[Dark Samurai]

NOOO!

The link is broken....

[DarkMaster]

Wow, that was fast, BW already at limit.

You can use this http://www.numbski.net/downloads/sw3trailer.torrent it's a torrent file. Every other link I've found has exceeded BW.

[Acebot44]

I give it two Meh's and a maybe. Still need to see the clone one though.

Here's my hostage. Try not to link to it too much. GameTavern and friends only.

[Joeiss]

Doesn't work for me.

[Typhoid]

Same.


Why does God hate us?!?!


I heard they are playing the whole trailor on Axxess Hollywood...or whatever that show is...and however you spell it.

[thatmariolover]

That was intense! I can't wait to see how he turns evil. That's so cool that he's featured in complete Vader suit too. Deep voice and all.

[Blackmane]

I have a feeling that this one will be good, because it will be more evil. I can't wait to see Obi Wan and Anakin duel. Supposed to be the longest saber duel in the series, and almost up to the speed of the Obi Wan/ Darth Maul duel.

I personally think that Episode 2 might have been great without Hayden Christensen (sp?).

Ah yes, my favorite light sabre duel. :D

Haven't seen the teaser yet, my g/f wants to see it too so I'll wait for her.

well, its just the dialog was so freakin stupid. we cant help but laugh every time we hear some of thoes lines...

"i hate sand...its so course, and it gets everywhere. Not smooth......like you"

i mean come on...

[Blackmane]

Yea, the lines were what killed Episode 2. Lovey times were in Empire strikes Back, but that was a good movie.

If you remember, Luke from the first movie absolutely blew as an actor. He improved a lot in the second and third movie, and I'm hoping Hayden does too.

[Yoda9864]

Mmmmmm.....I think I just filled my pants..... :sneaky: :drool:

[Professor S]

As much as I hate to admit it... that looked really cool.

If they screw this one up, Lucas should just kill himself.

[Crash]

that's a lot of wookies!!!!!!!!!1

[Typhoid]

I think they should either re-make 4,5,6, or make new,later ones.

Star wars is awesome, I love it. Dont get the wrong impression, im not up for dressin up and waiting for 2 months outside...because im not a geek or a nerd.

But I like Star Wars.

well they shoulda left the original 3 alone, and if he wanted to change them he coulda remade them all together.

and he's now giving serious thought to making the last 3. (god help us all...) he originally said way back that he defenently wasnt going to do them.

honestly tho IMO, 7 8 and 9 have a better storyline than 1 2 and 3 anyway. and he could get some of the original actors back to play the parts cuz they're supposed to be older in thoes.

[Joeiss]

Yeah, that would be cool if they made episodes 7,8,9... But I dunno, I like it the way it is, lol.

[DeathsHand]

But I thought the original storyline he had back when there were 9 chapters were screwed with, switched around, and shoved into Return of the Jedi...

Like Leia wasn't supposed to be Luke's sister, it was some other person who wasn't supposed to appear until sometime in chapter 6-9... And the emporer wasn't supposed to make an appearance until the last episode... And now he's already dead... :confused:

they might of had many ideas that they chaged, but he had 9 scripts written long long ago. he orginally was going to do all 9.

the books on all 9 were written long long ago. and theres books inbetween and after and before and everywhere.

7 8 and 9 i thought, had something to do with Leia and Han getting married, having a couple kids, one of which was supposed to turn out to be the first female jedi, but im not sure of that, they might of changed that a long time ago also. lol But i think they kinda start rebuilding the jedi.

*shrugs* i never read the books, so i really dont know what they were about tho. lol. but he didnt cram them into the last one, he still had plans to do them after the original 3.

[Jason1]

Trailer looks okay, dosent look like anything all that new or unexpected yet though...it was very brief...

But about making 7, 8, and 9....That would be cool if he could get some of the old actors to come back, but I doubt he could. I mean I just somehow doubt Hammil and the gang would be up to that...

[Null]

i think he could get ford fairly easily.... i mean he's doing the new indiana jones with ford lol..., but the others would be tougher.

[Joeiss]

7,8,9 would most likely be about Leia and Han's children, who have high midi-chlorian counts (hahah)... and they are apprentices of Luke I think. I think Luke starts up a Jedi school at some point too...

[Ginkasa]

What are you talking about? The book for VII, VIII, and IX were never written. Lucas may have had some ideas for a sequel triolgy, but I doubt he went so far as to write scripts or books for them.

He is also NOT seriously considering doing VII, VIII, or IX in the near future. He has been repeatedly quoted as saying he is seriously opposed to doing so. The only future projects planned for the Star Wars are the normal books and games, and a new live-action TV series. Also, there is a possibility for a full length animated TV series (as opposed to the Clone Wars shorts).

I don't know how people have gotten the idea that Lucas has written the scripts for VII, VIII, or IX or squished them into RotJ or whatever. The only time he's mentioned a sequel trilogy was as a half-joke way back when ESB was being made. Anything after that was all rumors or denials.

Also, Joeiss, that is from the EU books written by people other then George Lucas (Luke starting a Jedi Academy would come specifically from Kevin J. Anderson). George Lucas had very little to do with the story (perhaps none at all; depends).

