Its Always More Fun to Go See the Big Movie on the BIG SCREEN! Going with Friends is Always Great too (Unless you have someone in your Group Who Won't Shut Up Thru-Out the Movie...

I Hate Spending all that Money for My Ticket, Only to Have the Show Ruined by Some Jerk Talking at the Screen (Hey, Jack Ass!!: We Can't Hear the Movie Over YOU!!)

Sometimes I will Wait Until the Week after the Movie Has Opened & Go to an Early Matinee During the Week... Works Really Great While School is Still in Session, and Most Other People Are Still at Work.

"NOOOO!!!"--Luke Skywalker (A New Hope,The Empire Strikes Back & Return of The Jedi)

"NOOOO!!!"--Anakin Skywalker (The Clone Wars)

"NO!"--Obi Wan Kenobi (Phantom Menace)

Anyone Besides Me Ever Notice That Most of the Really Awesome Lightsabre Duels Seem to Be Fought Near, or in a Reactor Room???

I've Been Running Mozilla Firefox Right From the Very Beginning They Started Beta Testing it. It Rocks!!

"Luke, If You Only Knew the Power Of The Dark Side... [and We Get Full Dental Coverage Too]" Darth Vader

Luke: Ben, why did you Lie to me?

Obi-Wan: Luke, You'll find that some of the Very Truths you Hold Dear Are Only True From a Certain Point of View. (What he was actually Thinking: Look Kid, its Not Like I Told you your Old Man Was a Delivery Driver for Dominoes)

So as Not to Offend Anyone Out there... Here are Some Actual Quotes:

"Would it Help if I Got Out & Pushed?"--Princess Leia
"It MIGHT!!"--Han Solo

After Watching all the Star Wars Movies, I've Come to this Conclussion: You Can't Take Obi- Wan into a Bar Without Him Slicing Off Someone's Arm with a Lightsabre.

"Always Two There Are... One Master & One Apperentice"--Master Yoda

"Anakin!, I NEED You; I Can't Take Take Dukko Alone"--Obi- Wan

"Hmm... Begun Have the Clone Wars..."--Master Yoda

"Well Young Skywalker, We Shall Be Montoring Your Progress With Great Interest..."--Palipatine

And Finally Here is One I Came Up With For Jarr Jarr Binx (Applies to the Revenge of the Sith Movie) :What Wuz Mez Sa Thinking??? Voting to GIVE Palipatine Absolute Power?! (As he Snaps himself in the Face)

So, with all this excitement around here for the new movie, what were you guys' opinions of the last two. I have several friends who were so dissappointed that they aren't looking forward to ROTS at all.

I really didn't care for TPM myself. Like most everbody else I thought it lacked most of the charm of the original trilogy. Looking back at it, I understand better what Lucas was going for and appreciate that he was creating a movie targeted at kids the age of young Anakin. But as someone who grew up on Star Wars, I selfishly felt like the movies should be targeted at me.

But I really enjoyed AOTC. It seemed to be much broader and enjoyable for a wider range of viewers. There was still the silly antics for kids, but there was also a much darker element for adults to follow. Assuming that what Lucas says is true and ROTS follows that same arc, then this movie should be the most interesting for us who grew up on Star Wars but aren't kids anymore.

I thought Phantom Menace was alright, but it felt more like a footnote than an actual episode of the movie series.

Darth Maul was a character that they should have kept around up until ROTS. I am also one of the few who actually likes Jar Jar Binks. Personally, I would LOVE to see SW fans that hate him, get riled by keeping him alive in ROTS....or at least keeping his fate unknown. (But, if he gets bumped off, I ain't gonna cry over it.)

Attack of the Clones I thought was a much better movie...especially in terms of sheer action. The ground battle on Geonosis was incredible. The lightsaber battle between Yoda and Dooku was worth the price of admission, but it should've been a little longer. Oh well....at least we'll get to see Kermit's father in another lightsaber battle in ROTS. And Natalie Portman has one sexy l'il bottom.

Respectfully,
Martok2112

I liked TPM........

I liked jar Jar too, but not the very first time I saw him.....i thought it was a bit distracting. But after the first time it was fine and I really saw where George was going with it. I just watched it again sunday night and i have to say......i like it. I am very excited about Epi III

Yeah, I Like Good 'Ole Jar Jar Too!!

Guess You Didn't Catch My Quote I Created For Jar Jar for ROTS :" Whaot Wuz Me Sa Tanking?! Voting to Give Palpatine Absolute POWER!!"

Looking Back Upon Phantom Menace, it Was Jar Jar that Had the "Proxy" Vote for Padmay... Voting In Favor Of Creating an Army of the Republic...

Well, I'm debating on whether I should try to go see Revenge of the Sith Tomorrow (Thursday), or wait Until Next Weekend & go With My Cousin. See, Back when we were Younger, we'd always go see a New Movie together; its Really More Fun when you go to see a Great Movie with Your Friends.

I Think Maybe I'll go give it a Screening... and then go see it again. Yes, thats What I Will Do!!

Thanks for Listening to My Talking/Typing to Myself.

"When Last We Met, You Were the Master...and I the Apprentice, Now I Am the Master"--Darth Vader

"Only a Master of Evil, Darth"--Obi-Wan Kenobi

"If You Strike Me Down, I Shall Become More Powerful than You Can Imagine"--Obi-Wan Kenobi

Haveke,
I think you are right Qui-Gon forsaw his death. Even when Anakin says "Jedi can't die" and Qui-Gon says "I wish that were so" I think it was interesting on both of their parts.

We watch AOTC last night to be fully ready for III and it was fun..........I pick up some more little tidbits(every time I watch SW movies) I loved Obi-Wan in this movie......he had some great little comedy lines esp "Anakin, why do I feel you are going to be the death of me"........whoa.
