i hope that they dont get caught up in the hype about winning the most goodies at oscars and all that other crap. The plot for episode 2 sounds really really good and I look forward with anticipation to the year 2002

Thanks Moriarty by Brian 2000	Jan 9th, 2001 06:53:44 PM
Its nice to see an insightful look at Episode II on AICN. I share your sense of dismay at the fandomonium, and sense of hope that Episode II brings Star Wars back to the light side of things. "There is unrest in the Galactic Senate" nicely placed Doctor. Sounds like a metaphor for SW fans.
What Harry wrote about the lay of the land with Star Wars fandom by Milktoast	Jan 9th, 2001 06:54:32 PM
Although I was disappointed in Episode I, due to no small part Jar Jar Binks, I get more interested in what Lucas has for this one all the time. I just hope this all gets fun again rather than "fuck Lucas" sentiments and the nonsense rumors. Yeah, Episode I deserves not to be liked, but hopefully this next one will have something more.
Worried? by Hellpop	Jan 9th, 2001 07:06:01 PM
Naaah, I think I am feeling the begining twinges of excitement here again, after a breif loss of faith. The images look beautiful and with so much positive buzz I am anticipating a return to the gretness of the original Holy Triligy. Any bumps in the road can hopefully, I pray to God and George, be smoothed out in the next year.

#2 Can't Stink (pun intended)....for your sake Commander Lucas.. by Richie Vanderlow	Jan 9th, 2001 07:30:24 PM
The Classic Trilogy has a special placein the hearts of "the old guard" fans. Perhaps Unreasonably high expectations where put on Lucas prior to TPM. Lucas is a different person than he was when the original trilogy was released, and I have never bought into the notion that Lucas had the story in his head the whole time. The basics he may have known, but I don't believe he had any idea about Anakin's story prior to making ANH. Episode I has its flaws, and Fandom has resoundingly denounced the Lucas establishment for it. Ok...enough said...Everybody needs to quit being critical and start looking forward. Episode II has to be better, and Uncle George deserves some praise for giving the screenplay reigns to those who are good at dialouge (Thank the maker for Jonathan Hales). I for one am very excited about May 2002. BUT...if Lucas fails to get this one right, fans everywhere will never let him forget it....
Harry's nuts!!! by HarryK69	Jan 9th, 2001 07:39:45 PM

Ewan McGregor knows all by redball77	Jan 9th, 2001 08:12:13 PM
IF you want to know how Episode 2 is going to be, just ask Obi-Wan himself. Ewan was publically disappointed with the first film, partly because of his all-too-brief a role, but he has said recently on a British talk show that the script for this movie is much better than the first one and he truly enjoyed the story this time around. Thats all the evidence I need to hear.
Thank You Moriaty by Jedi 7	Jan 9th, 2001 08:24:50 PM
Thank you Moriaty for reporting about star wars without taking a side, and bashing it.I am waiting for the next one and any info on it is cool.Long Live the Galaxy Far Far Away....
Reality check by Dark Clown	Jan 9th, 2001 08:29:04 PM
I love Star Wars as much as anyone. I was 9 back in 1977 and Star Wars is the main reason I've chosen the career path I have. However, after it's all said and done, good or bad, these are just films. There are powerful mythological tales with the power to inspire and awaken people to broader, mystical concepts, but they're just movies with the PRIMARY intent to ENTERTAIN, while educating. I don't fully understand the zeal that many fans display about these films--or any other popular film. I think it's simply irrational to view any work of art as religous canon or even a lifestyle. With that said, I'm very excited to see what Lucas and the talented crew he's assembled put together for 2002. Everything I've seen to date looks real promising.
Less talk, more action by Darth Taun Taun	Jan 9th, 2001 08:29:14 PM
It seems Lucas spent more than half of Episode I setting up an ass-load of dominos. Here's hoping Episodes II and III spends time knocking them down. I could give a rat's ass about galactic politics or the plight of some backwater planet full of lizard-platypus hybrids. Just show us some straight-up Jedi battles, some dazzling effects, and the blood-soaked death of Jar-Jar, and I'll be happy.
If this is true... (POSSIBLE SPOILER!!!) by Elliot Clock	Jan 9th, 2001 08:32:49 PM
If the rumored scene of Anakin exacting revenge on the mothers and children of a Tusken tribe is in the final film, then Lucas will have completely redeemed himself for any of his missteps from Episode I. This has the potential to be the single most powerful scene of the entire saga and will certainly put to rest any doubts in my mind as to what direction Lucas is taking. The Fellowship of the Ring and Episode II within 5 months of each other. What an awesome Winter and Spring it will be!
"Hasbro Inc. cut 5% of its work force in October, citing slow sa by IAmLegolas	Jan 9th, 2001 09:08:25 PM
Serves you right, Hasbro, for becoming the armpit of the industry and getting your ass continually beat by McFarlane and other companies, design and sales wise. Bring your figures into the new millennium damn it! With the way figures are created and designed nowadays and having the immortal Star Wars license, you should be kicking ass and taking names! Get your act together before Episode II. Figures haven't been for just for kids in a very long time. I have spoken...
Doozer : "We liked their movies when they were all Muppets." by IAmLegolas	Jan 9th, 2001 09:13:45 PM
No no no. We DON'T like muppets. Muppets are only cool on the "Muppet's Show", Yoda and Jabba aside. CGI muppets aren't good either... in Episode I, one of the worst scenes for me was anything shot in the podrace arena. Every alien looked like a reject from "A Bug's Life". I thought I was watching a Disney
George fucked himself by Gustav Niemann	Jan 9th, 2001 09:15:45 PM
George fucked himself by living in a vacuum and having no real outside input into whether what he was writing with Episode One was decent or not. He chose to leave the Director's Guild and to stop dealing with the unions. While sitting around Skywalker ranch smoking weed and writing this shit, he could have even go to people(hell, us even) and gotten some feedback. But it seems he didn't. The real key to the fact that George Lucas fell off? I'll fucking tell you. Episode One was the first Star Wars film to have the alien characters speak in English with North American slang(or else in a racist manner). All the other films had plenty of subtitles or else you didn't know what they were saying. Now with Episode One, you've got a fucking ESPN sportscaster on the podrace! Bullshit. George Lucas fell off. The guy fell off like Rawkus Records. But maybe he'll redeem himself with Episode II. My fingers are crossed.
I pray that Episode 2 is the Star Wars films "new hope". by Darth Ranik	Jan 9th, 2001 09:21:27 PM
For me TPM was a mixed bag, some stuff I loved (Qui-Gon and Darth Maul) other stuff I hated (Jar Jar, half of the dialog, Jar Jar, the two headed announcer, Jar Jar). Ep2 is looking like it is going to rock, but then again I thought only a moron could possibly screew up Ep1. Only time will tell.........

