    Default Okay, Geek moment...

    I think the last two suck a fat rock, but by the look of this trailer... the last one could really rule...

    I fucking hope so...

    I watched it last night with my son....6 times...before playing Halo2. I agree, it has potential...but only if they don't have those cutesy fucking...anythings...in it.

    I hope it is good. The first one (Episode I) was a little far fetched.

    The second one (Episode II) was a bit better. It really had it's moments.

    Stories about people making their way to "the dark side" are always interesting - the formation of that mindset... the tragedy.

    Sounds like he is getting serious about making a sequel also. Lord knows the actors are old enough to actually work in one as their original characters... even as cameo's to tell the story of their children.

    One and two sucked. The special effects were cool enough, but the dialog...geezus, some pornos have better dialog! George Lucas may be able to do a lot with special effects...but his screen writing skills leave a LOT to be desired.

    I won't be rushing out to see this movie. You KNOW they always show the best scenes in the trailer. Judging from the last 2 episodes...that's about the entire movie.

    I think I'll wait for this one to hit the shelves.

    Honestly I couldn't tell very much from the trailer. Half of it was just scenes from the episodes 1 & 2. Yeah the special effects looked cool, but like Venus said, it was other aspects of the film which completely ruined the other movies.

    Especially Episode II, the flow of the movie kept getting interupted in order to build the relationship between Anican and the Princess. Only to have a complete lack of any chemistry between the two, nothing like the chemistry between Han and Leah. Everything just felt awkward and forced.

    Also, even though I enjoy the special effects, they can sometimes go too far with them. I've been looking all over to find copies of the original trilogy WITHOUT the added scenes and digital enhancements. Seeing Jabba walking around in Episode IV was lame.

    Okay, back to my recliner of rage.

    Gotta see all the fight sequences that you know are coming. Emperor Palpatine actually wielding a red lightsaber. Yoda in the fray again too. You know Mace Windu's demise will be something to talk about, its in his contract. What I really want to know though is how Obi-Wan spanked Anakin so bad that he ended up in that famous black armored suit. Bye bye Jar-Jar lol.

    You are deluding yourself.

    Just keep saying, "There are only three Star Wars movies, there are only three Star Wars movies..."

    It makes the Jar-Jar noises go away.

    I think that the trailer looked pretty damn cool. It's cool seeing a supposed 'good guy' fall from grace.

    Hell.......it just might be good to see Vader again. hehehehhehe

    From what I have read, Obi Wan and Anikin's 'fight' takes place on that volcano world you saw at the beginning of the trailer. I'll leave the rest for you to imagine
    I've heard that a good signiture sets you apart from everyone.
    Well......is this good enough???

    I think the chemistry between them was suppossed to be a little forced. After all, they both have a little bit of attitude.

    I think it's just the shitty dialogue in all those silly scenes. Sure Natalie looked pretty va-va-voom in that black getup in the fireside chat with Anakin, but no sparks flew... at all. Padme and Anakin might as well have been talking about the weather. And how friggin unsexy is an open declaration of love? No wonder Linda Ronstat left George Lucas back in the day.

    At best, episode 2 was "all right."

    Darth Maul was cool, but Episode 1 could have doubled as a horse tranquilizer.

    Bleh. Didn't like one and two at all.

    NightWalker says that's way too long to wait. He likes them for nostalgia, not because the new ones are that good.

    I'll go dressed up if someone else goes with me.

    Cinnamonbun-head all the way! Or maybe that leather getup [anyone else find it amusing that THAT was the outfit she chose to say "we can't do this!" in?] from the last movie... Or maybe both!

    Yeeeah...to say it lightly...how about when he said, "I don't like sand...it's to rough...not like you..."

    Uhhh...I looked at Scorpio and said, "Did he just say what I thought he said?" How fricking cheesy...if someone would have said that to me, I would have laughed my ass off.

    I don't care about special effects...I want good dialoge and a flowing story. The special effects is the icing on the cake.

    NightWalker [it just looks so silly to write that] uses that line on me ALL THE TIME because first date he tried to say "you're skin is so soft" in all sincerity and I followed with "Not like sand??"
    "Your skin is so soft, not like gritty, atrocious sand stirred together with rusty nails"
    *smirks* We're dork-asses, so sue us.

    VG, It's easy to see why George Lucas has been single for so long when you see his idiotic idea of romance...

    There was a preview for it during the Incredibles [which was an awesome movie, by the way] and when more people than just my boyfriend and me went "DUN dun DA-DUN dun DUNDUN!" at the end of the preview it was so entertaining.

    NightWalker is the name my bf has insisted I use, as "all the strippers and djs and everyone" have cool names and he doesn't - so at least in situations where we'll be talking to strippers.
