Everything Star Wars!!

[Shinzon2004]

After a long waiting,the Star Wars films have been finally realesed into the DVD format.In my opinion,this classic Trilogy has been one of the most changed films in history.

The original VHS format,in the late 1980s had minor modifications but still they were the original films as we remember them.

In the late 1990s,George Lucas wanted to do a special edition....adding new things into the films.

The results were amazing,it enhanced the movie experience as a whole.The explosion of the Death Star in Episode IV was redone and it was great.They even added new sound fx to the ships controls.But as for the new DVD realeses....well they even changed and replaced some scenes!The end of Return of the Jedi was also changed again and they even erased the appearence of one actor....the original spirit of Anakin Skywalker to be repleced with the actor that played Anakin in the prequels!

Oh well....how many more changes can they be?

It was rumored that even Jhon Williams wanted to add some new music,especially at the beggining of Episode IV,when we see Lord Vader for the first time.He was thinking in adding the Imperial March into that scene.

Oh well,for those fans who saw the Special Editions in 1997 and the new DVD editions,what do you think of the changes and which one is your favorite Star Wars movie?

Roads?Where we are going we dont need,roads!

[Disco]

I have the VHS special addition and just ordered the new DVD's. Have not got them yet so can't compare. Looking forward to the special "extra" dvd with behind the scenes.

[SMLVLFAN89]

I got them for my brother for his birthday. So obviously i cant watch themm til then. :lol:

[johnmatrix3rd]

i got the region 2 box set and just wanted to say it was worth the wait!

i have watched em all twice over now!

the bonus disk is phat and the playable demo of starwars battle front is brilliant!

[Disco]

I GOT THEM!!!!!!

don't know if i will have any time to view the "extra" dvd. at least i have them :)

[johnmatrix3rd]

not to sound rude when i say this but you must find the time to see the extra's dvd?

its phat

[Disco]

i know... i know... i'll try.... but it's like 4 hours long.... and i have more important things to be doing......like packing... and more packing.....and more....

[johnmatrix3rd]

lol

boo yeah

[herzog]

I have had the dvds for years actually... they were not available in the united states but in other parts of the world. :rolleyes:

I do and they are dvd.;) I do not have this new extra dvd though. I wonder whats on it:\ .

[Smallvillenews]

:) We have our's at last.... we've been waiting a long time for these to come out. Hooray!!!! :D

[herzog]

Is the stuff on the extra disc any good? Curious:confused:

[johnmatrix3rd]

yes the extra's dvd is soooooooooo good!

worth the money alone...serious

[axisoftime]

Phat? I feel old lol

[j03superbat]

I got mine today. Worth the money. A New Hope was, as always, the most noticeably changed and not just the addition of CG scenes and CG clean-ups like Jabba, but the entire picture quality seemed a whole lot better.

Tantive IV, Princess Leia's ship in the opening space battle, is now more detailed than ever and sports bright red stripes that were supposedly there before. I never saw them.

Good job, Lucas. :)

shabbort

[snaps]

mine arrived on the 21st i had watched all dvd,s by that weekend ....i know you noticed that anakin (old) got replaced with young anakin but didyou notice the extra town celebration scene......

and i have a theory to as why george may have changed the anakins........anakin skywalker died as a young man...it was darth vader that died the old man.....


as to herzog im sorry if you have had the dvd,s for years you were ripped off or you knew they were not thr real thing

the extras dvd was brill

[axisoftime]

Remember in the 1st superman movie when lois asked him how old he was?He said "Over 21" and she said"Oh-you dont want anyone to know your age".lol Well if i say im over 40 is that good enuff?Just tell me theres other old folk on the site too!lol

[supermanover21]

I just watched the films. I have to say I was a little miffed when I saw Hayden Christensen, at the end of "Jedi," instead of David Prowse but, it's cool. It's the same character and I've got the other versions on tape, anyway.

I don't have a PC so, I can't watch the DVD-Rom features but, I saw the rest of the DVD. THe documentary was really good. There were some fascinating tid-bits I didn't know.

All the featurettes were good, too.

The sneak peak at episode III was pretty good.

The movies, themselves, looked and sounded great. I'm glad I bought the set.

[johnmatrix3rd]

oh man, where is the sneak peak at episode 3?

i know its on the bonus disk but i could not find it?

little help?

[supermanover21]

When you're on the main menu; it's on the bottom right.


The menu is set up like this:

Documentary Trailers and

And still Preview:

If he doesn't get your money through the DVDs, he'll get your money through some other way. I am dead serious - you'll probably go see a movie with ILM special effects or something. He has a hand in everything.

And what exactly about the enhanced Classic Trilogy makes it "crappy"?

