And we've had 2 movies come out since then. Just because you don't want to acknowledge these movies, doesn't mean they aren't real.

Okay, for like the fifth time. . . Or, in other words: A properly trained Jedi is mindful of keeping the Force in balance. He does not affect the balance of the Force. We're not talking about the number of Force users on each side, but how the Force is used. In other words, you're still wrong. The Jedi put the Force out of balance as well. No matter how much you don't want the Prequels to be real, they are.

The Empire Strikes Back did very poorly in its critical reviews. They hated it. Now its widely considered to be the best film of the Saga. Go figure.

BTW, Star Wars is number 2 all time in adjusted dollars. Number 1 is actually Gone With the Wind.

Or, it could be what George Lucas said it was. That reference by Palpatine doesn't have to have any relation to Anakin's birth. Now, I could see the need to assign it that meaning if it had been mentioned with no obvious purpose. But it already serves as the plot device that motivates Anakin to consider the Dark Side. It doesn't need to serve two purposes. And, according to Lucas, it doesn't. I have to agree with you here, but its too late. They'll debate this 5 ways to Sunday no matter what anyone says.

You forgot the part about challenging the poster's sexuality.

Of course, this doesn't account for inflation. The original film made 1.1 billion domestically in adjusted dollars. In pure ticket sales, we've never seen anything like it since.

A very accurate statement.

I think its pretty safe to say Hurin has ruined this thread for everyone wanting to discuss Episode III. Good job.

They can't hear ya, March, they have their fingers in their ears.

You do realize three Star Wars movies have come out since RotJ, right?

Uh, I may be wrong, but I think it takes place between III and IV. H I maybe wrong too... i could be confusing other projects like the clone wars cartoon to the TV series... In any case I tried to avoid anything to SW prior to seeing this movie. I read the Kevin Smith and Mark Hammil article by chance and I couldn't stop reading...but I skimmed over it... no self-control It takes place between III and IV. This has been confirmed.

There is nothing about Macross 7 worth sitting through 52 episodes for.

Forget it, he's rolling

Actually, I believe I called you a "fanboy".

Why do you come here, Hurin? To NOT discuss Macross? Ohhh, we are discussing a plot point! That makes us geeks! No more discussing Star Wars, folks! Only geeks do that! We must post this in the Macross section, so all non-geeks know not to discuss anything about Macross. So tell us, Hurin, what can us non-geeks discuss? Maybe we need a world affairs forum, or maybe a sports forum on MacrossWorld. Maybe a forum dedicated to cars, and another for hot women. How about a hardware forum? Manly, non-geek stuff.

The thing is, it doesn't come off as a 2 1/2 hour movie. It flies by, and by the time it was over I had to check my watch, I couldn't believe that much time went by.

Sure there is, but you aren't fooling me into believing that you can see some "gray area" here. You can't have an open discussion with Prequel Hater/Raped Childhood fans. They've entered into the same twisted reality inhabited by women who show up for jury duty dressed up as a Federation officer and people who get married with the vows in Klingon. Its a movie, its not real!

What gets me is ask any fan after seeing the movie, and ask them about not seeing Qui Gon. Is there anyone who doesn't agree having him appear at the end wouldn't have gotten the biggest applause of the entire film?

Hey, let's not forget how God awful Mark Hamill was in the original trilogy, especially in Jedi. His performance in Jedi is probably one of the all time great wooden performances ever. Harrison Ford mailed in that movie, too. Who whines more... Luke in ANH or Anakin in AoTC?

Classic, you just made my "Awesome People" list. Using The Duke's favorite Star Wars line earns big points with The Duke. The Qui Gon scene is not in the shooting script, but from what I understand its in the book. Neeson had agreed to record audio for Episode II, but it turned out they were able to rework audio from Episode I for the lines they needed. So, who is to say if George even asked him to be in III?

Holy shite, I completely agree with you again.

Sound like us Red Sox fans...... Except when Red Sox fans get what they want, they still bitch bitch bitch about it.

You know what's going to be funny... the PS2 will be outselling the Xbox 360 when its released.
