And when I stopped by mom's house to visit her after the movie ... She asks, "Was there any CGI in the movie this time?"

HAH! Mothers ... but she's only 48, I thought she'd know better.

You know, I have to say I'm a fan of "Revenge of the Sith," and really like it. I think I enjoyed it more the second time around because I wasn't so tired like I was at the premiere. But you know, I really liked the audience at the premiere, they were really into it.

I really bought into it from Anakin's perspective, you feel torn between The Republic and Jedi Council, who are now going against their own teachings. You really empathized with his struggle and inner conflict because he feels as though he's truly doing the right thing.

I think George Lucas really pulled it off this time around. My only real complaint is that I thought it was a little rushed, when AotC could of taken on some of the story.

Yada Yada Yada! You've heard it all before!

Oh, and I got a really cool poster of Vader on the front, "Who's Your Daddy?" for Father's Day.

You mean the Russia version of RotS, the DVD rip?

I'm sure I could find it on a torrent of some kind ... but still having dial-up, I think I'd be an old man before I was able to download it. I'm not sure if you can use something like "GetRight" to contine your download on a torrent, I don't know much about them. It's gonna be a looooong before I can buy the DVD, it'd be nice to be able to watch again.

I'll probably go see it a 3rd time this week with my mom. I might even see it a few more times, it's the last friggin' Star Wars movie after all, EVER! T_T

Cool gif., by the way.

Torrents are resumable. If you use Azureus, you won't even have to reopen the torrent, it's got a queue. Glad to hear you liked it more the second time.


Made for IE Forum's Episode III theme month - May 2005.

Thanks, maybe I can get the OT now, maybe ... it would probably take several weeks to just download one of the films. I saw torrentbox had "raw LD rips," I wasn't sure if I would have to convert them myself to the right format for burning to DVD-R.

I'll probably just e-mail Rikter, maybe he'll be nice enough to send me some copies if I paid for the disc and shipping. Quite honestly, I have no clue what to even ask for. There seemed to be so many projects ... I have no idea which is best, what's available, etc. etc.

You really should buy the movies and not just download them. (But that said, downloading any one of a zillion O-OT projects is certainly understandable).

I did buy the so called "Original Star Wars Trilogy" on DVD. George Lucas got his money from when I was duped into buying the Special Edtions. That being said, I don't feel the least bit bad about owning bootleg versions of the TRUE Star Wars Trilogy. I'd glady buy a legit copy of them AGAIN, if they were truly the Original Star Wars Trilogy. I don't even have that option ... so I'm forced to seek DVD bootlegs.

i wonder what would happen in a court case, if lucas decided to sew someone who had a bootleged version of the OT. there is a really good defence there.

^ Fortunately for us in the UK if you own/have bought a film or piece of music on one format, you may make a back-up copy of it on the same, or another format

I was under the impression that it was this way in the U.S., too- if you just make copies for yourself, then there's never a problem.

It's when you start giving them to your friends or selling for profit that you get into trouble.

I wonder what would happen if I tried to sue George Lucas for false advertising "The Original Trilogy," when it's not.

Seen Episode 3 five times. No such thing as an Original Trilogy, only Episodes 4 - 6.
Jar Jar Binks: If me be returnin, the Bosses will do terrible things to me! Tewwwwible things!
Qui-Gon Jinn: Do you hear that?
[a rumbling is heard in the distance]
Jar Jar Binks: Yeah.
Qui-Gon Jinn: That is the sound of a thousand terrible things headed this way.
Obi-Wan: If they find us, they will crush us, grind us into TINY pieces and BLAST us into oblivion!

You can still call it "The Original Trilogy"

Original:

1. first

2. not copied from something else

3. inventive

prequel-A literary, dramatic, or cinematic work whose narrative takes place before that of a preexisting work or a sequel

So, I guess Prequel Trilogy can still fit, too, huh?

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I guess I'm not undersntading your point, here.

I define "The Orginal Trilogy" as just that, no CGI or added anything, 1977, 1980, and 1983. They were the orginal stories George Lucas came up with beofre the prequels. The prequels were nothing more than a ruff draft at the time, mostly just in the mind of George Lucas, nothing really on paper, not even a script. And from my understanding, the episode numbers weren't added till later.

The term "Original Trilogy" has nothing to do within the time frames of the actual movies themselfs.

Well, when I say ORIGINAL trilogy, I'm mostly referring to the untouched versions of the film, no CGI and no added scenes, and there are three of them. They were the original trilogy, were they not? But the original trilogy doesn't exsist anymore, at least not on DVD, the Special Edtions do, however. Also, they WERE the original trilogy, based on the decade when they came out. I also sometimes call the prequels, "The New Trilogy" just based on the time period when they were released.

I'm not denying that there are now 6 episodes. I just think you guys misunderstoond my definition.

I'm going to open a whole can of worms here but I'm just going to come out and say it...


After seeing all three of the new movies Episode I was the best.


Keep in mind that is my opinion of this travesty known as the prequels and I want you to know I judge that based on it being the most OT like of the three new films.

That is all
