I'm looking forward to it, but I've tempered any excitement about it by recalling how disappointing "Kangaroo Jack" was :p
You'd think a movie with Jerry O'Connell AND a talking kangaroo would be above and beyond, but it wasn't

NAh. To old for that camping stuff. :D
As usual, once the non-sense is over, there will be plenty of time to go see it.
But I must say, Star Wars doesn't do it for me, maybe when I was a kid, but now? Plus... we all know what will be happening, don't we?

"He took your money...and he isn't giving it back."
i think this will be the best one of the new three(like thats not a no brainer) but i really am holding out hope that it will be a great movie, i read that when steven Speilberg saw it at a recent screening he openly wept at the end!?!
i know we all know whats going to happen, but maybe we will get a suprise or two, then again maybe not
may the force be with you

If she won't do it in a film playing a stripper, then there's more than likely not a snowball's chance in hell of that ever happening.

But she DID! And we can all blame Mike Nichols for cutting the full frontal scenes she filmed.

It might appear on a director's cut special version DVD, then

I think she deserves some of the credit for those scenes ending up on the cutting room floor as well.

What would be her point in playing these scenes and then wanting to have them cut? Methinks it's a commercial trick. You'll have them on a special DVD edition (to be released 2 months after the standard one).

And then the world will realize how perfect her lithe little body is 
offtopic, Natalie was great in "Garden State" last year. Apart from the juggernaut "Wars" features, she's generally great (she's underused in those) 
oh im going oh yes im going,if only to wind my missus up.
i bought one of them lightsabers off firebox.com and fuck its ace,everyone whos seen it wants one.
i keep telling her that as soon as the credits start up at the begining its woosh time with the saber in the fliks,stood on my seat waving it around my head.
and when an usher rushes over to tell me to sit down ill tell him im his father ect.
and now shes threatening not to go,wonder why
The first one was piss, the second was on par with the original trilogy, and with the violence and tragedy upped (a PG-13?!), it seems that the acting and story rise above the mega-SFX. Only time will tell. I'll see it the opening week, NOT the opening day, and I will NOT camp in front of the theatre the week before (saw some goons setting up a camp at the edge of the local Regal...I wish I could release the hounds )

YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Now you've ruined it for me...thanks! 
I suppose you're gonna say that Darth is Luke's dad too, huh? Not that I would believe that
Or that Yoda dies...?! Let me guess, he disappears like Obi-Wan and joins the Ewoks in a celebratory Robot dance at the end of Return of the Jedi?!
Bastard.
at least there are wookies in this one and not ewoks, thats gotta make it better right there.
well only a few more days, i dont know if im feeling excitement

I am looking forward to seeing it, but I am not going to ever camp out for a movie. I did that once for a Smashing Pumpkins signing, and I am never doing again. Mind you, I only camped out for less than a day, rather than a month or two like some Star Wars fanatics are doing for each movie.

Which Pumpkins' signing did you do that for? In 2000, I camped out in Philly but I was still about 3 blocks away.
I camped out for the Toronto signing. We basically stayed in line on an honour system, where a group of us would go into Burger King or Tim Hortons (because they are the only thing in the middle of the night around that area) to warm up occassionally. It had been unseasonably warm spring weather in late February, early March but then the night before the signing, there was a blizzard..fun.
Much more like it. Certainly the best of the prequels by far. Very very dark and plenty of action.

