I so cant wait for this and the "greatest sound effect" is back in good form. (For those who don't get it, James Earl Jones only consider's himself a sound effect).


I just saw the teaser trailer, actually is on my computer right now. I'm very encouraged.

I am going to the Celebration in Indianapolis in April and hopefully this time I can visit founder's row!

Rumor are abound that 7,8 and 9 will also be made.

yes I am a SW geek, moving closer and closer to nerd.

Those pic look sweet. Since I'm a proud Star Wars dork, here are some "theory" about what actually made Anakin turn to the dark side.:

I think that this has the best chance to actually be good for the simple fact that it will show far less of the diploomacy and posturing that was done in the first two to get the Republic where it needed to be to give total control to Palpatine.

I think what happened is that most people, myself included went to these movies ready to see a variation of Ep. 4, 5 and 6. Boy were we disappointed. These movies had a different purpose not action like the originals but more of a drama with some action elements. This leads me to conclude that Lucas started with A New Hope because he knew to start with Phantom Menace he would only be making one movie.

Outside of the cheesy stuff I feel that the movies served their purpose. Lucas should been more proactive in setting everyone straight that the purpose of the first two will be to simply show the diplomatic conditions of the Republic whereas the third will have more of the action elements.

He very well may have said it but I surely missed it.

That is part of the reason why I am seeing the movie tonight. A trailer in the theater beats watching it on a Mac with bad speakers.

You should make that your GC signature.

That trailer makes me want to camp out for this movie NOW, and I always mock the people who camp out for Star Wars movies. I guess this traler will just bring out the Star Wars dork in all of us.

Saw the trailer full screen last night.

The whole audience started CHEERING after it. But I think not everyone knew it was playing because the people next to me let out this huge *gasp* when they saw "Lucasfilm" show up.

But yeah... *happy dance!!!* Sooooo counting down the days.

So, I really LOVE the story in all the episodes. The problem is, the last two have had other bad elements. The casting in Episode I was a huge problem, as the little boy was supposed to look 9, not 5. And Jar Jar was annoying, although he did play an important part in II. And I really did love Episode II. The acting was not excellent, but I've seen both Natalie Portman and Hayden Christianson is other movies, and they were wonderful, so it must have been the director. The story is moving along perfectly, and I love it. Also, I saw the Episode III trailer last night, and it was great. It's all coming together so well!

No, that is not how it happened... It is in the original Star Wars books from 1977...

Also in EP1, they found that high level of "chit" in Anakin's blood--over and above the BEST of the BEST Jedis... So, it sounds like a Sith got busy with Anakin's mother and left her and Anakin to fend for themselves in Mos Eseley, Tattooine...

Obi Wan and his preceptor (Liam Neesom) found the child inadvertantly...

But then, the Evil Emperor is Anakin's Dad--but that's my theory...

Wow. I never thought of that. That's a really cool idea. maybe in Epsiode III will have dialogue like
"Anakin, do you know what happened to your father?"
"I know what happened. You killed him!"
"No Anakin, I am your father!"

I really don't forsee that happening.

Part of the reason that Anikan is so special is because he fulfills a prophesy of the Jedis given thousands of years ago. The prophesy speaks of the One, who will "be of Virgin birth, and will bring balance back to the Force" Anikan brings balance back to the force in Ep. 6, as Vader, when he kills the Emperor, allowing Luke to become the most powerful person in the Force.
