View Full Version : Any hope for Revenge of the Sith?

Okay, we've all been down that road before... having high hopes for the prequels, only to have them smashed by too much Jar Jar or poor acting. Everyone has been disappointed in some way by George's prequel ideas, and now with ROTS right around the corner what do you think he'll have in store for us? Do you think Lucas will pull through this time? Or will it be a plot hole filled CGI mess?

If it hadn't been for that ridiculous love story "Attack of the Clones" would have been a great movie so I do have hope for the third.

I think George Lucas has been consistent with the films (even if he didn't direct 5 and 6). They've always been childish it's just a lot of the audience has grown up since the originals. If you look at the films they always have over-the-top or cheesy dialogue, ham acting and made in the style of a B-movie. There's music over every scene to try and aid the bad acting just like some bad American soap
Having said that I still find them amusing. I'm just looking forward to the Obi-Wan vs. Anakin fight really

The only really redeeming parts of Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones were the lightsaber duels. And those were AWESOME.
So Revenge of the Sith? The story's going to be weak, the acting's going to be painful and the CGI is going to look fake. But I'll go for the lightsaber duel and James Earl Jones.

Lucas has lost his mind and is focused on making Star Wars movies family films. Disptite the name.....he's a moron and doesnt know what the hell he is doing with his own movie series. Steven S begged Lucas to let him make some Star Wars movies I think Lucas was stupid not to accept. He just liked the control....the control to put things that suck into his movies *cough*Gungans*cough*

I'm probably one of few people who don't have many gripes with the new films. The Phantom Menace was mostly crap, but there was some cool stuff. Attack of the Clones, I thought, was awesome. I have very high hopes for Revenge of the Sith, very high.

I think Lucas is slowly killing star wars... I'm hoping this last one here will save the series... but I doubt it... i'm going to see it, just cause it says Star Wars on it and lightsabers battles always rock... just ease off the CGI Mr.Lucas please!! please!! :cry: ...

I, for one, can't wait for this movie. I mean, the Jedi have to get wiped out. It's not like it's some plague or freak accident. They have to hardcore FIGHT. With lightsabers. That's all I need to be satisfied. Hell, I would've paid $5 just to see the Darth Maul saber fight from Phantom Menace.

I'll go see it, but I have a feeling I'll be disappointed like I was the previous two. I saw a thing on Entertainment Tonight, and they said that there is a special effect in every shot for this movie, and that pisses me off cause I know it's not a cool, more practical special effect, but some crappy, annoying CGI. Lucas needs to take some lessons from Peter Jackson. Pete knew when and where to use CGI in the LOTR films. He used both practical special FX and CGI when needed. He didn't use CGI for every little friggin' thing like that stupid bastard who thinks CGI is the tomarrow of friggin filmmaking, that g**damn motherf**king sonuvabitchin' flabbin' corkshucking mundanenoodle asslicking turd!!

Ah... i cannot wait for this movie to come out! I admit, episode one mostly sucked, because A. Jar jar... and B. young Anne... But the saber fight was frickin awesome, i just wish it was like that in the second episode.
I liked Episode 2 a lot. Obi Wan is my fave and seeing him not being a padawan is awesome, and seeing Annikin slowly going towards to dark side just rules, and plus not as much jar jar. And the whole arena filled with all the jedi's fighting, that was awesome.
This one cant suck... after seeing the teaser trailer on the site... ahh!!! i wanna see it! And like what Ai said, the jedi council are gonna have a hardcore fight, we're gonna see Mace whoop some butt. We're gonna see Vader come alive, baby luke and leah... and see obi wan and annikin duel, which i cannot wait for.
And wookies!!

I honestly can't wait to see this either. They can have 2 hours of Jar Jar for all I care, as long as we get to see the Jedi blown to hell and the whole galaxy goes to the Empire. My dream is that the closing scene will be sort of like that of AOTC, but we see original trilogy stormtroopers boarding original trilogy star destroyers, while Vader and Palpatine watch.
Has anyone else seen the leaked scenes that shows what happens to Dooku?

I thought The Phantom Menace was terrible (As a whole, it had its moments), but I thought Attack of the Clones was pretty nice (Again, as a whole).
I'm not such a big Star Wars fan, so I don't care too much if the new movies 'ruin' anything. I'm not too fond of all the CGI though. I thought Yoda looked amazing in Episode I (A puppet) , but I hated how he looked in Episode II (A fully CG character). I get the impression Lucas is just taking the easiest way, instead of the best.
Anyway.
I'll go see Revenge of the Sith, but I'm not sure what to expect. At least the origin of Darth Vader will be cool.