WARNING! Don't trust the word on the script yet by The Hillbrothers	Jan 9th, 2001 09:43:13 PM
Harry and Moriarty read the "script" for TPM before the movie was out, and they liked it, right? Well, I love the visuals in TPM but the film felt lacking in the script department. But the shooting script was not to blame, because in reality there was never a finished version of the script until the movie itself was "finished". What may have read as a cohesive and well-paced story was murdered by Lucas in the editing room. TPM was hacked up and rearranged in post production to the point of losing any dramatic tension or grace it might have had otherwise. So a warning: the supposedly improved screenplay for Ep 2 may well yet suffer at the hands of the Tinkerer. I can already picture Lucas obsessing over effects shots at the expense of perfecting the film's dramatic flow. I bet some of the best dialogue, and some good character developing scenes between Qui-Gon and Obi Wan were chopped out of TPM in favor of JJ Binks cavorting about and blundering into Bantha pudu. Someone posted a few weeks ago with a great point about TPM's narrative weaknesses, citing for example that there was no tension involved in the fact that the characters were stranded on a desert planet with an evil bad-ass intent on murdering the queen bearing right down on them. Did anyone fear that any of the characters were EVER in any danger from Darth Maul, beside Qui-Gon, who we all knew would obligatorially eat it in the end anyway. So in summary, a good script does not equal a good film. I have my hopes up high. Anyone who's paid attention to my infrequent postings will realize that I'm a defender of Star Wars, but I'm highly critical of film in general. LUCAS STILL HAS A YEAR AND A HALF TO ROYALLY FUCK UP WHAT IS AT PRESENT AN ON-TRACK PROJECT. We must have hope. though.
They should do a documantary on SW talkbacks by Twig	Jan 9th, 2001 09:55:54 PM
Call it "Constant Negativity No Matter What". And it hardly matters how episode 2 turns out, cuz the same thing'll happen that happened with TPM. People will hate it before they even see it. I'm confident though that Lucas and co. will deliver ANOTHER great film.
One More Thing...Episode2 will be a family movie i.e. touchy-fee by darthpsychotic	Jan 9th, 2001 09:58:10 PM
Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru during their teens with Father Cliegg Lars and his new wife the former Shmi Skywalker. We are also introduced to Amidala's family, her Mother, Father, and siblings. Also the most asinine "family" Jango Fett(SNL's Mango?) and his young son Boba Fett, who happens not to actually Jango's biological son but a clone, the first clone, of Jango. **************************** ************************** **** Now for the "new" SithLord, played by 78-year-old Christopher Lee. Christopher Lee will play Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus, a ex-jedi who some speculate to be a member of ex-jedi, referred to a "The Lost Twenty". ************************** ************************** ****** darthpsychotic's final thought: Jango Fett(who is just a rehashed character) and Darth Tyrannus are going be the "face" on the Starwars Episode2 product ala DarthMaul? I mean really, Jango is not really a fiece name and Tem Morrison looks like pineapple face Manuel Noriega. Darth Tyrannus is played by a 78-year-old legend who might not live to see Episode2's release. Darth Maul they are not (DarthMaul = fanboy favorite) . The above rheotical questions are one reason Episode2 might disappointing to the same types who were distress with Episode1. Yes I plan to see Episode2 dozens of times. **************************** ************************** ****** darthpsychotic's final solution: Have Hayden Christensen play a kick ass "anti-hero" Anakin Skyywalker(
Yes I agree with Gustav by The Hillbrothers	Jan 9th, 2001 10:01:08 PM
It's a minor point considering the wealth of suckage in TPM, but the comedy-relief 2-headed American-slang speaking Sportscaster was the corniest move since Lucas "fixed" the Sy Snootles/ Max Rebo scene in Jedi by replacing the excellent puppet work and John William's cool "alien jazz" with moronic Disneyfied cartoons dancing to a sub-Pokemon pop rock song (I distinctly hear an electric guitar but who's playing it). Where does Lucas get off replacing art with throw away low grade CGI? The aliens in Star Wars (Ep 4) were cool because they were ALIEN- you know, spooky and far out. The atmosphere of TPM suffered from the lack of cool alien dialects adapted from real human languages (as they were). It's just one of the myriad weaknesses which failed to transport me to a galaxy far far away (and I don't care what universe your from, that's gotta hurt!) But I won't go away without mentioning something redeemable about TPM. Yoda was done well (although apparently he got a nose job sometime between TPM and ESB) and I can't wait to see him kick ass Jedi style.