[snaps]

and just because their enhanced dosent mean they are not any good .....just because technology wasnt advanced enough when george originally made starwars wasnt his fault at least he was big enough to admit that they needed extra to make them better(visually not story)

sooooooooooo true girl

[snaps]

i just hate it when people put down any of the starwars world

[MrB_37]

I love Star Wars. But he didn't just go back and add laser effects and sound effects, he added that whole stupid scene with Jabba the Hutt in a New Hope, and Digitally replaced Sebastian Shaw's ghost with Harden Christianson's in Return of the Jedi!
He freakin' changed/replaced/added/deleted scenes from the movies!
I'm a bigger Star Wars fan than George Lucas is.

[snaps]

has nobody seen the special edition VIDEOS they had most the changes that the dvds have except the differ ghost and the naboo town scene

[j03superbat]

Originally posted by MrB_37

The worst aspect of that scene I can think of is that it ruins the pace of the movie - otherwise I quite liked it; Lucas liked it; and considering Jabba is mentioned throughout the trilogy up until his appearance in ROTJ, it ties the whole deal up quite nicely.

I listened to the audio commentary and Lucas defends his replacing Shaw with Hayden by saying that Anakin died young when he went to the Dark Side and joining the Force allowed him to keep his younger identity. I still think this is crap not because he went out and replaced Shaw - it shows effort, which I admire - but because Luke brought him back to the light side of the Force right before he died.

[zhuuka]

They may have made changes to the film I didn't like, like placing Christensen, but it is his movies. I am just glad to have them on DVD, my tapes were starting to wear out.

[snaps]

i03superbat.....i hadnt listened to the audio and i came to the conclusion that thats why george replaced the ghost (on page 2 of this thread)and i had the same question you have luke did bring him back but maybe it wasnt soon enough before his death and didnt have time to right wrongs.. ie... leia

[johnmatrix3rd]

there were no wrongs!

this dvd boxset is out bacause he wants to make his beloved trilogy good looking!

back in the day it was.

in this day and age he wants the the look of the trilogy to match the new year?!

catch my drift?

[snaps]

i cant agree more...............

but as for the wrongs that i meant i was refering to aniakin's relationship with leia ..........not that anything was wrong with the films

[kryptonomicon]

Anakin's relationship to Leia? Did I miss something?

[snaps]

kryptonomicon.............the fact that aniakin was darth vader ..and tried to kill leia ....his daughter......and died before he knew her .....did you not understand this????????

[johnmatrix3rd]

boo yeah snaps

meaning you go girl!

[Disco]

HELP!!!!!

I'M ON A SW TRILOGY CRAZE!!!!

and loving it :p

I agree, if you know anything about ROTS then you know this is crap. A master jedi has the ability to continue on when facing death if he meditates prior to death. The way its done in ROTS shows there is no way this could happen.

[Disco]

I wonder what would have happened if in the end Lukes father didn't die. If he would have joined the Alliance. I assume Leah and Hans would have married. So what would have become of our dear Luke? Would there still be an Empire to fight?

[Unbreakable Lex]

The story wouldnt be complete. Anakin's purpose in the Universe was to bring balance to the force. He wiped out the sith lord and the jedi. The balance was even. Anakin had more force then Luke and Leia.

However, It is a bit hypocritical of them to say that Anikan brought balance when he produced two Jedi. Guess there is still a sith lord out there.

;)

[PETER WEST]

I got the DVD, for Christmas, It really cool. I can't wait to see EpisodeIII, Vader going to kick ass.

[VersesBatman]

I'm not buying them. It's bad enough he messed with them the first time(Greedo didn't shoot first!), but then he added more stuff, like the Hayden Christianson and having a Gungon say "Weesa free" at the end of ROTJ.

[Disco]

Changing the name of this thread to Everything Star Wars so we can discuss all the movies here and more.

Pretty sure this last movie will be good. It's got to be... and GL knows that.

[Summers]

I havent gotten the new dvds, but I do I have the special editions videos. I kinda like them better I'm not partical to Hayden being in ROTJ. It just doesnt sit well with me.

In the Star Wars books Han and Leia do get married, and have three children. Twins Jacen and Jaina, and Anakin. Luke becomes Jedi Master of the new Jedi Order which is great, and also gets married to another jedi Mara Jade. They have a son named Ben :). What I like about the books is that in the beginning they go into the Leia and Anakin's relationship. When she is pregnant w/ Anakin she visited by her father in a very touching scene. At times I love the books more lol.

[Disco]

Really... never thought about reading the books. Maybe I should start.

[snaps]

definatly..you should they open up a whole new side to star wars ...ive been reading them since i was 16 i have all that is published ...(uk) abd i get so excited for the characters when something good happens but cry with the bad ..........

(spoiler for those who havent read the books)

.....chewie dying was a bad moment , but then jacen is captured then missing by the vong...then anakin dies , but then ben is born ....they are just a giant rollercoaster with your emotions

[Summers]

I love how they envolved the children. I think they are in their late teens now.

