Star Wars Episode III Pre-Review

Today, I watched the most recent trailer for Star Wars Episode III.

My review of a film that has not yet come out is as follows:

Oh, well.

I mean, we already KNOW what's going to happen. It's just a question of HOW it happens. I thought the first trailer was good, especially the way they eerily introduce Darth Vader: (a meek disembodied voice): "Yes master?" (the voice from the pit of hell): "RISE!" And then we see Vader, shackled, mechanical. I felt this weird sense of feeling sorry for him, and yet a bit scared of him. He looks so ugly, and we already know what happens once he's unleashed. I think the reason people aren't as excited about episodes 1-3 is that Lucas is just explaining history. In episodes 4-6 he takes you on Luke's personal journey of discovery. There are all these references in 4-6 that he feels he needs to explain in 1-3 so "it all makes sense". What I've wondered is whether we discover that Luke and Anakin were both given the same tests by the Emperor, and that Anakin failed, and Luke passed. Also, they've GOTTA show Han Solo winning the Millenium Falcon from Lando Calrissian, and making the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs. :) March 13, 2005 1:38 AM

I mean, how do you turn Anakin of Ep.2 into Darth Vader of Ep. 4 in a single movie? It almost deserves another three movies. On the other hand, I don't think even the most die-hard Star Wars fan would be able to stand sitting through another three movies worth of Lucas' god-awful dialog and cheesy characters just to pad the movie out to something where you can actually give the story justice. Sure, I'll watch the next movie, but I think I'm just a glutton for punishment... March 14, 2005 2:58 AM

	Kull the Valusian said: To Mark Miller... ...the tale about Han winning the Falcon from Lando Calrissian and the 'infamous' kessel run in less than 12 parsecs have already been told in the novel trilogy from A.C. Crispin -Paradise Snare -Hutt Gambit -Rebel Dawn Said from a person who LOVES the Star Wars movies with the same passion with which he HATES almost all of the 'expanded universe' products (novels and comics...loads of crap for the 99.999999999__%) they can aspire to the title of the FINEST Star Wars novels so far...that novelist chick actually did deep research into the SW universe and explained all in a very convincing way (YES! Even the 'impossible' Kessel run...). To Dean Harding...I guess your comprehension of Campbell's works on mythology and epic, of Bergson's doctine of the 'elan vital' and of zen philosophy is much better than Lucas' too, right? So why don't you go out filming YOUR OWN blockbusting Space Opera Esalogy??? Oh, I forgot you're just a 12 years old typing your keys in anger from your parents' basement. Kull the Valusian.
