Episode III Trailer

There's a trailer for Revenge Of The Sith on starwars.com. It looks really good, but then again so did the trailers for the other 2 movies.

Hopefully this one's so action packed that there won't be any time for rolling-in-the-grass romance or Jar Jar Binks shenanigans.

Apparently George Lucas has turned into a whiny little bitch! I just learned that the trailer on starwars.com has been locked down, so unless you're a paying member of Hyperspace (which can be had for a mere $39.95), all the good content is denied.

Go to this site instead, courtesy of TheForce.net.

I agree with you, Jar-Jar and Star Wars love seens need to hit the cutting room floor BEFORE we see it in the theaters........I will loan you my portable DVD player when you go and see Episode 3 armed with a few different choices in case the mistakes from the previous movies are made again............

Let's face it, since Jedi the films have been going steadily downhill. Granted, I have a soft spot for Jedi and tend to overlook the Ewoks...er, I mean flaws. But a lot of people just can't get around that.

Episode I still leaves a lot to be desired. For one, the battledriods just aren't as imposing as the old Stormtroopers. And what the hell is with all the "Roger-roger" crap? Who knew the Old Republic could be threateded by robotic Keystone Cops?

But what really killed Episode I was Jar-Jar and the kid. I don't want to watch a 9 year old Darth Vader, where's the fun in that? It's not like he's going to choke someone or throw a lightsaber around. He's a freakin' kid! And though no one really complained about Watto, there's just nothing interesting in scenes where the kid is interacting with Watto or Jar-Jar.

I've found that now I have no problems watching Episode 1 all the way through, even with Jar-Jar acting like a Stooge the whole time.

Episode II is another matter entirely. I've found it's fun to watch on DVD, every time Anakin shows up with Padme on Naboo, I just skip to the next scene and usually get Obi-Wan doing something cool. I stop skipping when Anakin and Padme are being carted into the arena, the one scene where they manage to convey some emotion in their romance, and it's all good.

Of course the big battle at the end is still a hopeless jumble, since everyone's equipment looks the same. Oh, you mean all the droid stuff is supposed to look both ungainly and wacky? Well, that clears things up considerably!

Hopefully Episode III is a smashing success, this will in some way redeem the other two films. But knowing Lucas, I'm expecting Jar-Jar and an Ewok to rescue Padme's kids.

You really need to "vent" some anger about those cute and cuddly Ewoks, so I propose that we set you up with a weopon of your choice and let you go "nuts" on a nice small shooting range and eradicate about 12 of the little furry pcs of crap!

I think you will have better luck hitting these "rodents" then the battlion of storm troopers in Jedi!
