Could you imagine if someone had told Star Wars fans this info, 20 years ago? Who would believe that:

1. George Lucas would eventually treat the OOT like Howard the Duck.
2. Battlestar Galactica would be getting better reviews than Star Wars.
3. Ian McDiarmid would appear in The Empire Strikes Back.
4. Darth Vader had no father. His mother carried him, she gave birth to him, but coudn't explain what happened.
5. A Star Wars character would be created that made the Ewoks look good
6. Yoda and the Emperor would have a lightsaber duel.
7. Despite the fact that Leia remembered her, Luke and Leia's mother would die seconds after giving birth.
8. Chewie and Yoda were pals back in the day.
9. Darth Vader was C3PO's father.
10. R2D2 flew (he had a hover coversion but the flying circuits were destroyed)
11. Darth Vader turned to the Dark Side to prevent his pregnant wife from dying.

any other ideas?

Um...then what exactly is the point of film, if you don't want to watch it?

I saw "Scanner Darkly" and I thought it was interesting at first, but it just didn't seem like anything was happening. Just a bnucha guys either getting stoned, standing around with their thumbs up their asses, or both. I almost fell asleep, and I never do that in movies. Ever.

And you're talking about other people's spelling?
Hate me because i mispell and grammer not well. The reply statement wasn't about her spelling, it used the mistake in her spelling to show the point that first impressions or judging a book by it's cover is not a way to gather an honest opinion. Thus the forum related quote from SW about the MF. "She's got it where it counts" is what i was implying about the movie "A Scanner Darkly". Invader Jenny's opinion is completely valid and most likely 9 out of 10 people would agree that this animation style, if you guage it by the commercials (which are similar but not the same) is a.N.n.O.y.I.N.g::: Countering this opinion is what the rest of my posts have been about. The animation is different in this movie, although it used the same techique. And the technic is used to enhance/capture the overall atmosphere of the book, uneasyness, dislocated, yet based upon a reality we all share.

I remember back in the days of NES, Star Wars was 49.99 GBP (no pound sign on this US keyboard). 49.99 in the late 80s!! I never did get that game because I could never afford it. Hell, I couldn't even afford it today for 49.99. Computer games are a rip off. Best to wait a few months for when they release the titles on their platinum series or whatever it's called.

The animation is as cheap as your spelling is accurate. and according to Luke, the Millenium Falcon looks like a piece of junk.

If you watch the trailer, or these first few minutes, you'll understand why this technic actually complements the storytelling. Although it's not perfect, the method in which is movie is shown really does help you understand portions of the lifestyle of the characters. One of my objections with the animation is the level of detail they went into with close ups. Medium and Far shots look fantastic, real yet twisted, the close ups do look like the commercials, and do leave some people 'annoyed', with additional detail maybe the two wouldn't be associated. But the story more then makes up for these incongruities, its got it where it counts. Don't like the look of the movie, i'll reiterate my appreciation for the book. It's a thought provoking story.

I cannot stand the animation that they did for this film. It's the same crappy photoshop rendering animation that they used for those insurance commercials and I hate them. It looks cheep and it is annoying.

Luca$h: "I just wanted to take people further into the Universe that I created all on my own, by myself, with nobody's help at all, ever.

I just thought to myself, in an all too frequent flash of genius, that we never see people defaecating in my stories. I decided that this left a big hole in the 'Star Wars Experience' (TM)!

So, I revisited all of the movies and have edited in CG-doubles for all the characters to show them at that most private of moments, so that we can all see how it happens! I'm particularly proud of the scene in 'The Phantom Menace', where I have Qui-Gon Jinn squatting over a midden in Mos Eisley, reading 'Funny Quotes The Senators Thought We Forgot!'"

Wait a sec...there were no cop car Decipticons, were there? Autobots had the market on rescue-vehicle robots. Good guys, good vehicles.

A goofy part of me really IS looking forward to this film. I dug the Transformers but wasn't a HUGE fan (was more into Robotech at the time) but if anyone can do a loud, fun, actiony flic out of the franchise its Michael Bay!
