I've never been so excited for a movie to be released in my life. Not even TPM compares to how giddy I feel now.
10 more freakin days :|

I actually agree with this statement. I was WAY more excited for the Ep1 teaser premiere than Ep3 teaser premiere... but as far as movies go, I am definitely more excited for Ep3. Ep1 was still just way too unknown. I was "relatively" spoiler free. Still knew much of the movie, but just through basic outlines. Maybe that is why I like TPM.. I went in with low expectations just because I knew George could and would throw a ton of curveballs at us.Thaedolus said:
But this movie.. especially now with all of the positive early reviews and being much more spoiled and knowing what is in store for us.
Yeah, I am definitely more hyped for this than I was for Ep1.

I think episode 3 will be a decent movie, but after watching my room mate play the video game and watching some clips from the movie, I still think the dialouge will horrible and the CG really crappy. Oh well.

Heh, I've having a hard time getting actual work done as I continue to replay that trailer again and again. It's nice to actually feel excited as an old Star Wars fan again. Hopefully the movie does not dissapoint.

You're right, get exicted over stuff is ghey! In fact, I plan on sitting through all of E3 with merely a stoic expression and the phrase "Looks meh." at ready and assigned to a keyboard shortcut. That's what men do!!1
Im in the same boat....If my wife can't get the next day off (the day of the 19th ) then a midnight viewing is all but out of the cards.Tabris said:Argh. My problem right now is I'm having problems convincing my friends/gf to go to the midnight showing on wednesday.
They just don't understand that I can't wait 10-12 hours before the first mantinee! I'm just too excited. Work and normal sleeping patterns be damned!
I can confirm tears at my press screening, as well.
The best part, for me, of RotS (other than what I outlined in a brief impressions post earlier) is it's ability to stick with you afterward. The only way to really recover from seeing Revenge of the Sith is to pop in A New Hope and at least see some balance restored, because Revenge of the Sith is a gut-wrenching, heartbreaking film. Today, a handful of days after seeing the movie, I still think about it, the story of Anakin Skywalker, the seduction of Anakin Skywalker, how George set the tone of each film to coincide with a new generation of fans and allowed those movies to grow up with those young fans.
A 12 year old during Episode 1 is now 18. In some ways, we see Anakin grow up with this audience. From a kid in Jake Lloyd, to a whiny Hayden Christensen in Episode II, to the grown up tones of Episode III -- this is the movie that the first generation of Star Wars fans have been waiting for, and this is a movie the new generation of Star Wars fans may not be ready for.
It is their Empire Strikes Back.

slightly off topic- but Lucas says the live action show will be 100 episodes at 1 hour each. *faints*

Does that mean a definite arc in the show? If there is a finite direction of the show and genuine conclusion, I'm 100% more interested.
I just don't want Star Trek (no offense to Star Trek at all, I'd just rather Star Wars not be self-contained episodes per-se).
Regarding the television show:
My guess would be that the show will focus heavily on the rise of the rebellion and the dealings of the Imperial Senate that Leia was a part of (though I do not think we will see her or her upbringing too much, I do think the show will focus on Alderaan as Lucas would be wise to give that planet significant depth so that it's elimination in A New Hope is that much more powerful) in addition to the rise of the Empire to levels it exists in Episode IV.
I wouldn't bet on seeing too much Jedi action, though I'd hope I am wrong.

Does anybody else think Yoda's pretty damn different as far as personality in the OT? It seemed like even in episode I Lucas was still trying to get a hold of who he was, and he perfected it in episode II. But in the OT he's damn near hysterical when we meet him. I just couldn't see the reverred and wise one become that.
I know he was messing with him, but he never seemed to come back to himself at any point. Rewatched the original trilogy within the past week or so, maybe only the 2nd or 3rd time seeing the whole original trilogy in my life. Somehow I avoided it until maybe 5 years back. Probably just looking for small inconsistencies in the series, while trying to imagine it fully complete I guess.

What I don't get is these things...
Vader knew Luke was his son, how did he not know Leia was his daughter. I know he may not have known it was twins, but how was he to know male or female.
Luke and Leia were hidden from the Emperor and Vader. Why would they put him on Tatooine with the one person with ties to anakin?
If Padme dies in ep. 3, how does Leia remember her mother?

I've never followed the storyline too closely but can somebody explain this:
why does dooku/tyranus tell obi-wan about the "dark side" ruling the senate? He's supposed to be Palpatine's right hand man, but he blows the lid on his on biggest secret like it was no big deal

He didn't think Obi WOn could escape the situation, and I think Dooku was trying to see if Obi Won would turn.
DrForester said:
The first one.... the force?
Obi-wan was in hiding, but kept an eye on Luke. It wasn't coincidence, or anyone's plan but Obi-wan's. Kenobi waited for him to come of age. Still in a way fighting a lifelong and even longer struggle with Anakin.
One the last, the force? She says it's just the faintest of memories. Very faint. And who knows, maybe she doesn't die. NOBODY RESPOND TO THAT!

Vader thinks Padme died along with the baby. He didn't know he had a son until Luke Skywalker blew up the Death Star.
DrForester said:
Not sure of this, but I've heard Leia is held up to Padme and they look at each other sharing a connection in the Force. Luke's eyes are closed so he never sees Padme.
Mooreberg said:
Because the Sith apprentice always wants to knock out his master and take his place. Same reason why Vader tried to get Luke in ROTJ.

Hidden in plain sight maybe? Vader has no more ties to the planet of his childhood and since he turned to the dark side, he's like a different person altogether. I guess...
