yeah thats what i've heard from others who have seen it, although I myself will wait a week or two, just because I don't want to have to wait in line for hours to get in, and have to sit in a packed theatre full of star wars fans having lightsaber battles.

I understand his wanting to go back and change the originals because he wasn't able to create the effects he wanted back in the 70s, but I just think its so wrong. If you don't have the required materials to make a film the way you want, then don't. If you do make it, then accept the way it is and live with it. Imagine if every filmaker started going back and changing their movies just because better technology was invented. I think its pretty lame.

while i've never been a huge star wars fan, i thought episode 3 was decent due to the special effects and such...decent flick for less than $10 matinee price :), but definitely not worth waiting hours in line for~

what do you mean not worth waiting in line. This one was great. I think its was a close second next to Empire. Although the book was way better (it had more detail in it, but all books are like that). It is pretty crazy how a book than came from a screenplay better than the movie from the screenplay. Weird!!!!!!!!
I have two complaints about the movie:
1: Wooden Acting- There could of been a lot more emotion from the characters. Especially Natalie Portman, she forgot how to act in this movie
2: Not enough character & story development- I thought Lucas would have learned from the Lord of the Rings movies that strong character development makes the story that much stronger. This movie moved very fast with out taking time out on the characters like Greivous & Bail Organa. Also, there were a lot of one-liners that were in the book that totally should of been in the movie. it would made the movie very strong. I blame Lucas for this because he has this fixation on having movies no longer than 2 hours and 20 minutes (this one came in at 2 hours and 26 min.) There were even scenes that were in the video game that didnt make the movie! Im not asking to make the movie 3 hours 30 minutes like Return of the King, but at least add an extra 20-30 minutes too it!
All in all though, the movie was great fun and even very sad. Being a huge star wars fan, it hurt me seeing the jedi genocide. it almost put a tear to my eye.

I'm gonna try and go see it the weekend. Heard a funny article on the radio this morn (i'm in rainy UK btw). It said that the film had been leaked all round the net (no change there then!) and the woman said (of ppl who download or share it) something like "you can click but you can't hide"
lmao!
Have still got a set of the original Star Wars bubblegum cards i used to swap in the playground at primary school!, only 1year to wait to have the last episode on DVD.. I'm a big kid!
OMG i can't wait that long and i haven't even seen it yet! (i'm in the UK)
A colleague found this 2day -
Quote:
Of course, the entire film itself was made on a computer. (OK, two computers)
You've all heard how George Lucas delayed production on the prequels because technology couldn't adequately produce the special effects he wanted.
The real reason for the decades-long gap in films is that Lucasfilm had been using computers since the early 1980s for the digital effects, and the computers only finished rendering frames fairly recently. Digital rendering takes time on a bunch of 4.77 MHz machines.
lmao

I too just got back from the movie all I can say is
Quote:
Holy Wookie Crap was that a good movie!!!!!!!!!!
Lucas managed to tie up all loose ends, and watching Yoda battle the evil Palpatine, was worth the price of admission. I highly recommend the movie 9 out of 10 stars, it looses a star because needed a little better scripting.

yup, Yoda was superb, bless him.
i thoroughly enjoyed it, which was tricky as i was in the front row so couldn't see too well plus cinema was packed with irritating eating noises, rustling and had loada annoying fidgety kids next to me. In the end i used the force to concentrate (plus it was calming to know i was around when the episode 4 first came out, unlike these kids, i dunno - kids today lol!) & i was impressed with the film. The only slightly negative thing i would say about (any of) the films is that there are times when the Jedi could use their skills but don't, & either get killed too easily, or just don't avoid harm when they blatantly should. But i guess that would be no fun if they could never be hurt
