I think Irvin Kirshener knew exactly what he was getting himself into when he signed on to direct Empire, he knew it was George's baby, and it's a credit to Irvin that it turned out as well as it did, I guess it's also a credit to it's director that Empire is the film least tampered with in the special editions.

I don't mind the idea of Chewie appearing in Ep 3, it kind of works for me that Obi -wan and Chewie knew of each other before meeting in the cantina, it was almost as if Obi-wan knew exactly who he was looking for, when searching for passage to Alderaan, and considering the legendary loyalty of wookiees and the urgent secracy surrounding the Jedi, Vader and his childrens identities, I can understand how Chewbacca could have kept this knowledge from Han in later years as his co-pilot.

Episode Three Spoiler or No Spoilers?

I managed to stay fairly spolier free for Attack of the Clones, mostly because The Phantom Mentalcase turned me off Star Wars for a while and I wasn't actively looking for information on the net, so I was able to walk into the theatre without any idea of what I was about to see, and admittedly my expectations were extremely low, apart from laughing in all the wrong places at the atrocious dialogue and bad acting I actually quite enjoyed the film, it was by no means in the same league as the original trilogy, but it did have some of that old starwars magic I remembered as a kid, and was a damn site better than Episode 1.

while I would like to remain as spoiler free for episode 3 as I was with episode 2, there is that part of me thats curious about the little tid-bits of information that bubble to the surface without digging too hard for the information, ( I guess its the same part that used to hunt through my parents bedroom looking for hidden x-mas presents, and then shaking the wrapped presents under the xmas tree.)

I think it would have been a great Idea for Naboo to be destroyed in Ep 3, it never made sense that such an important planet in the prequals doesn't get any mention at all in the original trilogy, I figured it must have been destroyed at some stage although I'm not sure how, Han seemed to think it was impossible to destroy a planet in ANH 'that's impossible, it would take more star destroyers with more fire power than i can possibly imagine....."(or words to that effect, I'm going by memory)

as far as Lucas and co being lazy with the dvd fixes, It always worried me that he spent more time and energy adding new cartoony sight-gags than on fixing some shots, such as the still glaring mattboxes on the tie-fighters in the Han/luke gun turret scene, if any thing the matts seem more noticable now than ever before, but I must admit to being a bit lost about the whole 'green' sabre thing on board the falcon, I mean it does look a weird teal colour but I don't see the green? especially not to the extent of that screen capture (is that for real or touched up?)

He aims to become the most powerful Jedi ever but his Dark Side energies corrupt the light force power and rejected shoot down into the planet's core causing terrible planet-wide earthquakes.

A quick shot of Ootah Gungah revelas it to have been instantly vaporised by jets of lava racing to the surface.

The ground around him cracks open with eruptions of steam and fire


HEY! isn't that the last 10 minutes of TOTAL RECALL??

Lack of humanity in prequels?

THE WHOLE PROBLEM WITH THE aNAKIN /pADME ROMANCE (oops hate capslock!) was that it was too deliberate and contrived, it would have been a far more believable, and more exciting for the audience if they had been drawn together through conflict or in the heat of battle , rather than a relaxing weekend of stilted pretentious dialogue at Padme's summerhouse!(yawn!).

in my movie I would have had the pair's transport ship come under attack whilst en-route to Naboo, had them narrowly escaping capture and perhaps even crash landing an escape pod on TAttooine and beefing up the search for Anakin's mother, by -passing Naboo all-together.
