If 7, 8, and 9 is coming, then likely the story would be called, Dark Empire and I used to read Dark Empire on comic books in few years ago.

I liked it so much i'm going to see it again on friday.

After seeing Ep III i hope lucas will consider making more star wars films.

There were some parts that just made me giggle, thinking "hehe, that was SO cool". Surely i wasn't the only one here who thought "dude! don't do it!" when anakin was deciding whether to kill mace windu or not.

There will be a TV series that takes place between 3 and 4..and some kind of animated series..from what I've read on the intardnet

Yes and he is re-doing the entire 6 episodes for 3D release and Imax. I heard it from Lucas himself on CNN saturday. Not sure of the Eta but my guess is probably next year. Remember when he re did the first 3 and released them for 1 month each with all new sound and images.

The same CNN interview he said the tbd shows will have no characters from the saga.

One other thing what did Padme say to Obi wan right before she died. I missed that part.

Just got back from seeing it. My 8 year old daughter has become obsessed with the seriesover the last few months so I was left with little choice LOL.

Not a half bad flick.

One thing that struck me was near the end when Lord Vader was being repaired an they were putting the facesheild and helmet on him the look on his face as it closed in on him. And gave the sense of entrapment of the dark side.

Least thats the sense I got from it

It also gave a sense of some wicked heads up display action. I wonder if he can get HBO on that thing... or if it helps him with witty comebacks, ala the cyborg in Terminator.

Cleaning Man at Flophouse: Hey, buddy. You got a dead cat in there, or what?
[the Terminator visualizes: 'POSSIBLE RESPONSE: YES/NO; OR WHAT?; GO AWAY; PLEASE COME BACK LATER; GOODNESS NO, MISTER; GOSH NO]
The Terminator: Goodness no, Mister!

I'm paraphrasing him slightly...

I dont think you are correct on that one. I will have to go to the video tape to be sure but I dont think that guys name was Antilles. If it was, then he must have changed sides at some point. If you recall from Episode 4, C-3PO makes the statement that a Mr. Antilles was he and R2's last owner. And Luke was friends with a guy named Wedge Antilles also.....possibly the Captian Antilles in Episode 3 was Luke's buddy's father or something but I dont think he would be the same guy that Vader chokes for failing to crush the Rebel Alliance.

She said there is still good in him. Tried to repeat it and died before finishing the sentence.

This action figure disagrees. The Tantive IV is Leia's ship, btw. Perhaps you're thinking of an imperial captain?

In my grand nerdiness, I will answer some of the questions here.

General Grevous is a cyborg according to some of the books and animated series. He is a biological being (race unnamed) that was crippled in a shuttle crash orchestrated by (surprise) the Emperor working through Count Dooku. The scrolling credits in the beginning of ep3 call him a droid, so there's a contradiction there. droid = robot, cyborg = living being who is mechanically augmented. He's obviously not a droid, since he coughs and you can see living tissue under his exoskeleton. Lucas screwed up his own movie there.

The Tantive IV is Leia's ship at the beginning of ep4. It is captained by captain antilles (no relation to wedge antilles, the rebel pilot who flies in ep4, 5, and 6). Captain Antilles of the Tantive IV takes posession of C-3PO and R2 after the implied memory wipe at the end of ep3. Captain Antilles gets choked by Vader in ep4.

The Tantive IV is the ship you see in ep3 and ep4. Princess Leia's full name is Leia Organa. Jimmy Smits character is Bail Organa. Jimmy Smits is Leia's adoptive father. Leia gets the ship through him. Jimmy Smits is a Senator from Alderaan (like Leia will be in the future). Jimmy Smits dies when alderaan gets torched in ep4.

Agreed. I felt chills when he told Obi Wan "You're either with me or you are my enemy". Or was it "You're either with me or against me"? Can't recall. Had a feeling things were moving in that direction, but it was pretty gutsy of Lucas anyway for such a major motion picture. I noted Padme's comment, too, on the death of Liberty happening to thunderous applause.

Think it will pass over many heads unnoticed?

there are 2 things that i am sad about.

#1........No more New Star Wars movies, i always looked forward to seeing the new ones.

#2........Technological down fall between III and IV. III is the most advanced movie as far as special effects i have ever seen. IV was the most advanced in the 1970's. So you can kind of see why im sad.

Personally I LOVED Episode III, best movie i have seen all year. I can all ready garuntee that by x-mas time for $100 you can buy all 6 episodes. Good X-mas present for the ones you love. *Cough* HINT HINT *Cough*

Yeah I was thinking about a different guy that Vader chokes later in the series....might even be in Empire Strikes Back. I knew he choked a guy at the beginning of Ep 4 also and I did review the tape but they never mention who the guy is. I guess by his uniform we can assume that it is Captain Antilles. You would think a guy would move up in rank or something or get a better gig somewhere in the 20 yrs or whatever its supposed to be between Ep 3 and Ep 4. All that time and he is still Captain Antilles? Not very ambitious of him.....

I was at the end of a 6-pack (hooray for Alamo Draft Houses!) by the frankenstein scene.. so I could be wrong... but I thought he turned the droids over to Wedge Antilles, later seen as a Rebel general... or maybe Wedge = Captain Antilles's kid? The guy that runs Rogue Squadron in the books.

Lmao damn good idea. the thought didnt occur to me untill you just mentioned it.

What thought did pass through my mind though.

I guess I can understand how it would chenge how deep your voice is but..
I wanna know how putting on a Vader helmet changes your voice from having an american accent to having a Shaksperian one?
