For me, the absolute biggest plot hole created by the prequels was how Obi-Wan suddenly needs reminded by Yoda in ESB that Luke has a twin sister.

Give us ep 7, 8, and 9 or be done with us... you're like a fucking crack dealer, giving us little dribs and drabs of shit, keeping us on the hook, when we are all really hanging around for the big pay out, the SEQUELS to the original trilogy.
I've wished for years for 7, 8 and 9, but I have to say the Animated Clone Wars shorts were far from lackluster. They're basically the saving grace of the PT, and I think this new series will help in that regards also.
I am very stoked to see this, as it does feel closer in spirit to the original trilogy, than the political intrigue and whatnot of the prequels ever did.
And I do enjoy the prequel movies, but the Clone Wars series is a necessity for viewing the entire saga.

You got a problem with me being here Terrell? Being tired of Star Wars means I won't spring for $10 to see a "movie" but doesn't mean I can't comment on what I have already seen.
Besides I like pointing how George Lucas raped my childhood and stole my babies.

Don't know if I'll see the "movie" in theaters, but I'm definitely looking forward to this series. If it can capture the same fun factor as the animated series, we'll be in for a treat I think. Who'd have thought Lucas would be outdone by the animated spin-offs?

I like the idea of an animated version but to be totally honest the last three movies were all so fake looking and over the top I fear this new film will sadly offer anything new or exciting. I do think the characters look very cool and stylized but action wise I am not impressed yet.

Ill see it, but I really just want Dark Empire or something after Episode 6 made. I'm burned out on prequel stuff.

I've cooled down in my fervor of Star Wars for years now, but new major material always excites. I'll probably catch it in the theatres. I don't have any real expectations for it so, I just want to be entertained.

The trailer looks alright. They did a good job of reproducing the animated Clone Wars style character designs through CG, and I know the plastic look to everything is intended but it comes across a bit like one long video game cutscene. Some of the shots, like the shots of Yoda near the beginning, seem to be aping shots from the prequel trilogy as well. Not sure if I'll catch it in the theater, but I'll probably pick it up on Blu-ray.
Oh, and what's up with Warner distributing this instead of Fox? I thought Fox was the distributor for all things Star Wars.

I'd be way more excited about this if it was something totally different in the Star Wars universe. Give us Knights of the Old Republic, or something after the original trilogy. I'm just pretty sick of the Episode 1 through Episode 3 time frame...

Well, it was never meant to be super high quality. This is essentially the first three episodes of the show put together isn't it? I'm sure it'll look fine at home (hopefully on Blu-Ray).




Yet here you are. I see Star Wars threads on this forum haven't changed a bit.
