picked mine up yesterday at 7/11 whom had.

movie rocks.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

i hear they are limiting the copies of this one. although that may just be a marketing ploy. i'll pick it up just so i complete my collection, but tbh i thought compared to the original three, the prequels were all a load of crap.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

i liked this one the best.

so dark, violent, and links everything very well. i remember making the mistake of taking my 9 yr old cousin and the ending left him silent for a few days. i dont think he talked to anyone.

then i saw it on shrooms which was SO WORTH IT

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

2nd best of the whole series if you ask me.

I was under the influence of some of Jamacia's finest myself when I saw it the first time and I was blown away. The scene with Yoda and Palpatine fighting in the Senate chambers was just epic.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

I'm not a fan of the new ones....never bothered seeing the 3rd one after the 1st two

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

bummer. third was the best.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

same. first was ok, i fell asleep during the 2nd, never watched the third. no thanks imo

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

i still want a 3.5. Not enough Vader fucking people up. I want to watch the empire rise fully into power. I felt it lacked that ... not enough bad guy goodneess.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

what a pile this movie was. how boring is Lucas? I thought it was great how Spielberg - his contemporary - releases "War of the Worlds" which just BURIES Ep. III on every level. And then Joss fucking Whedon puts out his half-budget, Tv-series that could "Serenity" movie and it just BURIES Ep. III. Lucas should be ashamed of himself.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

opinions are like assholes...

i thought ep3 was fantastic. I actually quite enjoyed all of them. I'm just looking to be entertained with a good story, i think a lot of you are looking for the cure for cancer in some of these movies. They're just movies.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

Load me up with all 6 in another remastered box set and i'll be a happy bunny.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

^^^ no shit. i am hope he made 1-3 in HD. i am gonna need a squeegeefor my tv.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

Dunno about Episode I, but i think Ep II was the first major movie to be shot entirely using HD digital cameras. Lucas had the cameras specially designed for filmmaking by a team at Sony or something. So I guess they can just plonk all the raw footage on a HD-DVD without even needing to reencode :p

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

yes.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

[quote=asdf_admin]bummer. third was the best.[/quote]

I am sure I will end up renting it or seeing it at someones house at some point, but Im not in a rush

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

no rush, just check it out when you get a chance. i also did not like the first two, i felt they got better as they went along, but the third was actually Lucas material.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

It was a cool movie and had me definitely entertained. Worthy of collecting.

I just thought the pacing and character development was horrible.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

[QUOTE]I just thought the pacing and character development was horrible.[/QUOTE]

so very true.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

not enough FFN for my tastes

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

Ffn?

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

And for all you video game nerds out there don't forget about Star Wars Battlefront 2 coming out today as well.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

[FONT=Tahoma]not the biggest fan of the whole star wars saga, but always enjoyed watching them. the first two prequels were a little weak and a little too kiddy like for my taste, but I enjoyed the third one. watching a fallen anakin transform into vader was kick ass. the third one actually made me want to go and watch the next ones over again. isn't that what makes for a good prequel?[/FONT]

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

[QUOTE]he third one actually made me want to go and watch the next ones over again. isn't that what makes for a good prequel?[/QUOTE]

same here. made me watch all three again. thank goodness it was over the weekend.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

Haven't seen this one yet...but will definately get around to it now that its out on DVD.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

I loved the thrid, but then again I was rasied on SW so I even liked Ep 1&2 :NotMe:

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

the worst movie ive seen in a cinema, sorry :p

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

Pissed on the previous two, pissed on by the first three.

Lucas pretty much fucked up the entire series with the recent ones, just terrible films. Gutted.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

Good thing this one made up for the last 2 that did not sit too well with me

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

[I]Great take on the film below. I didn't write it... So, please don't take TOO much offense. It's just too funny not to include in this thread...[/I]

< beware : spoilers below >

[B]Star Wars Episode III: a Steaming Pile of Sith[/B]

I didn't think it was possible to be more unimpressed with Star Wars. Today, I stand corrected. If you were unfortunate enough to hear your stupid co-workers yammering on about Lucas' latest shit burger, you might have heard them saying something like "I didn't like the first two, but this one was good!" When I ask why, these people have trouble responding because it's hard to talk with George Lucas' penis in their mouths.