Whoever made the comment about Peter Jackson and CGI being better in LOTR than Star Wars was a bit over the top. You can see how terrible some of the stuff looks in the LOTR sometimes, just plain terrible. Legolas on the Cave troll in the first one or even the hobbits with everyone bowing near the end of the third were awful things to look at. I think Star Wars looked a lot better overall considering most of it actually was CGI (backgrounds, characters and all)
As for blood, I don't think you'd see much because I imagine lightsabers and blasters cauterise wounds :D

As for this movie. Being a Star Wars junkie, I'll defend the franchise with my dying breath. However, I agree that Lucas has really made a mess with the CGI in the films.
The Jedi dying is a big plus.
Vader's birth is a big plus.
Hayden Christensen not talking is a big plus.
Plus, if anyone remembers, they had a little sub-plot about the Seperatist's building the Death Star. If they continue that, I can't imagine it being bad.

The new scenes wouldn't bother me all that much if he had made the original cuts available on DVD. But he chose to change history instead. It's the principle that bothers me most. I'd much rather have some high quality official versions of the original films than my bootlegs, but according to Lucas that'll never happen.
As for the new scenes, they're pretty terrible. Greedo shooting first (don't care how much fanboys b*tch and moan about it, it's still a bad idea and a major cop-out), the dance sequence (I'll take three seconds of puppets to that cartoonish CGI crap anyday), Luke screaming like a little girl even thought he CHOSE to fall into the shaft (heard that got taken out of the new DVDs, still a bad idea on Lucas' part), the rediculous CGI Jabba (heard that got fixed, shoulda done it right the first time, though), putting Hayden in as a ghost, Adding Gungans tothe celebration at the end of Jedi (NOBODY liked the Gungans, why can't he figure that out?), the bit with the droid punching the little floating droid at Mos Eisly (really, who thought that was HILARIOUS?), etc.
There were plenty of welcomed changes (making Cloud City more open, adding the shockwave to the exploding Death Star, removing all English letters and numbers, etc) but he bogged it down with way too much unwelcome CGI that was just plain BAD.
Again, I wouldn't be so bugged by the changes had he at made the original cuts accessible. That's why Speilberg's "walky talkies" don't bother me, because he included the original cut of ET on the DVD. It's the principle, not me being picky. By changing history and pretending like the original cuts never existed, Lucas is completely disrespecting not only the original directors of Empire and Jedi, but all the people who worked hard to create the special effects that Lucas loathes to much. He's a disrespectful person who lost all film-making talent a decade ago. All he does now is take good films, make them worse, pretend like the originals never existed and then protest the optional colorization of the Three Stooges.

My biggest problem that I already am taking a guess at is the CGI. It'll look fake, I know it. The CGI Yoda really bugged me in AotC. I was watching this documentary thing about how they were trying to make him look like the original puppet did by the way he moves and his facial expressions and stuff and I was thinking "Well, if you want him to look that way, why don't you just use a freakin' puppet!" And in some cases it's the CGI that ruined some scenes in the original trilogy. Jabba the Hutt in A New Hope COULD have been cool, but no, it looked fake 'cause of the CGI. The mouths in the Sarlaac pit COULD have been cool, but looked fake. I dunno. I'd just much rather have somewhat limited puppets/animatronics/miniatures than CGI any day since it's really there.
Leo656
01-15-2005, 12:06 AM
Eh, I think everyone overreacts to the prequels. They aren't as good as the originals, but I don't think anybody expected them to be, and if they did, they were setting themselves up for disappointment. I like 'em for what they are and just look at them as part of a larger story. The CGI effects don't bug me much, since if we're not looking at things through rose-colored glasses, a lot of the effects in the originals looked fake, too, for their own reasons.
The DVDs, yeah, it would've been great to have the originals on DVD, but the changes don't bother me so much. Hayden as Anakin in "Jedi" seems like a slap in the face kinda, but it doesn't make me wanna kill or anything. I like how they fixed all the footage to make it all "match", like Luke and the Rancor they fixed up, and they "aged" the new footage to make it fit better with what they originally shot. Visually it really is the best-looking version of the films, but at least having the original scenes as an option would have been cool.
But anyway, I think Episode III is gonna rule.
raphael90
01-15-2005, 12:11 AM
I saw the Specials Editions first, so I cannot watch the originals...it just bothers me. I'm SO glad they fixed that Rancor scene...WHY Lucas didn't fix that before I wonder. As for Hayden replacing in Jedi...ehhh, can't say I LIKE it but it offers a fresh perspective on just who Anakin was BEFORE he became Darth Vader...although Lucas has messed my mind up again. He seems to want to make Darth Vader out to be its own entity that took over Anakin. Yes he was seduced by the dark side, but I liked to look on it as rather Anakin's personality behind the mask the whole time.
I'm excited to see Revenge even if it only lives up to the last two. Yes Phantom and Clones were Lucas' annoying attempt at putting as much CG animation as possible (good grief, we know you were frustrated at limited technology in the first three but still...enough). I like both movies well enough simply because I like the overall stories. But yes the acting is awful save maybe Ewan McGregor's parts. But I have looked forward to this third movie for years, seeing Anakin's fall and whatnot. I'll love it when I finally see him in Darth Vader's outfit...will just be too cool.
Krangfan
01-15-2005, 08:15 AM
On Hayden as Anakin's ghost in Return of the Jedi, one of the reasons that I think it's so bad is because how is Luke supposed to know who that is? He never saw his father as a younger person...