Although I will admit that the Episode II dialogue blew chunks.


*shrugs and walks away*

[DeathsHand]

I like the ideas I've heard (none from official sources, just ideas from fans) around the net about creating star wars movies every once in awhile that aren't really tied into each other by anything except the star wars universe... Ones that aren't handled by Lucas...

Sorta like Star Wars games I guess... like Kotor coulda been a movie, dark foces, etc... Not exactly those games, but just an example of how characters and time periods could jump around and COMPELLING STORIES OF GOOD VS. EVIL COULD BE TOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111

.......

But Lucas would never let that happen...

yes. and funny how times change isnt it? you might want to look up some more recent info on that. Theres been many articles in the past year saying he is now strongly considering making the final 3.

And there was something else about employee's signing contracts making them unable to talk about episodes 7, 8 and 9

[Ginkasa]

I've also seen several articles pointing to how he's not making the movies. While, yes, the NDA probably means something, it doesn't necessarily mean movies. The sequels could be made made into a TV series or books or whatever. Or George Lucas could have nothing to do with it.


*shrugs and walks away*

[Joeiss]

Next time I go home, I should look for some of my old Star Wars books. There was a trilogy that I read which was absolutely amazing... I totally forget what the books were called though, lol. But on one of the covers, I think there was an old man who was a Sith, and he had a bunch of electricity coming out of him or something... But maybe not, who knows.

Actually.... I think the trilogy I read went inbetween episode 4 and 5.... Because I think it started out with Darth Vader's Tie Fighter spinning out of control, and landing somewhere far away..... Which happened at the end of Episode 4.. But oh well.. I might be totally wrong, haha... Anyways, this book trilogy was great.. Really fun to read, and great characters too.

[Fox 6]

Some of mt favourite Star Wars books : Tales from the Bounty Hunters, Tales from Jabba's Palace, and the whole Bounty Hunter series ( Mandalorian Armor, Slave Ship, Hard Mechandise.) Woot!

[Joeiss]

Yes, the bounty hunter series was great...

And I think the one I am thinking about is the "Kahn" series or something? I dunno..

[Ginkasa]

Heir to the Empire/Thrawn Trilogy. Written by Timothy Zahn. This was the book trilogy that revitalized the EU and began the line of Star Wars books that is continuing today (albeit under a different publisher).

They are considered by many to be the ultimate EU stories. Nearly perfect.

*shrugs and walks away*


Yes! OMG, these books are amazing... And what is EU? lol.. is that a short form for something?

[Ginkasa]

Extended Universe. All the Star Wars stuff that isn't a movie. The books and games and comics and stuff.


*shrugs and walks away*

[Joeiss]

Oh, ok.. I Think they have some extended universe toys too!

[Fox 6]

I got the Episode 1 Monopoly set. Its pretty funny, istead of Boardwalk there is the Jedi temple. You can make it a temple/Hotel.

[Joeiss]

Yeah, I have the regular Star Wars Monopoly.. it is ****ing awesome.

[Typhoid]

I Have Vancouveropoly.

Its awesome.

It was made in like.....95,96....something liek that. Because the Canucks logo is the old one. The Canucks are the free money square.

Its awesome, we should bust out the Vancouveropoly sometime.

[Bube]

I've got the Pokemon Monopoly. :D

It's probably the best version.

And the trailer was nice. Got in the mood.

[Canyarion]

Was I the only one who saw a trailer that ended with
"Episode III: The Rise of the Empire"???? :confused:

Edit: The one I saw was home-made or something :p I now found the real trailer here: http://mfile.akamai.com/12917/wmv/vod.ibsys.com/2004/1104/3891503.200k.wmv

[Joeiss]

Haha, that is funny.

[Yoda9864]

Thrawn Trilogy = best EU story ever hands down. The Thrawn Duology (Spectre of the past/Vision of the Furture) is the second best story. The Bounty Hunter Trilogy was also a very nice plotline.

If he/someone does make a sequel trilogy (which they most likely won't), it should be based on either the Thrawn Trilogy or on the New Jedi Order books

[DeathsHand]

I've read somewhere where George Lucas doesn't 'recognize' EU as part of the movie plotline... Like he won't make movies based on them, and if the books say something that contradict the movie he's like "WUTEVA!" or if a book says something, then he makes a movie that contradicts it he's like "WUTEVA!"...

I think they should start making movies like they do EU stories... Random and jumping all over the timeline, even if they ain't handled by George Lucas... Maybe they'd be better that way... :sneaky:

[Canyarion]

Funny how everybody thought those books are the real sequels... As far as I know, the last trilogy is only in Georges head...

[Xantar]

You know, I thought Hayden Christiansen looked a bit like Frodo when he's given in to the influence of the One Ring.

And I see Natalie Portman is sporting hair donuts.

It looks like it could be fun, but Lucas had better get straight to the point and show us Darth Vader really quickly. The appearance of his suit will be pretty much the one and only reason anybody sees the movie, kind of like Yoda's lightsaber fight in Episode II. As much as I like character driven stories, I have come to the concclusion that George Lucas has no ability to do character development whatsoever. His mistake in the previous movies was that he tried.

