OK...is anyone going to see Episode III the day it opens?
I am looking forward to the movie but I'm not in any big rush to see it.

I'm not getting anywhere near a theater on opening day. Two weeks later, maybe, though I do want to see it.

You don't have to be a geek to enjoy them- they're a pretty good story, all in all. I have to say, the first one is still the best.

I think many people would pass them up after seeing the stiff acting and uninspired dialog of Episode I & II. I hope III is much better.

No but some of my co-workers and friends think that is weird.

word to that observation. episode II had more interesting diolgue and plot, but the actting was terrible--especially young skywalker who was played totally over the top. episode I was one of the biggest disappointments of cinematic history as far as i am concerned and to say episode II was just slightly better isn't saying much. the trailer for III honestly looks like it may be the best one of the three, similar to empire in feel i hope. time will tell.Joshua B said:

Agreed.
You are indeed powerful.
Sith is around 85% on the Tomatometer at Rotten Tomatoes. That's a good sign.

Empire was good, no doubt (Scruffy-looking nerf-herder may be the best cut down ever), and it was certainly better then Jedi. I just like the original better. I say "Stay on target...Stay on target..." a lot more often than I say "Who's scruffy looking?", anyway.

Did you see the SW fan photos on Boston.com? See the "Beer Solo" guy? Fiancé of one of my closest friends. It was quite a costume.

here's my report. a few observations about the new star wars movie. no spoilers, except ones we already knew about.
- Most importantly, It didn't suck
- The only tedious part of the movie was the dialogue between anakin and padame
- the CGI sequences were really impressive
- anakin's conversion to darth vader was believable and convincing, his behavior as darth vader wasn't as believable
- darth vader is one evil son of a bitch
- Padame's death at the end of the movie moistened the eyes of 500 hardcore male star wars fans, who quickly attempted to squelch them.
- two people (audience members) dressed up as darth vader, one as obewan. they had light-saber fights before the show started, and everyone in the theatre was into it. they were chanting "O-BE-WAN! O-BE-WAN!" I was trying to be cool, reading my backpacker magazine.
- i was, indeed, the only person in there with a backpacker magazine
- i was one of the only people who showed up alone. I was also one of the only people who wore a wedding ring.
- when 7 screenings of star wars gets out at the same time, the mens room line backs up pretty bad right when the movies end. interestingly, there was no line for the ladies room.
- like episode 2, yoda kicks some ass in this movie
- virtually no dialogue with jar-jar (sadly, jar-jar doesn't die)
- i appreciated the lead-ins to episode 4
.obe wan handing baby luke to his uncle (where he stayed to 'watch over the child)
.said uncle (and wife) looking at the two suns set in exactly the same way luke did in a famous scene in episode 4
.yoda teaching obe wan to communicate with dead jedis before he went into exile
.a few scenes in the exact same hallway where you first see darth vader in episode 4
.the emporer's transformation from an old man to a really ugly wrinkley old man
.darth vader getting the helmet and black costume, and the revelation of why he wears the helmet and black costume
.first appearance of chewbacca and his wookie friends
there's probably a lot more, but i'm getting too tired to remember.
definitely best of the 3 in the modern series.. better than jedi, not better than hope or empire. so out of the six, it's the 3rd best.