[Backward Galaxy]

The only change I really enjoyed (aside from basic sFX cleanup) was in Empire where they replaced the Emperor for consistency purposes. Of course, I don't like that they gave him different lines or that, despite being the same actor, he doesn't sound or look like the Emperor from ROTJ, but whatever.

To me, all the other changes just ring bells in my head when I'm watching it... and that bothers me.

[snaps]

yeah jania is dating jag wedges nephew jacen is confused the next set of books are supposed to be about ben

[Backward Galaxy]

yeah jania is dating jag wedges nephew jacen is confused the next set of books are supposed to be about ben


Punctuation is cool.

[Summers]

lol. I wish Jaina and Kyp Durron would hook up. They are great together. Isnt Ben Skywalker being protected at the moment?

[snaps]

seen as it is 9.40pm where io live and ive been up since 4 am ....pick on someone else

i didnt like the whole kyp as a potential boy friend ....last book out here with ben in he was with luke and mara

[Summers]

I dont know from my point of view this new boyfriend of her just seems stale, and doesnt know Jaina that well. Whereas Kyp understands where she is coming from especially when crossing the darkside of the force.

[snaps]

yeah but its wedges nephew ......



and seen as my brain is dead im an hour slow its 10.40

[axisoftime]

I still remember seeing the original movie the day it came out.There was a huge write-up in Newsweek about this film 'changing the face of movies forever'.Some friends and I stood in a looong line and managed to get the last few tickets available-we sat in the 1st row-off to the far side of the theater-and at the time this was 1 of the biggest theaters in the country-so u can imagine the view we had lol.I still think the 1st is the best-followed by 'Empire'-a close 2nd -and Return-3rd-actualy-except for the begainning and the ending i didnt think it was THAT good!But i still liked it better then'Phantom' or 'Attack'.Maybe its unfair to compare them to the 1st 2.Anyhow-I would hope that GL does do at least 1 more-a sequel to Jedi-with Mark-Harrison & Carrie-now that would be cool.

[Disco]

Anyhow-I would hope that GL does do at least 1 more-a sequel to Jedi-with Mark-Harrison & Carrie-now that would be cool.
I would love to know what happens after Jedi. It was a good ending with the ghost of Yoda, Ben and Anakin but I want to know if Han and Leia get married. What happens to Luke. What happens to the Empire. There is so much more to tell. Are there books about this?

[Summers]

yea, there is a whole series that is still going. They bascially start where Jedi left, and they are about 20 years after Jedi w/ a new threat to the galaxy.

btw, I read in my newspaper enterinament section that nearly all the actors from the original to the prequels will appear on a magazine together. I cant remember if it was Variety, or what magazine is it. Let's say from Han Solo to Natalie Portman will appear on the cover.

[Backward Galaxy]

Star Wars.com already has it up.

[Summers]

thanks BG

[Disco]

Found it... thanks

http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/release/publicity/news20050104.html

[Summers]

that's a long picture. Jake Lloyd is tall now. aww, little Yoda and R2 is in it lol. Ewan w/ that beard looks good. Carre, Harrison, and Mark are set up together. Sadly, we are missing one more....Ben Guinsess(sp?).

[snaps]

summers, no s after the n.........first name was alec not ben , ben was the character .alec a great scottish actor

[Summers]

I tend to that hence (sp?) lol. But I figured people will know who I'm talking about lol. I terrible at names sometimes.

[PETER WEST]

OMG that picture is amazing, :eek:

[ferd]

Yeah--The whole issue of the new Vanity Fair is awesome. Great pics--I'm so psyched for ROTS.

Speaking of great pics--Have ya'll seen these?

Is this issue already on the newstands??

[ferd]

It hit newstands today :)

[VersesBatman]

I imagine this is going to be the saddest of the movies.

[Disco]

i think so... supposed to be very dark... but then again... that's what being vader is all about.

was anakin tortured?

[Summers]

I'm glad its going to be dark, and it actually flows into the theme into Ep4: A New Hope in Luke :).

[Disco]

thanks ferd... going to look for it.

[kryptonomicon]

Hopefully Episode III will make up for the travesty that was The Phantom Menace, and the moderate dissapointment that was Attack of the Clones. It has the potential to be right up there with The Empire Strikes Back--which many people, including myself, consider the best of the SW films.

[Disco]

ditto... Empire was the best.

I didn't mind these last two.... I basically saw them just for the storyline so I would know what the heck happened in the begining. Now when I watch A New Hope I know what they're talking about when Luke finds out his father fought in the Clone Wars. And when Ben talks about Anakin before he became Darth Vader.... I know what he's refering to.

[noleafclover]

Return of the Jedi was my favourite!

[snaps]

summers, no offence was ment by me correcting you just thought you would want to know the correct spelling...

[Summers]

oh, I didnt take any offense about it. I am a terrible speller lol.

Return of the Jedi is my favorite. That was the first movie I ever saw in the theatres :).

[snaps]

first time around or special edition ?????

[Disco]

I went out yesterday to the local pharmacy/foodmart to see if they had the magazine. I got the last copy. I went to pay and the checkout lady seemed quite interested in it. I told her it was a special edition.

Holy cow... you should see how big the kid now is from the Phantom Menace. I almost didn't recognize him.

[ferd]

I was at Dragon Con and the kid who played young Boba was there (Daniel Logan) and I saw him on the escalator-- He was like "Whoa, Hey Scarlett!" (I was dressed as Scarlett O'Hara) and I said "Hey Baby Boba" and he died laughing.

I couldn't believe how much he had grown--and let me say he's a little Hot Boba!! :p

The magazine is great--awesome pic of the Peacock dress :) **must sew it**

it was the first time around. I believe I was about three or close to four years old at the time.

Jake Lloyd is tall now. I wish sometime soon there will HQ's version of the picture.

Here's a link to the pic for those without the mag

[Summers]

Ferd, thank you so much. You can see the cast very clearer now. thanks again :)

[Disco]

Absolutely fascinating article. It's a good couple pages (both sides). GL mentioned that this is a pg-13 rated movie (the others were only pg) because there are a lot of deaths and limbs getting cut off in the fights. It's not your average happy go lucky Star Wars like we know from the Trilogy.

Hey.. did you know that Darth Vader had lost both arms and one leg so when they say he's more machine than human they aren't kidding.

BTW the movie's official premiere date is May 19.

[j03superbat]

I'm planning to go see Episode III opening day right after school. :)

[leeanachs07]

I want to see it the first day it comes out after school to ...but i know like all other opening day star war's movies ....ppl will be camping out for hours. So i probly wont see it untill that weekend. The only reason really im gunna see it is b/c iv had a huge crush on hayden FOREVER!!!.

what really had me mad tho was how everyone was dissing hayden b/c they think that he couldnt act b/c of his performance in star wars eppy 2. But really like it says in the new vanity fair magizine ...they just didnt like the charicter of anikan

[Disco]

I'm going to wait at least a week or so before seeing it. Would much rather a less crouded theatre.

[j03superbat]

I guess I'll see it twice then. Once on opening day - in the aisle if I have to - and then again after a couple of days (or weeks) to see it from a good vantage point.

Yes, that's how much I love Star Wars.

[Disco]

Did you guys know that Anthony Daniels who plays C-3PO is the only cast member to be in all 6 movies.

[Disco]

I love the piece of music they play when Luke is on the screen. It's sort of a lonely haunting tune but still nice.

Actually I think it's more like a Jedi type theme because they use it for when Obi gets killed and also when Luke is with Yoda.

[ferd]

I love the Anakin Padme love theme--very old Hollywood and romantinc :)

I'm one of the sheep (Baaaa!!) who camp out and watch the movie at midnight, opening night! Have done it every time, and usually wear a costume. Yes, I am a geek! :p

Oh, and did ya'll see this? I gotta get one. It's SOOOOOOOO Cute! :rotfl:

Darth Tater

http://www.ferdalump.com/darthtater.jpg

[Summers]

that's too cute. me want one :) lol.

I love the music between Luke and Anakin together, as well, Han and Leia.

[Disco]

:lol: that's just too funny... i can imagine a whole cast of potato heads like Leia with her customary bun type hairstyle.

[snaps]

or a yoda.......lol

[Disco]

But could they come up with a catchy name like Darth Tater :lol:

I did a search and looks like they only did Darth.

[axisoftime]

How about Luke Potatopeeler or Han Spudlo.C3IDAHO?

[ferd]

:rotfl:

[Summers]

:rotfl:

dont forget Chewie and the Ewoks lol

[snaps]

now that sounds like a band worth listening to

[Disco]

hahaha that does sound like some sort of band.

[axisoftime]

Anyone remember Bill Murray on SNL when he played the lounge singer

Star wars,those near and far wars
Give me those star wars,dont let em in

[Disco]

Now I do :D

Ok... did some searching and found the song.

http://www.mahawa.jw-music.net/mp3/mp3_murray.htm

You can even listen to the song. Click under his picture by his name.

[VersesBatman]

Here's a song by "Weird" Al it's a parody of American Pie

The saga begins

A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and qui-gon jinn
Could talk the federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn’t thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met jar jar and boss nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to theed to see the queen
We all wound up on tatooine
That’s where we found this boy...

Oh my my this here anakin guy
May be vader someday later - now he’s just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin’ soon I’m gonna be a jedi
Soon I’m gonna be a jedi

Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn’t even old enough to shave
And he can use the force, they say
Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he’s just nine and she’s fourteen
Yah, he’s probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I knew he built c-3po
And I’ve heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it’s true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin’ ace
And the minute jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy

We started singin’ ...
My my this here anakin guy
May be vader someday later - now he’s just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin’ soon I’m gonna be a jedi
Soon I’m gonna be a jedi

Now we finally got to coruscant
The jedi council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the force?
They interview the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because yoda sensed in him much fear
And qui-gon said now listen here
Just stick it in your pointy ear
I still will teach this boy

He was singin’ ...
My my this here anakin guy
May be vader someday later - now he’s just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin’ soon I’m gonna be a jedi
Soon I’m gonna be a jedi

We caught a ride back to naboo
’cause queen amidala wanted to
I frankly would’ve liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn’t long at all before
Little hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some gunguns died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin’
The battle droids were broken
And the jedi I admire most
Met up with darth maul and now he’s toast
Well, I’m still here and he’s a ghost
I guess I’ll train this boy

And I was singin’ ...
My my this here anakin guy
May be vader someday later - now he’s just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin’ soon I’m gonna be a jedi
Soon I’m gonna be a jedi

We were singin’ ...
My my this here anakin guy
May be vader someday later - now he’s just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin’ soon I’m gonna be a jedi

[Disco]

lolol that pretty much sums up episode 1.

[VersesBatman]

George Lucas loved that song as well as Don Mclean.

[Summers]

lol, and it just gets in your head. "he's just a small fry" lol

[axisoftime]

There was another SNL where Carrie Fisher was guest host and they had a princess Leia in a 60s beach party movie skit.I remember Al Franken making fun of her name "princess Lay-a"and when she asked him what all the kids were doing there at the beach he says something like "We're all high school students on summer break-we dont drink,smoke or have sex-we just dance and surf"lol.Anyone who remembers 'Beach Blanket Bingo'
and those films would find it very funny.They even ended the skit with a song about Obi-Won-Kenobi.

[VersesBatman]

Has anyone heard of the song "Cantina". It'sa parody of Copacabana. "She was a princess, her name was Leia..."

[Disco]

They've got Star Wars spoof songs on this site including the Cantina song. Scroll down the page.

http://www.blueharvest.net/sound/

Cool site... they have losts of sounds and spoofs you can download and use on your computer. I might use some for when the computer starts up and shuts down and for other alerts like email.

[VersesBatman]

They don't have The saga begins.

[Disco]

Wanted to hear what the Star Wars Disco sounded like but the link doesn't work or no longer exists :\.

[VersesBatman]

I remember the Star Wars Disco.

[Disco]

OMG... they have Saturday Night Fever version of Night Fever called Light Saber.

OH.. I know what the Disco one sounds like. I remember hearing it on an internet 70's radio show.

They should. If I find an audio maybe I can send it to them to put on the site.

[VersesBatman]

The video is pretty cool. Al and his band are dressed like Jedi's and they are singing in the Cantina.

[fanofsteel]

I have no idea where this can be found, I don't know it's title and I only saw the second half of it, but there is a very good indie short film about George Lucas' days in college. He is struggling to write a great epic but suffers from extreme writing block, while all around him the characters and situations of Star Wars in human form of course walk in and out of his life. It's very clever. Any one else see this, and perhaps have more detailed info than I.

[Disco]

Found the video.

http://www.konnektedtwin.com/movievids.htm

Awesome... very well done video to the song.

[Disco]

Star Wars in 30 Seconds is a riot!!

And so is Shakesperian Star Wars

I just changed some of my computer sounds. At start up it plays the SW intro theme. At shut down it's C-3PO saying "Please don't deactivate me" and when I get a new mail message it's the Emperor saying "Welcome young Skywalker... I have been expecting you."

Also downloaded a whole bunch of SW cursors and icons to use.

Decided to join the Blueharvest site... don't know how much I'll post there but it should be fun anyway.

This had me cracking up...Now I know what my dog's going to be for Halloween

Im Lando Carrissian !

Theres a good scene in 'Ferris Buellers Day Off' where Ferris and Cameron take Camerons dads expensive sports car into the big city and leave it at a garage.The parking attendents take off with it,theyre shown leaving the garage-The film then follows Ferris and friends around the city-when all of a sudden u see a hilly road and the Star Wars music starts up and u see the car in the air,lands,then speeds off down the road with Star Wars playing.I liked that scene.

[Summers]

I'm Lando lol. Didnt see that one coming lol...thanks Disco

Wow, I'm the Emperor. That can't be good. Or can it? :p

I thought it maybe too big. I tried to make it avi size, but the lightsaber gets cropped off where you can even see it.

[Disco]

During the Superbowl they kept showing trailers for movies coming out in the summer. My hubby asked why they didn't show anything for Star Wars. I told him that SW doesn't need promotions.... everyone knows when it's coming.

But I am curious to know if and when they will be showing trailers on tv.

[snaps]

eventually they will remember back toattack of the clones there was around 10-12 short trailers each showing a different story line....ie love ....etc...

[yeshuamyking7]

Can someone please explain Obi-Wan's comment about the "Old Folks Home" from Episode II?

