Well, it was a really long night but well worth it.

Visually, you've never seen another movie like it. Plot-wise, lots of surprises. It ties up a lot of loose ends (not all of them). I came home and popped in the Empire DVD to check out a few things, namely the Emporer's speech to Vader. The new footage filmed for that DVD makes more sense now. It was a sweet movie...definitely a must-see.

Oh yeah...lots of nerds, lightsaber toys and immaturity in the audience. I was definitely among the oldest people in the theater. What was cool was, the theater manager came in before the movie and offered to give away the very cool rubber Yoda statue that was in the lobby. The person with the best Yoda impersonation won the statue. We had 7 people volunteer; winner was pretty decent. I thought it was cool how the theater workers were just as excited as the audience, and they never pulled an attitude with anyone, even the mostly immature audience.

Yeah, I knew that when I saw Ep1....just waiting for it to come around :D


The movie was definitely worth seeing.  It has a chance to overtake ESB with me for the #1 spot of the 6, but time will tell.  It is definitely the darkest of the 6 and there was minimal idiotic comedic relief to entertain the kiddies.  If Lucas could have someone else write dialog for him things would improve markedly.

All in all though, the effects are stunning, the acting is marginal and the story is what it is (we knew how it's supposed to begin and where it's supposed to end).  I'll see it again and own it on DVD when it comes out to add to the collection.....

Star Wars sucks. Star Trek sucks. Nothing can even compare to Duck Dodgers in the twenty-fourth and a halfth century! :D

Joking apart, I have never been a big fan of these movies. I like them, but not enough to commit a couple of hours of fighting my A.D.D. to watch them. I saw SW back in the late 70's, the second one back in the early 80's, and that's it - didn't see the third one (to this day I still don't know for sure what an "ewok" is, though the 80's cartoon gave some insight), and I didn't see any of the three prequels. I must say, though, that I would like to see this new one simply because it looks to be a good movie.

A better movie, however, would pit the Millenium Falcon against the Enterprise. Race 'em or fight 'em, but as long as it's one versus the other it'd be cool :D

I went and saw episode 1 only because the girl I was going out with that night was cute and blonde,  and cute!  Needless to say I don't remember the movie but the night was awsome!

The last good Star Wars movie was Empire Strikes Back.  Everything Lucas has touched since then has been  - all the new Star Wars films, the Indy tv show, Howard the Duck, the Indy films, and things like Tucker and Captain EO projects.  I hope for the best with this movie, but I won't hold my breath.

It would be hard for him to mess it up, seeing as he created these major plot points well over 30 years ago when he was a hungry filmmaker, a good storyteller, and very talented.  But 25 years without a decent story to tell is 25 years without a decent story!

Well, besides the name "Ewok" being a phonetically reversed "Wookee"...

I saw Ep3 last night, I thought it was good however it did not go beyond what I expected. 3 stars from me.

What I am worried about is the TV series that Lucas is handing over to others to make. It will take place between Ep3 and 4(a new hope) and tie up everything and focus on some of the smaller characters. Recipe for disaster IMHO, but we shall see.

Hey Chewie! Be sure to thank your people for the help on Kashyyyk. ;)

Turning it over to other people is going to be much better IMO. Look at 'Empire'. 'Jedi' had its moments too. As long as we can get GL out of his Steve Jobs-inspired Reality Distortion Field™, we'll be alright.

Reality distortion field? is that a new name for "internet chat room" or something?

How 'bout the Death Star VS Deep Space Nine? :D