EPISODE III
REVENGE OF THE SITH
War! The Republic is crumbling
under attacks by the ruthless
Sith Lord, Count Dooku.
There are heroes on both sides.
Evil is everywhere.
In a stunning move, the
fiendish droid leader, General
Grievous, has swept into the
Republic capital and kidnapped
Chancellor Palpatine, leader of
the Galactic Senate.
As the Separatist Droid Army
attempts to flee the besieged
capital with their valuable
hostage, two Jedi Knights lead
a desperate mission to rescue the
captive Chancellor...

I am glad this is the last Star Wars movie.The prequel trilogy has sucked.This one will probably to.
You deserve a warning for all the crap you keep posting, knock it off.
General Grevious looks amazing, the Clone Wars show gave us an impressive preview of what he's capable of, but it's the live action version that will really show how great he can look.

^^I agree. I am very anxious to hear what his voice will sound like.

Will they explain where Grievous came from? Or does he just decide to be mean one day?

I hope they explain why he can use light sabres.

George Lucas knew he needed to invent another bad character to die in a lightsaber battle so this is it
Although truthfully I believe he started out in the novels that take place between the films. At least that's what I hear and have read on the subject

Well Grevious is supposed to be some kind of life form underneath that droid exterior, so maybe he was force sensative when he had a real body, which could possibly explain why he can use Lightsabers.

Grevious is voiced by Bender from Futurama.

Only in the "Clone Wars" show. I don't think DiMaggio will voice him in the movie too.

Does someone need special abilities to be able to use a Light Sabre? o_O
I always thought it was just a 'regular' weapon.
Then again, I don't know that much about Star Wars.

I'm sure they will in the Expanded Universe that Lucas doesn't give a **** about.

Probably. The expanded universe is better that the films.

Oh yeah, the expanded universe which had to kill off Anakin Skywalker (Leia's child) because Lucas did'nt want two Anakins in his universe.

It would be cool if the voice was Bender. He wouldn't be soo mean now, would he?

Well he is a battle droid.With 4 light lasers.I think he is a gimmick like darth Maul was.Dath Maul was overhyped 6 years ago.I want to see how Anakin becomes angry evil darth Vader myself.How the empire becomes so evil.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. As they say, history repeats itself.

I know what you are getting at, and there is a pattern regarding new material and fandom. But this trilogy didn't have a film with an open agenda as could be argued was in the last jedi.
Basically while I don't entirely disagree with you, I'm erring more on that your post was a bit cliche versus having complete merit given the actual movie content and lack of coherent story in the new trilogy. Nothing in the prequel trilogy was a built-in dialog trigger or lever of action against a generation of fans. But I get it.
The new films don't suck because of a political agenda, they suck because they suck. The political agenda just sticks out because they suck. The prequels had their problems and everyone expected Ep3 to suck but it ended up being very well liked. So, no, I don't think history is repeating itself, EpI and II were hated. Ep7 was loved 8 was hated and now this is hated. It's almost a reverse Prequel Trilogy reactions.
Me personally, I hated Ep3 but had loved 1 and 2.
