I liked Ep II too (at least to some extent). It had some weaknesses, but overall it was better than Ep I (not that difficult), but also better than for example "Return of the Jedi".

The fact that the movie is only going to be 2 hours means that all the answers to our questions will be rushed. I'm sure the storyline will be anorexic (sic) and leave us with even more questions that will probably never be answered.signature not visible until patch comes out.Comment

"destroy the Death Star... again!" But I'll take VI over II anyway, because the acting in II was atrocious.

I've been thinking about it and they have a lot to cover in Ep III; two hours doesn't sound like enough time. I was actually hoping that Lucas & Co would make two more films, an Ep III Part I and Part II.Originally posted by Haupt. Dietrich

The whole problem with the acting, to me, stems from the fact that Ep I and II were forced to be serious movies with serious characters. Most of the major roles in those films were Jedi who are supposed to be relatively unemotional and thoughful: Qui Gon Jinn, Obiwan, Yoda, Mace Windu, and Palpatine, Tyrannus, Maul (other force practitioners).Originally posted by Arrian

OTOH, in Ep 4,5, &6 the main characters were wacko Han Solo, emotional Princess Leia, immature Luke Skywalker (until the very end). Only Vader and Obiwan were forced into the serious roles. And there was Yoda but his parts were fairly small.
So that's my conclusion: Eps 1 and 2 suffered from all of the serious people engaged in serious affairs. But there was some good acting in 1 and 2, I liked Ewan McGregor and even Hayden had some good scenes.Comment

We find in Episode 3 that Anakin really isn't Luke's father.
Chewbacca and Jar-Jar are Han Solo's parents.
The Emperor is actually a crusty old guy name Fred.
ACK!

If it was titled "EpIII - Jar Jar Must Die!", and had an 18R rating, then I wonder how much it would take at the box office.Originally posted by Arrian
It's the rating. It stands for "parental guidance."
G
PG
PG-13
R
So PG means it will be tame. IIRC, the first three were all PG.

Tripping the Rift is the real Episode III. Your SciFi channel has ordered a series based on it.

* Mr. McGregor apparently feels he needs to do an Alec Guinness impression. Nobody knows why.

Lucas really set the film up well there. It had a definite mood of 'half-assed knock-off' from the very beginning.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

Ep II was good! Much better than RotJ, IMO.
Ep III will be great
. Especially the final battle between Obi-Won and Anakin 
. I can't wait for this one . I'll also be the darkest (even darker than V), because most of the Jedi are killed (except Obi-Won, Yoda and Anakin's kids).

I know ... I couldn't be bothered to look any up myself, but I bet there aren't any good ones.