Jeezus, what a fuckwad. by Sith Lord Jesus	Jan 9th, 2001 10:17:26 PM
pp392, I mean. Seriously, if all you can do is just come here and for no reason post derogatory, badly spelled, no-grammar shit about people who never did anything to you then just fuck the hell off and get a life. Troll. Mori is right, some of the "fans" ARE getting scary in the Star Wars universe. Almost every SW talkback I've seen has had assholes like pp392, total brain-damaged losers who just rip on everything Star Wars and each other like a bunch of rabid dogs. IMOHO Ep. 1 had, to be polite, severe issues but I don't think that those who liked it are stupid or evil or whatever. It's just a FILM, you know. And I certainly don't think that those who try to bring us news about it are "stupid bitches." As for me, I'm hoping Episode II is better all the way around. Keep bringing us all the info you can get, Moriarty, some of us appreciate it. Rrrrr, damm, I don't usually respond to obvious trolls; this Conan soundtrack must be getting to me. Where's my broadsword. . .
no more ridiculous accents FOR THE LOVE OF GOD by General Idea	Jan 9th, 2001 10:21:27 PM
I know this has been hammered into the ground already, but if I hear even one alien in star wars2 begin to talk english with some awful accent, I will go on a shooting spree. No old jewish guy, no jamaican, no oriental accent, nothing. What's next, the american indian accent? "Me admiral running bear! Force be with all! This tepee now ultimate power in universe!" Maybe an austrian "swartzeneggar-alien"? "Now i vil hav und backing of der republic, or I'll be baaaaack." Perhaps one of the Jedi council could have the voice of Slo-Poke Rodriguez the mouse. Listen closely....the reason it sucks isn't because it's politically incorrect or racially stereotypic....it's because it is FUCKING CORNY EMBARASSING BULLSHIT. Other than that, darken this movie up a little, improve the dialogue, and fade out with the ewoks roasting jar-jar on a skewer & I'll be happy. Thank you for your time.
cautiously optimistic by gocards	Jan 9th, 2001 10:24:49 PM
After following news about TPM prior to its release, I was excited and anxious... and then I saw the movie. Thus, I am holding back any urges I have to read every bit of info relating to Ep 2, hoping that it will be a hellavu lot better.
by wato	Jan 9th, 2001 10:30:41 PM
I find it amazing that you can be so kind to Lucas when you were shut out of Lucas land Moriarty. That story still makes me ill. Anyway, I know of no better way to describe my feelings about Star Wars than to say that I have a cold dark pit in my heart when I think about it. I'm a responsible adult with a family and a good job; I own a home, everything. I'm a grown up 99% of the time. Star Wars was my tried and true bit of escapism. I had other hobbies, etc.. But Star Wars was mine when very few people were into it. I sang the praises of Ep. I two years before it came out. I was the official Lucasfilm cheerleader. Then, as my job affords me the luxury of travel, I went to the Star Wars convention in Denver. Nothing was truly the same after that. It was obvious that the mechanism that ran Lucasland's revenue collection was not only encouraging the rabid fandom (something I don't blame them for by the way) but feeding, quite purposefully, the more, shall we say, unstable elements of the fan community. That in hindsight was my first clue. I went home shaking off the bad feeling in my gut and proceeded to get excited about the film again. Then the day came and within the first few minutes I was wincing. Flame away, but I am telling the truth when I say that I winced through the first 15 min. of that high school level dialogue. Dialogue, dialogue, and dialogue. Dialogue killed that film as sure as I'm sitting here. It wasn't Jar Jar; it was Jar Jar's dialogue. It was weak delivery and just plain corny lines. When Sir Alec uttered the line "I felt a great disturbance in the Force...
TPM sounded as if it was written by our president elect by fladnaG	Jan 9th, 2001 10:31:53 PM
I have two major problems with TPM that I felt kept it from being the film it could have and should have been. First off the dialogue was shit. It was almost painful to hear. Does anybody remember the music video of Duel of the Fates? In it Darth Maul said "Fear attracts the fearful. The strong, the weak, the innocent. Fear is my ally." I thought that was a great fucking line but somehow it got left out. The script for EP2 may be good but if Lucas cuts too much Drama for the sake of more special effects then history will repeat itself. The other big problem was the acting. George got very few well acted scenes out of his cast. That might have had to do with the fact that the dialogue was horrendous. I don't know. Here's hoping that George will learn from his mistakes and that Peter Jackson learned from Lucas mistakes as well and does not sacrifice quality dialogue for a "pretty looking scene".

