i was really let down after the last movie. and letting it fester for three years didnt help much.
nice to know that the secondfilm is good.
do you know if Luca directed this one? In the original series, he directed and produced the first starwars (ep 4) and then gave up the job to someone else. that was part of the reason taht ep 5 and 6 were so great. When Lucas picked up ep 1- it was the same as ep 4- lacking innovation and creativity
I was hoping that he would see that he has vision, but lack some directing skills- and give up that to someone who is more qualified.
But yeah- from the trailers and the reviews- it sounds like it will be a smash-
but then again- with a story like that- how can you mes it up?

Episode II was written and directed by Lucas. He did, however, hire a co-writer to tighten up the script a bit. I can't remember his name at the moment, though...

Excellent, innovative new weapons never seen before in any of the flicks.
Complex, multi-layered characters making difficult choices.
Brand new expansive environments.
Tons of new species of non-humans that are amazing to see.
Combat, combat, combat.
Sounds like an advertisement for a computer game.

The scope of the movie is overwhelming at times; Mr. Lucas gives us so much to look at that it's occasionally difficult to follow the action. But in a good way.
This is what I thought when I saw one of the more action-packed trailers.
But it sounds promising. Some of my coworkers are putting the pressure on me to see it opening day. My resolve wavers....

I read the novel on the weekend and, based on that and the shorts, think that movie will be extremely good. I think it will feel a lot more like Empire Strikes Back than either New Hope, Return of the Koala Bears or Episode I.
I will also add that the novel left me really wanting to see the next movie: there are a few plot cliffhangers that I really look forward to seeing resolved
Anyway, if a novel written by everyone's favourite author can convince a diehard cynic like me, there is hope....

Ah go for it! It can't be worse than Mortal Kombat Annihilation, I still rue the day I let myself be talked into seeing that, and to think I considered those people friends.
Does anyone here go to any other SW message boards? They may be better than this one to write stuff at... And how is it that the spiderman thread got more replies than AOTC?

ROTFLMAO!! I usually don't post on the "I love Star Wars/ I hate star wars" threads, but this time I just had to. This is the best "delusions of grandeur" statement I've seen in a long time.
[Walks off, still chuckling to himself and imagining Lucas looking up from a table covered in cash from AOTC's opening week and saying, "Darn! Rinndalir gave me the finger! Woe is me!"]

If you want to be a drone, go right ahead. No, Mr. Lucas won't miss my $7, or the $7 of my RL friends who are also boycotting opening week, or the money of any of my internet friends who are either joining me or doing this independently of me. I don't EXPECT it to. That's not the point - the REAL POINT is the only vote I have as a consumer is my $, and I'm going to use it regardless of whether anyone notices or cares.
I'd like to invite anyone who feels the same to join me.
