Hi all

I am back after a long time (missed me?), so anyone here got the EpIII PS2/xbox game? 15mins of film footage, the film's trailer, and a review by someone i trust (Kevin Smith) promises that Epi III will be on par with the original trilogy and not just another CGI cheesy kids movie (Epi I).

What do you reckon on this?

The advertisements I've seen for it looked pretty sweet! I played the first one and liked it.

how is the EP3 game? I crack up everytime I see the commercial where the guy uses the force push to knock the paperboy off his bike.

 

[COmtbiker12]

I'm hoping to go see it immediately after school on opening day.

 

[golgiaparatus]

Going to the first showing In town. Should be crazy loaded with Jedi's, and Darth Vaders, and storm troopers. If I can sneek my big ass e20 in there I will so yoou guys can have a laugh too

As for the movie... I think it looks pertty sweet so far. Im my opinion it wasnt the CGI that ruined the last movies. It was all the bad dialogue, it was ripe with bad dialogue, especially the 2nd movie I'm sure there will be horrid dialogue in this one too. I just want to see the emperor weild a light saber and darth vader be born

What's the idea behind the Starwars EPIII game for xbox. Are you just playing the movie out? Or is it a little like Knights of the Old Republic-style. OH! I'm such a geek.

 

[math2014]

You play the movie out but it is AS good if not better to Return of the king video game... same style exactly

 

[dh girlie]

Be sure you post pictures of you in your costumes and mpgs of your scene re-enactments!

 

[Superdeft]

call me a geek but...

The last one was so ridden with clichés and awful dialogue I ended up lauging at the serious parts. The asteriod belt chase scene with the mines was really cool, but I'm pretty sure Lucas contracted the writing job out to the local pre-school. What happened to han solo-eaque crazyness ?! - seem like it's all cg and serious (albeit dumb) lines with drama now.

but just the same I still can't wait to see a 300-pound storm trooper with a tub of popcorn and a lightsabre.

 

[math2014]

well i can tell you from the game that EIII is TOO dark.... Anakin (Vader called now in the movie) storms the Jedi temple and demolishes EVERYTHING.

George Lucas is a world class Asshat.*

-S.S.-

*I think RM himself coined this phrase

 

[dh girlie]

I think I saw the real life Comic Book guy from the Simpsons in Walgreens the other day...he had the sides of his head shaved and the rest of his longish hayer was in a pony tail...and he had the full goatee...and he was fat...and he had star wars pins...like hat pins you see on cowboy hats...all over his Walgreens vest...like at least 10 of em...

That is how it is in the book. Kills little kiddies to.

I guess you never the noticed Oscar winning dialogue in Episodes 4-6.

 

[BMXman]

I will be seeing it on the 19th...took the day off ...right now I'm playing rebulic commando way to much though...D

I'm assuming as you go to the dark side you end up stomping everything around you...a natural progression.

Somebody once told me that Lucas let his kids help direct episodes 1 and 2. Hence the presence of everybody's favorite Jar Jar Binks. I don't know if there is any truth to this, but honestly I don't really care.

 

[dwaugh]

I got my tickets for the 20th. Should be a good movie, people are saying it is the second best one so far, after empire strikes back.

I heard he let his kids name some of the characters. They would look at something on the street and say "blaahhahgg"...Oh! That's alien #2's name!

That is exactly why I don't understand why so many people are upset with how "bad" Episode 1 and 2 were. It's not like the Star Wars movies ever had any real depth. It's basic good vs. evil with cool special effects. It always has been. It's like people were expecting George Lucas to re-invent the wheel or something with Ep I.

 

[BMXman]

I didn't know the Episode 3 game was out yet....damn more time locked up in the house ....D

 

[Hungry_Hank]

i plan on spending the day before playing the game, then seeing the movie at 12:01 the next "morning". I can't wait!!!!

Lucas sort of did reinvent the wheel with the original 3 star wars movies. He invented more movie special effects with the original star wars than just about any movie ever made.

i went with over $200 and bought like 20 tickets to the midngiht showing of star wars. A whole bunch of us are going early and bringing lawn chairs for fun.

"but i wanted to go to Toshi station to get some power converters"

"boba fett? bobba fett?"

I think it's boba fett

I just finished watching Return of the Jedi on tv...I almost had tears in my eyes when Anakin finally died at the end.

I'm not sure if you're defending the new films by saying the old writing was good, or agreeing with me about the crappy new writing but comparing the fact that the old writing was sub-par as well...

Even if the old movies writing was awful, it's been heard and re-watched so many times, quoted, immitated, and repeated to the point where the initial impression of (any) literary or poetic value is nearly irrelevant, so it's very hard to compare our reaction to these films with that of the new ones which havn't had as much time to gel in the minds of the general pop.

Just found out I'll be hitting the midnight showing on the 19th at the Uptown in DC with my office mate who got me a ticket as a thank you for overhauling his bike.
