General Grievous and his guards.

 

[btrboyev]

I was just going to post this, but yeah that shot looks awesome...i love the designs of grevous and his guards.

 

[Dead]

Is that a still from the Clone Wars cartoon? CGi way too shitty for a movie.


But then again how could it be from the cartoon, Gendy TARRTTATATATATAfucksvosky could never aspire to such shit art design (less shit than his shit though, for sure)

 

[jett]

They look like cartoon characters.

 

[SD-Ness]

Though General Grievous looks cool, he has the potential of being a macarena in the movie. I'm skeptic as to whether he's just another sci-fi gimmick Lucas is adding into his epic.

 

[Manabanana]

That looks HORRIBLE! I hope that's some fan-made spoof or something.

Ripped right from the official site, sorry.

I'm indifferent right now. Most still shots of the CGI in the prequels look somewhat cheap, but it comes together well enough on film. At this point I'm more concerned with what the character does in the film than how he looks.

Spoiler

If he seriously fights with three or four lightsabers at a time, I'm just not sure how it'll be pulled off without looking silly, especially after the rather silly Yoda fight in AOTC.

Besides that, I'm also worried that yet another villain will just take away from the core stuff that I care more about.

I really don't have high hopes for this movie. The trailer didn't help any. I will definitely be seeing Episode III when it hits theaters, but I'm really not expecting much at this point.

Not trying to hate or anything, it's just that after being let down by both Episode I and Episode II, I just can't get excited for this film. I gave Lucas another chance with Episode II, and he dropped the ball there, too.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

The character designs are really cool, but I agree that these look really too CG-ey. Hopefully there's still some touchup to be done on this.

EDIT: Star Destroyers out the window make me smile.

 

[Claus]

Gendy can do Star Wars better than Lucas.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Grievous looked really cool in the initial head shots...

...and then they revealed the stupid-looking body.

 

[Schmo Florez]

What's with the cape?


Homo.

 

[N Coward Parody]

This movie is going to be a fucking trainwreck.

[Prince of Space]

Anyone wanna explain where this thing comes from? It's obvious he exists solely to kill the Jedi quickly, but what's his story?

And yeah, he looks retarded and VERY out of place.

 

[Zaptruder]

It's a good thing Lucas wasn't able to achieve his original vision when he released the first star wars...

because the shit he's putting out now, no one would have wanted to watch. Bastard.

 

[duderon]

Looks like one of the alien dudes from The Fifth Element.

 

[BojTrek]

Star Wars looks to cartoony for me... the CGI is very weak when compared to Lord of the Rings...

The R2D2 in the preview looks terrible...

 

[levious]

creating a new bad guy to kill jedi instead of Anakin/Vader is the lamest thing about Episode III.

 

[DrForester]

Wasn't Bobba Fett supposed to have taken out some of the Jedi as well?


You know, before Lucas screwed up and made him only like 30 years old once Episode IV comes arround.

 

[Ramirez]

The R2D2 in the preview looks terrible...

Am I missing something...since when was R2D2 CG?

 

[cybamerc]

Ramirez:

Ep. II

 

[Willco]

Funniest Star Wars thing from TheForce.Net ever...

 

[shantyman]

He is not CG in every scene, as a matter of fact in most scenes he is not.

 

[shantyman]

Also, everyone complains about the CG R2D2 shot, but noe one complains about the CG Chewie. That looks much more obvious to me.

 

[Willco]

MY GAWD I CAN'T TELL WHAT'S REAL OR FAKE ANYMORE

 

[Escape Goat]

MY GAWD I CAN'T TELL WHAT'S REAL OR FAKE ANYMORE

The line between reality and fantasy is BLURRED!

 

[belgurdo]

I guess this has been designated as today's "HAY GUYS LET'S WHINE ABOUT STAR WARS" thread....

...anyway, what is he? A droid?

 

[jecclr2003]

From whats ben ut out so far Greivious isn't a droid... hes a creature with and exoskelton...


That's about all I know about him.

 

[SteveMeister]

Here's what the official site has to say about Grievous.

Note that some may consider the material there to be spoilers.

:lol Someone should submit this at http://www.sorryeverybody.com/

 

[XS+]

Meh. Judging by his stature, I guess he's going to act as much like a monkey as he did in the Cartoon Network series. I was hoping for a more serious take on the character in Ep.3, but this is GL we're talking about.

I don't mind the CG.

 

[DSN2K]

 

[Mike Works]

What's with the cape?


Homo.

"Oh be nice"

 

[The Bookerman]

Looks less fugly when it's enlarged.

 

[Flynn]

General Grievous and his guards.

Soon to be a Lego playset.

 

[evil ways]

He comes from the place in Lucas's mind that feels the need to include yet another flash in the pan, disposable villain for the zealots to froth about.

 

[capslock]

I think he looks pretty cool, and this is coming from a known Star Wars hater.

 

[Axsider]

Sam Reimi should make the new Star Wars Episodes!

 

[Flynn]

Sam Reimi should make the new Star Wars Episodes!

Rumor has it that Lucas met with Woo, Fincher and Jonze (among other directors) before deciding to do the job himself.

This promo pic looks good:
