I love sci fi in general and space operas in particular, but I'm not really a big Star Wars fan. Will see it in the theatre but after the crowds die down a bit.

If the other one didn't work, try this.
Pretty funny.

Here's an un-official trailer for Episode III
Hopefully the link still works.....

That was pretty funny stuff. Thanks for sharing.

3:00am, here's my report. a few observations about the new star wars movie.
- Most importantly, It didn't suck
- The only tedious part of the movie was the dialogue between anakin and padame
- the CGI sequences were really impressive
- anakin's conversion to darth vader was believable and convincing, his behavior as darth vader wasn't as believable
- darth vader is one evil son of a bitch
- Padame's death at the end of the movie moistened the eyes of 500 hardcore male star wars fans, who quickly attempted to squelch them.
- two people (audience members) dressed up as darth vader, one as obewan. they had light-saber fights before the show started, and everyone in the theatre was into it. they were chanting "O-BE-WAN! O-BE-WAN!" I was trying to be cool, reading my backpacker magazine.
- i was, indeed, the only person in there with a backpacker magazine
- i was one of the only people who showed up alone. I was also one of the only people who wore a wedding ring.
- when 7 screenings of star wars gets out at the same time, the mens room line backs up pretty bad right when the movies end. interestingly, there was no line for the ladies room.
- like episode 2, yoda kicks some ass in this movie
- virtually no dialogue with jar-jar (sadly, jar-jar doesn't die)
- i appreciated the lead-ins to episode 4
.obe wan handing baby luke to his uncle (where he stayed to 'watch over the child)
.said uncle (and wife) looking at the two suns set in exactly the same way luke did in a famous scene in episode 4
.yoda teaching obe wan to communicate with dead jedis before he went into exile
.a few scenes in the exact same hallway where you first see darth vader in episode 4
.the emporer's transformation from an old man to a really ugly wrinkley old man
.darth vader getting the helmet and black costume, and the revelation of why he wears the helmet and black costume
.first appearance of chewbacca and his wookie friends
there's probably a lot more, but i'm getting too tired to remember.
definitely best of the 3 in the modern series.. better than jedi, not better than hope or empire. so out of the six, it's the 3rd best.

Science fiction... it is sort of cool if the math is correct and there isn't some jackass running around in a latex mask.
Star Wars - well it was pretty good for a 70's flick and the second one got better, but then came the cutsie Ewoks. They were bad enough, but when Episode One (or the fourth film or however you want to quantify it) came out and half of it was watching a future version of CSPAN.... "well cripes too bad I didn't sneak in some beer" flashed thru my mind. Seriously: who wants to watch political debates in the Senate even if they are on nifty floating thangs?

It would have been cooler if you were reading Playboy instead of Backpacker. :)

That was funny when Kramer was supposed to film that movie, and he got Jerry to do it for him...

I went at midnight. Wish i hadn't seen all the spoilers that were floating around the internet a couple months back. kind of ruined it for me. still, it's a great, great flick. imo it's better then empire. so cool when you hear vaders voice for the first time. i really hope lucas makes the last three films. i know he said he wouldn't, but i hope he changes his mind.

I'm not a die -hard, but I know that there were a total of 9 episodes - the original 3, the 3 prequels and 3 sequels
