Get it while it's up! A boatload of SW:Episode 3 stills *Much Spoilage Ensues*

To bring this a bit back more to the Ep III topic...I thought you guys might like to see this production image.

And if you'd like, I can dig out some posters(Clone Trooper, Mace, Yoda, a couple Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, and a couple Grievous), too.

I'd like to see more.

Well, its two old men fighting, so its not going to be crazy fast like these. As for Empire, Luke barely knew what he was doing and that WAS an awesome fight. Of all the duels in the OT, maybe RotJ should have been faster...but even then, the slower style fit better. Luke was never trained like Anakin/Obi-Wan/etc, and Vader was old and mechanical by then.

On a completely different topic, I really want to get some images of the Grievous fight. Everything else is leaking EXCEPT that...

Of all the fights I have seen, I still like the one in RotJ the best. The music, etc. is the best there is. Speed isn't everything.

No, but there is something to be said about choreography/skill.

Just as how the entire dog fight at the end of ANH was overhauled, greatly improving the drama and action of the story, overhauled duels would serve the same purpose.

I'm just not a big fan of retroactively re-imaging films. I've watched the theatrical releases back to back with the special editions a couple of times and even the "best" of the reworked scenes don't improve the films for me.

At most I would be happy with cleaned up versions of the original films...removing the matting lines & damage to the masters etc but leaving the films otherwise alone.

FWIW there is actually somebody out there working on doing that right now, taking the cleaned up images from the new DVDs, removing all of the new material & splicing in the original scenes where there is a difference to create (for me) the best of both worlds.

Hopefully if that project ever comes to fruition the final product will make it's way onto the net.

What else has he been in since Star Wars? Other than voice acting, I think everything he's done went straight to video. I'm convinced that some actors, like Hammil, need stronger directing in order to shine. He did a very good job in Empire, was so-so in Jedi (he and Carrie Fisher both sucked big ones when they were chatting about their relationship on the Endoran moon), and wasn't bad in Hope (largely because everything was sort of hammed up in that film). Has he been in anything else...?

There were a couple of roles in which Hammil shined, The Big Red One a WWII film in which he played a sensitive soldier and Midnight Ride where he plays an escaped mental patient. In both films Hammill was very good unfortunately his bright moments are few and far between.

FWIW an argument can be made that he would have had more opportunities if he hadn't been in the car accident before the filming of ESB.

Mark Hamill was the villain in a Swedish spymovie with Peter Stormare as the title role of Hamilton and with Lena Olin as his American wife. Mark Hamill was splendid and delivered one line that will live on forever:

"Swedish Intelligence? That's a contradiction in terms!"

He got killed in the end, of course.

Knowing what we know of both Stormare's and Hamill's well-known roles, he probably died hand-first to foot-last.

Hamill was also in a sci-fi B-movie Slipstream where his performance, at least, wasn't bad. He was also in Corvette Summer, and the computer game Wing Commander. I guess if I wasn't so lazy, I could just look him up on imdb and see everything he's been in.

Ugh - Slipstream may be the worst movie I have ever seen. It's not Hamill's fault, by any stretch of the imagination...but in total, it can be considered nothing greater than a waste of film.

It made 2 hellish hours seem like an eternity! An eternity!

Wow! I had no idea just much voicework he's done.
