Ha ha. I'm laughing at you people who bought all that guff about how it was going to be "darker".

Read it and weep! I'm serious. George wants us to weep.

"I describe it as a 'Titanic' in space. It's a real tearjerker, and it will be received in a way that none of us can expect," he told theater owners at the ShoWest convention."
This is making me very nervous. Meessa no likey. Theessa a bombad sign.
Titanic in Space..... Oh the irony George, the irony...... or if you're in a Brando mood........ The Horror, The Horror!

Does this mean that Billy Zane is going to play the Emporer?
Now, instead of Obi Wan saying "In my experience, there's no such thing as luck," he can flash a blaster and say "I make my own luck."
I hope Samuel L. Jackson gets the "I'm the king of the world!" line. Or Yoda.
So after putting up with the horror of the "Sound of Music" scene in AotC, we'll get a "boat bo"w scene with Portman spreading her arms as Christensen holds her steady? :barf:
"Long ago, far, far away wherever you are..."
You guys are really missing the point of the comparison.
Clearly, it will be a movie that makes tons of money, stir up a huge fan base and then be completely impervious to any real critical negativity.
Just like Titanic. :D
Of course if you take the comparisons too far, things start to get a little creepy. It would be like Leo, in an act of self sacrifice, descends down into the water only to resurface as a cyborg Hitler a few years later to unleash a reign of terror upon Europe and the rest of the world.
That would have been way, way better, actually.
And win a boatload of oscars.Originally Posted by Funkman
Admittedly, thats probably where the comparison breaks down.And win a boatload of oscars.
Can we get Uwe Boll to direct it?
Well, now he just admits it's a disaster.Originally Posted by George Lucas
We'll be crying. Aside from that, George has thus far utterly failed to make me feel anything he'd've liked me to in the new trilogy.Originally Posted by George Lucas
"So if it sucks, it's not really my fault! See?"Originally Posted by George Lucas
Lucas scraps the John William's soundtrack and replaces it with a Celine Dions compliation.
What's happening here may be that Lucas is laboring under the delusion that we care about Anakin and feel terrible about his slide into darkness, whereas I think most people just want to see Anakin finally become the badass villain we know he's destined to be.
And we wanted to see Darth Vader kill all the Jedi, not General fucking Grevious, a digital creation that only came about because of George's fixation with computer animation.Originally Posted by MattKeil
"Titanic in space", good grief.
Does this mean Amidala will be topless at some point?
Yeah, but she'll be pregnant. I guess, if you're into that ...
It's kind of funny because you know it's going to be crap going in, so all this is just a bunch of ridiculous PR noise. It's turd polishing at its finest.
I suppose it depends on the trimester. But I think I can live with that.Originally Posted by Duality
I think the twist will come when Watto tells Anakin the truth about his father.
(Hint: It's a Toydarian)
Ha! So that's what the long nose is for. Midichlorian injections.
