Nope, don't give a damn. Episode I sucked, and I have no reason to believe II won't as well. Too bad, considering how great the original trilogy was. Lucas, it seems, is now doing children's movies.
LOTR is in an entirely different ballpark - I'll be psyched when the Two Towers comes out.

The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

90 seconds too long.
But it wasn't just Jar-Jar... it was pretty much the whole movie. Whatever, if I hear from a bunch of people that it's good, I'll go see it. Otherwise, I'm not coughin' up $8.

Well, there's only so much death and painful dismemberment you can cram in mere 90 seconds..."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency

I'm looking forward to two things;
More background to help me figure out the convoluted plot from Phantom.
And Haydn Christopher as the older Anakin. Adding much more depth than that lame kid, he may be saving grace of the movie

Speaking of Star Wars, has anyone played Jedi Knight II? It looks interesting but I have never played a FPS game before. Would you recomend the game to a newbie?I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

The secret of the first Star Wars was that they could take the merchandizing, and wrap it around something a little more substantial to make you pay attention.
For example, the first of the first Star Wars is almost a shot-by-shot copy of the old movie 'the Searchers', except in space (compare Luke discovering the bodies at the ranch to the EXACT same original in the Searchers).
The problem with Episode One was that it wasn't very well written. Why? I think Georgie ran out of concepts to copy and other scripts to plagiarize. +, the whole notion of having interesting characters who require 'characterization' was just thrown out.
The characters sucked!!
1. Anakin: Being cutesy lasts about 5 minutes. Poor ability to show emotions, 'unrealistic' script. How were we supposed to empathize? He was a mass of cliche and shallowness.
2. Qui Gon: This is Obi-Wan Kneobi's master? Well, we really don't get to know too much about him, his scene time is mostly fighting.
3. Queen Amidala: a costume looking for a character.
4. The rest: not even worth mentioning
The Two Towers is my must see movie.
What other mainstream movie is going to include poetry? Frodo, the young bourgeois romantic in a changing world, a world of rigid class lines fighting for freedom, a world of a mythic golden age struggling against the merciless forces of reality, progress, and industry?"Wait a minute..this isn''t FAUX dive, it's just a DIVE!"
"...Mangy dog staggering about, looking vainly for a place to die."
"sauna stories? There are no 'sauna stories'.. I mean.. sauna is sauna. You do by the laws of sauna." -P.

I'll see it.
The Star Wars #1 prequel was a complete child movie.
So were 4, 5, and 6 (remember the Ewoks?).
It does seem funny, time has made it seem that Star Wars is a cinematic masterpiece, when it is, is brainless entertainment. PM fit into that. Yes, it was a bit more childish than the others, but not horribly so.
I saw a little bit of Episode 2 on Entertainment Tonight (or one of those shows) and it looks pretty cool. The impending turning of Anakin, and the Clone Wars (Sam Jackson with a lightsaber = kick ass!).

I've never been a massive Star Wars fan anyway, so I can't say I cared that much about the Phantom Menace either, I can take it or leave it. I am quite interesting in seeing the next Lord Of The Rings one thoughSpeaking of Erith:
