Star Wars fans the world over groan in disgust

It has been confirmed by Lucas himself. Nsync will be in Episode II. They are filling in as Jedi extras. They will have very little screen time, no speaking parts and will hopefully die.

Lucas is the devil....and lord of the rings is just a rip off of star wars if you think about it, but lord of the rings was a decent movie....the only thing that prevented it from being good was closure. I need closure for a movie to be super good, and that movie SO lacked it

[headcase]

It's a planned part of a trilogy, if there was closure it would give people less of a reason to see the following two movies.

LOTR was written in 1937 so how could it be a rip off of star wars. If anything Lucas was influenced by Tolkein.
But yes I to think Lucas has gone nuts. My respect for him has been declining ever since I saw episode 1.

[Miscue]

Dude. If that's for real, I've lost all respect for Lucas... what a turd-burgler.

[wyn1370]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

But why wait for the movie to wish for them to assume ambient air temperature (die)?

Agreed... it is NOT a rip-off of Star Wars.. and not by a long shot.

And I agree with wyn1370ThePatriot

LOL You are joking right? (now elaborating on what headcase

???

That is just freaking sad. And "Attack of the Clones"??? What kind of name is that? But I have to disagree with one thing. I liked episode one the best. It may have had a weak plot, but the action was a lot higher and in greater quantities and that's all it takes to hold my attention, action is where the original trilogy was lacking.

Did Shartley actually agree with me. Where is the AO historian when you need him.

Back to LOTR. Tolkien had origanally written the trilogy as one book. He was convinced into breaking it into a trilogy by the publisher. If you read FOTR you will see how the book just seems to stop in mid story. It was never written to be broken up and has to be looked at as a whole.

But back to the point of the post. This is the biggest disappointment since Jar Jar. I will still go see the movie. But as time goes on I begin to look at the TRILOGY and Episode 1,2,3 as totally seperate things.

[FooTemps]

Horrible... I can't believe Lucas could go to that level...

[ThePatriot]

Ok, ok, i did not know LOTR was written before star wars, i am sorry for that one, and i know its a trilogy but it still pissed me off that there wasnt any closure, there will be closure....in 2 years. The movie people are evil, plus they had to break it up...whos gonna sit through a 9 hour movie anyway, LOTR kind of dragged on towards the end anyway...imagine 9 hours

For what it's worth, the next LOTR movie will be in theaters this coming summer. They actually shot all 3 movies at the same time and will be releasing them in 6 month intervals... So you don't have to wait too long to find out what happens next... But in the mean time you could always read the books.

nope, they are comming out in the christmas season 2002 and 2003.

Oh, sorry. My mistake.... I thought 6 months sounded rather soon... A year apart certainly makes more sense.
