absolutely great. i cant wait to see this again.

Spoilers beyond this point
And this movie was ok i mean it looked to piced otgether. Like they shortened and pussye up all the fights so they can extend anakins and obi-wans. I mean general grevious who can hold 5 lightsabers at one time. Losing so easily. was retarted. If you watch the clone wars mini series hes so much more bad ass in that. Yes dialog was horrible. Ur breaking my hear. I love you LIESSSSSS. it was soo retarted. Anyway yoda got his ass kiked. Palpatine risked his own life so that he can turn anakin to the darkside. I mean he faked being all like dying. jsut so he woudl you knwo with you know

Devilguy

05-19-2005, 01:43 PM

How can this guy (or anyone for that matter) comment on a "trilogy" without ever even knowing about the final movie?
Everything will come together with Ep III. Because a trilogy is made of 3 episodes, not one.
I watched episode 3 yesterday and found it infinitely better than episode 1 and 2 because of the awsome action. The Yoda vs Palpatine force duel, which was directed by Spielberg, was a great piece of action. I never got bored while watching this movie. It's therefore a good movie IMO. Good but far from perfect and far from being on par with the original trilogy. Why?
Cheesy dialogues and total lack of emotion. Portman and Mc Greggor were not convincing at all despite being generally good actors (Honestly, the best "actor" in this movie is Yoda, a damn CG character!!!). I don't blame them because their lines were extremely dull and incoherent.The main event of the movie is Anakin's trip to the dark side. Unfortunately, there was no sad music or any attempt at making us shed a little tear for his victims, although many of them were little children.
What I wanted to see most was Padme's and Obiwan's reaction when they would get to know the truth about Anakin. A huge drama potential...wasted! According to the first two episodes, Padme and Obiwan seemed to be strong willed characters very attached to justice and to do what's right. Obiwan, who was very strict with his apprentice in episode 2, is the one who constantly flatters and defends him. As for Padme, the former queen Amidala who resigned because she cared so much about democracy, what does she do when Palpatine proclaims the foundation of the Empire? Nothing. If the characters had been coherent, neither Padme nor Obiwan would have tolerated Anakin's relationship with Palpatine, therefore opposing him. At least Anakin would have had a reason for feeling betrayed by them.
So what did the scenes that had the most potential become:
When Obiwan watches the jedi slaughter, he still wants to convince Anakin to return to the light side of the Force.
When Padme asks him if he really committed all these crimes and she finally (yes, she's slow) understands he indeed did it, she tells him they can still flee together. How can a future mother forgive a man who has slaughtered children?
Hayden Christensen's acting was slightly better than in episode 2 but his character is pretty one dimensional as well. Even after slaughtering all these people, he keeps pretending it's for the greater good. It's OK at the beginning but after a while it gets boring. It would have been that much more interesting if he had simply admitted at the very end that he was wrong but that he couldn't return to his back self because it's to hard to renounce the dark side once you've tasted its power.

I saw it a few days ago as a cuz I work for the cinemas, as usual everyone acted like dead people, special effects orgy.

seriously 20 year from now when theres better CG is anyone going to watch these movies? they certainly don't have anything else going for them.

The first 20 minutes are so awesome and just have such a "Star Wars" feel that I really thought Lucas had finally not fucked up, but then it reverted back into the same hidious dialogue slow scene crap.

First 20 minutes: epic

Rest of the movie: Total downpoint.

It's like how after you watch episode 48 it raises the bar so much, the rest of the Naruto series seems crappy after that. get what I mean?

05-19-2005, 03:06 PM

devil guy your preaty wrong in what u say heres why
She didnt want to run away with him once she found out she detested him, he even said coem with me padme im stronger then the emperor we can rule the galaxy and she was all like no. Of course shes not slow she jsut didnt want to belvie her husband was capable of such things. she didnt want to think that her beloved could commit crimes like those. jsut a case of denial

All the movies directed by lucas were worse then the ones that wornt. parts 1-4 are like the shit bags. 5 is the best and 6 well ok fine 6 is beating 3 by a little. Just for these reasons.

1) general grevious was sooo toned down.
2) fights were cramed together. Better to have gotten rid of episode one. made episode 2 and made episode 3 more of a two movie thing so that we could see the action that was needed.

