Episode III - More Images (Possible Spoilers)
2005-03-11, 5:28 AM #401
That trailer captures the spirit of the old movies brilliantly! I noticed that there wasn't a single piece of prequel music used throughout the entire thing, a wise decision.

Assuming they are still CGI, I love the animation work on the Clonetroopers, they capture the menace of the trilogy's Stromtroopers perfectly.

Must say, I was surprised to see so much of the story revealed, good to see Lucas held back on revealing the action sequences though.

I'm surprised they showed Nute Gunray's death in the trailer. Pretty cool though, Anakin just slices his chest open.

Heh. That looked just like something out of JA: A slice that leaves behind a glowing burn mark.

Some new dialogue:


OBI-WAN
You were the chosen one! It was said you would destroy the
Sith, not join them. It was you who would bring balance to the
Force, not leave it in darkness. You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you, but I could not save you.

__________________________________________
OBI-WAN says this to Anakin when all that is left is a mechanical arm and his charred torso.
__________________________________________


SAN HILL
Welcome, Lord Vader! On behalf of the leadership of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, let me be the first to...

VADER
Very well. You will be the first.

VADER removes his hood and ignites his saber.

SAN HILL
You're Anakin Skywalker!

VADER digs his saber into the chest of SAN HILL.

VADER
The resemblance is deceptive.


Note: As you can guess from there, Anakin is named Darth Vader before he enters the suit.

Now THAT is cool.

Witty one-liners + DV + Lightsaber action.

Because timewolf isn't here to do it, I'll update with this:

SAN HILL
Welcome, Lord Vader! On behalf of the leadership of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, let me be the first to...

VADER
Very well. You will be the first.

VADER removes his hood and ignites his saber.

SAN HILL
You're Anakin Skywalker!

VADER digs his saber into the chest of SAN HILL.

VADER
The resemblance is deceptive.

SHU MAI
We were promised a reward...a handsome reward!

VADER
I am your reward. You don't find me handsome?

RUNE HAAKO
Stop! Enough! We surrender, do you understand? You can't just kill us!

VADER
Can't I?

RUNE HAAKO
We're unarmed! We surrender! Please, please, you're a Jedi!

VADER
You fought a war to destroy the Jedi.

VADER slashes RUNE HAAKO.

VADER (cont.)
Congratulations on your success.



and a second:



Obi-Wan dives into a forward roll that ends up with him on the rim of a low cliff, just above the soft black sand of a lava riverbank.

Anakin snarls at Obi-Wan, realising he has been tricked. He leaps off his droid at Obi-Wan's back but is half a second too slow.

Obi-Wan whirls to parry Anakin, but his saber doesn't meet Anakin's blade. Instead, he slices off Anakin's leg at the knee. Then he slices of the other leg at the knee. And while Anakin is still in the air, Obi-Wan uses his blade to slice off Anakin's left arm above the elbow. He steps back as Anakin falls.

Anakin drops his lightsaber, clawing at the edge of the cliff with his mechanical hand, but his grip becomes too powerful for the lava bank and the edge crumbles, and he slides down onto the black sand.

His severed legs and his severed arm rolls into the lava below him and immediately burns.

Anakin claws at the soft black sand, but his struggling only makes him slip farther. The sand itself is hot; digging his mechanical arm into it burns off his glove, and his robes begin to smolder.

Obi-Wan picks up Anakin's lightsaber. He lifts his own as well and weighs them in his hands. Anakin had based his design upon Obi-Wan's and thus they appear very similar.

"Obi-Wan..." pleads Vader from the riverbank. Kenobi looks down. Vader's jedi robes burn while his hair is blackened.

"You were the chosen one! It was said you would destroy The Sith, not join them. It was you who would bring balance to The Force, not leave it in darkness. You were my brother, Anakin," says Obi-Wan. "I loved you, but I could not save you."

Above in the sky, Obi-Wan sees a Theta-Class shuttle entering the atmosphere.

Suddenly, Darth Vader bursts into flame.

"I hate you" screams Vader. Obi-Wan Kenobi turns, not wanting to go against the Jedi Code and murder, walks away.


That last scene is going to make me cry.

Good! I was hoping that Anakin would start talking like Vader before he entered the suit, makes the transaction so much easier.

Holy crap, after those last two spoilers I'd say its impossible for this movie to get a PG rating. *giddy*

does vader actually make physical contact with the lava, or does he merely catch on fire?
2005-03-14, 9:09 AM #412
I think its only from extreme heat.

judging by the complete loss of hair, I'd say lava. That or baldness is hereditry in the Skywalker family.

I seriously doubt it's from Lava. If he were to fall in actual lava, he'd literally melt in seconds. No amount of force shield or powers could prevent that. I think GL did the only thing he could in keeping with the tale of how Anakin was so badly injured and without going against the laws of physics! It makes sense falling onto a lava bed as the temperatures would definitley account for the burns of which he had to endure and couldn't escape from due to lack of legs and missing arm.
2005-03-14, 12:34 PM #416
Basically, Anakin falls onto a bed of superheated sand and ash and burns to death. The heat and inhalation of superhot gas probably destroys his lungs. Obi-wan leaves anakin to burn. Picture Denethor in RotK.

they can't just keep changing how things look in terms of saber effects, I mean... first they get sliced in two, now they've got JA effects... :rolleyes:

It's just not flowing throughout the series as much if they do this.
Sneaky sneaks. I'm actually a werewolf. Woof.
2005-03-14, 2:37 PM #420
I think they would've done that in EP1 had they the thought about it, but maybe JA gave GL the idea to do it in EP3. I think its a cool effect...maybe he'll (GL) will go back and do that for the other movies as well.
2005-03-14, 2:59 PM #421
According to Lucas on the Return of the Jedi commentary, Anakin Skywalker is dead at the end of EpIII. That's why he appears as he does as a ghost.

Like Maw his rage is probably what keeps his consciousness there through mortal wounds. Either that or Palpatine uses Sith alchemy to return him to life.

General Grevious is not just a useless villian to take up screen time and create excuses for action scenes.

Think about it, kids. He has a hard time breathing. What do he and vader have in common?

Unless he was just cut with the tip of the blade.

the clothes are being burned.. thats prolly why it's glowing. most things do that when they're on fire. the wound should be automatically cauterised, so if anything is wrong, it's the guy's arm that ben kenobi cut off in the bar that had blood on it.

Some of these games they go to Lucas with to get his stamp of approval, at least as far as the plot, characters, etc. :)

2005-03-15, 11:39 AM #430
lucas does not have to play the games... chances are the guys at ILM played the games and thought it'd be cool and added it and lucas most likely agreed....

or we could wait to see a clip longer than half a second... for all we know the dude falls into a bunch of different pieces after being sliced, but it's impossible to tell with such a short clip
Moo.

that dude who did the cover art did it for indiana jones too, as well as several of the star wars EU books. he rocks so much.

i think his signature says 'drew', but i've never bothered to actually look him up.

If you're tired of seeing pictures and spoilers, stop looking at the thread.

With the movie release getting closer, I want even more pictures and information, and I'm sure others do too. This thread is still far from death.

I am SOOO excited for Episode III. For Episode I and II I've made the crowd shut up and asked them a question, can't remember what they were. But like I'll ask them when I enter the theatre May 19th, I ask the forum...

...WHO THE **** IS BACK IN BLACK?!?!
2005-03-17, 4:49 AM #440
This far, it seems that Episode III is going to be the best movie. I just hope it will stay that way.