I piss myself laughing at some of the critizism's of TPM, some dudes in this talk back have giving me a good chuckle. Why? Because TPM left me feeling ripped off. I know not everyone feels like this, but I guess its like arguing with hard-core religious types, you think their deluded and they think your can't see the "truth". In the end its pointless. Anyway, if you want to read really bad talk backs, go to some of the motorcycle web sites. Dudes on those turn them into absolute shit fights, even the guys who run the sites don't read them.

I love Episode II talkbacks. by w5h	Jan 10th, 2001 12:39:05 AM
These talkbacks are often more enjoyable to read than watching scenes from The Phantom Menace. Maybe someone should make a film about Star Wars Episode II talkbacks.
TPM by sjmaatta	Jan 10th, 2001 12:52:16 AM

'tis true, TPM dialogue stank the place out by ol' painless	Jan 10th, 2001 01:27:07 AM
I agree with wato - when I was sitting there watching the opening scenes of TPM, I tried to hide from, but ultimately had to confront, the queazy feeling rising in my gut, which coincidentally is exactly the same feeling I got while watching such cinematic gems as MORTAL KOMBAT and (shudder)THE QUEST: that what I was seeing and hearing was ordinary at best, and sub-standard most of the time. Dialogue which sounds like it came out from a 13 year old trying screenwriting for the first time, actors who were either trying too hard with their faint acting chops, or superb actors who obviously can't quite believe the dialogue they have to spout, and a director who's idea of directing actors seems to amount to "Learnt your lines? Good. You stand there, and you go over there . . . . and ACTION!" I am still baffled as to where it all went with George. THX1138, AMERICAN GRAFFITI and STAR WARS were all wonderful films, with compassion, intelligence and great ideas at their centre. TPM just flashed pretty stuff at you, tried to beat you to death with variety, threw in a few chases and comic relief, and tried to sell you the KFC meal. Hooray. Like Mori, I am hoping for a bit more with EPII. George doesn't have to listen to the more patholigical elements of his "fan" base, but he really does need to listen more to some of his more savvy assoicates this time around. But my money is still on WETA carrying away the little gold man at the Oscars.
The Reason Fans Are Pissed Off... by Mighty Ostrich	Jan 10th, 2001 02:01:56 AM

We're all to blame for spoiling "Star Wars" by RobinP	Jan 10th, 2001 02:29:30 AM
Each and every one of us has to take a portion of the blame. We're like little kids who want to open all our presents before xmas day, then sulk when there's nothing left to open when xmas day arrives. When the original trilogy came out, the only way you could get hold of plot spoilers of any kind was in the form of novelizations, and other souveneir tie-ins that were released at the same time as the film. Now, we have the net. The net is great, unparalleled communications....but it also means that every little plot nuance is known to us, the audience, months before the finished product hits the screens. In the case of TPM, a great many had already decided NOT to like characters like Jar Jar, they'd decided that the plot was too slow. In other words, much of the mystery and the pleasure of seeing an epic storyline unfold in front of our eyes on a big ass screen has sadly gone.

Cut Star Wars a break people! by Gaz	Jan 10th, 2001 05:04:08 AM
I thought Episode 1 was creative, exciting, beautifully shot and great strorytelling. The craft, care and attention put into this film was tremendous and I do believe that Hollywood should take note of this. OK, TPM was no Empire, but its the beginning of a saga and I'm sure the tone of Episode 2 and 3 is gonna be a lot darker. Lucas has even said himself that he expects episode 3 to be more of an adult film. I think in a few years people will realise what a good film TPM really is. Its just at the moment it seems to be the trend to slag it off because everyones wanking over Lord of the Rings and the Matrix 2. Episode 2 is gonna be great, so lets cut it a break and look foreward to the things to come.

