Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

[DDMAN26]

Definitely openiing night for me. If I were to rank the films as of right now of course:

1. Empire Strikes Back-Not only the greatest sequel of all-time, but one of the five best movies ever.

2. A New Hope-It's very close in my mind to Empire. Still a thrill to watch everytime.

3A.-Return of the Jedi
3B-Attack of the Clones

Both films had terrific moments. Jedi-the climatic space battle, the Luke/Vader/Emperor conflict. Clones-Obi-Wan on Kamino, the last 45 minutes.
But both had equally bad moments. Jedi-Jabba's Palace and the Ewoks. Clones-the whole love story angle.

5. Phantom Menace-Not the abomination that everyone makes it out to be. But certainly a weak movie.

[lord-of-sith]

A while ago, I created a thread where we all ranked them, but it's hard for me to rank them, so I'll just give my thoughts on each of them.

1. The Phantom Menace- Even though I would rank this probably as my least favorite, it's not a bad movie. I remember seeing it in 1999 and being wowed away. But since then, I have seen its faults. It does seem like a kiddy flick as has been said. But, I really liked Darth Maul, and the Jedi fight at the end. I thought the Pod Race was boring, and so every time I watch the DVD, I proudly chapter-skip over it.

2. Attack of the Clones- This was quite a step up from TPM as far as me liking it. And the biggest problem I found in this one was, you guessed it, the dialouge. I wish Lucas had showed these lines to somebody before shooting because I think any given person at this forum could write better dialouge. But, I really like this one. Often, I will plop it in my DVD player and enjoy the last 45 minutes with pleasure. And the big thing with this one is that it introduced my as-of-now favorite Star Wars character. Count Dooku. Christopher Lee is a fantastic actor and I really liked the character. The Yoda fight was the highlight for me. Also Ian McDiarmid did a wonderful job as Palpatine.

3. Revenge of the Sith- Since this isn't out yet, I'll just rate the trailers. So far, the trailers have been incredible! Sidious/Palpatine looks like he's going to bee kicking some serious butt in this one.

4. A New Hope- This one is a classic, no question. It was the one that started this craze that has lasted for 30 years. It mabey slow at times, but never the less, I get pumped every time I watch it.

5. The Empire Strikes Back- This is also a classic. One of the very, very few sequels that were better than the original (The only ones I can think of right now are the HP films that continue to top themselves.) Plus, the "I am your father" twist is great. Lets hope for a very similar twist in ROTS. coughDOOKUcough.

6. Return of the Jedi- I just plain love this film. It's only flaw were the Ewoks. I love the climax. And Ian McDiarmid gives a wonderful preformance as usual. He was born to play this part!

So, in all, Evey Star Wars film has it's flaws, and triumphs.

I am asamed but i admit that Jar-Jar is one of my favorite Star Wars characters

I'll catch a matinee or wait for the DVD. I wasn't that big of a fan of the first two, but the pictures and trailer do look promising.

I'll definetly be there opening night because it comes out on my BIRTHDAY!

[BrandonH]

I'm there on opening night!

For all of you who have not liked Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, this movie could change your mind a little bit. Certain bits of those two movies have some resonance with the story in Revenge of the Sith.

Overall, I cannot imagine a better way to end the saga. Not only is it a fantastic tale in its own right, but it also functions well as a "bridge movie."

NOTE: These are my reactions after reading Stover's novelization. Actual thoughts could vary, depending on how Lucas' vision is realized on screen.

[lord-of-sith]

Forget the novelization, this became the best Star Wars movie when I heard the following things:

1. Emperor Palpatine lightsaber fights Yoda in the Senate chamber, then resorts to throwing senate pods at him.

2. Obi-Wan lightsaber fights Anakin on a lava planet.

3. Jar-Jar's part is smaller than in episode II

4. Count Dooku fights Obi-Wan and Anakin at the same time.

5. Emperor Palpatine fights three Jedi and Mace Windu all at the same time.

[anger is pointless]

i cant wait my dads gonna take me to see it on my birthday yay

[MutantEnemy]

I Love Star Wars, 42 days until it opens, feels like forever, I'll probably see it on May 20!!!

[lord-of-sith]

i cant wait my dads gonna take me to see it on my birthday yay

When's your birthday?

[Disneykid]

I may see this opening night (I did with Episode II, anyway). I'm fairly sure that this will be the best of the prequels, though how it'll rank in the overall series remains to be seen. This is how I rank them:

1. A New Hope (Yeah, I'm one of the few who likes it more than Empire)
2. The Empire Strikes Back
3. Return of the Jedi
4. Attack of the Clones
5. The Phantom Menace (Unlike most people, though, I quite like it)

So, for me, the originals descend as they go along while the prequels ascend, hence why I'm confident Revenge of the Sith will be the best of the new trilogy.

[TaleAsOldAsTime]

definately opening night.

I personally did not think episode 1 was bad, i really enjoyed. Episode 2 i liked, but i felt it didn't really capture the "star wars" feeling if you know what i mean, but yeah definately seeing this one opening night

[Maerj]

You can look it up at either site, its PG-13! Woohoo!

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith (2005)
Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp.
PG-13 Rated PG-13 for sci-fi violence and some intense images.

[castleinthesky]

I will probably see it in a matinee some weeks after it comes out. There might be a chance I'll see it right when it comes out, but that probably won't occur.

Boy do I feel embaraced. I have never seen Star Wars 4-6 in their full extent.

But of 1 and 2, I like 1 better.

[Luna]

I'm going to see it opening night if I can....My brothers are huge Star Wars fans,and I know I can go with one of them(unless I'm working late that night)...If not,I'll end up going eventually...

[lord-of-sith]

Actually, I just found out that I might (although it's a very slim chance) that I might see it on the 19th, but we'll see.

[Loomis]

I've bought tickets, but for the first weekend (the Saturday night).

I have special seats in a boxed off balcony section down at Fox studios. They call it La Premiere, and it is basically fancy overpriced seating but who cares. You get lounge-style seating, unlimited popcorn and soda and access to a bar.

So it is sweet bourbon and dry and a couple of Sith on a Saturday night. Who could ask for anything more?

[BrandonH]

I've got tickets for a 12:05 AM showing on opening day. This will be the last first time, so I am doing everything I can to make it a special one. I invited another crazed (but respectful) fan to go with me, and we're going to Tucson's best theater.

[Isidour]

Little question here!

It´s ggoing to be the same oppening date to the whole world or just US?

[indianajdp]

We won't see it opening night or weekend, but we'll certainly get there eventually. I'm not a big fan of these recent installments, though.
