I've only listened to 3 tracks, but that's enough for me to say that it sounds much, much more inspired than EP2's POS soundtrack. I'm actually liking this stuff. :p

This is about a 70 some minute CD, not including the fact that about 12 of those minutes are the end credits. This particular movie is about 140 some minutes, and if the previous ones are any judge, is scored for the vast majority of the film, probably around 80% or so. This means that of the ~110 minutes, we've heard about 60 minutes of that; a little more than half. Also, these CD's are not direct representations of what happens; there's shuffling about to make them more concert suite-ish.

As for the absence of DOTF, the Imperial March and the Emperor's Theme, don't worry. Post Notes about the scoring process make it known that these themes (the latter two particularly) show up quite a bit. I personally want Anakin's theme to show up so we see the transition from the innocence of that theme to the full-blown Imperial March theme of Vader's.

The non-thematic elements on this soundtrack are great. Anakin's Dream, Anakin's Betrayal, Padme's Rumination (good God, where did THIS one come from? It's great) and The Immolation Scene... you can almost see Obi-Wan as this music is playing screaming at Anakin,
"You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them. It was you who would bring balance to the Force, not leave it in Darkness. You were my brother Anakin. I loved you."
It works very well IMO.

EDIT: Also, the PT stuff that's in here works very well. The beginning to "Anakin's Dream" is probably the best version of Across the Stars we've gotten thus far, and the end of Palpatine's Teachings has a great version of the Arrival to Coruscant theme from Menace.

Well it's official. PG-13 GET!

Sith’ zapped with PG-13*rating

Posted Saturday, April 09, 2005

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, all “Star Wars” movies received a PG rating.

Not anymore.

“Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith” has been given a PG-13 rating by the Motion Picture Association of America’s Classification and Ratings Administration.

“Revenge” has received the PG-13 for “sci-fi violence and some intense images.” (One could ask, on behalf of befuddled parents, exactly what “intense images” actually means. Mostly, it means the MPAA’s ratings explanations have gotten progressively muddled during the past few years.)

The new rating means “Revenge of the Sith” contains material that “may be inappropriate for children under 13.”

Director/writer George Lucas earlier hinted his movie would be the most intense of the six “Star Wars” chapters.

“It’s not like the old ‘Star Wars,’ ” Lucas told the Associated Press. “This one’s a bit more emotional.”

The previous five “Star Wars” films all received PG ratings. Lucas’ new, more emotional episode opens nationwide May 19.

well not really...yet
"General Grievous" from the OST sounds like it was taken directly from Williams underrated Lost World score. Pretty good ;P

Haha, I just listened to the entire soundtrack and the last half of Anakin's Dark Deeds is ripped off entirely from GATTACA.

Yeah it sounded a bit familiar.

Still a cool track. Not as good as Anakin's Betrayal though.

Is the CD out in stores? I'll get it as soon as it's out... Anyone has linky in the meantime... ?

About the PG-13. Quite frankly seeing as this Star Wars is much darker than the previous ones... you gotta wonder how it didn't get rated R. I mean The Matrix movies all were rated R and violence never got farther than somone burned severely in the eyes. Now this one we have limbs flying and severed heads et al.

I know I'm responding to a post over a month old, but you're completely wrong: Anakin is simply older, he's like 45-50 in RotJ, of course he won't be in top physical condition anymore.

The fact that he was able to dispose of so many jedi by himself shows how powerful he was.

Yeah, I guess that will need to be explained in this movie. If Anakin is such a badass force-wielding mofo, how in the hell did Obi-Wan manage to whoop his ass? I mean, I'm looking at these pictures and all I see is how badly Anakin got punked by Old Ben. I figure Sidious seduced the wrong bitch and shoulda tried turning Obi-Wan instead. :lol

Well, actually ,it's already known
Anakin gets very, very, very arrogant. Obi Wan gets the height advantage over Anakin. He tells Anakin not to jump, but Anakin jumps, and Obi-Wan cuts him down: he slices off both legs, his left arm, and then pushes Anakin into the lava. Owned

The script sequence.

OBI-WAN: It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground.
ANAKIN: You underestimate my power!
OBI-WAN: Don't try it.

ANAKIN follows, and OBI-WAN cuts his young apprentice at the knees, then cuts off his left arm in the blink of an eye. ANAKIN tumbles down the embankment and rolls to a stop near the edge of the lava.

ANAKIN struggles to pull himself up the embankment with his mechanical hand. His thin leather glove has been burned off. He keeps sliding down in the black sand.

OBI-WAN: (continuing) . . . You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them. It was you who would bring balance to the Force, not leave it in Darkness.

OBI-WAN picks up Anakin's light saber and begins to walk away. He stops and looks back.

ANAKIN: I hate you!
OBI-WAN: You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you.

ANAKIN'S clothing blows into the lava river and ignites. Suddenly ANAKIN bursts into flames and starts SCREAMING.

Well, that scene actually sounds pretty damn impressive if pulled off correctly.
Still, I wonder how Obi-Wan managed to get the upper ground on Anakin in the first place...

I can't wait to see this movie (Hoping not to be disappointed like I was with the other two movies). :D

Anakin's 21 in Revenge of the Sith. Obi-Wan is around 30. Obi-Wan was defeating Sith Lords (i.e. Darth Maul) before Anakin even picked up a lightsaber for the first time. He may not be as attuned to the Force as Anakin is, but he also a) has a lot more experience with a lightsaber, b) taught Anakin EVERYTHING he knows about fighting with a lightsaber, and c) doesn't let his emotions get the better of him.

