yep, when I first learned that Anakin would be 8 years old to start off with, I was disappointed. Adopting kids really softened Lucas and for some reason, they interfered with his writing and story choices. I think it actually was a huge shock that most people hated Episode 1. Thus you get Episode 2 and 3 that try to cater to the fans more, to varying degrees of success. For the record, I love aspects of Episode 1, generally like most of 2 and love 3. I"m not a prequel hater like a lot of fans, but I'm also not going to defend them blindly like some younger star wars fans.

I just wish Lucas had been surrounded by people like Gary Kurtz who would stand up to him. Maybe that's why Lucas shitcanned Kurtz before Jedi went into production? Rick McCallum is a funny guy (watch the dvd of TPM), but he's too much of a yes man. 'yes george sir, whatever you want" is an attitude that seemed far too common around Lucasfilm and ILM the last ten years.

But such as it is, I'm glad we got 3 more Star Wars movies.

I use to hate Star Wars. I think it was because I watched the first 3 when I was like 5 or 6, and really what girl at that age is going to like Star Wars?

My boyfriend is a Star Wars fanatic, so I decided to give Star Wars another chance. I watched Episode 1,2,4,5 and 6 within 2 weeks then saw Episode 3 on opening night. I really liked all of them, but I loved Episode 3, I thought by far that this was the best one. (I even cried in it when Padame died.)

That's what I'm saying. If you guys are THAT picky don't freaking watch science fiction. It's about suspension of disbelief, don't want to suspend your disbelief and instead pick apart the movie to death? Don't watch science fiction.

indiana jones 4 ho ho ho.

I watched Episode 3 yesterday with my brother. I thought it was by far the best of the 3 newer Star Wars movies. Lots of action, great CGI and basically tied all the loose ends together in the story. I just wish this was Episode 1, not 3 as it would have made a far more interesting.

dvd rip is already released. hype

The Lucasfilm people blocked it on torrentspy for "Revenge of the Sith",

the entire Star Wars saga could have been prevented with one of these:

I personally didn't really care for RotJ's Soundtrack. Williams is really hit and miss for me, but after seeing the film and picking up the soundtrack, it's AMAZING.
