I'm giggling, remembering Yoda in Thumb Wars. Chloe always walks around doing the voice from the movie, "I'm a puppet. Yeeeessssss."

I always though that the idea to do prequels was a bad one. Most obvious is the fact that it never really works because the technology is so much more advanced in the prequels that it destroys the continuity.

I would have rather seen an approach similar to "The Godfather 2", where it was primarily a sequel but they used flashbacks to tell the story of Don Corleone. I think it would have been far more effective if Lucas would have kept the story moving forward, while using flashbacks to tell the story that led up to the present. With the Godfather series, you can watch them in order and it doesn't seem strange. Not so with Star Wars.

Just my humble opinion, of course. :)

But that's just it, they're terrible movies on their own. The only reason I DO watch them is because they are Star Wars and I'd like to know where he's going with the story. Otherwise they've got nothing for me. Bad acting, bad directing, bad action, and bad dialog.

Exactally. And I accept that. It makes watching them a lot less painful. If I saw these 3 before I saw the OT (original three/trilogy?) I'd never watch them. And I fear that a generation or 3 later that is what will come to be. Well either that or they'll think the OT suck and love these 3.

CP: you are never going to get the prequel films you want/expect. Either accept that by May 19th or don't bother going to the theater to watch Revenge Of The Sith cause it'll just be a bad experience for you.

But he has to go see it so he has more in his arsenal for how much it sucked. :eek: ;)

Something like that. But it's more that I do want to see where the story goes. But that doesn't mean I plan on being appologetic about the movie when it does suck.

FYI, the first part of the comic book adaptation of Episode III is in comic stores and probably book stores around the nation now. I got a copy.

Ohhhh, badly drawn pictures!

And the book/audio book are released tomorrow. I'm sure I could run out and buy them - or I could go see Sin City and read "Dhalgren". Hmmm
