Pics from SW: Episode III

Exactly... I just don't see this whiney punk kid becoming the killing machine that is Vader we see in the beginnng of Episode 4.

All of the complaints about Ani and "THIS is what Vader began as!?!" are forgetting an important part of the canon.

Palpy originally wanted Ani to be his #1 apprentice... But after his defeat at the hands of ob1, he no longer feels Ani/Vader is powerful enough to fill the role. Hence, he will plan on using Vader to get to Ani and Padme's offspring i.e. Luke & later, Leia.

Once he goes in the suit, Palpy no longer plans on him being numero uno. He's just another henchman.

Luke is the chosen one, not Anikan. Luke, if he had fallen, would have become #1 guy to Palpy. Not Vader.

Hayden does look a LOT like Luke in the third movie, from the pics.

And also, as someone quoted I believe, a lot of people think Hayden played a terrible Anakin, but Lucas has said whoever thinks that just doesn't like the character, because in his mind Hayden played the character he imagined perfectly.

Yeah, but Lucas is certifiably nuts now. I mean, I'm pretty sure that Ed Wood was happy with all the acting in his movies too. I'm not upset with how whiney Anakin is, it fits with the character. I'm talking about a complete lack of acting talent. We're talking Stallone in "Cobra" here. Hayden made Keanu Reeves look like Sir Richard Burton by comparison.

And yes, George will continue to get my money. Love him or hate him, few movies play as well on a 70" TV and a kick'n sound system like one of his movies.

NNNOOOOOO!!!!

now i know the ending of a movie of a story that we've already heard the ending too before.

NNNOOOOOO!!!!!

I dunno, i like star wars and all, but i think it's just been a little over done, with like a million different games where all they change is the location and the charactors. 1000 bazillion collectables for the comic book store guys to drool over, and now a 6th movie to finally complete the story which we already knew the plot of 10+ years ago.

Lots of spoilers here:

That site, supershadow.com has all sorts of info on the ROTS. It has a ton of questions answered by lucas. One of the questions he answered he mentioned a tv series. He was talking about episodes 10-12. I didn't even know he was thinking of them. It's also got some rough stories of what episodes 7-9 might be. He says 10-12 take place 10000 years in the future, and it's all new characters.

You're correct, to an extent. Palpatine sees Vader's "weakness" in succumbing to Obi-Wan, but he is unaware of Anakin's children until ESB, when he starts planning for Luke to replace Vader. Palpatine knows that Vader is powerful and that's why he turns him and has him eventually wipe out the Jedi. We won't see all of the Jedi die in Ep. 3--this is a process that spans 20+ years.
Contrary to many opinions, Luke is actually the "chosen one" from the Jedi prophecy of old. He is the one who ultimately brings balance to the Force and restores the Jedi Order.

I still disagree with this. The way I see it, Vader is the one who "balances" the force. Until him there were an overwhelming number of Light Jedi, and few Dark Jedi. After he slaughters most of the Jedi, very few are left, in fact, we are only really shown 2 in the movies (Obi-Wan and Yoda), which is perfectly balanced with the 2 Dark Side masters (Vader and Palpatine).

So, IMO, Vader is the one who brought balance to the Force, and Luke is just upsetting that balance, albeit back towards the Light Side.

But, that isn't balanced. The dark side is far more powerful. Otherwise, how does Anakin manage to slaughter all those Jedi?

It's actually all pretty basic mythology/theology and used in many Sci-Fi scenarios. The basic idea that good and evil are always battling, but evil really has the advantage and good has to be ever vigilent.

The only difference is the Sith/Jedi take a far more "hands-on" approach compared to most mythological or theological characters.

Perhaps... but than how does Luke manage to compete with a presumedly more experienced Vader later.

cause vader is a crusty old dude in ROTJ

but i still think vader is like 99.9% responsible for bringing balance to the force, and him turning to the dark side caused it. for example, if he had fully followed the jedi ways then he wouldnt have married padme and had kids, so by him disobeying the jedi order, he brought about luke and leia...

and luke didnt exactly defeat vader, he merely held his own for alittle bit until sidious came in and used the lightning on him and blah blah blah, vader threw sidious blah blah blah... so vader was more or less screwed over from sidious when he threw him (lightning going through him and all)... he only had his mechanical hand lopped off by luke. (then again he was more machine than anything, so whatever)

also u have to admit luke used a tiny little fraction of the dark side to help him win, cause he used his anger to lash out at vader and crap... now im just rambling on and on so i'll shut up

[Glickman]

i saved the pictures on another spoiler site, i guess it was taken down, but honestly, im kicking myself now. i just killed the fun of waiting months to see possibly the most anticipated movie in decades...


doesnt waiting suck




we plan on wait on line with lightsabers, and hopfully cut off some hands even before the show
