Whole Lotta STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH Goodness!!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Hey folks, Harry here - if you follow that link below - you're in for a ton of major spoilerage. Tons of great stuff - in the best tradition that T-Bone dishes out and has dished out for eons! Here ya go...
Hey guys,
TBone has some photos up on his spoiler filled blog, including a shot
of the Coruscant skyline that could hit people (particularly
Americans) like a ton of bricks in the theater. You just have to see
it.
Lots of spoilers info in there so tell people to be wary...

Has anyone seen this picture yet, of the Jedi Temple burning? http://img214.exs.cx/img214/4458/jeditempleburning012bp.jpg - It looks awesome - it's reminiscent of 9/11, somewhat. Probably intentional?
-
where?
-
Don't tell me McCallum is gonna have a cameo as a character named Flambo Bungsaddle or something.

post a story, dammit!

Distracting us by posting jedi porn won't work. This site still looks like ass.

Well, my desire to see the film is steadily increasing and these pics are warming me up nicely. I almost feel like this is the only "big" movie happening this summer... it's weird... everything seems so quiet... like a calm before the storm. I think I've had my fill of spoilers now... I think I can close up and await the trailers and then to the theater I go. Great pics, by the way... I really like the aesthetics and the dark tone. I hope this is good. PS: I am looking forward to seeing what George is planning next... apparently he'll be going back to his THX 1138 roots of experimental film... strangely, I am looking forward to seeing that (and for some reason, due to recent showings on TV, I have really started liking "Howard the Duck"...). Do I need help now? =P
-
Well worth the wait. For the first time since the Ep 3 hype train began I'm actually looking forward to this.
-
although completely unneccessary for a robot looks very cool. The third pic with him just standing there looks as shite as the other released Grievous pics.
-
And with the new trailer arriving in March... This could be the best, next to Empire.
-
...isn't Grievous, though, is it? The droid in the first and third pic look nothing alike.
-
WHERE ARE THE EWOKS????? ARE WE NOT GOING TO GET A BUCH OF MACHINES BROUGHT DOWN BY A BUNCH OF TEDDY RUXPINS???? ...And thus, waiting for Lucas' other shoe to drop! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!
-
reminds me of that Robota trailer from Doug Chiang we saw a few years back. And yea, its not Grievous, according to the site linked in the article its one of Grievous's Magna Droids, though I have no idea what a Magna droid is or does, but there you go.
-
I can't believe Yoda is going to get his arse kicked by Sideous, I kinda feel sorry for the little rascal. I always thought that he was unbeatable, what with lifting X-Wings out of Swamps, munching on cereal bars, and cooking up grey soup. I just hope that when you watch 'Sith' you actually care about what happens to the characters, like you do in 'Empire', or else its all for nothing, just a great looking video game. Good to see this site finally getting a new look, keep it up!
-
Dunno who it is, but it sure as shit ain't Big G - it's probably G's right-hand man. The pic of Anakin standing over Dooku is fantastic though - where the hell does this guy get this stuff from, and why hasn't Lucasfilm pulled them down yet? I'm still trying to remain as spoiler-free as possible, but I couldn't resist this. Did you see the pic of Lucas as Papa Nerd? Good grief, that man is portly!!
-
At this point, with all I've heard and seen of the upcoming movie, I'd have to say flat out that the Lucas bashers are starting to sound like complete fags. This movie has a dark and almost sinister tone, there was a Variety article a couple of weeks ago where Lucas said that even at it's most toned dow and heavily edited, parents should be warned that this movie is too disturbing and at some times brutal for young children to watch. ***SPOILERS**** I don't care if the dialogue is overdubbed by the Muppets, in 3 months you're going to get to see a Star Wars movie where the main character *murders* half the cast of the movie. This movie is morbid from start to finish...

by barrelrider
Because these films look magnificent on a big screen, crappy dialogue or not. Just by the by, do we think that is a shot of Yoda navigating his was through an asteroid field using only the power of the Force? That would be pretty cool, but haven't they overdone the asteroid field thing a bit now?
-
Funny how you trash people for wanting to see this and yet you can't keep from commenting on it. Wouldn't that mean that you haven't learned enough to completely stay away from a movie you are sure is worthless? Oh and of course you will go see it in the theatre. You, like most bashers, are full of shit.

C'mon, Yoda! MOVE IT!!! Man's gotta go!!!

Is so gay. In every sense.
-
Admittedly, this is one I've been waiting for - the turn of Anakin to Vader. It's just too bad it took two clumsy efforts to get us here. The story feels as if it fits better into the whole Greek Mythos of the original trilogy. That and more fighting.

Lucas finally shows some balls, plundering 9-11 for emotionally
by thewoodman
If he keeps this as tight & focused as it seems so far, "Revenge of the Sith" might not only make up for the last three debacles, but be a legitimate great in its own right. Remember, George: 1) Anakin goes bad & becomes Vader. 2) Palpatine reveals himself, destroys the Jedi, and takes over the Galaxy. 3) Obi-Wan & Yoda grab the newborn Luke & Leia and go into hiding. THAT'S IT. That's the story that's been 30 years in the making. Leave out the pointless sub-plots (or is that sub-plotz?), and swap out the painfully cheesy dialog for violence, horror, and disaster... you'll have the fans lined up around the block, just like in 1977.
-
Surely even those of you who are wishing failure on this film and this franchise, have to be secretly rooting for this one to be the redeemer. This feeling of Lucas schadenfreude isn't shared by me.
-
that 9/11-style image of the smoke is quite depressing.

