Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a link over to the good ol' TheForce.Net message boards. It seems TFN's own Josh Griffith has seen a rough cut of Episode 3 and will be posting his review Nov. 1st. Now, on this one I'm letting Harry fill me in on the non-spoiler details... I myself haven't clicked over because I really, really want to know as little as possible about ROTS before I see it. I'm hoping Lucas knocks it outta the park, but I've been stung twice before. I'm hoping that some of my disappointment of the first two prequels stems from knowing almost the whole story before seeing the film. I think I already know too much about Episode 3. My way of thinking is this film, Episode 3, is THE reason to make a prequel trilogy. If he gets this one right, I can forgive the two lackluster prequels. I'd rather a brilliant Episode 3 and flawed Episodes 1 & 2 than brilliant Episodes 1 & 2 and a disappointing Episode 3, if you know what I mean.
I'm told that the TFN's message boards have some real spoilers, so tread carefully or crash on through if you dig that sort of thing. I'll wait for the trailer on THE INCREDIBLES next week for my fix.
Before I hit you with the link over to TFN, I'd like to mention a pair of non-spoilerish bits of info that I've heard is contained in the following link. It seems that Lucas has 2 version of ROTS. A PG version and a PG-13 version, which is what Josh Griffith saw. Now, knowing Lucas we'll see the PG version in theaters and on our first DVD... then in a couple years here comes the "harder" special edition of REVENGE OF THE SITH! Now, that last part is pure speculation on my part, but it sure fits Lucas' track record, don't it? And, apparently, Yoda farts... sigh... Why not go in and add him crapping his pants in EMPIRE STRIKES BACK or add a ripping fart when he dies in JEDI. If you're going to make him a joke, why not go all the way? There you have it for you who don't want massive, massive spoilers.
Anyway, here's the link over to the good stuff. Enjoy while I sit here trying to double cross my fingers until May.
