Star Wars II - can't wait - or can I?

"Attack of the clones" - Reminds me too much of that song "Send in the Clowns"

I think it will do great, but there may be one problem. It is slated to open up against Spiderman.

Spiderman looks to be a great movie, I wonder how they will each do.

Do you think Star Wars will not have such a large showing, because of the title, or will it be as big as the first?

Supposedly with the negative response there was to Jar Jar Binks in the first one he will have a vary limited role in the Star Wars II. Hopefully that holds true. And why the heck would they take a good title like The clone wars and turn it into some 1950's B horror movie and call it "Attack of the clones". If George Lucas has any sense too him he'll find somebody else to write his movies. the onyl thing he seems to be good for is the money.

Isnt it a bit too soon to be dissapointed? Just wait 'till after you see the movie.

I dunno... "The Empire Strikes Back" just doesn't have the camp sound of "Attack of the Clones". Of course it was also the best movie of the lot to this point... so maybe this title won't seem so bad if the movie is strong enough to overcome it.

I'm still looking forward to it, but it's got some stiff competition this year for the hearts of sci-fi and fantasy buffs... the "same old same old" isn't going to cut the mustard.

The Spiderman trailer did look awesome... if that movie does well I expect to see "Justice League" within a year or two, which would kick butt.

Attack of the Clones.....whoo

Saying that though Empire Strikes Back isnt exactly the best title in the world
Ive not looked into trailers or anything, I want to be totally suprised but Im assuming its following the Clone Wars..I guess a good title isn't high on the agenda and its gonna sell bucket loads whatever its called.
Won't outsell LOTR i guess but LOTR is new..Star Wars is onto its 5th film after 3 decades....gonna take a lot to beat total sales
Lets see how much LOTR sells towards the end......Im guessing is only 3 movies? Not read the book or seen the film, not fussed really [img]smile.gif[/img]
Give me a lightsabre and the force any day ! hehe

Jar Jar Binks ! After all the stuff about him , you think they would have totally not even considered giving it a part in any more films

All I know about the film is Samuel L Jackson has a purple lightsabre cos he asked for it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color="lightgreen"> Hey, whys everyone hate JarJar Binks ?? I absolutely LOVED him!!

Also, the scripts for all the movies were writen before A New Hope was released... (this from many reliabale sources BTW)... they released A New Hope first because it was a big adventure one.

So basically, JarJar wont simply be left out of the entire story... he will play a role if only in the first half hour or so. If he isnt in most of the plot, then he wont simply be left out... he will be writen out.

Im hoping that Darth Vader makes an appearance in this film... or at least that Anaking begins to turn to the Dark Side.</font>

Uncle George wrote the "outlines" of the story before ANH was released, the backstory (i.e the script) was written with that outline in mind right after Episode 1. GL always starts working on the script for the next one after finishing a new one.

And I hope Darth Vader won't make an apearance util the very end of Episode 3, it will be an awesome end of the movie

I think Samuel L Jackson is a brilliant actor - one of the best IMHO. And a purple lightsabre! - good idea, time to get a bit more adventurous if you ask me.

Another question you might ask, is now that Episode 1 has been released on DVD, will Episode II follow suit? and when the HECKL will we be able to get DVD VErsions of the first three movies?? heheh Yeah Im anxious for the next episode, but Im not sure that it can match LotR or HP.

After the The Phantom Menace im just not very interested any more, it was such a travesty. They should have just left things the way they were.