I can't understand the mentality of Star Wars fans that trawl the intrawebogram for images of every scene in the film. Do you not want to see the film in the way cinema is supposed to be seen? Not knowing what's going to happen next?

...about all the preview images and leaked plot points of this prequel indicating it will be head and shoulders above the other two storywise and might have some dyed-in-the-wool Lucas haters acting all warm, fuzzy and forgiving come opening day. But your "fag" remark undermines the sense you seem to make. Grow the fuck up and come to terms with your repressed homosexuality. Then you might be capable of contributing meaningfully to a discussion of sci fi movie aesthetics.

Just wondering...

Why can't they bring back the puppet one? Or is he gonna do more backflips and fighting in this one too?!

Bored senseless by the last two, but I've been sucked back into being hyped for this one. Really, this is the only film Lucas really ever had in mind, the other two were just bloated plot points since Lucas wanted another trilogy, so maybe this is the one he'll make right.

To hype up the Toy Fair starting Sunday in NYC, Sideshow Collectibles is previewing their 1/4 scale Vader for newsletter subscribers only. And since I happen to be a subscriber, here is the link: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=023305vader Pre-orders are supposed to start at noon Friday - so bookmark that link if you are the least bit interested because it will definitely sell out fast! (I'm an avid Sideshow Freak, as if you couldn't tell ;-) Started with the LOTR stuff and just recently realised that they had other geeky goodness too! I hardly post on this site, but now that the TBs are going to go to a more user-friendly mode, I figure I will start posting more often. I do love reading all the TBs though - great for a laugh.

It looks like Episode III is going to more than make up for TPM
by lost skeleton
I like what I am seeing and after reading the spoilers...I love how the story is involved and dark...No way this thing gets any rating less than PG-13. Of course, the quality of the movie lies in the execution. Although I am in the Matrix camp, I want Episode III to be a success that enhances the quality of the original triology! Fingers crossed!
-
If you notice, the cape bears pronged stripes on several spots. These look exactly like the "pronged stripe" cutouts extending upward from the eyes on Grievous' helmet. The adorned cape could be a symbol of their allegiance to Grievous, much like the Uruk-Hai carrying flags and wearing armor bearing the white hand of Saruman.
-
Those cape wearin' droids are General Grievous' bodyguards.

by orionsangels
I don't know if that was Lucas intention all along, to start kiddie than end with evil violence and scare the kiddies away. I can't believe how many limbs get chopped off in ROTS lol
-
They give the character validity, life if you will. I care about the characters in the clone wars cartoons. Attack of the clones seemed different after watching the cartoon. It's like we get to see these cartoon characters in live action form and they're characters we know better, what they've been through and how they got to where they are. Along with better acting. So watching the prequels starting from AOTC to ROTS. It's like watching old friends. Lucas owes a lot to Genndy Tartakovsky.
-
And he was mostly robot. He wore it cause it looked badass. Greivous is a dumb idea tho. Just another disposable Darth Maul dude.

I'm loving people ragging the fact that a robot is wearing a cape. For God's sake, are you really looking for logic in a Star Wars movie? Star Wars??? It's about outer space green dudes, laser swords, and giant slugs who like dressing human females in bikinis!!! And you're looking for the logic of a ROBOT wearing a cape. You know what? just settle back in the chair and have a good time for a few hours. You can worry about things like paying rent when you're done...
Also, if you don't know already: the entire Star Wars saga started when Lucas decided he wanted to make a new sci-fi, Flash Gordon-y space flick, for the kids. Many design elements of the SW Saga are lifted from Flash Gordon. Dudes wore capes in Flash Gordon for no good reason, so there you go -

NEW RULE: People who knock TPM for being childish just don't get
by bill maher
Go watch "The Searchers", which was a huge influence on George Lucas. Half the movie revolves around Ethan Edwards' obsession with finding and killing his niece who was abducted by Injuns. The other half is about his sidekick Martin Pauley and his harebrained courting of the Jorgensen's daughter. Why is part of the story so dark and serious while the rest is so goofy and corny? Was John Ford a "hack"? FUCK NO! Without the goofy cornball scenes like the wedding, "The Searchers" is one big downer. Without the goofy antics of Jar Jar, the cringeworthy courtship of Anakin and Padme, without the pod races, the "Roger-Roger" robots, and the other silly stuff, the prequels are an even bigger downer. If you want six hours or more on nonstop depression, watch a Bergman film or listen to the Moody Blues albums of the late sixties/ early seventies.

by tarl_cabot
Sheesh...Let's let the man tell his story as he concieved it 30 years ago before 9-11-even if it has been a tremendous dissapointment thus far...I really want this film to kick ass.If it does I'll be happy to buy it and just own 4 Star Wars films...I'll pretend the other two never happend.
-
Yup, some of us have jobs you know... And I like the look of the site, it shows Harry's evolving sensibility. Ergo, did Michael Bay have anything to do with the make over? And why the F should a droid wear a cape?
-
Not for my sake, because I don't mind the prequels.. but for everyone out there who feels that they have been hurt by the last two.. I want the to feel some redemption for actually investing the time and money to watch movies who they feel are not worth the time or money. I don't want them to just finally come out of a Star Wars (prequel) movie saying "Now THAT was worth the price of admission" I want them to think (if only in secret) that the movie was worth the last two movies... I hope you all enjoy it. By the way, here are some banners for the film.. http://www.canalpop.net/news/5921/ check it out...
