saw this tonight thought it was pretty cool.



however, there were 2 hyperactive kids in front who rustled sweet papers, kept moving about, talking to each other 8O and generally being distracting THROUGH THE WHOLE FRIGGING FILM. they were there with the parents (the dad was directly in front of me) and they didnt do anything to stop them! to make it worse dad kept dropping hideously obnoxious roast dinner farts all over the shop :x :x



in the end, whenever the kids starte dplaying up i just started kneeing dad in the back of the chair, over and over and over haha. he didnt do anything but i think he got the message. hahaha.



but yeah, thought this was def the best of the prequel, really enjoyable.

i�m gonna watch it in less than 45 minutes 8)



RISE LORD VADER!!

hehe! your in for a treat dude!



'thats not a moon - thats a spacestation' X-D

There's no real spoilers, so...



We just got back a couple of hours ago. We headed out around 11:30am to pick up 'stash's step-dad and went to go wait in line at the theater. Later on we met up with a couple of old friends who are the biggest Star Wars fans - and who were curious to see how our son would take to this film.



It was a sold out show, and the theater is huuuuuuuge, I think I mentioned before it seats 2000 people but I was wrong. 1600 is more like it. Anyway, we grabbed some lunch and lined up around 12:30. We were the first people in line on this gorgeous, very warm day and we had our shade umbrella and a couple of chairs to sit on. My son was so excited, he was jumping out of his skin! He was really proud to be at the front of the line telling people that we were waiting for the 3:30 show.



As the hours dripped by, more and more people lined up down the street and around the block. Finally the doors opened and we were let in.



Overall it was a really enjoyable film, a real piece of eye candy as the special effects were outstanding and far better than Episodes 1 and 2. The story was much better, the action was much better and it seems Christian Haydensen must've went back to take some acting courses. And there were some political undertones that rang throughout the film which is a pretty bold move on Lucas' part. Definitely worthy of second and third viewings because there is so much to look at.



My biggest complaint was the air conditioning in the theater broke down about a quarter of the way into the film and it was sweltering!



I think the best part about this whole thing was being with my son who is such a big Star Wars fan. His jaw was on the cinema floor for most the film, and all the scenes with General Grievous had him sitting, mouth agape, with his little butt glued to the edge of his seat. And he'd get so excited, he'd grab onto my arm and I'd look over and he'd have this big smile on his face. It reminded me so much of my reaction when I saw Star Wars in the theater, broken air conditioning and all, all those years ago.

That's so cool, Whirly. I really wish I could experience these films (and the original trilogy) for the first time again. Especially if I could watch them in chronological sequence and be shocked at the end of Empire. Wow.



I think I'm going to go see it again, this time with my girlfriend, on Thursday.

From another forum (harmonycentral.com) I was browsing today:

Sound Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Synth

[quote name="Slipvin"]The True Meaning Of Star Wars



From the movie 'Chasing Amy' (Kevin Smith)





HOOPER

For years in this industry whenever an African-American character - hero or villain - was introduced usually by white artists and writers - they got slapped with racist names that singled them out as negroes: Black Panther, Black Lightning, Black Goliath, Black Mantra, Black Talon, Black Spider, Black Hand, Black Falcon, Black Cat..



Now my book, ?White-Hating Coon?, doesn?t have any of that bullshit. The hero?s name is Maleekwa, and he?s a descendant of the black tribe that established the first society on the planet, while all you European motherfuckers were still hiding in caves and shit, all terrified of the sun. He?s a strong role model that a young black reader can look up to, Cause I?m here to tell you - the chickens are comin? home to roost, ya?ll: the black man?s no longer gonna play the minstrel in the medium of comics and Sci-Fi/Fantasy! We?re keeping it real, and we?re gonna get respect - by any means necessary!



HOLDEN

Bullshit! Lando Calrissian was a black man, and he got to fly the Millennium Falcon!

i think there was a scene on a planet where you saw this landing platform and a falcon ship was in comming.



For the movie itself, a good one, the special effects were superbe but as for the story, well, i believe they should trust the audiance to be smart enough to get what they want to say in most of the cases, so they don't really need to explain each detail in detail. There is some human capability called imagination/fantasy . . . And the translations from scene to scene sometimes were a bit harsh like the one Anakin converted to the dark side of the might, was like "ok, know i'm evil". But all in all a good film and worth to watch, particularly in digital quality, brilliant.

I watched it the other day, but i think it would of been better if there was a lot less computer graphics.

Yep, some nice digs at Bush and his cronies there.



"If you're not with me, you're my enemy." (Hmmmm, sounds familiar...)



and I particularly like this line...



"So this is how liberty dies. To thunderous applause."

Saw it again last night and still really enjoyed it, so it looks like it's got some legs.



Still don't understand why Death Star I takes 20 years to build, while the redesign and construction of Death Star II takes around 3 years. :-?

The chronology does seem to jump about a bit at the end. The scene with Vader and Palpatine observing the Death Star under construction appears to be set a little further into the future when you think about it (TIE fighters and Imperial uniforms much more like the ones in the original trilogy).



It might have made more sense chronologically to have that scene after Luke being handed over to Lars and Beru, but then we wouldn't have the scene with the sunrise "new hope" ending.



The difference between Death Star construction times isn't quite as big as you make out, by the way. Remember there were six years between A New Hope and Return of the Jedi, not three. The scene with the Death Star's construction being observed was in my opinion meant to be a few years in the future, as I mentioned. Plus the prototype of anything takes longer to make than the "production" model.

Remember that it takes the whole three movies to convert Anakin to the Dark Side. In TPM yoda senses fear in the boy, and fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. In AotC he slaughtered that whole village (including women and kiddies) because they tortured and killed his mom. And in RotS he finally broke down.
