If you only knew the power of the dark side of the road. Tufty never told you what happened to your father.
He told me enough. He told me you killed him. You told him not to look left and right.
No. I am your father.
Shocked, Alvin looks at Green Cross Code Man in utter disbelief.
No. No. That's not true! That's kerrazy!
Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
No! No! No!
Alvin. You can destroy the congestion charge. Emperor Livingstone has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the South Circular as father and son. Come with me. It is the only way.
A calm comes over Alvin, and he makes a decision. In the next instant he steps off the pavement and into the road. The Dark Lord looks over the road and closes a gloved fist as a milk float clatters into Alvin and drags the young jedi out of sight.
There's always been something wrong with her mouth (I'll avoid the obvious 'my dicks not in it' gag here - and yet still manage to use it!) something that looks as though her gums and lips are joined together that bothers me.

Blimey, I'd believe that kid grew up to be the Dark Sith Lord why didn't Lucas just stick with him - he could have dragged the franchise out for a few more years that way and there would have been no need for a lava fight he already needs the big black hat by the look of it...

Did somebody say on a previous page/different thread that they never hated Star Wars until these new films? I can't be bothered to read those pages to find out. Because if they did, then that's exactly how I feel on the subject. I mean, I liked Star Wars as much as the next (sane) kid but remaking the old movies and then making 3 more has kind of ruined the whole thing. I will be glad when May 19 is long long gone and we can forget about all this silliness.

After not contributing very much with my last comment, I will now contribute something Star Wars related.
Everyone should go and somehow acquire a copy of anything by j-something middleoftheroaders Guitar Vader. I particularly recommend the almost certainly intentionally Engrish All the people envy new my guitar.
It's not that they're necessarily good. It's just that you may or may not find it preferable to watching the new Star Wars movie. But, yeah, if it weren't for Star Wars, they wouldn't have been called Guitar Vader and we all would have been less likely to have heard of them. Unless they had been called like The Indianna Jones Family or something. So yay for Star Wars!

By Tatooine! I am something of a SW fan, but in the words of Han Solo, "these guys must really be desperate."
quote:Life After Revenge of the Sith
Posted By Scott on May 16, 2005 As I walked out of a screening of Revenge of the Sith, I was left with mixed emotions. I was excited to have just seen the final prequel, but I was also sad that it was finally all over. I was left thinking, “Now what?” And as I thought about it, I realized there’s quite a bit for Star Wars fans to look forward to. So as you walk out of the theater and your eyes adjust to the light again, here are a few things to remind you that the Force will be with you….always:
- Revenge of the Sith DVD (Fall 2005) – Around October or November you can look forward to getting ROTS on DVD. It will have all sorts of deleted scenes on it and all the great “making of” features we’ve seen in the past. Look for yet another big Burger King promotion to coincide with this.
- Droids and Ewoks Series DVDs (2006?) – Sure, they already released Droids and Ewoks on DVD, but these weren’t the entire series. LFL hinted that DVDs of the entire series were in the works, but no release date was mentioned. Some time in 2006 might be a logical time to release them.
- Computer Animated Clone Wars Cartoons (2006?) – Some time late in 2006 we might be able to expect the first of the new Star Wars TV series we’ve been hearing about. Let’s not forget toys and merchandise associated with this, too.
- Star Wars Saga DVDs (2007?) – We all know they’re going to release all six Star Wars movies in one massive DVD package. The question is when will it take place and what will be on it? I’m sure Lucas will tinker with all the films again for this release. Look for all the vintage “making of” shows as well as other goodies not released before. Start saving pennies now.
- Star Wars Live Action Series (2007?) – With fans like Kevin Smith on board to contribute, Lucas looks like he’s on the right path for this already.
- Star Wars – 3-D (Unknown?) – Lucas has shown a strong commitment towards putting all six Star Wars movies back on the big screen in 3-D, so not only will old fans get to enjoy them in a new way, but young kids will get a chance to seem them the way they were meant to be seen – on the big screen. I’m sure the 3-D effects will dazzle even jaded Star Wars fans.
- Books and Comics (Ongoing) – There’s lots of stuff to look forward to in the books and comics. You’ve got James Luceno's novel set between Episodes 3 and 4 - Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader. You can probably expect books and comics featuring the TV series characters in the future, too.
- Toys and Specialty Items (Ongoing) – Not only can you continue to expect more toys from the movies, but you can probably expect more toys from the animated and live action TV series, too. Not only that, but Gentle Giant has barely even started putting out mini-busts associated with Revenge of the Sith. (Can’t wait for a General Grievous bust!)
- Video Games (Ongoing) - LucasArts has been using outside developers to produce its most recent games, and we expect this trend to continue. The games have recently centered around Star Wars, and there's now plenty of opportunities to expand that universe.
So as you can see, there’s still a lot of life in the Star Wars franchise. There are still spoiler to look forward to, adventures to keep fans entertained, and more. It doesn’t appear that Star Wars will go into carbon freeze mode like it did between Return of the Jedi and the Special Editions.
I have highlighted in bold the saddest bits and wish someone else would comment on them, because reading that just tired me out. This guy is like a real-life version of that film reviewer from the Onion -- Jackie something? Ben will know.
Item! As I walked out of a screening of Revenge of the Sith, I was left with mixed emotions. Natalie Portman's pregnancy was well-disguised in most shots, but couldn't George have used some of that Computer-Generation Imagery to hide it better? I'm "expecting" we'll see another little Portman running around soon... my money's on June. I'm sure Natalie can regain her figure by the time she shoots V for Vengeance.

