Cover art for the novelization. Very slick. Surprised there's no "Episode III" above the title.

I like that. Vader (rightly) looks terrific on that cover.

Is that for sure the final cover Zen?

That's what they're saying on Star Wars.com.

There was an earlier cover that featured just Vader (but I don't seem to have saved it, dang it).

<I'm just hoping for a film as entertaining as Episode II.>

You're kidding us, right?
I think that Episode II wasn't remotely entertaining; at least not because it had some qualities.

Doesn't anyone else feel that the PreSequels completely destroy any sense of power and mystery the original trilogy had?
By turning the kind of enigmatic and untouchable backstory of the original into a new trilogy, Lucas takes this powerful tale and turns it into an ordinary story.
Watching these new films is like watching a crass demystification.

It begins in Episode I when Qui- Gon explains to young Anakin what "the force" is. Once it was a wondrous and mysterious power, now it's some chemical element.

And what became of Darth Vader?
"Seduced by the dark side"; "puberty went wrong" is more like it.

The new REVENGE OF THE SITH trailer is coming March 11, according to TheForce.net

[Loomis]

Good old George. He knocked it clear out of the park with the superb ATTACK OF THE CLONES, and I have every confidence that REVENGE OF THE SITH will be terrific stuff.

[The Dove]

I couldn't agree more Loomis! Nice to know there are a few of us here that like the prequels. I'm so stoked for Episode III! The teaser trailer was awesome and I'm sure the actual trailer will kick !! Here's to May 19th!

Yes he did knock it outta the park-no one came close to winning the Razzie award in 2002!



Ok, I hope this one is watchable...oh please George, make one decent SW prequel flick.

I read an article about it in a magazine last night, with some interesting photos of all the stars from each of the six films. Nothing much, but just how Lucas said this Star Wars film isn't your average family movie, and how the PG-13 rating is necessary.

[gkgyver]

Maybe children younger than 13 can get traumatised by a really awful movie experience so that they won't near a theatre for the rest of their lives.

Maybe theatres all around the world protested, who knows?

Like I said before, the teaser for Episode III didn't appeal to me at all.
If you already have a thin plot, then I want at least to feel soaked into

It'll be a PG-13? Is this for sure?

No, from what I read, it didn't seem like concrete 100%, but I would bet on it Loomis.

George Lucas making a PG-13 Star Wars film

Does he have any idea how much money he may be missing out on by doing this?

[gkgyver]

I doubt that Lucas needs to worry about money anymore ...

[Turn]

I doubt that Lucas needs to worry about money anymore ...

True, but when has it stopped him before? He could have probably retired off what he made from American Graffiti if not the first Star Wars.

Then again, he'll probably have a PG version of Revenge of the Sith along with an extended director's cut with more violence along with the updated version 20 years from now with updated effects, etc., etc. etc.

[Triton]

I look forward to seeing the trailer on March 11.

I can't say that I have much of an opinion either way at this point concerning Star Wars: Revenger of the Sith.

I believe that it is a little premature to have an opinion, even if the plotline has been released on the Internet. The plotline or the teaser trailer aren't the movie.

[gkgyver]

>Then again, he'll probably have a PG version of Revenge of the Sith along with an extended director's cut with more violence along with the updated version 20 years from now with updated effects, etc., etc. etc.<

He doesn't have to wait 20 years. In my opinion, the effects of the two prequels need some serious reworking already.
I don't know ... I've nothing against CGI, but in my opinion, the prequels have the worst CGI effects in contemporary cinema.

LOL! He seems very prepared to get that PG-13 rating for it, it seems like a definite. He mentions how this is pretty much the first Star Wars film that you'll have to think a bit more on which kids to take to see it.

[Qwerty]

How time has flown by. One more film to go...

The opening crawl.

but the first word "War" is supposed to follow with an exclamation point (!).

[Qwerty]

Interesting. I never really called it/knew it as the opening crawl before though.

[DLibrasnow]

I'll no doubt go to see it, but these prequels are nowhere near as good as the originals.

Why does technology seem bacwards (ie more advanced in the past/prequels?).

[hrabb04]

I'm no rocket scientist, but could it be because they were made 20 yrs later than the originals?

[Qwerty]

Because Lucas wouldn't leave the originals alone, making changes and all.

[DLibrasnow]

I'm no rocket scientist, but could it be because they were made 20 yrs later than the originals?

Your misunderstanding my post hrabb...I am talking about technology IN the prequels, not the technology used to make the movies.

If the original movies are supposedly 20 years after the prequels, shouldn't the technology in the ANH, TESB and ROTJ be more advanced than in the prequels rather than the other way around.

Perhaps it's me looking too much in to these films, and I'm not necessarily saying this is valid, or makes sense. Supposing we say the time of the Republic is a golden age. A time of great advances in Star Warsian art and literature and whatever else, with great leaps and bounds made in technology. Enter the dark times of the Empire and say a dark age. People living their days just to survive and not to improve upon technology and whatnot. Then they lose much of what had created.

If that makes sense.

Then again, the Death Star was "the greatest technological terror" or something like that.

Then again, this is Star Wars, so it doesn't really need to explain itself, it's just there.

Good old George. He knocked it clear out of the park with the superb ATTACK OF THE CLONES...

What the hell? Which movie did you see?!
