All I want to find out is if Jar Jar finally meets the business end of a light saber!!!
AAAAAAHHhhhhhh, now I’ll have to go see 4,5 and 6 Duh!
Thanks a lot[}:)]
Same here too.
I want to see it as soon as the lines thin down a bit[8D].
The secret is out: Anakin turns to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader[}:)]!
For me the science fiction event of the year was Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy. The casting could not have been better IMHO. There was to much material for one movie but I did enjoy it.
Star Wars 3 will have to wait until there is someone else in the family interested in seeing it.
Me’s a thinks I would join the darkside too if Jar Jar Binks ranted on and on and on and on. I hope the emperor zaps her for the republic/empire.
Jar Jar only has a few seconds of screen time and no dialoge…
i thought this would be the last sacred place where that stupid space movie would show up but leave it to the geeks to spread the star wars boredum like wildfire.last time i looked there were no prptotypical doings on the death star. so to those who post about to post on that movie save it for your friends on the street waiting for the next one to come out, oh thats right there arnt any more coming out. i do belive in mircles.
You haven’t see the last of Star Wars yet. There talking about a TV mini series now.

I’m the “geek” who posted this originally. I was remined of a conversation I had with friend a few years back. He took his son to a club layout show. I asked him what he thought. His response was, “There were a bunch of train GEEKS there!”

I enjoyed it. I think it was the best of the new ones. MOst things got tied up fairly well.
Over all I give it a 75 out of a 100.
I agree completely!
It made a great degue into the three earlier/later episodes. I did catch one minor inconsistency, but it didn’t make any difference.
As I recall from an article when the first movie (episode 4) came out, the complete story was to span nine episodes. I’d like to see seven, eight and nine produced.
My wife was working Wed. night into Thurs morning, so I couldn’t see it at midnight. I saw the 10:30 a.m. showing on Thursday at a digital theater (absolutely crystal clear pic - no film scratches, flaws, etc!).
I enjoyed it. It was dark, it was alot to take in, I found myself with my hands clenched and my jaw clenched during some of the harder-to-watch parts.
For those of you wondering whether to take your kids… I took my 8, 9, 10, 10 and 12 year olds to see it on Fri. afternoon. The two younger ones, I took aside and told them - there are a few scary parts in this movie, but remember, it’s all make-believe. It’s only a movie.
My 8-yr old is just slightly developmentally disabled - she’s probably emotionally more like a 6 yr old.
None of the kids had any problems. They had some questions later about the plot (it’s a bit complicated for them), and they said some parts “made them sad, and made their eyes water”, but they all enjoyed it.
Bottom line - it depends on your child. One of my 10 yr olds - had the movie come out when Ep 2 did, I would not have taken her. We were getting a lot of “I’m scared” at bedtime after watching fairly tame fare on TV (such as “Charmed” or “Beetlejuice”).
It was a lot of good eye-candy. It tied up many loose ends, it made many, MANY connections to Ep IV. I’ll have to see it a few more times to really absorb it.

I haven’t seen it yet. Trying to hold out until the dvd. I’ll probably talk my wife into
a “date” to go see it. [;)] I must be a double geek,because I like sci-fi, and trains
as well ! And proud of it ! Been a geek all my life in both categories. And this
thread is a nice change of pace ![:P][:)]
NJfrieght (which should be spelled NJfreight). I’m glad to see something other than trains talked about for a change on this forum… If you don’t like it go talk to Bergie.
I saw Episode III last night and thought it was a good movie-except that the action was a little too fast in comparison with the earlier movies, which I’m told is done because of the faster minds of the video game generation.
Darth trainluver1…
Saw it on opening night, not the midnight show, and the crowds weren’t to bad, but I don’t live in a big city either.
Enjoyed it a lot, much better then episodes 1 and 2, which I liked okay, but episode III really is excellent.

Saw it today. As a big Star Wars fan, I must say it’s best movie of them all, but I wasn’t prepared for how incredably violent and sad it was. I would reccomend that children under 10 not see this movie.
Why should kids under 10 not see it 4884bigboy ?..
When I was a kid we saw anything we wanted to no matter how violent it was or otherswise.
Why is it that kids now a days are handled as if they’re so fragile like they’re mentally and emotionally made of glass.
My generation never did the things these kids do today like shoot up schools and so forth, so why is it the kids do today ?. It’s not because of movies like Star Wars. I think it’s because they’re overly stressed out by modern day parents, teachers and so forth pushing them too hard to be something that maybe they weren’t meant to be as if there’s some kind of new standard in order to be a human being in this world now a days. It’s totally stupid!..

This comment should be considered “ground Zero”! Well said Brothaslide!!!
MR’s are by nature an eclectic bunch and if you can’t accept that then what are you doing here?

Trainluver,
Sorry dude, but I disagree with you regarding kids today. I have to work with them! Teachers working them too hard??? I WISH! Japan…yes. China…yes. BUt the U.S? Come on! Many students talk of spending 3 to 5 hours on the Playstation after getting home from school. Teachers are being forced to turn up the pressure now after decades of decline. Our kids are no longer earth’s “Cream of the crop”.
I’ve done the old trick of asking high school kids to find Chicago on a map. Wasn’t even funny!
What I’ve seen is quite the opposite of what you’re saying. Many parents no longer discipline kids when they act up, nor teach them manners. Today some of the movies that hollywood puts out are incredibly bloody and sick. Kids eating up this stuff eventually become desensitized to it! When troubled, some kids will supress that safety valve that we call a “conscience” and act out. Do you remember Columbine?? Liberalized–let them do what they want—parenting often results in rude, nasty, self-centered kids. Period. Today’s flesh and violent peddling gansta hip-hop and gothic music sure doesn’t encourage good upbringing, does it?
Just my opinion but that’s why kids under 10 shouldn’t see violent and gory films. If they do then parents need to be doing a lot of talking and guiding before and after the film. I still remember years ago talking to an 8 year old kid at a party of a family friend. He had just seen a gory R-rated movie and thought it was absolutely cool that one of the characters was sliced open with his guts spilling out. His mother thought it was cool too!
Sorry to sound down guys, but recently an Islamic extremist rep made a statement on tv that made me angry, but I think he may have been on to something. He said:
Terrorists don’t really need to attack the U.S, it is already rotting from the inside out."