I was impressed overall, I'd say 80% of it was 9/10 while the other 20% was 2/10.
spillers:
General Grievous was utterly pointless I thought, and the time spent chasing him could have been better used expanding on Palpatine's revelation of his Sith nature, which was a bit rushed. But the death of the Jedi and Anakin's fall were well done, as was the fight between him and Obi-wan.
But Hayden should never have been allowed near Darth Vader's suit...he's too skinny, and teen angst and Big Darth don't mix.

That's a time weighted mean of 7.6 out of ten. Was it really that good? Go and listen to Guitar Vader. 90% of their stuff is 3/10 but 10% is about 9/10.

quote:Bryan: Now you've touched on the big question, master. Which is, was this whole prequel thing a gigantic waste of time? The 16-year interregnum between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace was a time of peace in the Galactic Republic. I barely thought about Star Wars. OK, not quite true. I bought three Star Wars video games. I read at least five novels, the final of which was called The Courtship of Princess Leia, about which I shall say no more. I saw the original trilogy countless times on videotape and at least twice in the theater. But given the early-1980s hysteria, it wasn't not much. Then 1999 comes along, and we get all psyched up, studying the trailers like the Zapruder film and salivating over every bit Lucas unleashes on the Internet. The first two movies were fairly wretched. And even though Revenge of the Sith was decent—decent—I can't help but feel I've sorta wasted six years of my life on this crap. A more frightening thought: If the new films mar the original trilogy, it means we wasted three decades of our lives on this crap.

Not that I'm endorsing illegal downloads or anything of the sort.
Bollocks ! Lucas has enough money he don't need my cinema ticket, I'll watch the 'workprint' (with counters) to form an opinion and if it's as bad as episodes one and two I'll wait till it's on DVD and hire it to watch on Femkes dads home cinema in a month or 3..

Just booked a ticket - work has slowed down, and I have nothing to do until tomorrow now, so I'm gonna head down to the picture house, have a coffee, do the su doku and wait and see how shit it really is. As for paying, well, it's a work expense, so I don't mind going to the cinema at all.

So what?
I really don't get teh justifications for piracy. They all seem pretty lame to me. It isn't anyone's right to watch a movie or listen to a piece of music. I hope the films companies sue each and every one of you thieves!

Piracy should go unpunished because it obviously sticks in the craw of puffed-up, spoiled, over-privileged milksops who idle their time away on the backs of others. It irritates people whose idea of achievement is having an erection. It is troubling to vapid, soulless parasites who swan around wondering why there isn't someone scattering rose-petals beneath their feet.