I know you think you're being a Hollywood player by posting the first line of the opening crawl, but all you really are is annoying. Please remember that some people want to keep this movie pure and don't want to know anything about it until May 2002. Granted, it's just the first line, but there's a principle here! This whole damn site is so concerned with flaunting it's newfound "insider" status, it makes me want to retch.
EP 1 Script and Frank Darabont by RenoNevada2000	Jan 10th, 2001 06:22:15 AM
Hey I Show No Mercy. . . According to an open letter in a recent issue of "Creative Screenwriting" Darabont says that Lucas has a problem with The Witer's Guild and wouln't pay him Guild rates to do a polish on the Ep 1 script. (I'm paraphrasing from memory, I'm at work and the mag's at home) Maybe if Lucas had coughed up a little more coin, we wouldn't have been stuck with some cheesy dialogue. ("Wizard!"?????)
I love Star Wars, but why would any of you want to spoil the plo by Kikstad	Jan 10th, 2001 06:26:21 AM
Seriously, do none of you movie fans want to surprised and watch a story unfold before your eyes on the big screen anymore? I'm confused by this whole mentality in which we all go beyond simply anticipating a movie and end up knowing every last detail, every bit of dialogue, every camera shot, before the movie even premieres yet. I think fan trailers and speculation is cool, but when it goes too far, when we go out of our way to dig up actual storyboards and shooting scripts, then honestly, what's thep oint in seeing the movie anymore? I'm not surprised that people are let down and disappointed by the final product when all sense of wonder is lost before we even step into the theater opening day. It seemed as if everyone knew about the podrace and Darth Maul's death before The Phantom Menace ever premiered. Not just the fact that the movie had a podrace scene or that Maul would die, but every last detail about how those scenes would play out. So where's the excitement then? Sorry, but I just had to get that off my chest. Peace out.
I just want to know what's going to happen.... by MPJedi2	Jan 10th, 2001 06:40:09 AM
...when "Fellowship of the Ring" turns out to be a very faithful adaptation of the book. Will the fanbase rise up bashing it for being "dull and talky" as they did with TPM? I mean that's a story that pretty much takes place in a room with people sitting around talking. Now don't get me wrong, it totally does what a first act is supposed to, set up the "dominos" to be knocked down, but that book is a snooze. TPM has things tacked in that don't need to be there, to up the action. Imagine ANH if he'd known there would be two more. No Death Star, Ben wouldn't have died, etc.....
A couple of things on my mind... by Acid_Rain327	Jan 10th, 2001 07:50:08 AM
I didnt take the time to read the previous talk-backs, so dont kill me if I repeat something that's already been said. Now then - first, Lucas isn't in this for some sort of competition to make the best special effects and visuals. This is his vision, and if it were otherwise, he'd be working for Universal like his buddy Spielburg. Second, everyone's denoting the series as a whole because they were disappointed by TPM. However, no one seems to take into consideration that TPM is not a stand-alone movie. This movie is made to set up the next 2 films and the original 3. People say that "oh, ESB stood on it's own!" But this is a different type of film; this one had to act a first chapter of a huge, dense saga, and I think it did pretty well. So, now that things have the set-up Lucas wants, he can now go back and not have to worry about linking things together to make sense, and I think we'll see something more like the original trilogy. I agree with Moriarty - people need to calm the hell down and remember why they love these movies so much, and stop being rat bastards about every little detail.
Star Wars and anticipation. by anothervoice	Jan 10th, 2001 08:12:52 AM
For Twenty-some years, Star Wars has been tossed around in conversation like a rag doll. We speculate, praise, and even criticize. That is the whole point. With the release of EP:1, we had many years to ponder and anticipate. The media harped on this, and unfortunatly ran away with it. But who's fault is it? They didn't interview my friends and I as we left our first viewing of the film, only to run back and buy tickets for another viewing a couple of days later. I enjoy the talk and excitement, but I stay away from a lot of the media's ability to run something into the ground. The LOTR is the same way. These books have been around for quite some time, and as a result, create hype. I am quite excited about Star Wars and LOTR, and look forward to trailers for both film series. I find a sense of adventure, and get a bit giddy, at the possibility of something so grand and widespread. Someone on the other side of the world who I will never know feels the same. Bring it on!
This pisses me off... by Dragonfire	Jan 10th, 2001 08:34:21 AM
The fact that ILM are concentrating on beating WETA and all the others makes Moriatry happy. If anything it should make you unhappy. One of the many problems with TPM was the over used effects. Rather aim to make the effects tie in with the story line instead of just making the movie for special effects. The original trilogy effects tied in with the story.
You want dialogue???? by MBear	Jan 10th, 2001 08:38:23 AM
What's everybody's gripe with TPM's dialogue/script?? Who goes to a Star Wars film expecting deep and resonating dialogue? I think many of you just think the original trilogy is deep, resonant, and well written because you were either so young at the time of your exposure to the SW universe, or you had just never seen anything quite like it before. I got news for you folks...there are mountains and mountains of clumsy, awkward, wince-worthy dialogue from the first trilogy. Many of Han and Lea's exchanges in ANH. The nerfherder conversaion in ESB, and that entire scene actually. In Jedi, Luke's choppy, much-too-short conversation with Lea...in particular Luke explaining to her that he can turn Vader..."back to the good side." WHOA! This ain't the Godfather, this is cornball. But that's ok. That's great! That's fantastic!!! That's what SW is like it or not. You're fooling yourself if you believe otherwise. Yeah Empire's the best, and we all as older folks feel a conection to the downer "reality" of that installment that we probably did not appreciate as children...but Empire was the one exception in a series of FOUR films. SW is not heavy stuff folks...it's light. Instead of ripping into the TPM because it wasn't the dark, Empire-esque fix that you wanted it to be, accept it for what it is, and for what SW is! Cornball dialogue and all! And Episode II better have some corny dialogue too damnit!!!!!!!
I can wait by alcester	Jan 10th, 2001 08:52:21 AM
at least after EP1 theres no use getting all excited about another Star Wars film, its all been done and seen before, it needs to be reinvented like the first one did at the time compared to other sci/fi films.
What are you a "fan" of? by Matt Freeman	Jan 10th, 2001 09:06:11 AM
The point is to have fun, to not judge yourself for doing so, and simply give yourself the best possible experience. I saw Episode I quite a few times in the theater, and simply refused to allow myself to overanalyze or judge whether or not I liked it. It is Star Wars. Simple, fun, child-like and imperfect. The best experience I had was on a Sunday afternoon, watching it with families. Kids giggled, grown-ups who had basically never heard of "Ain't It Cool" went Wow a lot. It was simple. My kid brothers have the toys. As for Episode II and III, I have my expectations. But is it a political issue, a social injustice when someone wants to hear the plotline or chooses to avoid it? How are we having fun when we question the right or wrong of our enjoyment? I just can't see the point. Even at it's worst, Star Wars is an attempt to appeal to my better nature, the part of me that wants to rise above pettiness and be a hero in my life. That may sound cheesy...but if that's not what you get from Star Wars...what exactly are you fan of?