Yes episode 3 could have been split up EASILY and would have made for a better movie experiance. I mean imagine the first part which woudl be episode 2. You still have ani not knowing if he shudl go to the dark side. you have a much longer battle with general grevious i mean his trick is. turnign his saber of and dorping it catchin it with his foot and slicing ppl. THATS FREAKIN BAD ASS. then to end the movie you have sum kind of cliff hanger liek mace windu saying IM GOING TO KILL THE EMPERPR. ANI CHOSE CHOOSE and it fades out. THere u go the end of episode 2. Adn episode 3 shoulda been have him chose the dark then instead of all those jedis you know have anikin kill everyoen then as darthvader fly to planets and hunt down every day he can. and there woudl eb no need to kill jar jar cuz episode oen never happened. And that be a much better movie. get rid of 1 make 2 1 with sum edits then make 3 into 2 and 3

vlad43210

05-19-2005, 05:33 PM

Just got back from seeing the movie... i dunno what the critics have to say, but it was awesome IMO, and easily on the level of the original trilogy. Everything just felt SO right - the right amount of fights, of drama, of love story, etc. Perhaps the ending was the only part that seemed to drag on a tiny bit, but I can forgive lucas that b/c it's his last SW movie.

The fights were cool... I understand general grievous was maybe a little weaker than ppl had anticipated, but really anyone who's NOT a jedi is just infinitely slower than jedi, so four lightsabers don't make that huge of a difference. Notice how Grievous' sabers were spinning mad-fast and Obi Wan STILL found an opening? Jedi are just daaamn fast.

To those who say the lines were not convincing... again, I have to respectfully disagree. I'm a pretty stoic person when it comes to movies at least, and I was genuinely touched by some of the dialogue - sure it still sounded stilted at times, but it did not sound fake in the least bit. And even if you plain hate the dialogue, there's the scene where padme and anakin are both looking out to coruscant, but from different places, which stood out for me as one of the best delivered sequences of "talking without words" in recent movie history. Finally, the scene with the children - man that actually almost made me shed a tear. It was just... deeply, deeply sad.

Last but not least, the figure of Palpatine completely carried this movie for me. They could have left out all the special effects sequences, fights, etc but left that plot element in somehow - and I would have still liked the movie (though clearly not as much). His scheme is carried out so perfectly... man, it makes one wonder how he ever missed Darth Vader betraying him in Ep VI. And the guy who plays him is a wonderful actor.

Well, that's all I have to say... *goes off to dream about Ep III*:)

i assume you mean the one on his face and not the one darth vader has on the top of his head.

no, that scar was from the micro series that aired on cartoon network. im not sure where it aired in europe though but it is out on dvd so if you really want to know you can always find out there. i didnt get to see the entire micro series so i dont know where the scar comes from. however if you did mean the one on top of darth vaders head then yes they do. they explain how darth vader becomes more machine than man and how his face get so messed up. there are some really great action sequences in this movie.

actually we never see how he gets the scar in the Clone Wars microseries just that he gets it and Padme notices. Its definately not in the battle with the female training to be a sith either since that was over back in ep 20. He doesnt get the scar until after hes grown his hair out in ep 22. Like theres several scenes where he has long hair and definately doesnt have it either. about 2 and a half minutes into the ep after it shows many of his succesful battles in the war as a jedi knight (none of the ones they show involve him having or gaining a scar) he comes back to Padme and she notices he has it and seems to comfort him. So we can only assume he got it in an unseen battle.

Damn too bad it sounds like Greivous was a bit of a let down in the movie, since he was such a powerhouse in the mini series which lucas accepted as cannon (finally dled and watched all of it).
But still sounds like an excellent movie, havent read any bad reviews for it so Im surprised someone said the critics were being harsh.

You ever hear the tragedy of Darth Sidious? Of course not, it's not a tale the Jedi would relate to you. He was a wise, cunning, and powerful Sith Lord. The most powerful of his time. He was successful in destroying the Jedi and reigning over the Galaxy as the Emperor of the first Galactic Empire. But, as all people who gain power, he became corrupted by it. He became to cocky and arrogant in his power that he failed to notice that the son of Darth Vader had discovered his father's last bit of light in his heart. And he was killed by his apprentice aboard his most extravagant creation. A man so powerful he could deminish the Jedi's ability to use the force, yet unable to notice the good still alive in his own apprentice.

Damn too bad it sounds like Greivous was a bit of a let down in the movie

Just to speak up in defense of the fight proper, it still lasted a good long bit and involved a cool race with Obi Wan riding a ______ (dinosaur? I have NO idea what that thing was, and it made really strange sounds, but was cool).

And he was killed by his apprentice aboard his most extravagant creation.

