New Star Wars film bloodiest star wars film ever Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertai...ilm/4513837.stm

for blood. Although the English have a strange definition of bloody. But I don't think they are using their slang word here.

Lucas almost sounds like a decent person saying he had to tell a story, and if it had to be PG-13 to tell it, then so be it. It almost makes me think he isn't the satan of movie marketing. But he's probably just follwing the Lord of the Rings model which were PG-13 movies that did very well in all demographics- including the kids.

And I'm getting exited he may have done what we all hoped for. Jar Jar Binks being tortured to death by Anakin.

Yes I've bad mouthed the first 2 films, but I never got duped on those. I knew they would be crap, and didn't even see them in the theater. but am I stupid for getting my hopes up for this one?

This one looks like it'll be the best of the more modern ones. At the very least we'll get closure on the series.

Nah, Jar Jar's not important enough. He'll probably be shot by droids.

I want to know why Anakin doesn't kill Obi-Wan first.

I'll see it at the cinema, movies are just better to view at the cinema overall imho. I'll see it shortly after it comes out, when the crowds start thinning so I don't have to put up with all the Star Wars geeks that'll go in the first few days.

yeah may 19 th. That's what you get for listening to your wife. . She probably was going to drag you to the theater in hopes of seeing star wars, but when it's not there, she'll convince you to see some chick flick since you are already at the theater.

The empire designed all its weapons before anyone had invented ropes. The rebels' use of ropes during the attacks on Hoth and the ambush on Endor's moon were a complete shock to the Empire, who were unaccustomed to the idea that walkers could be made to trip.

Well, they had hovering drones, so why didn't they make armored hovering weapons platforms? It seems so obvious.

I'm told that a blaster uses a laser to propel a slug of metal from the barrel. Why? Why not just use the laser as a weapon?

A. It's going to be a great movie. I liked AotC, and this will be, by far, the darkest movie of the series yet.

B. Who says I'm waiting in line? I didn't see I was going to see the midnight showing!

IIRC, it's always been a Thursday release. It's to get a better weekend number, I think. Maybe get the people who show up on midnight the first night come back on that Saturday?

Because they don't want anti-social, pyschopaths disrupting the viewing pleasure of others who are in the theater.

You mean on DVD or in the theater for the third time (since they already showed the first trio in the theater a second time)?
