Episode III- I'm really distressed about. Fundamentally, I'm not seeing a way to turn it into a good movie. With Episode II, largely with the help of Mark Haslett, we were able to twist the basic story into something that's good and coherent and redefine Anakin. With Episode III, what can you do? Yoda and Sidious have a lightsaber fight that ends for no reason at all. ??? Palpatine has ridiculous looking makeup after zapping himself with his lightning (rather than a slow Dark Side corruption as was being strongly implied in Episode II). ??? Then there's the whole General Grievous problem. Is he Darth Maul? Does that stretch the limits of believability? I guess it's no worse than finding out that 3 out of the 4 main characters from completely different backgrounds are all in the same immediate family in ROTJ...

Maybe this is material for a new thread...

Yes, this has always been the hardest thing in EP.III to get around, Palpatines retardard transition in the middle of the film. I have just thought of a possible way around it. What if we can work it so that we never see the end of the confrontation with Palp. Windu. Maybe mention the out come via an Anakin voice over explaining the he realized the jedi were wrong and that he became Palpatine's apprentice. It could then be said that several years have passed. It would be some tricky editing, we would have the problem of Padme being pregnant and would no longer be able to kill her off. George sure made a huge mess of that film. I still cringe every time somebody says it is by far the best of the PT.

Back on the real topic. All I have to saw about the crawl is:

FANTASTIC!

I am very impressed with how well it works. And no big deal on the release date slide back, get this thing done right.