For those of you didn't like the all the CGI in Episode1 i.e. BattleDroids and GunGans, you are not gonna like Episode2. Evidently even more CGI creatures will appear in Episode2. There are "Poggles/Lessers" which are reptillian versions of BatteDroids and of course there are BattleDroids and SuperBattleDroids , which happen to look a little like the SpiderMan villain Mysterio. Poggles/Lessers manufacture the BattleDroids/SuperBattleDroids , on a rocky planet called Geonosis. Kamino is a heh, "waterworld" type planet, where the clones or "clonetroopers" are manufactured. I have the 72 starwars storyboards I dont recall seeing what the "Kaminoans" look like and unfortunatley you can bet they will be CGI. (and yes I have the 72 storyboards, I will give out the URL via email, and I know the URL has been passed around in AICN LiveChat) The clones are made from Boba Fett, err Jango Fett, perhaps for both sides, the Republic-led by Palpatine Versus "charasmatic separtist leader" Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus. Oh last but not least, well ok, least, our favorites the Neimodians will return in Episode2 also. **************************** ************************** ****** darthpyschotic
What you say about SW fandom is SO true... by paulus22	Jan 10th, 2001 11:28:41 AM
I finally get to agree with you, Moriarty. I also think that the current batch of SW fans are getting out of hand...too negative and picky and forgetful of what made us all love the movies originally. I wrote a short letter that I was going to send to all the newspapers in the Seattle area (where I'm from)when all the initial reviews and pissing and moaning began after the release of Episode I. Never got around to sending it, but the gist was that Episode I was just as good as the original trilogy, especially if you pick it apart and compare it directly to the first 3 films. Granted, I think that it wasn't the best of the series, but I tried to see it with fresh, new eyes, NOT as a grownup. The reason that us fans love SW so much is the fact that we were enthralled with it as kids. As kids, we overlooked some of the cheesyness (which IS there) in the original trilogy and saw the true beauty of the imagination and the story and the characters. Now, we are all so jaded by mass media hysteria over EVERYTHING that we are pre-disposed to hate whatever comes out as a SW film. The fans generally disappoint me in this respect. See the films with the eyes of yourself at 5 or 7 or 8 or 11, and you WILL like the new ones, too! Even Jar-Jar becomes less annoying when you try to see the film that way! Thanks, Moriarty, for pointing this freaky fan thing out...it's nice to know that another SW fan feels as I do! I AM excited for the next one, and AM excited when pics come out or story details get leaked...but I never got to see ANY of that stuff when I was a kid...just had to wait till the next one came out. Even ROTJ, which I STILL think is the worst of all of 'em, enthralled me when it came out, and I think that if I would have heard about EWOKS before I saw it, I probably wouldn't have liked it as much. I would have formed an opinion before the flick came out that was based on something not necessarily true. I'm trying to do the same as you...be as excited about the leaks as i would be for the film itself...and to not get too carried away with 'em. Thanks again...SW fans...heed the words of Moriarty and maybe even me. I think it will help you be happier with the final result! (sorry this is so long...had to get this out there!)
Bang on Moriarty!!!! by Gabba-UK	Jan 10th, 2001 12:35:55 PM
Atlast!! Someone has spoken some sound and common-sense words on these Star Wars Talkbalks! I'm a huge Star wars fan. I'll even admit to having watched my old Betamax copy of Star Wars (taped of the TV) so many times when I was a kid as to make the picture go black and white! Something I'm told would require it to have been veiwed at least 1500 X!! Tragic I know but I was kid and I hadn't discovered girls at that point. My most prized item is a copy of the original Vinyl soundtrack of Star Wars with the poster and sleeve notes and stickers intact, signed by John Williams (dont ask me How much? 'cos none of you enougth money). But the level of ...well frankly mental instability of some people, both here and around the 'net in general is staggering!! 'LUCAS MUST DIE!!!!!!!' ....I mean, come on. Is there something you wish to share with the group? At the end of the day they are films, just films.