Or, if you believe in the wacky expanded universe comic book stuff, he was actually killed some time later by the combination of an unborn child and Han Solo... and I think some other characters were involved too=). Nice post, btw!

I was thinking: "WTF, is this the Exorcist?".
Hehe, yeah they could've done a better job with the make-up. One thing I'm not sure about btw:

It was cool that he transformed while doing force lightning... I still don't know btw, was that on purpose or was that really the force lightning draining energy out of him?

It is quite simply an image stapled to Leia's mind through the force. Members of the same gender and family have a stronger connection through the force to eachothe due to similarities. Padme's death and the emotions from that moment probably made a force stamp in baby Leia's mind. Remember, in Jedi she still has to search her mind to locate the "memories".

It was cool that he transformed while doing force lightning... I still don't know btw, was that on purpose or was that really the force lightning draining energy out of him? I think that it was his true appearance (the sith lords are all ugly, that's the reflect of their soul). He revealed it willingly for dramatic purposes. It is obvious he was faking being beaten.

Hehe, I've seen it many many times, but it's still funny as ever! "We got DEATH STAR! DEATH STAR! DEATH STAR! DEATH STAR!"... ahh the storm troopers. They should make a VH1 documentary about one of them. No, I'm serious, it would draw serious money:

"Yeah, I totally remember doing some weed with my buddies during that detention block shift, and all of a sudden - bam! zoom! these two badass guys come out of nowhere and start fighting with these... umm, light sticks, I guess. I LOVE BEING HIGH!" (spasmic cough follows)

Okay, that's enough out of me. Bed time!

I was expecting this one. That just sounds like a lame excuse. :wink

It may sound lame, but it is a perfectly good explanation for the line and works with the Mythos of Star Wars.

I enjoyed III a lot, despite the robot like acting.

Anyway feels complete now. I do like the older ones though but that is mostly what everyone feels anyway.

Well, I saw it this morning at 12:01 AM (yes, that's considered the morning). It was an unforgettable experience. I'll post my review a little later on.

Good to know so many enjoyed it. Ive only seen one bad review so far in the papers (and every film has one of those, but this guy seemed really critical).

But please can anyone tell me how much time elapses between ep II and III???
The Clone Wars last three years. This is from the "Clone Wars" section of the official site. They have a timeline. I'd post a link, but I don't want to get in trouble.

Star Wars: Episode 3 was ok...sad at bits, corny acting at parts, was expecting more fight scenes. THe ending of the movie was like the LOTRs ending in return of the king, after the story is over there are alot of other scenes, the dif is that in LOTR those scenes were fuckin annoying and pointless, the ones in Star Wars: ep 3 were needed to explain ep 4
Here's another difference between the ending of "Return of the King" and the ending of "Revenge of the Sith": George Lucas did what Peter Jackson could not. He edited the number of endings for the movie. Lucas was going to use a scene where Yoda arrives of Dagobah, but decided that it wasn't necessary.

I think that it was his true appearance (the sith lords are all ugly, that's the reflect of their soul). He revealed it willingly for dramatic purposes. It is obvious he was faking being beaten.

No, he never had that face before the lightening. Windu’s saber directed the lightening back at him. In the later comics, when you see the newborn palpatine clones he looks normal again.

Edit- And oh yea the movie is amazing!!!!!!!!!
4 stars easily!~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yoda vs palpatine is crazy :P

Episode 3 isn't as explosive as I was expecting it to be, but I definitely find it the best among the Star Wars prequels. And it's less cheesy than Episode 2.

But apparently, Anakin's reason for "turning to the Dark Side" was kinda cheesy. :P

Yes, the fight scenes were superb, though the light saber duels are pain in my eyes. Well, of course, who can't forget the final light saber duels? The one with Anakin and Obi-Wan was nonstop. And it only took one stupid move from Anakin for him to lose. Hehe... he lost an arm in Episode 2, and now he lost another arm and both legs, not to forget getting burned in the process. What a terrible end. :laugh

Yoda's fight scenes were longer and better than Episode 2. Love it, you must. :)

My only problem now is finding the first trilogy for it has been ages since I watched it. Got to find the connection this time...

This might be a little detail but i mean iwanted to know for sure..

In episode 4 Ob1 tells luke ( when he gives anakins lightsaber) that his father told ob1 to give it to luke when he was older . ( unless i am mistakin) and in episode 3 he just takes it and leaves anakin BURN! BURN BABY BRUN HAH
