Should I read the SW Ep III spoilers?
For Ep 2, I practically knew the whole movie before I sat down in the theater. For Ep 1, I think I had read a few things here and there, and I think the best things spoilers are for are for keeping your anticipation on an even keel.
But I know nothing about ep 3. OK, maybe the bit about them having 70's hairdos, but that's about it.
Should I read some of them so I don't get too excited? For those that have read them, how are things looking? If final film is shaping up to be decent, just knowing that would help me stay spoiler free.
Can I get some opinions?

I've been. I figure, this time, after 2 relatively mediocre movies IMO, it's better to be "prepared" so to speak. Some of what I've read has been promising, some not.

I say do it. I keep telling myself it's OK to read them because this is the last time for the "hype" so to speak. I can honestly say I'm gonna miss checking various sites daily hoping to see the smallest spoiler. Even being spoiled and reading the novel for each of the movies I still enjoyed every minute of the past 2 movies. No they weren't great in comparison to the OT, but they were still Star Wars films and that was good enough for me.
I'll agree with an earlier post that some of the spoilers I've read regarding EP3 have been promising and others so-so. I'm sure we have the same ones in mind. I also remember reading "spoilers'' on a certain site that turned out to be false or ideas that were changed, but I say knock yourself out.

I'm going to read all the spoilers I can because I avoided all possible spoilers for the last 2 SW films and I hated them both. Maybe I'll enjoy Ep 3 more if I know what's going to happen going into the theatre.

At first I was thinking of going against the concensus but it's pretty obvious where the movie leads, so the ending won't be a big surprise.
Personally, I'm going to try to not find out little "surprises" that might happen during the movie. Even if the movie sucks, at least I could say "wow, didn't think THAT was going to happen"

you mean the one about
I already read that one..
Seriously though...after being majorly disappointed in AOtC*, i'd rather not know what's going on in the third. I already know the OBVIOUS basics, but as far as that, i'm gonna do my best to avoid 'em..

Ok, I read some.
Sigh.
What was I expecting?
It's just the same old song and dance from Lucas. Not that it's a bad thing, but who am I kidding, I know where this is going

I already saw Once Upon a time.. when you posted those.. not really a spoiler if it's already seen. 
as for the matrix promo's. think of them as the ad's, cause those are the ad's they will be running when they are all done and so forth.

I didn't know anything about ep1 or ep2 going into it and I was still disappointed. Actually that's not true - I knew that anakin was darth vader - cuz I saw ep 4, 5 and 6. I also know that anakin and amadala are gonna do it cuz luke and leah have to be born. Perhaps I've said too much.

I found out early about qui gon by accident and it still came as a surprise because though I knew he would eat it.. I didn't know where, when or how.
Like stated, reading it is one thing, seeing it on the screen is another.

The animated series will cover more ground, but are limited by time and scope.
I'm probably not alone in still being disappointed in waiting all these years and not seeing 3 movies about the clone wars.
Though I'm more disappointed in not seeing the Further, Further Adventures of Luke Skywalker...

I stand with Milo. for all these years we have heard rumors of the great clone war that luke's father faught along side with Obi. the hype, the excitement and all we get is a live version of the first and last battle. I'm not a fan of the animation of the clone war to begin with.. I can't say I'm not disappointed.

I guess I feel that most of the spoilers I read for the first two never came to be, so I will read the ones for Ep III.