Stuff by Kenway	Jan 10th, 2001 02:26:38 PM
I'm hoping Episode II can be good. Episode I was flawed. And please please please! No more heartfelt "watch it through the eyes of a child" speeches! On second, thought, go ahead if you must, it's a free country. But I don't feel that argument holds any water whatsoever. Take like Toy Story 2. That was made for kids. I watched it as a jaded cynical 26 year old and I loved it! I didn't have to watch it through the eyes of a child. If Episode I had the integrity of a Toy Story 2, I would have been happy with it. It did not. It was a mess on many levels. Could I do better? No. Will I ever do better? Again no? Could Episode I have been a heck of a lot better? Definately. I think it is interesting to note that Episode I is not even listed on the IMDB Top 250 anymore, nor has it for quite a while if I remember right. While some people may have loved it, and more power to them, as a whole, the movie did not resonate with the young or old. What age eyes people view it with are not the deciding factor. The deciding factor is does the movie even make eyes want to view it? Yes, it made a lot of money because it had the "Star Wars" name. But once seen, most people could care less, or have already forgotten it hoping the next will be better, instead of going back to revisit it.
Entertaining thoughts. by Dark Predator	Jan 10th, 2001 02:36:47 PM
I sorta had to agree with Moriaty that fans can be pretty scarey. Just looking at all the trash that is in this t.b. confirms it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only good thing about Star Wars T.B.'s is the humor. I guess it's also nice for people to have some way of venting, but seriously, do any of you actually read through something that begins with "TPM sucked big time"???? It's all been said before. I don't write negative t.b.'s (usually), I just enjoy the crazy $#!+ that people write bringing stuff from other movies into speculation about what will happen in EP2.
I WATCHED THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY LAST WEEK... by Dark Predator	Jan 10th, 2001 02:47:17 PM
And for the first time EVER I sorta thought that maybe Lucas actually did have a lot of the prequels planned out while he was doing the original trilogy. The way Vader reacted in ROTJ when he read Luke's mind about having a twin "Seeester" and how Obi-won was wise to hide it, etc. just screamed plot giveaway. I think the BIGGEST give-away however was when the Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sideous) was electrifying Luke and Darth Vader looks back and forth between the two like it was Deja 'Vu. I bet EP3 (if not EP2) will feature an almost exact replica of that scene except that Anakin will be in Luke's place and that will be what causes him to get his body all machined up. It was almost painfully obvious that is what will happen.
You're all a bunch of psychotic dweebs and on that note, Harry K by Tender Branson	Jan 10th, 2001 04:11:49 PM
Seriously, Harry. Up until now, I thought you were gonna milk this bitch the same way you did with "Episode One". It ruined the film and I'm not blaming you for that, I'm blaming every single over-marketed, manipulated internet source. "Episode One" was the greatest example of WHY everyone who works in marketing or adverticing should be forced to experience every ounce of their life's work before they are led into a shower stall and shot in the head "Citizen X" style. But, I'm glad there's been a lack of "Episode 2" news here, it's refreshing. I personally know NOTHING about "Episode 2" other than it's a "Star Wars" flick. I'm going to go in fresh, with no expectations, because to tell you the truth, the last film exhausted my need for expectations. The reason? The expectations I had were manufatured and false and all the hype leading up to the actual viewing of the film, left me feeling like I'd just come down off of some seriously bad shit. I agree about the fans too. To say the words "Star Wars" in familiar company is to incite a shower of assholes, derision and cynical-speak the likes of which haven't been seen since Reagan was in office. Just scanning through the talk back here would be evidence enough. Who cares if "Episode One" sucked? How many times can you say that out loud before giving in and admitting that you truly are a victim of the hype? Admit it, you were suckered and you were pissed. It was a massive sensory overload of Pepsi cans, Taco Bell rats, action figures, internet scampering and a basic oversaturation of everything with the words, "Star Wars" that the true face of Lucasfilm began to shine through and those magic, sparkly green titles lost their luster. Lucasfilm is a company. It's main goal is to make money. The reason that it's never seemed so much so, is that it never shoved it in our faces as blatantly before. From the massive oversaturation of marketing to the basic species names in the film, (Toydarian? What the fuck is that?) Lucasfilm was letting us know that sure, they wanted an epic to match every epic from here on in, but basically they're all about the foldable green. Was anyone really surprised? I don't think so, but I think a lot of people were disenchanted with the entire idea of film in general by this film. Think that's crazy-speak? You know how many people I know who love film because of "Star Wars"? A lot. You know how many people that cite "Star Wars" as the reason they went into film as their main reason? A lot. Everyone is worried as being seen as a sell-out and how much more disappointing would it be to find that the you inspiration was selling out bigger and harder than any other sell-out of all time? But, personally, I don't really care. "Star Wars" is a movie. It always has been and always will be. I'm not about to call Lucas a whore, because he raked in a shitload with "Episode One" and to tell the truth, any of you people when confronted with those numbers would've flogged the X-Wing for all it was worth as well. Your arguments are hypocritical and self-defeating. Why don't you all just take a break and talk about something else? Everything that can and will ever be said about "Star Wars" or Lucas has been said a thousand times by now. It's just a movie. Keep saying that over and over again. Just a movie. In the end, whether or not "Episode 2 or 3" suck dick or rock like nothing has rocked before, means absolutely nothing. So, why spend so much time bitching about something that in the end is what what it is. Good or bad, everyone hates everything these days, and that's sad. So, I hope Harry refrains from putting up any "Star Wars" related shit until his review. Wouldn't bother me a bit, because it's just another fucking movie.

OK, first of all, child, learn to spell. It's "sucking," not "sukkin;" "was," not "wuz;" and "nobody," not "nebody," among a great many, many errors. There's this thing called "spellcheck" on your software that you may want to get your mom to show you how to use. Second of all . . .well, there's really not much else to say. Your rather incoherent, rambling spew of a reply is all anyone really needs to know about you. "Dungeons and Dragons?" Never played it. Prefer Quake 3 Arena and Alice. Um, those are what's known as "computer games." When you're old enough, you may be allowed to get one. Finally, I think I'll just let you have the last word here. Your truly . . .astounding vocabulary and rapier wit leaves me absolutely breathless and unable to match the, uh, lofty intellectual heights that you occupy. Heh. I leave the field to you, dear sir.

