And, so far it apparently has not been a let down. This is very very good. Hopefully, George won't dissapoint for the rest of us.

Some of those are a little hard to stomach...

Ive been saying it for 3 years now. Revenge of the Sith will be the best of the prequels, and one ofthe best star wars movies, and will rock you.

I maintain my position.

I'll believe it all when I see it. Until such a time, I remain doubtful.

I stand with that position.

It is what it is. High expectations have killed the experience. I want to go into this movie the way I went into A New Hope when I first saw it---unsure of what to expect and open-minded. This is a movie that could be truly nostalgic to anyone willing to go back to the prequel of their own lives, the prequel before they saw Star Wars.

Yep. In true Star Wars fashion.

Some of the "fresh" reviews aren't that positive. This all-or-nothing system Rottentomatoes uses is a bit misleading.

A agree. It seems kind of simplistic to me to call a movie either "fresh" or "rotten", same with "two thumbs up" - its really not detailed enough.

not to mention with the quotes, they just put "two thumbs up" or "great movie"... when the source may have actually said "This could have been a great movie if..." or "I would have put my two thumbs up except that..."

I'm prepared to love this movie, no matter what. It would take a major catastrophe to make me dislike it.

Considering the fact that I like the first two prequels, I don't think there's any way I'll be let down here.

Yeah, you're right, they can't get any worse. :p

It's kinda true. AotC was exponentially better than TPM. If lucas follows the same model, then RotS should be great, because AotC was pretty damned decent.

I just really like the way the first two prequels set up the story.

I just wish Yoda could be a puppet again.

Heck, I'd prefer it if they hung him from strings for the saber duels. Seriously.

Aye, at least the CGI Yoda they're using this time looks consistent from scene to scene. Not like the awful one in AOTC.

Theres only two things I hope are completely explained in Episode 3..

1. What's this disappearing act that Yoda and Obi Wan are able to do, give more info on it

2. Who the hell is/was Sypho Dias.... If it's sidious I still dont understand how the Jedi knew of him, etc, or what it may be.....

here's what i expect to see... DARTH VADER

i don't care about the rest of the movie... vader instanly makes the movie rock...

1) They both learn this "trick" through Qui-Gon Jinn. Yoda learns it on Dagobah and Obi-Wan learns the secret while in seclusion on Tatooine.

2) Sorry if it disappoints, but Sifo-Dyas is Sifo-Dyas. He was a Jedi master that ordered the creation of a clone army and was later killed by Count Dooku (I think). But he did order the clones. I think it is explained in either Labyrinth of Evil or one of the Star Wars comics.

Spork, there is a very, very strong anti-Bush theme to this movie, if you look closely enough.

TimeWolfofthPast, there *was* a backstory of Count Dooku and the creation of the clone army for Episode II, but Lucas chose to get rid of that for a 20 minute Mega Man video game in the droid factory cause he "really wanted to see R2-D2 fly."

The puppet Yoda in TPM was HORRIBLE. The CGI one in AotC is vastly superior.

Some times if you look hard enough, you will see things that don't exist. Besides, how do you know if you haven't seen it?

However, I am tired of seeing movies containing stupid, "Bush is teh stupidzor!!1!OMGone" themes. Instead of using any wit, they resort to the type of bashing three years old often employ. I wonder if these people realize how petty and stupid their movie will look in twenty years, if much of it is dedicated to clunky political jabs. Seriously, if you want a good movie, leave the obtuse political jabs to Fahrenheit 9/11.

This rant is about Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy rather than Episode III, which i haven't seen yet.

Actually Obi, he's right. It's been said in reviews to keep an eye out for it.

Obi_Kwiet, read the book. The book carries the theme of the Anti-Bush. I am not saying I support the anti-Bush in the movie, and personally it disgusts me. Hell look at the old Star Wars trilogy, it carried alot of the Vietnam War theme. The poorly equipped, vastly outnumbered and outgunned Rebel Alliance (The Vietnamese) defeats the incredibly large and powerful Galactic Empire (The American War Machine) who thinks there way of running things is the best. Again not saying I agree or disagree.

But when you watch the movie, look how they treat Chancellor Palpatine. Palpatine is supposedly played incredibly well, but every other character thinks he is too powerful politically, gaining too much influence over everyone too quickly in the name of peace and justice; taking away the rights of the citizens and personal security in order to "protect" everyone. So who does Palpatine sound like?

The formation of the Galactic Empire scene is the most sickening anti-Bush moment in the story from the book. And odds are it'll be almost identical to the movie. The movie starts off with a giant ship crashing on Coruscaunt, destroying lives and buildings and causing large amounts of devistation. The Jedi Temple looks like the WTC when the smoke is coming out of it. There really is alot of Anti-Bush stuff in the movie, and it's not "OMG TEH BUSH IS EVIL" but it's subliminal. Hell I didn't even SEE IT until a guy I know told me. I went back and looked and sure enough, it is there.

Well, THRAWN, while I'm not disagreeing, I will say that I've come to two conclusions about that.

1) You won't see the resmblence unless you want to see it

or

2) You won't see it until someone tells you about it.

I really think its just how one perceives things.

It depends on what you mean by Anti-Bush. If you are convinced that Bush is an evil, empire building cooperate scum, well, you could see anti-Bush elements in any movie. I was upset about how they ruined Zapod to make a rather clumsy political jab.

I don't know what you're talking about in the books. I've read them. They were written before most people had even heard of Bush Jr.

EDIT: Whoa wait.. You were talking about the RotS book, not the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

We have reason to believe there may be an oil field under the Jedi temple.

You guys are seriously finding things that just aren't there. Stop looking for symbolism.

The Star Wars movies do carry themes of what was going on in history, both past and present. The OT had elements of WWII and Vietnam, one could assume that the PT has elements that are going on in this time as well.

There may be hidden symbolism, but you guys are just poking holes in places where there arent any symbols. ITS JUST A FREAKING MOVIE!

I'm not poking holes, I'm just saying such a possiblity of symbolism is possible, as Lucas has said his films relate a lot to historical events. In reality, I don't care, people who overanalyze stuff need lives.

Fox News did a piece on EP III. And I'm sure you all are going to be SO suprised to hear this but the ENTIRE MOVIE was done in front of a green screen. They did not leave the sets. So yes folks, Episode III is 95% computer generated.

Y'all wanna buy those tickets right now?

Because whether or not they used real sets will curb my enthusiasm.

Sin City was filmed all in front of green screen as well. I loved it. Next argument...

I was never enthused to begin with, but that does dissapoint me. Unless, of course, it ends up looking like Sin City. At which point I'll still be dissapointed, but won't care since I can't tell.

who cares man? If Lucas wants to spend his money and have all of his scenes using CGI, go ahead. i have no problems with it. In the end, he is gonna make atleast 2x the amount of money spent on CGI.

Remember, what the viewer does not know about the film can't hurt him (or her.)

Palpatine's supposed to be Hitler.
I dunno, maybe I was the only person who noticed the whole "Stormtroopers", "Chancellor", "War Time Emergency Powers", "Ethnic Cleansing", "Ultimate Power", "Master Race" thing...
Maybe I missed Bush's speech where he announced he would not allow elections? Or would be rounding all persons of middle-eastern decent and having his elite guard vaporize them?

-I'm trying to be sarcastic here, but by invoking Hitler and possibly comparing Bush to him in some people's eyes (not meant in seriousness), I may have doomed this topic...

I think your sarcasm summed up what lucas was trying to do perfectly. However, those anti-bush fanatics see evil Bush in their breakfast cereal every morning, so its only natural that they'll see him in a movie that has any form of politics in it.
