I'm sure this will be available only to digital theaters. No? But upgrading to digital is such a good deal for theaters! At least this will be the last Star Wars.

Kind of makes me wonder who would win between a Ninja and a Jedi or Predator.

Uh-oh. I think I peed a little.

Tell us how you really feel, Joe! [Smile]

Joe,

Don't you know that Star Wars can never end? We need to have Episode 3, the enhanced episode 1, the enhanced episode 2 THEN we need to re-do episode 4 with better special effects, then redo Jedi with lots of little Jar-Jars instead of Ewoks, then we must put a happy ending on Empire, then (etc., etc., etc.)

The George Lucas Money Machine MUST continue. Perhaps someday, we'll have elderly geeks in wheelchairs and walkers lined up for days ahead of time to see the newest adaptation.

Posted by Greg Davis (Member # 2687) on 11-06-2004, 04:54 AM:

The Problem I have with Star Wars is that the robots/aliens/any kind of character looks like something I would see in a kids book. Too soft, too colorful, and even lucas' attempts at making things look evil or ugly still border on the aesthetic. I like the puppeteering better, and the dialogue KILLED episode 2. I would like to cling onto this fantasy world but lets face it, next to LoTR and Kill Bill this is joke family films. If I wanted to see all those pretty flashing lights I go to an arcade.

JK. I love star wars always will.

OMG a new Episode III trailer has been released OMG!!!!!

Click to download
30.9 MB

Perhaps a little slow-paced in spots.

The trailer has a few good ideas. I like "The Lost Hope". Killing Jar-Jar Binks slowly would be a good idea too. No, I am serious here, Lucas should show some self-irony here and have him killed. After all, this is supposed to be a "dark" episode. There could actually be a confrontation between Vader and the princess. There is enormous potential in that, it could be his last chance of redemption even after becoming Vader. Of course we all know that it won't help him much, but this could still yield some powereful scenes. But I am almost certain this won't happen, I can't explain why I have that feeling... [Big Grin]

Oh, wow, if that wasn't worth the download, I don't know WHAT is!!! That so kicks ass!

Joe,

Considering your opening OMG statement...are you sure you aren't the moron waiting at the theater for 20 weeks for Star Wars to open? [Wink]

Man... when they say the camera adds 10 lbs.(more like 30 lbs in this trailer) they REALLY meant it. Even Jar Jar is looking "flabby". But I'd still watch "this" movie rather than what Lucas is conjuring up. [Big Grin]

Reactions to the new trailer that's on Robots?

It's looking pretty awesome to me.

Posted by Mike Blakesley (Member # 26) on 03-11-2005, 01:06 PM:

Cool efx. The same dopey dialogue continues.

I'm glad there wasn't more Vader in it. Keeps the suspense up for the actual movie.

Posted by James R. Hammonds, Jr (Member # 673) on 03-11-2005, 01:18 PM:

I didn't see Jar-Jar in this one.
Maybe there's a new hope for this film [Wink]

The tricked me, damn it! I wish I saw it before I had it built up, now it's on there. [Frown]

Nice trailer, but it didn't thrill me in that flat format.

He was probably one of the original few that stood in line overnight at the Cooper in Denver to watch it there in 70mm the next day.

Did anyone else notice how VIDEOISH that trailer looked? I guess it didn't make it through the Lucasfilm "film simulator" whatever process, because the images looked like straight video, whereas at least Episode II looked relatively decent.

(I am speaking of the 35mm print attached to Robots.)

Posted by Brad Light (Member # 2961) on 03-12-2005, 05:45 PM:

I'm looking for a way to save the trailer, any suggestions? I can't find it in my cache and my usual download programs won't work. I might just have to wait until the extra large is avialable.

The impending sense of doom is good.

Posted by Aaron Garman (Member # 1653) on 03-12-2005, 06:01 PM:

I have the trailer, captured from when it aired after the OC on Thursday. If someone can supply 50MB of webspace, I could host it. The quality is MUCH better than those quicktime files.

Wouldn't George get pissy about that?

Posted by Brad Light (Member # 2961) on 03-12-2005, 10:10 PM:

I run a drive-in, George doesn't like us to begin with. We have crappy sound. NOT.

I'm not sure. On one hand, it is free marketing. On the other hand, it was not meant to be shared online, even though it was recorded off of live, over-the-air television. Sounds like someone is willing to donate the space, but I won't post it if the mods wish it not to be posted.

Either way, the film looks amazing (visually at least).

Yes, I did, but you know Brad that digital is better. You can't argue with Master Jedi.....I mean Lucas.
