Don't blame me if you read this. :P

then i wont..i like placing blame

So what you guys think about EIII - more crap or something different?

well the first 2 episodes were garbage..the trailer for this one looks awesome... i think one of the main problems in the first 2 episodes was anakin..the actors were terrible... and the whole jedis have a paraiste in their body that gives them the force???..what the hell is that?? that was a cop out.....

Yeah the metaclorians bullshit was silly. He could have left that messy sillyness out completely, it isn't like he explained to us how other things worked. It really didn't matter, I was happier that it wasn't explained, you can't expect that there will be a satisfying explaination for everything in a fantasy. Just give us good characters with a good solid story, keep to the basics first for christ's sake. Then if your going to spend a bundle of money put it into decent actors and not no name assholes who have to carry a significant portrait of a major character and then don't expect people to be pissed as hell when you do it. I think Lucas should seriously reconsider his decisions and not make them in a fucken vacuum.

I hope there is a SF story out there that can do better in film than this crop of star wars films and capture the imagination as the first two films did and give us something to forget that these two preqeul piles of shit ever existed.

Well at least the actor Ewan McGregor thinks this latest film is better than the first two, if you simply count the fight sequences.

I will look forward to at least that part of it, maybe there will be an edited version of EIII that will make me happy like they did with EI and came out with an Episode I edited version to cut out Jar-Jar's crap dialog.

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

^^^ You're referring to the midichlorian nonsense. Well, at least I thought it was nonsense until I heard where Lucas is going with it.

Darth Vader's supposed to be this incredibly powerful warrior, but all we see of him is how he can choke people from across the room and how he's pretty good with a lightsaber. He's also a decent pilot, but we never see him do anything we would expect from one with his stature, Clone Warrior, hunter-killer of the Jedi, etc. He doesn't use the lightning or do backflips or heft spaceships with the Force.

Well, this is because he's missing most of his body (and hence, his midiclorians) by the time he's in the suit. "He's more machine now than man." So the midiclorians accunt for the fact that Darth is not nearly as powerful as we would expect a full-fledged Sith Master to be. Hell, he could barely fight off Ben as an old man!

Anyway, I thought it was such bullshit before, but now I can at least see why they chose to introduce "midiclorians".

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

So basically,he so f'n powerfull potentially, but he never really realizes this because of Ben throwing in a pit of fire.

Then where the hell does the emperor rank compared to Vader if Vader can pick up the emperor and launch him over the side of a huge plate form killing the emperor? Why didn't the emporer just do something clever to get out of it.

Then again what the hell is General Grevious about then? This thing is like a super jedi and it's really just a cyborg unit. How is this managed if it would be less powerful than a jedi/sith given the metaclorin counts.

Aaaa..I won't be happy with this little tedious crap no matter what Lucas makes up.

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

At the risk of the becoming a SW fanboyish discussion (too late!), the Emperor was quite distracted at the time when Vader picks him up, and probably more than a little confused. Nevertheless, the Emperor's bolts are going into Vader when he throws him down the shaft; I guess the suit is protecting him to some degree.

I don't know enough about Grevious to comment...it could be that there is a discontinuity in the logic of midichlorians. Or Grevious is not neccessarily powerful in the Force. I think he's a dumb character anyway.

After seeing as much as I have, EP III will wind up being slightly better then EP II. but still nowhere near as good as even ROTJ, let alone the other two.

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

the whole series really went to hell with those first two episodes. even if this last one is spectacular, the terribleness of the first two will remain.

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

how sadly true...

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

yeah, the first 2 eps were crap, but the trailer for ep3 looks promising, don't it?

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

It?s the 1st Star Wars movie you need to be 16 years old to watch it in Europe. :shock: All movies before were ok for 12 year old kids already.

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

[quote=mario belter]yeah, the first 2 eps were crap, but the trailer for ep3 looks promising, don't it?[/quote]

yes, my thoughts exactly. but wasn't episode 2 a bit better than 1?

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

A lot better, but still not great. There's this element of cheesiness that permeates the whole prequel trilogy that I just don't understand.

Based on the preview for Episode II, Episode III won't be much better. I remember being all psyched up to see AOTC, but it was pretty lame on repeat viewings (whereas I feel like I could sit through the originals every day). You can't judge it by the previews- they cut out all the cheesy stuff and bad acting.

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

Im excited to see Eps III, but wont have the same expectations as i did watching Eps I

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

In the spirit of not wanting to cause a riot. Theaters across the nation already have their screener copies of the movie. They got them in March 3rd. Not bad, unless you don't like watchin the movie w/ a permantly placed footnote across the screen. I won't ruin the movie for anyone, but all I can say is Lucas has redeemed himself once again! You will def. see more of a relationship between empire and rotj in this movie. THIS MOVIE IS DARK, DARK, DARK, DARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those who have always wondered, what would happen if the Sith were to become all powerful and take over....... I give you Epsiode III.

P.S. Grievous is the F*&!@# S@#$!

"The Imperial Senate will no longer be of concern, I have just recieved word that the Emperor has dissolved the councel...permantly"

Re: Star Wars Episode III (spoilers)

^^^ Nice brief review. After reading this, I really can't wait to see this movie. The anticipation is killing me.