Perhaps the question I should be asking is "why didn't you like the other two movies if you liked this one?" Nothing has changed. You have the same vacant-looking actors running around, aimlessly bumping into things, an army of stupid, sensitive robots, and dialogue clumsy enough to warrant putting a handicap sticker on George Lucas' car.

Before I go on, I have to address something that all you stupid Star Wars nerds are probably thinking right about now: "But, it's a movie made for kids, what do you expect?" Lucas stated in an interview with the BBC: "The movies are for children but [the fans] don't want to admit that."

Oh really? It just so happens that this "children's movie" has a scene where a guy gets his hands chopped off, a graphic decapitation, the wanton slaughter of children (the highlight of any movie), and the coolest scene in any space action movie starring Ewan McGregor: Anakin getting his legs chopped off as his stumps catch fire while his face melts. By the way, if you haven't seen this movie yet, don't read the previous sentence.

The most damning thing about this epic waste of time is the piece-meal plot hatched together with just enough goodwill and nostalgia to pacify the average idiot. Besides all the jedis in the movie being morons who are unable to detect conspiracies involving the cooperation of thousands of soldiers, Lucas does his best to make this movie extra insulting to our intelligence:

Senator Palpatine seduces Anakin to the dark side in about as much time as it takes for you to finish reading this sentence. Nevermind the fact that Anakin knows Palpatine is a Sith lord before accepting his offer, or that Sith lords are known for doing things like, oh, I don't know, KILLING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. Anakin is on a mission to save his wife, Padme, from certain death! Or at least likely death. Okay, it was a dream. But it seemed pretty real during the flashback sequence, so Anakin has no reason not to believe this dream will come true, as is the tendency of dreams.

Near the end, Lucas takes a shit on the script and makes his crew translate it into an ending that putters across the finish line. The product is a scene where Anakin tries to literally choke Padme using the force:

Yes, that's right. The entire reason Anakin switched to the dark side becomes unraveled when he tries to kill Padme, who was the reason he switched to the dark side to begin with. Oops! Of course, Star Wars apologists will try to point out that Anakin was already under the influence of the "dark side" at this point. So that's why the first thing he asks as Darth Vader is whether Padme is safe, right you morons?

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

Never seen it. I really did not care for the prequels at all. Nothing will ever live up to the first 3.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

[FONT=Tahoma]i'm still waiting for a spaceballs prequel. i've always thought spaceballs kicked starwars ass.[/FONT]

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

[quote=rewing3]Nothing will ever live up to OUR COLLECTIVE RECOLECTION OF the first 3.[/quote]

Edited. Could it be that the first three aren't so hot either, but we saw them when we were kids as opposed to synical adults, and just accepted what was good about them while not minding the bad? Now looking back, our fondness is tinged with nostalgia. Just a thought.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

I have to say that 1 & 2 were definately a disapointment. Ep 3 was a step in the right direction but its just to late. I dont think it would have been possible to make the "perfect" SW prequels. SW fans are so loyal and devoted that no detail goes without complete scrutiny. To tell the ENTIRE story and all of the small ins and outs that the typical SW fan desires would take 20 episodes. Is it really a surprise that the prequels couldnt compare to the original series. Since when do the sequels/prequels ever out do the originals? I am content with the end of the series because its over and I have to be. Those sick days staying home from school and watching 4, 5, and 6 all day can never be erased or tarnished. Not even Jar-Jar can bring those great childhood memories down.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

i'm just hoping they come out with a special darth helmet/death star case that carries all of them.

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

i've bought the third one before I saw it and I like it but not nearly as much as the 4,5,6.. they just seem more advanced to me then 4,5,6 and that doesnt' make any sense because it is supposed to be before..

Re: reminder star wars 3 out today.

I just saw it last night...worth the watch. Still wish Lucas didn't think his audience was 10 years old.
