Thanks.

On another note, although I don't go to the theaters, I may go to see this movie.

Yeah, I might take a weekday off just to see it. :beaten:

Probably Friday, May 20, if the tickets haven't been sold out.

Disappointing or no, it's one of the big movie events of the year... :)

14 days to go, isn't it?

I duno, for me Star Wars has lost its magic, after all, I grew up with the original OT (just like I grew up with Spock and Kirk). I still remember seeing The Empire Strikes Back when I was 10 or 11... *sniffle* Now it's just commerce anymore (that and really bad fighting scenes plus some really below-average CGI effects).

Then again, no surprise, they've killed many good things in the past years. Batman, Catwoman, Star Trek (*eyes Enterprise*) now Star Wars... oh well.

Instead I go waiting for Sengoku jieitai 1549 and Otoko-tachi no Yamato, and (of course) for Azumi 2 to hit the DVD shelves :hehe:

Yup, two weeks from today. :)

Everyone's jaded now, I think. And maybe a little too critical/demanding. That's why some of the luster is gone... I can't say that Episodes 1 and 2 are better than any of the previous three, but they're not awful... It's always tough when you set the standard by which you'll always be judged against... The Matrix trilogy has/had the same problem.

You have to see the movie with an open mind else you're doomed.

I made the same comment last year when people ripped The Last Samurai for its historical inaccuracies and having mega-star Tom Cruise: if you've set your mind to dislike the movie for the above reasons, why go see it? So you can piss and moan more? Save yourself (and us) some grief... :)

There's supposed to be a pretty good buzz for Batman Begins... :D

I still think Lucas should be shot for inventing the Gungans :twisted:

I want Ewoks! Furballs! Yes! Those are scary... especially in SW Galaxies, Ewoks are killers there lol.

OR!

I just had THE idea for a new Star Wars movie... MIDGET WARS! Ewoks vs Jawas!

No disgustingly cute fuzzy animals or creatures... This ain't Sesame Street...!

Wookiees are fuzzy, same goes for Bothans :twisted:

But we can always stick to the good old twi'lek mud wrestling *COUGH!*

Princess Leia was cute. Not Wookies or Bothans.

That she was, and even better... she also kicked ass.

Then we must agree that she looked awfully hot at Jabba the Hutt's side in that slave-girl outfit...

Indeed, though I always liked her best in that white jumpsuit she was wearing in the end of ESB. RAWR!