Star Wars fans today.... by Aeon Flux	Jan 11th, 2001 04:31:52 AM
Let's face it. Episode Two will be a hit once again just because of the amount of hype Georgie boy is busy churning out. That much is certain. I'd like to stress on the part where Moriarty said that Star Wars did bring out the worst in us. Although the magic of Star Wars will always be there, the thought of those fan made films on the line up for Episode One makes me want to vomit because it's merely a documentation on film of what a huge bunch of hypocretes there were hiding in all those lines. Sure, I am not denying that there were true fans out there, but like what Moriarty had said, "THERE WAS LITTLE JOY ON DISPLAY AMONG THE FAN COMMUNITY". Admit it, there was a time where people used to say that it was cool to know Lincoln and that he was a friend and that whatever the hell his web site was back then was better than this site before saying that he fucking sucks and that he was a fucking faggot and all after that. Hell, I once did that too. I do not like Lincoln as a person and I am not supporting him, but I just feel that there was a ton of hypocretes who just 'go with the flow'. And who could ever forget the backbiting and the backstabbing and all? I've seen a few Star Wars message boards evolve from a 'really friendly and nice' board to a Nazi dictatorship, where moderators indicate what they want to see and not want to see on the board, including subjects, words and even people. Hell, I've even seen this certain Star Wars message board ban certain members off their list just because they were European and couldn't spell very well (even though English was not their first language) and that they were annoying because of that or because they were of some other race or because they of a different sexual orientation or because they believed in an unconventional religion, given the slightest excuse in their favour. And the fake friendships these sickos have created in these lines? Sure, there are a few cases where people did become good friends or lovers or something, but you gotta admit, if you are a Star Wars fan and you're within the Star Wars community, you would've known at least one person who's been bitched about, backstabbed or even ridiculed behind his/her back by all his/her so called friends. All I'm saying is that Star Wars, the movie will always be a part of American culture, and it will always be beloved whether we like the Prequel trilogy or not. What changes everybody's opinion of the films though, are the people involved. Those who relished in backstabbing, in creating a sense of false caemederie, and those who govern and oppress free speech in Star Wars message boards, that are indeed, suffering from "genuine mental illness".

Thank You Mr Lucas! by Rawhkey	Jan 11th, 2001 10:20:50 PM
Dont you all realize what George has done? Remember, folks, that George needed a lot of psychological help in the early 80's. He went nuts, folks. It's not a new thing. But, upon his slow recovery, he found joy and wanted to answer the cries of many a fan, and start making the new trilogy. The rumours spread and the aniticipation heightned. Next thing you know, there are lines of people standing around for a month and a half or however long they did, for the movie. Hell, even when the trailer came out, scads of people paid their $8 and then left after the trailer. But, folks, in the time Lucas was writing Episode 1, he must have noticed things like this, and concluded that it would only continue. He wrote Episode 1 in a way which succeeded, from my point of view. He woke up you pathetic losers who stayed out in line for a month. Hey, folks...how do you go to work and stay in line for a month? Why dont you get a job and a life? And here you all are, sitting every day, reading shit on here, cursing Episode 1. Why? Because it woke you up. You're all reacting as if you've just been woken up out of the Matrix. And you hate it! lol, what a bunch of dweebs! Yes, I said dweebs. Only because it describes you goofballs. For a lot of people, like me, Episode 1 was a blast. But then...a lot of people dont sit around waiting in line for a month, just trying to recreate a phenomenom that happened 23 years ago. Yes, I know a bunch of people who didn't like Episode 1. But the level of negativity is not there that you all seem to have. If Lucas' plan comes fully to fruition, you jackasses who hate it so much hopefully wont want to and wont go see Episode II. And that movie will come, and it'll be, as I saw described in a post earlier, the prequal you've wanted to see. The prequal you waited 2 months for, you will miss. And guess what else, jerkoffs? I consider you all out of the Star Wars fan club. And after Episode II and II, when you're all saying how great Lucas is and how you're all fans, begging to be back in the club...guess what? Screw you. I enjoyed Star Wars, and I never even knew what a fanboy was. And quite frankly, if you're all fans ((and I've noticed this not only with the Star Wars posts, but also LOTR and Spidey and whatever)), you fanboys are downright depressive. Get a life and a real job and quit being such whiny negative dicks. p.s. its George's movie, for his own amusement. If you are so hell bent on badmouthing and think you can do better, then make your own dang movie! Oh..and see if anyone else enjoys it. Rawhkey

What boards am I talking about... by Aeon Flux	Jan 13th, 2001 08:02:43 AM
To simply state the boards I was talking about would not only be considered as defamatory, but there would also be a high chance that this post would be deleted. Let me just simply say that it is NOT TFN's boards if you're asking, Matrix_Sux. Let's just say some of these boards were the more prominent ones then TFN's before Episode One was released and have lost its prominence ever since, especially since when they were closed down for a period of time before being reinstated back again. Go figure.
TPM did indeed rule by TPMrules23	Jan 13th, 2001 02:24:19 PM
For some reason people here are so negative about TPM. Apparently it is cool to yell, "TPM sucks" because it de-nerdifies you. Newsflash, we're all nerds here, you get over yourself and like TPM because the movie kicks ass. Every person here has to say something bad about Jar Jar Binks, not realizing what he brought to the film because of their own stupidity and inability to anaylze a film. Episode II will rock, but unfortunately, it, like EI, will fly over a lot of people's heads. Those people will just have to settle for movies like The Rock and ID4.