WHO DEY!?
I read the "making of" book and there is a line in the script now apparently where Anakin taunts Obi Wan, saying
he was nicknamed "The Negotiator" because he does not know how to fight.

Obi Wan is simply too much of a cold, detached badass, almost like a terminator. He lies, he cheats, he plays with people's minds against their will. When Padme falls into the sand on AOTC he's like "Fuck that, keep the ship going and don't lose that old man in front of us". Anakin or even Luke would be whining and crying about his friends, how he's gotta save them.

Hell, even as an old man he was a badass, so much that 2 guys started some shit with him on a bar and he cut them down.

"Why do I sense we've picked up yet another pathetic life-form?"

...

Awesome.
I also like it where they're bartering for a trip to Aalderan sans Imperial entanglements and Han's like..

"thats the real trick isn't it. And it's gonna cost you a lil somthin somthin extra. Ten K. All in advance "

Lukes whining and getting delusions of grandieur, and Obi wan jus smiles and throws back

"Fuck that noise! I'll give you two thousand now plus FIFTEEN when we get to Aalderan... BITCH!"


Ben rules! Got a feeling hes peaked in his terminator like detached bad-assness though. I forsee he will become a great emotional wreck in this new movie.

New footage has leaked, that they showed at Celebration 3; I'm downloading it right now, so I don't know whether it's any good or not.

Check the regular places since I don't think linking to torrents is allowed.

This is probably the last big spoiler-ish thing that we'll get before release. :(

It's been a fun ride.

Uh... wow. The quality of the video is crap, and there's people's heads in the way MST3K style, but wow.

So much going on; Grievous looks really good, the opening space battle's gonna be insane, the Mace/Sidious, Sidious/Yoda fights, Order 66 when all shit breaks loose, and the DUEL... just insane. Everything about this one looks fantastic. Unless there's absolutely shitty acting, worse than any of the prequel movies, it could be one of the best.

Meh, not convinced yet.

You could put together a montage of special effects/action sequences from Attack of the Clones or The Phantom Menace and they would've looked great too.

I've read the script and I'm still a bit iffy on it.

Isn't Kevin Smith working on the Star Wars TV show though?

I doubt he'll give the movie a bad review regardless of how it turns out. Ditto for Spielberg.

Kevin Smith will give it a good review because he didn't hate TPM and AOTC.

His TPM Review:
http://www.viewaskew.com/press/menace.html

An interview with him someone dug up on TFN:
iW: What do you think of the title to the new Star Wars, "Attack of the Clones"?

Smith: I think folks will just wind up calling it 'Episode Two'.

iW: How many times did you see "Episode I"?

Smith: Twice in the theaters.

iW: And what did you think of it?

Smith: I dug it. But then, I didn't go in thinking the flick would invoke the same warm feelings the first three did when I was a kid. I mean, I'm an adult now.

iW: Have you seen the version on the net in which some fans altered the film to change Jar Jar's voice and add subtitles?

Smith: No. What a strange use of free time.
Click to expand...

And his AOTC comments from Cinescape:
Appearing in the July/August issue of FILM COMMENT, Smith was lush, if profane, with his plaudits for CLONES, and even revealed moments of the film ‘haunted’ him and built new levels of pathos into the original STAR WARS trilogy.


“There's something bittersweet about the fall of Darth Vader now,” Smith says in the issue, “that hadn't existed before CLONES: had his mother simply died of old age, the guy might never have developed that extreme case of asthma he seems to suffer from in STAR WARS, EMPIRE, and RETURN OF THE JEDI… Which leads to the most haunting moment of CLONES for me: when Anakin breaks down to his puppy love, Amidala, and confesses that he butchered that no-good bunch of sand-eating bandage wearers with his hi-tech Zippo. This scene really resonated with me, because Amidala wears this expression that very quietly says, ‘Holy Christ I'm in love with a human time-bomb.’ The sad, hopeless look on her face upon learning of his murder spree brought to mind that moment in JEDI when Luke asked Leia if she rememered what her (and his) mother was like. Leia (in what may be Carrie Fisher's finest hour in the original trilogy) reminisced that her mother always seemed sad. Here, nearly 20 years later, we get to see what Leia was talking about.”


He even went as far as to praise one of the most maligned aspects of the film, the romance between Anakin and Amidala.


“And that's what worked best for me about the Anakin arc in CLONES: the doomed love affair of Anakin and Amidala. Most of the critics dismissed this as the flick's most ham-fistedly handled aspect, but I thought it played out tragically and beautifully. High marks to both Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman, because I completely bought their relationship. He wants her desperately without really even knowing why, as do all teenage boys when they find who they assume is their one-true in high school. And even though she knows this guy is poison, she can't help but fall for him - the little slave-boy that grew up to be a conflicted, impetuous hat tank who insists everyone's giving him a raw deal. In high school, the really hot chicks always went for the massive ****-ups, and eventually wound up married to them. But this marriage doesn't end in small town affairs and divorce; this marriage ends with the girl scattering her kids across the galaxy to save them from their father, who by that point is more machine than man."

I wanna see a review from some one who was frosty on Ep. I/II, preferably someone with no ties to Lucas or Lucasfilm.

But that shouldn't be too long now.

Oh and you will want to see the digital screenings. The digital print will have
Dagobah
while the film print will not.

If you don't have a digital screen in your area, the DVD will be based on the digital version.

Kind of funny, cause I agree with this. I bought into the relationship also.

I tend not to mention it, cause like EVERYONE disagrees with me on this.

Those were my favorite scenes in AOTC (besides the Anakin freak-out). I couldn't care about the Yoda scene or the huge clone/droid/jedi battles.
