I just watched the Episode III trailer with teh l33t captioning...

Oh... what pain it was to keep myself from laughing so I don't wake up my sleeping roommate! Personal favorite lines were "Stop TK'ing, you f*g!!1111!!!" and "ROFL".

God... that made my day.

I just hope that what's-his-face that plays adult Anakin took some acting lessons in the few years it's been since Ep. II. He was atrocious in that. I've got a feeling that Ep III's gonna be awesome, though.

His name is Hayden Christensen, and I think he did a good job in ep. I and II.

He did a crap job in Ep. II, and he wasn't in Ep. I. But yes, he was a much better Anakin than that brat of a kid.

He was the worst actor I've ever seen. Seriously. He ruined Anakin for me, and thats all there is to it. The part was done horribly and his trying to simulate emotions allows my friends and I to make fun of him via Mimic for hours.

No love for Hayden up in here, eh?

Oh snap, of course he wasn't in episode one.... Anakin was just a kid. Duh.

Whoever said that was the worst child actor ever, though, I ask you this... did you see the remake or The Shining, with Rebecca DeMornay? That kid sucked ass in that role. He looked like a Disney mole.

I didn't watch the remake of The Shining, but I did watch Jingle All the Way, an interview iwth the "actor," a making of video, and the Racer video games. Horrible, just horrible. He's just as horrible in Jingle All the Way as he was in Phantom Menace.

I love that flash.

Christenson was pretty wooden in Episode 2, but you gotta give him a little credit: they could've done MUCH worse (hard as it is to believe). I mean, really... they could've hired X-Pac or something.

My son looked at me like I was crazy when I put him to bed last night and started chanting "im... you father. im your father. i'm... your father. i'm your father.".

From what I've seen thus far in teasres around the net and whatnot, Hayden comes into his own this time around, though I still say he did well in Ep.II. Ewan McGregor, though, is still the man in these new flicks.

On Star Wars boards everywhere, the new questions now are mostly surrounding General Grievous. It's pretty much known that he's

I do not know if this applies to other areas of the country or world but yesterday tickets went on sale for the midnight showing of the movie on opening day (or I guess morning). I was going to get them but I had to work. Did anyone get them or plans to?

In case you're in the Northern California area, you can enter to win tickets to the charity showing on May 13th in Modesto, CA. I didn't have the funds to drop $150 (or $250 for that matter) on Star Wars.

I entered 5 times (once for me, and my mom, dad, sister, and niece) for a better chance. I made everyone promise that they would bring me if they won.

From what I can tell, tickets have been on sale for about a week or two already. There are reservations signs all over one of the theatres down here. Pretty good prices too, from what I can tell.

Life goes on...

I got tickets to the 12:01 am showing for Star Wars , and I am defienetly looking forward to seeing it, who here on the site is going to see it?

I... am not. I suspect I'm the only one.

No, not the only one, just in the minority.

I'm gonna go see it, but only 'cause I'm one of the extremely few people that likes ST and SW, including episodes one and two and ST5. ^-^;;

Seeing it with a bunch of buddies first day, not a 12:01 though like you. I'm not that kind of fan. After (sigh) Episode II, I'm really hoping this one is a lot better, and from the preview I've seen... it should be a good watch.

Although, on the night of my prom, everyone in my limo went to see Spider-Man 2 at 12:01 that night. Still in full prom attire .

Edit: Well despite what I said I got an email from my friend... seeing it at the 12:01 showing first day... thankfully I have the next day off school to sleep in .

Yeah, I am. I though about going to the 12:01 showing, but then I was like. I need sleep 'cuz of finals and that would definitely hinder my ability to sleep. So, May 20th sounds good.

I'm not gonna watch it either. Probably gonna rent it when it comes out on DVD someday when I'll be bored. Star Wars is overrated. The Hitchiker's Guide is where it's at, yo!

By the way, has anyone heard about the group of 130-some Star Wars fans who sat around outside a theater for 40 days only to learn it wasn't going to be shown there, and are now protesting? With all due respect, people that stupid who take 40 days away from their studies/job (probably failing/losing them in the process) to wait for a movie to come out at a theater where the first two episodes showed (even when it won't come out there) deserve a good bullet between the eyes. The gene pool won't clean itself out fast enough.

Josh already had to close a new SW III thread earlier.

Yes, I'll be seeing it.

--------------------

I had an old signature. Now I've changed it.

I'm going to see it. The trailer makes it seem like this one might not suck.

I already bought tickets for the 12:01 a.m. showing. I can't wait.

SPEKKIO: "GRRR...That was most embarrassing!"

I've seen all of the movies, despite the fact that I ain't a real die-hard fan, so I might as well see Episode III. If nothing else, I'm lookin' forward to seein' Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader.

I can't wait for it! I'm not a big fan either, but it just looks great. I'm gonna rent Episode II in a few days and rewatch it because I haven't seen it since I saw it originally in theaters.

I think I've seen one Star Wars film before, and I'm not a huge fan. I'm not sure why. Despite that, I'll end up being dragged along with friends, and going for the cinema nachos.

There's no movie theater in my city ( dammed undeveloped country's centralism...) but my friends and I are going to get together to watch all the movies in one day ( from Ep. I to VI ) the day of the premier of Ep. III.

A quick suggestion for the mods, merge the two topics (This one and the link Elena gave.). I am looking forward to seeing the movie, I heard it was really good though.

Golly, Gambling Cat, thanks. I hadn't thought of that.

I wasn't going to bother seeing it in theatres, because it's just too expensive. But a friend a little ways upstate invited us out for next Friday night, and he's going to pick up the tickets, so why the heck not.