[ferd]

The Jedi Masters that in the Jedi Council. The leaders of the Jedi, and decison makers made up of Mace Windu, Yoda, Yaddel, Ki-adi Mundi, etc. The ones that sit in the circle at the Jedi Temple and "test" Young Anakin in TPM, and give out assignments.

The OLD FOLKS HOME is in reference to them, since most of them are older Jedi's Vs. the ones out in the field.

Hope that makes sense :p

Disco They already played the first "teaser" trailer on Access Hollywood, and was attached to "The Incredibles" and is also on Starwars.com

The next, longer trailer should be in theaters in March. As far as I know there will only be one full length trailer and the teaser that we've already seen.

[yeshuamyking7]

Thanks ferd.

[Disco]

but but but... i wanna see one on tv

i know... patience.....

wish we could fast forward to may 19

Thank Ferd... I had a feeling what the "old folks" saying ment but wasn't absolutely sure about it.

[Summers]

they should be releasing more posters soon I hope.

[ferd]

Is anyone here going to Celebration 3?

[Summers]

no :(. Offically today begins the countdown because within a 100 days Revenge of the Sith will be released in theatres :).

I read a reviewer going over the movies coming out this spring/summer and for Star Wars he wrote 'They can call this 'Return of the Snowman' and itll still make 250 million!lol.

I have a few of the Han Solo series, but not all. It was pretty interesting.

[Disco]

I wanted to start with Hans because I've always been interested in who he was and how he got to be a pilot. I also want to know how he met Chewy. Hopefully I can get the rest of the series in the Library. It's just good I happen to find volume 1.

[Summers]

you'll definitely get your background information on Han in this series.

[Disco]

oh good... that's what i'm hoping :D

[Summers]

oh, you will...you will :)

[Disco]

I'll tell you how I like it when I finish reading.

[axisoftime]

I saw the 1st 2 star Wars films on the 1st day-Return of the Jedi I saw in the 1st weekend.The last 2 I saw on cable lol.However i may go after a month-when the crowds die down-just to see it on the big screen.Anyone ever heard of the Star Wars Kid-the kid who used a school video machine to tape himself using a broom like a light-sabre and left the tape in the machine-someone found it and posted it on the net,Kid became famous lol.

[Disco]

Can't believe he got so famous for it.

If I'm not mistaken, Care of the old folks home, also gives the message "high priority" That's why it went straight to the council and not a droid or whoever get's all the messages. :) I've read about it somewhere. A book, forgot which one. o yeah, episode II.

[snaps]

good link ....im luke...

i have 6 books about han dont know if its all of them as its hard to find old books here (uk)...i know about the lando and the luke ones but nevere been able to find them....as sometimes thet are only published in america (same as the dark angel books....)

[Disco]

I finished the first one and checked the names of the authors and titles for the other books. Will take the list to the local library and see if any of the Chicagoland public libraries have them and can send them to my local branch.


The Paradise Snare was good. Can't imagine Han as an Imperial pilot. It's nice to know his background.... can't wait to read more about him. I really like Han :D

[Summers]

oh, I love Han more than ever because of books. When him and Leia are together I love it, and he's so cute with his children. But that's another series not exactly focused on Han particulary.

I printed out the books timeline. The only one's I'm interested at the moment are the ones before A New Hope (Han and Lando series) and the ones right after ROTJ. Those I can't get at the library I'll just have to purchase... hopefully at a good price. Was told to check Overstocks.com.

Is there a book that goes a bit into the Clone Wars and the deceit of Palpatine?

I believe there are some. I dont have those, but I heard there was a couple of books that go between the EP1 and EP2. There should be more coming out that takes between EP2 and EP3.

Disco, your doing the best thing by reading the ones before A New Hope because its gives great backstory.

[Disco]

I'm hoping that after Epi 3 they'll write books about Luke and Leia growing up.

[Unbreakable Lex]

Luke's childhood would be fairly boring, IMO.

Leia's wouldnt be a bad idea.

Its kinda of cool that leia takes after Padme and Luke almost takes after Anakan to a tea!

The princess and the farm boy, or slave boy, take your pick.

Just basic Epic formula.

[Summers]

This movie without a doubt is going to be better than the first two, however; I really wished Lucas would alter the part of Padme for continuity reasons.

[Unbreakable Lex]

Well, I don't know how that particular piece from ROTJ and ROTS will work out. Hopefully he won't mess that continuity up. I don't see how what Leia said could have ever happened anyway. You know.

[Jedi_Lana07]

My most favorite scenes are {sorry if this sounds random}

1. When that A wing hit the huge Imperial battleship and caused it to go down.

2. At the end of Attack of the Clones, when they showed the massive size of the Republic army.

3. When Princess Amidale was pretending to be hand maid, I kinda thought she looked pretty in that organce outfit.

[Disco]

I like Queen Amidala. She's definitely my most favorite character from the prequals. Even like her better than Anakin.

