Boomer07 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Here are a bunch of pics from the upcoming Star Wars movie, along w/ a commentary from someone who has apparantley seen it. Caution: Lot's of spoilers. Don't click this if you want to be suprised when the movie comes out. Side note: the load time was a bit long on my DSL. Cable and above should be fine. If you still have a dial-up don't even bother. [url="http://www.tpu.fi/~t4jlaaks/ep3/"]Episode III Pics[/url] <edit> Scrolling down will be a spoiler too. Back up.

Guest 34inXXIII Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Impressive. Most impressive. Buyer beware, however. When Boomer says "lots of spoilers", he's not kidding. I visit TheForce.net every day, yet there were quite a few images that even I hadn't seen. I kicked myself 3 years ago for a certain spoiler that I saw more than a month before AOTC came out - Anakin's severed arm - but I just can't pull myself away from any news pertaining to the final movie.

Guest 34inXXIII Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I'd elaborate on that issue, but I think we should beware of spoiling anything for the readers here who are interested in the movie but not as geeked out as we are.

Well, movies rarely suprise me anymore too (6th Sense is the last one I can remember), but I was only like 7 when "A New Hope" came out and like 10 when "Empire" came out. I was totally shocked.

Jason Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I was 9 when I saw it. Didn't see Empire until after Jedi, or I might have figured Leah out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 34inXXIII Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Are movies in generally really suprising anymore? _________________________________________ As for Sidious, I was trying to understand why you suddenly believe that Palpatine is not Sidious. Looking back at those pictures, the following caption doesn't help: "Anakin and Dooku duel as Sidious watches in excitement." Though that is truly Sidious, he is in the form of Chancellor Palpatine in that scene. It is only much later that he reveals his true identity. I was digging through TheForce.net's fact sheet to get some backup on this, but this is all I found: Producer Rick McCallum referring to them both as the same person...'[url="http://www.theforce.net/episode3/jtf/palpatine.asp"]We will definitely see Palpatine/Sidious use an "awesome display of the dark side of the force". - RM[/url]' There is also a slightly more vague comment further down the page that Dooku knows the true identity of Darth Sidious. I wish I had more than that right now, but you were right the first time. Your insight serves you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][post="50621"][/post][/right][/quote] Looking at the page again, you're right, I was right. I think the captions initially threw me when I looked at it the 1st time, changing from Palpatine to Sidious. I saw Episode I w/ my Dad & a buddy of his (both retired), and I remember walking out and mentioning that Palpatine was going to be the Emporer. They looked at me like I had two heads. I told them that Lea even referred to him as Palpatine in the first one (Star Wars/A New Hope). They didn't buy it. I should've had them put money on it.

|Bunghole| Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 "Phantom Menace" and ATOC have failed to really move me in any way, except for the special effects, of course. The first three movies produced had a certain something to them that these new ones lack. Magic? Some type of feel? I can't describe it but somewhere along the way I kinda lost some interest in these movies. They haven't been as...special to me as the other three. Maybe it is because I saw the first three when I was a kid and so much time elapsed before phantom and ATOC were made...but oh well, I still want to see it...

Lucas put a ton of time into the story line and even worked w/ Joseph Cambell to make sure his mythology wasnt screwed up. The first 3 seemed to be his love, the last 3 are his new jaguar.