I also think it's interesting to note that Star Wars still seems to be a mostly viable franchise. Oh sure, it's tarnished a little. But think of the reaction you would have gotten if somebody announced further sequels to The Matrix. Now that was a series that flamed out big time.

[Canyarion]

I just watched The Matrix R&R (pun intended) this weekend. They're really not that bad if you don't expect too much of it.

[Fox 6]

I hate when people ask " Why is there better technology in the new movies than in the old ones?" well first off we only saw Corusant in the new ones, not the old ones so the technology is still the same or better on Corusant but we dont see it. second a weapon that can destroy a planet isn't considered an advance in technology??

[Blackmane]

They just say that because the special effects in the movie are so much better now and so people naturally think that that means everything is better.

Actually I seem to remember hearing (I think a quote, or a TV interview with Lucas himself somewhere, sometime ago) that the new movies sort of take place in a renaissance period...

Whereas in the older movies, set during a time where a war has already been going on for quite awhile now, it's more industrial "get them damn fighters ready to fly NOW" kinda thing... They didn't fret too much on making sure they were easy on the eyes...

The only obvious less-advanced thing would be the death star plans and other various computer models they used... Which were basically made with early vector graphics...

[Fox 6]

ya, thats the biggest difference. speaking of old effects I wish we got to see the Puppet Yoda fight. That would be funny

[Ginkasa]

It looks like it could be fun, but Lucas had better get straight to the point and show us Darth Vader really quickly. The appearance of his suit will be pretty much the one and only reason anybody sees the movie, kind of like Yoda's lightsaber fight in Episode II.

*SPOILER*



















Vader's only in the last five or so minutes. At least in the suit and stuff. Anakin is definetely turning to the dark side earlier than that, and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets his name change then as well.

*notices the budding discussion over technology*

*seems to remember already having this conversation before*

*ah well*

First off, when analyzing the technology of the two trilogies you have to take into account that the majority of the technology in the classic trilogy is supposed to have already existed for several thousand years. In KotOR, set 4,000 years before ANH, it is said that hyperspace travel had already been around for 20,000 years. That's a whole lot of history behind a technology that is far advanced from what we already have. It'd be near impossible to try to differentiate the leaps in technology from such a relatively small time period as 20-30 years.

Then you have to understand the difference in the needs for the technologies and the varying locations in the movies.

In Episode I, the galaxy is in a state of relative peace. Any kind of "battles" are relatively minor skirmishes from small rebellions or single or double planet wars. Most of these problems solve themselves or with the help of Jedi. There's no need for super mass produced weaponry or spacecraft like in the classic trilogy. They can spend more time making the fighters and cruisers prettier, etc.

This is especial for Naboo. They haven't had a major war for a while. Those fighters they have are meant for local policing and ceremonies for the most part. The whole Trade Federation battle was probably first major dogfight those craft had been through.

In Episode II, you have the Seperatists and the Republic has its first galactic war for a few good millenia. The war machines used in the Battle of Geonosis are obviously made quicker and in larger quantities than anything in Episode I. They're made to be efficient and deadly, not pretty.

Episode III will follow the trend. A lot of the hype around the movie has been how much it looks like ANH in terms of style and a few '70's haircuts and stuff. You'll see from the trailer a fighter that looks very similar to an X-Wing. There'll also be a mixture between a TIE fighter and a Jedi Starfighter.

Like its been said, people have just been seeing the CGI ships, rather than model ships, and assuming that just because they look better they must be of a higher technology in the Star Wars galaxy as well.


*shrugs and walks away*

[Joeiss]

I can't wait for this movie. :)

[Blackmane]

I didn't think I would be excited about Star Wars after Episode 2, but I am really excited about this one.

Can't wait for next year.

[Yoda9864]

Hmmmmm, I know I'll camp out for this one like the others, but I think I might really show my nerdiness this time. I can dress up in my Jedi garb that I made for Halloween this year and have duels with other nerds, lol.

[Null]

Camp out? is there even going to be a line?

there was a line for Ep 1, after that dissapointment there was NO ONE in line for Ep 2, i dont even think the shows will sell out for ep 3. And this a huge theatre at the biggest mall in the state.

[GameMaster]

I think becuase it's the supposed last film, there might be a bigger turnout for episode 3 than there was for epsiodes 1 and 2.

[Null]

well i'd agree if 1 and 2 were good. but i think most have cought on by now. im predicting less people. :p

[Xantar]

Unless something about the advertising or the interviews that George Lucas gives convinces the fanboys, "No, go see it! This time I really did get it right! I won't let you down the third time around!"

I mean, isn't that what people thought about Episode II? Sure, The Phantom Menace was disappointing, but people forgave it and went to see Episode II in droves because it would supposedly be more evil this time and have the Yoda fight. And well, it did have those things. It's just that we had to wade through an hour of bad character development and dialogue as well..

I'm guessing Episode III will be the same.

[Blackmane]

Yea....your probably right.

*seriously considers what Xantar has said*


...

DAMN, I can't wait for Episode III. It is going to be the bestest movie yet, for sure.

:D

[Canyarion]

hehe +rep :p
