Any hope for Revenge of the Sith?

*That Matt Guy* · 01-10-2005, 07:45 AM

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?

**Barkworm** · 01-10-2005, 08:04 AM

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.

*raphael_is_cool* · 01-10-2005, 11:31 AM

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

*DrSpengler* · 01-10-2005, 01:47 PM

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.

*Spitfire* · 01-10-2005, 07:23 PM

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*

Peanut · 01-10-2005, 07:45 PM

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.

Mondo J. Gecko · 01-10-2005, 07:49 PM

...
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!!

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.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 01-10-2005, 08:29 PM

^^What he said.

*Weapon X* · 01-10-2005, 08:59 PM

I'm not big on the new one's, like many of you said the saber duel in Phatom Menace was the best part and I didn't even see attack of the clones. Pretty much just give me the original trilogy any day.

*DrSpengler* · 01-10-2005, 09:11 PM

I'm real grateful I managed to get a high quality bootleg of the original original trilogy. They're DVD copies of the official laserdiscs, so the picture and sound is flawless.

I'm glad I got them, now that I've seen what he did to the original trilogy DVDs. Relieved I didn't waste my money on those.

the Dark Knight · 01-10-2005, 11:14 PM

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!! GAAAHHH!!!

Whoa, man. Sounds like someone knocked over your major award and used up all the glue on purpose.

愛 · 01-11-2005, 12:10 AM

Yeah, Jesus. That was a little much. He may have screwed up, but...damn! Ease off those filthy words.

I still don't see what the big deal is about the couple added things in the DVDs. They hardly make any difference at all. Some people are just way too picky about this sh*t.

The Clerk · 01-11-2005, 02:12 AM

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!!

Chewbacca... what a wookie!*

*song heard from movie clerks

*That Matt Guy* · 01-11-2005, 02:21 AM

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?

Man, that's hilarious!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 01-11-2005, 04:06 AM

BHAHAHAHA, dude, I love that joke!

For Revenge of the Sith, all I want is Darth Vader, dying Jedi, and lots of blood. That'll make me happy. There's no way they can't do the movie without tons of people dying. Give me that, I'm happy.

**Barkworm** · 01-11-2005, 04:45 AM

I doubt that there will be a lot of blood in it. I can't think of any scenes with blood in the Star Wars movies right now.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 01-11-2005, 05:29 AM

Ummm......the first 10 minutes of Empire Strikes Back.

Well, at least some rolling heads and dismembered body parts. Then I'll be happy.