[Unbreakable Lex]

My favorite scenes have to be:

Anakin fullfilling his destiny and finally bringing balance to the force by killing Palpatine

Darth Vador telling Luke that he is his father

Luke saving the day against Jabba the Hut. :D

From the new series, probably the rebulic army setting off at the end of Attack of the Clones.

[Disco]

Luke saving the day against Jabba the Hut.
One of my favorites also. He gives R2 a solute... goes to the edge of the platform... jumps and turns to catch the platform with his hand... springs up with a flip and stretches out his arm to catch the light-saber from R2.

Another favorite scene is with Yoda. When Luke goes down into the whole and faces what he thinks is Vader. He strikes the image down and then sees his own face in the Vader helmet.

And at Jaba's hut....the first time we see Luke wearing the Jedi cloak.

[Summers]

ooh, I love those :). Luke looked awesome in the whole entire Jabba scenes with the black jedi outfit..yummy. He was so cool. I love when him and Leia swinged across of Jabba's barge it looked like a parallel to A New Hope in the Death Star.

I have so many :(, okay couple of mine off the top of my head(that havent been mentioned yet):
-Luke in his X-Wing shooting the Death Star away
-The Battle of Hoth
-Han and Leia arguing and flirting each other trying to get the Falcon working again lol.....and they finally kiss :D.
-Yoda a smallest of creature uses the Force to carry up Luke's X-Wing.
-Luke vs. Darth in ROTJ when you see him slowly giving into the force

from the prequels
-The fight between Obi and Qin vs. Darth Maul
-at the end of Clones we see the stormtroopers which looked like a parallel with Hitler

[Jedi_Lana07]

Summers, what do you mean by it parrellel with Hitler?

But anyway, my favorite uniforms from the Star Wars serious are of the Rebel troops on the transport ship of the very first made Star Wars.

[Summers]

Originally posted by Jedi_Lana07

Lucas actually used Hitler's rise to power in Germany as a parallel to Palptine's rise to power. The Republic and Germany were on hard times, and both(Palptine and Hitler) used it to their advantage to rise to power. Either by scapegoating, or finding loopholes. In fact, Hitler's men were sometimes called Stormtroopers. In Attack of the Clones the only thing I found interesting was the historical parallel Lucas was doing with Palptine's character.

Just looking at the stormtroopers marched looked just like Hitler's stormtroopers in the early 1940s.

[nakofan64]

I never saw that before....great metaphor there...thanks.

[Summers]

:D Thanks nakofan64

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but the Jedi Knights reminded me of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table except with different types of swords lol.

[Jedi_Lana07]

Oh o.k, well thanks for the metaphor.

[Disco]

The whole governmental issue with Star Wars is interesting. I went to the main SW site and checked out their data bank. I know understand everything about the Trade Federation, the attack on Naboo, Queen Amidala's role, Count Dooku and his Separatists movement which resulted in the Clone Wars taking place and how it ended up giving more power to Palpatine.

Of course most of Palpatines rise to power happens in Episode III. Should be interesting to watch and see how he evolves into the Emperor.

[Summers]

He's like the SW's Furor.....I wonder if they will salute him :eek:

[Unbreakable Lex]

Palpatine's power came the moment he squeezed his way on to Princess Amidala's congressional seat and then getting Jar Jar into the Senate.

[Summers]

I'm going with once he made the congressional seat because then he had easier contact with the Trade Federation. Since he basically set up the Federation attack on Naboo. Wasnt he a hologram projector or something? I havent seen EP1 in a while.

[Unbreakable Lex]

He was always a senator.

But he got Jar Jar to vote no confidence and give him full control.

So getting the senate job in the first place was his first step.

He had to get in the Republic somehow. My opinion.

[Summers]

oh, I agree once he became a government official he had a way to get into power. Plus I wouldnt be surprised the whole Republic were weak minded fools since Palpatine has the Force.

[Unbreakable Lex]

See Jar Jar.

:lol:

[Jedi_Lana07]

I agree, Jar Jar is one of many weak minded fools. Hey has anyone played Star Wars Battlefront? I did, I rented it from Blockbuster. I played as clone trooper, a rebel soldier, a stormtrooper, and a rebel vanguard. Battlefront is a great game, my favorite level is Hoth and Tatoonine.

[elfstone2087]

I have it and I would have to agree with you on the levels.

[Disco]

Ah... I have educated myself and can answer your question.

It was actually Darth Sidius who tricked the Neimoidians into making a blockade on Naboo. He's also the one in the hologram.

Palpatine only became powerful during the time of the Clone Wars. By that time his term was up the Separatists were forming their droid army so Palpatine was reinstated in order to help fight by okaying the go ahead to build a republic army.... the Clones which in fact were already being created secretly by a former Jedi.

