Can't wait to see Yoda duke it out with a light saber!

Isn't it a wee bit early for this thread?

No, may 16th is like 18 days from now................ the only thing is, according to my little computer calender, may 16th is a thursday... and I believe movies only come out on fridays and, every now and then, wednsdays...

I think Episode 1 came out on a wednsday.... y'sure it's not May 15th?

Oh yeah uhhh the movie... it looks good... yep...

I'monna see it the first time I get the chance... as in when it's not sold out...

*checks rottentomatoes*... hmm that's weird... it is the 16th... Opening on a thursday?

StarWars Fun Fact #1: For the first time ever in StarWars history, Yoda will not be controlled by puppetry but rather will be completley computer generated and animated.

You lucky son of b...

Uhh, I mean you give all us here a good early review, ok?

TheGrimReaper · 04-29-2002, 02:55 AM

I've already got my ticket for May 17th.

Man I can't wait.

Crash · 04-29-2002, 12:49 PM

i'm not a star wars fanatic, but i like the movies, and i'm going to see the new one, just as soon as it comes out.

And i like doing star wars art. check out yoda... (jango fett coming soon, along with amidala)

Perfect Stu · 04-29-2002, 03:10 PM

that's some sweet artwork Crash...dayum

Joeiss · 04-29-2002, 03:22 PM

That is a sweet picture, Crash! Are you going to finish it? Or is that a style of art?

Oh, and Episode II is going to be amazing! I am so pumped up for it. I didn't get any toys yet, but that is okay. That means more money for my discman! Lol.

The scene where all of the Trade Federation (I think it is them...) tanks are big things (which look like pre-evolved AT AT Walkers) are attacking the 8 or 10 Jedi. That looks amazing!

And yeah, you can tell that Yoda is computer generated. When he is floating on that pillow when he is walking with Mace Windu and Obi Wan (I think), he looks pretty fake... Well, not fake, but not fuzzy like in the old ones.

Hmm... What else... I don't know... Apparently there is going to be some AMAZING lightsabre fight sequences, but I don't know if it will be able to top the Vader/Obi Wan fight from the original.

All joking aside, I cannot see a new lightsabre fight being better than the Maul/Ben/Qui Gon fight in Episode I. That was so great. It was good acting by Ewan McGregor. I feel he showed alot of passion and he looked really sad/angry (even though Jedi should not use those emotions) when Qui Gon died.

Well, that is enough Star Wars for now.

If they get rid of Jar Jar Binks, the film will already be 50% better than Episode I (in my opinion). If they get rid of all the Gungans in general, the movie will be 100% better. And if George Lucas learns how to use his special effects to tell a story instead just showing off, the movie will be the must- see that Episode I should have been.

Crash · 04-29-2002, 04:15 PM

yeah, i'll finish it.

and jar jar is in episode II, but amidala tells him to shut up. and we're supposed to enjoy that part. so... yeah, i guess.

Ginkasa · 04-29-2002, 04:16 PM

Jar Jar is only in one small scene in the beginning. I don't know about Gungans as a whole though

I don't care if Gungans are completely gone or not, just as long as they are not in the movie as much.

George Lucas also said at some point that he was dissappointed in Episode I also... I think so anyway....

In any case I believe that Episode II will be awesome.

I believe that Jar Jar has a small role in the beginning of the film. He is a diplmat of the Gungans in the Republic. I am absolutely 100% positive that he will not have over 1.3 minutes of talking. So that is good.

Oh, and I also like how on the preview, it shows how the the Storm Troopers came about. Palpatine wanted to make an army of the republic, and he did. I also like how the masks are a pre-evolution of the storm troopers featured in Episodes 1, 2 and 3.
