But I don't think Dicaprio could be any better than Christensen, and quite frankly it wouldn't feel right.

Vader was LEO!

No.

Yes, but just as the Rancor scene looks great now, the lightsaber fight looks like absolute crap. At least every other shot has a messed up blade, if not more.

What I love about ROTJ is after all the crap in ESB that separates the characters and makes their lives miserable, they are all back together. There's a warm feeling throughout the movie after Han is rescued from Jabba.

I love the scene on Dagobah with Yoda's death and Luke talking to Obi-Wan. Again, Obi-Wan there gives me a very warm feeling. I truly care about the characters, and basically the Endor scenes are all about the characters im my eyes, with the Ewoks there to basically advance the plot to the final battle.

After his absence in ANH and the brief holo appearance in ESB, the Emperor does not dissapoit in ROTJ. What a great character, and all scenes with him are awesome.

I truly believe that ROTJ is more about the characters than the actual war (for most of the movie). That's why it was originally ended the way it was, with the characters together. Now, with the celebration crap thrown in there, it loses some of that (and of course the Anakin switch, but to each his own).

More importantly, why do McCallum and Lucas seem to inflate at the same rate? Look at McCallum like 5-10 years ago and see how much he's increased in size. Then look at Lucas in the late 80's to 90's and look at him now.

Creepy.

Heh.

It was less fun in the Mos Espa Arena because Jabba would kill you if you said something wrong, lol.

It was so dumb in that level how you had to get to Watto. And then when you are in the grandstands...and then with the random Tusken Raiders in the pit area...and the guy who stole the part you needed...

It was all sooo dumb.

Fun Fun Fun.

Awesome friggin level. Just walking around trading with everyone and killing random people making everyone try to kill you...good times.

I love passionate anti-SE fans. However, I believe Luke felt his father's presence at the end of ROTJ, he didn't just recognize him.

But the change still blows. Looks dumb. The explanation is dumb. It is dumb.

The only comics I've really read and enjoyed were the film adaptations and Shadows Of The Empire. Although, TPM was a rather poor comic, and even AOTC though it had some of the best art of all of them, was just lacking so much.

hmm...all spoilers came from trailers (whether it be film or video game). So if you don't want the spoilers, don't watch the trailers?

You could've just said, "Hey Darth Justin, don't post pics from the video game trailer that can potentially spoil the film's climactic scenes."

Ummm...no.

And StarTrooper3000, looks like Yoda took out some of Palpatine's royal guards.

The trailer for the Episode III video game is at the Lucasarts website. It shows the Dooku/Anakin fight in front of Palpatine with ships in the background, very much mirroring ROTJ, and proves that pic is real.

Also, Anakin hitting Mace Windu with force lightning.

Pretty much everything always ends up being spoiled for the prequels. The only thing that surprised me in Episode II was the Death Star schematic, because it wasn't really mentioned anywhere before the movie came out.

Regarding the Anakin/Dooku fight, it's a spy pic. It's been floating around the underground.

I noticed a couple changes to the audio you missed in the Empire Strikes Back section...

Luke's lightsaber activation sound is now from Return Of The Jedi and Vader's grunt when he falls off the edge of the Carbon Freezing Chamber, which has been changed since 1997.

Other than that, great job.

That's exactly what it is.

So Dooku was totally MIA, as well as Grevous. I can understand wanting to keep Grevous under wraps until the final trailers, but what about the Count?? There's just going to be too much in this movie for it to be really good. It'll probably end up being alright. Let's see, the to do list for this movie: everything. ...kay.

Perhaps Palpatine transforms like Anakin does with the whole yellow eyes thing, only he turns old and disgusting-looking. Just a thought.

The OS is finally back online...

LOL, finally, signs of an uprising in the sw.com forums...

It's good to hear that someone else is unhappy with this new Insider. Vic and Lisa did an awesome job with the mag, and their love of Star Wars showed through on every page. Now, I barely care to flip through it for anything more than the pictures.

That, combined with the fact that were were basically lied to regarding this "HS members get to see the trailer first" business, will probably keep me from renewing next time around.

Regarding the trailer, if anyone still has the cajones to pull out the "well, technically we WILL get it first" argument needs to wake up. If anything, we'll get it mere MINUTES earlier than AOL gets it.

My theory about the shot of Yoda with his saber is that he got his ass kicked beforehand. The look in his face suggests he's tired...

And he's going back for one last stand.

They actually used prequel music in the trailer! That's actually a first, ain't it?

Anyway, regarding the music, the end sounded ridiculous, that quick cut from the Imperial March was just awkward.
