The ONE and ONLY Episode III Thread!

[leith]

Been playing the new game and the footage included in it was worth the price of the game in itself. If the movie plays out like this game we are in for one hell of a ride!!!!!!!!!

[davepeck]

got the game, but can\'t play it til i see the movie..

but i highly recommend getting the Episode III Soundtrack, which comes with a bonus DVD: Star Wars: A Musical Journey.

Created especially to accompany the CD release, the thrilling 70-minute DVD features 16 brand-new music videos set to selections from all six of John Williams\' unforgettable Star Wars film scores and has been designed around a timeline that will take the viewer chronologically through the entire saga. Each movement is introduced by actor Ian McDiarmid (who plays Senator Palpatine in the films) and features a spectacular montage of images, complete with excerpts of the original dialogue and sound effects, set to Williams\' legendary music which has been newly remixed and remastered in 5.1 surround sound. Williams\' principal theme from the new score, entitled "Battle of the Heroes," will be featured in a music video created by Lucasfilm.

The soundtrack packaging will also include liner notes from George Lucas plus an exclusive fold-out poster featuring a montage of images from the film.

[antbach]

Wow Dave, hitting the midnight show and the matinee? That\'s pretty impressive, or pretty geeky, you be the judge.

Can we umm, say, rename this thread to the anticipation thread and then open another one for discussion about the actual movie? Just a thought, cos people like me have every intention on seeing it, just not for another 2 weeks at least and I would rather not have the whole movie in .info transcript form if possible. Just an idea

[Jim Cobb]

12:01 Ep3
2:30 Leave theater listening to Breakfast
3:00 Eat Breakfast
4:30 Get home and practice guitar until
6:00 Go back to work and drink mad red bull to stay alive.

[High RPM]

Eight hours to go.......

My work bought out a theater(fuck load of tixs) anyone for my work can go for free....I\'m there12:00am

Can we umm, say, rename this thread to the anticipation thread and then open another one for discussion about the actual movie?

No can-do buckaroo.  There\'s no "Chase" and "Food For Thought" for movies.  It\'s the ONE AND ONLY Eppy III Thread.  From midnight tonight until you see it, you are out of the proverbial loop!  Besides, what else is there to say about anticipation once the movie is showing?

EPPY III IN 7 HOURS BABY!  The "mighty" Jedis are about to get FUCKED UP for the first time in human history.  I want death, I want doom, I want disaster.  I want dead Jedis.  I want the alliance getting wrecked by their own army.  I want Yoda giving up hope.  I want Dooku to light up Jarjar Binks like a chirstmas tree.  I want Padme couped up as a worthless slave on Tattoine with her 2 babies and a deadbeat dad.  And speaking of dad, I want Vader to wreck Mace Windu and any other Jedi in his path.  I want murder, despair, and hopelessness in the alliance.  I want the title "Eppy IV: A New Hope" to be justified.

[skalnbyc]

I\'m surprised Deblock hasn\'t returned for the exclusive participation in this thread.  Star Wars and Springsteen seem to be the only points of negotiation with that dude.

Here we go people, the post-viewing portion of the thread!

I\'m not here to recap the plot, but if you haven\'t seen it you might not want to read this.  Quick opinions:

1.  Easily, far and away, without question the best of the new eppys.  Possibly better than or equal to Eppy 6, possibly equal to 4 and 5.  Will have to wait a few months and let it sink in before determining that.  But the fact that we\'re even mentioning it is :thumbsup:

2.  We knew it was coming, but this changes the perspective on Vader so much.  All those people walking out of the theater in the 70s thinking he was the most heinous villain ever, and it turns out he\'s a tragic hero.  Unbelievable.

3.  Good job tying up the loose ends.  Spent a lot of time on the important stuff (Anakin\'s demise, Jedi vs Senate rift), while quickly tying up some of the less important stuff. (Like how Obiwan learns immortality.)  I feel quite satisfied in how everything ties together.

4.  Two crucial moments that weren\'t totally convincing: When Anakin swears himself to Palpatine and when Padme leaves him.  Decent enough lead-up to these events, but not all there in the moment.

5.  Action scenes left little to be desired.

6.  Would have liked to have seen Jarjar get pummeled by Dooku or Anakin or someone way too powerful for him.

7.  Loved the mood in the last hour.  Death, destruction, angst, anguish, hopelessness.  Kinda like The Wall.  And I got to see Jedis get minced.  I am quite satisfied!            


:vader:

Eppy III the song would be TOTALLY appropriate tonight!  Not only is tonight the debut of the "other" Eppy III, but a bunch of people skipped Timmy to see it.  I wouldn\'t hold it against him at all if he debuted it tonight.  Perfect place for it.