Tim ho's rocks. I moved away from buffalo, and miss their peanut donuts. Cant find them in nyc.
I actually saw on the first nite as a favor to a friend. Im not really into star wars but was pleasantly suprised by it. Very dark, epic, shakesparean.
I must be honest here... it's the first Star Wars movie that I actually enjoyed a lot.
You know, others were ok, but it's "Star Wars", so you know what to expect and it was ok, but nothing great.
But this one is simply amazing... 2h30 that feels like 10 minutes...
Maybe I was the same when the first one came out, but I was so young that I can't say, and I watched Return of the Jedi on our TV when it just came out in video...
Episode I and II, liked them, but well, wasn't hooked.. but now I am.
Seriously, the CGI are so wonderful you don't notice them...
Anyways, was worth it, even if I saw the french translation! I'll have to listen to it in english to ear James Earl Jones once again ;)
Not that Lucas hasn't screwed up the originals enough, but he should really go back and fix up the puppet Yoda and puppet Jabba, as well as the stop-motion Taun-Tauns and AT-AT walkers...they are really looking dated.
The new Yoda could be so much more interesting if he did a little more in The Empire Strikes back...The CGI in the prequels is very cool.
He should also fix all the crap he thought he fixed, like the Jabba scene with Han, Greedo shooting first, and the terrible Boba Fett dialogue that was overdubbed with the new actor...it was totally un-Boba Worthy.
I left the theater with only one thought....where the f#$* was Han Solo? :(
Going by the chronology, Han had to be a few years older than Luke/Leia, and Chewbacca even made an appearance. So why no Solo?
Otherwise, it was great (certainly the best of the prequels)

Hmmm...maybe because Harrison Ford is old enough to play the Emperor now.

Could be a younger actor playing the role (as long as he's got Harrison's trademark scar)

But River Phoenix is already long dead. Maybe Lucas is afraid to doom another young actor to death with the curse of INDY.
hmm, i must say i´m disappointed with this one. even though i think is the best of the prequels we must admit that it wasn´t too hard to beat Episodes I and II. the main problems remain on the 3 of them IMHO. the actors are bad or act below their capabilities, depending the case. and the special effects are over the quality of the script. i really was hoping more of this one. yeah, we knew how it would end but i was hoping for better resolutions of the main stories. Anakin goes to the dark side with almost no conflict at all. the love affair with Padme is almost untouched. the twins are born and named quite quickly. the inclusion of Chewbacca, Jar Jar and Qui Gonn on the story are certainly unnecessary (they add more confusion to someone who watched the 6 episodes more than once!). the jedis die with almost no opposition, making them look a lot more stupid than they made us think they were. Mace Windu and the Emperor are a lot more fragile than they should be according to the powers they must had... and many more!

Hell yeah, you think with it being a 12A/PG -13 rating they'd have sneaked abit of tit in there haha, it worked for titanic
That's all (the new) Star Wars is, one great big computer generated effect. Once you get past the cliched reactions of most fans "whoa dude KEWLLLL lightsabre fights" there isn't really much there. Wooden actors, dialogue a five year old could do a better job of, and essentially no storyline beyond what your average Star Wars fan already knew. There were moments in Ep III when I was squirming in my seat at the sheer awfulness of the script I gladly shelled out for the first 3 on DVD but I won't be buying this one.
The original trilogy were a great set of films and still look realistic today, I really wanted the new ones to be in that same league. I agree with that reply that Lucas screwed up by "CGIing the old ones up", that was one of the dumbest things I'd seen. He did that four or five years ago and they were such bloody pointless additions nobody noticed them in the end... Lucas: "Yah, I thought that bar scene needed another alien or two", he must've been well bored. A film captures a moment in time, going back and inserting new stuff ruins that moment.
It's sad but Lucas has shifted the bar from creating interesting and memorable stories to simply inserting overactive CGI sequences and endless lightsabre fights to cover up the fact he's out of ideas. So much more could have been done with the SW universe of characters at his disposal There are some cracking SW games and books out there, I think the reason the new trilogy has been such a disaster is that he insisted on writing, producing and directing it all himself. Meglomania if you ask me. The best SW films, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were directed by someone else and it shows.
Ally.
Disaster?
Not according to Lucas' bank account though... 
But obviously when you compare this to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it's not in the same league.
But still, I had fun watching all these... how I should seriously watch the 3 of them in one shot when I'll have the DVD for Episode 3... I don't even remember Episode 2 !!