Once the Clone Wars started all power was given to Palpatine by the Senate and public hoping that he would defeat the Separatists. He then started using this power to write up new amendments to their constitution which in return gave him even more power. Nobody questioned his ability since the Republic was winning the Clone Wars...... except the Jedi's. Once the Senate started noticing that the Jedi's wouldn't follow Palpatines order they started having misgivings about making him the leader. Of course by now Palpatine was enjoying his role as a ruler and wanted to keep his status... thus he demolished the Jedi's.

[Unbreakable Lex]

Right, Sidius is Palpatine.

;)

[Disco]

Nobody knows for sure but it's everyone's guess that they are in fact the same person. It also helps that the two are played by the same person.

honestly, the first moment I saw Sidious it had to be Palpatine because of the way they set up the government in the SW universe. Plus it all just made sense. Plus the name Sidious allows Palpatine to hide from curious Jedi.

Hate Jar Jar... by far the worst character in the movies. Can't understand a single word he says.

[Summers]

lol, crazy thing I can.

hey, did you guys here about Kenny Baker(R2D2) got a DUI? I heard it on the radio. I wonder if it was true.

[Disco]

really... i guess all that time stuffed into a little droid can do that to you. at least there were some scenes in which R2 was remote controlled.

:p

[Summers]

lol....talk about relying on other people. I would be thinking if I fall over I'm blaming the guy on the remote.

[Snake_Corda]

The thought that Jar Jar was given complete control of a vote in the Senate and that his vote leveraged Palpatine's control...my brain melted. I had this image that for this scene, George Lucas has this huge dartboard with multiple scenarios. He blindfolds himself and just lets loose.

[Jedi_Lana07]

I'm hoping that the third movies would explain the gaps that the other five movies left. I can't wait until the third movie is released, hey guys when will the third movies come out? Just curious.

[Disco]

May 19 :D

Its the first movie I'm seeing on my summer list of movies :D.

That was the point to Jar Jar. Palpatine/Sidious needed someone of very weak mind to be able to declare "no confidence". So in short, we can blame Jar Jar for more then annoyance. :lol:

[Disco]

Have a curious question.

Only certain people can be Jedi's and it takes a lot of training to be one with the Force.

What about the Siths? How did Palpy aquire the ability to shoot electricity from his hands??

[Unbreakable Lex]

I think there isn't much difference between Sith and Jedi other then what they do with the force.

To be either, you have to be one with the force, it must be strong in you. Anikan just so happened to be the strongest ever with the force.

There has to be two Sith's. Sidious had Maul, Dooku (i don't think is technically a Sith Lord, perhaps Grevious) and then Vador. Maul was killed so he used Dooku to lure the best thing and probably easiest to convince, Anakin.

But in short, Sith and Jedi are the same in a way, one with the dark side, the other with the bright side. Since there are always two sith's they tend to be more powerful then the average Jedi.

Take in account Sidious and Vador (most powerful Jedi).

[Summers]

they have high metacolorines in their blood that enable them to have the Force. Remember in EP 1 we see Qin take blood from little Anakin to see his metacolorine count, and Ani's was off the scale. It has to do what's in your blood. Palpy has a lot of it.

lol, I guess I took the biological route to answer that question lol.

[Disco]

I wonder if epi 3 will go into how Palpy acquires his dark side strength.

[Summers]

with Lucas I would assume they would by giving a little bit more backstory on Palpatine because in the originals we know very little of the Emperor's background.

[Disco]

right... we never even knew his real name.

[Unbreakable Lex]

I'd like to hear the story of the Sith's. I think Palpatine tells Vador the story.

We learn of how Sidious killed his master

[Disco]

Only 2 1/2 more months!!!

[Summers]

we can do it. Once the merchanise comes out I cant help but to buy lol.

[Snake_Corda]

yeah well this time...i hope not to get the movie ruined...TWICE...by obnoxious people around me....Episode 2 still remains the only time a person has put there feet on the back of my chair and pushed forward as hard as they could because they couldn't stand the wait...

[Summers]

omg, that would be annoying. Out of curiousity was this an adult or a child that did this?

[axisoftime]

Darth Vader is coming to the OC.The new trailer for the 'Revenge of the Sith' will premiere March 10th during the OC.Then it will be in theaters starting March 11th.

[Summers]

well, that's one way for people to tune into the O.C.....to bad the WB didnt get :(.

[BuZzArD 8012]

I'm planning on waiting at least 2 weeks before seeing it. Hoping to catch a showing during the day when there would be less people in the theatre.

[Summers]

I dont know how you can wait that long Disco. That long would kill me, but I planning on going to the less crowded theatre in town :).

[Disco]

it would be hard.... but worth the extra 2 week wait :D

[Summers]

true unless school's out by then where you live. That's the one thing I dont like because even in the matinees the kids are still there. Primarly the punky kid.

[Unbreakable Lex]

Well the DC area has like 95000 screens in the area, matinees are usually a safe bet to catch a flick alone.
