    OT: New Star Wars

    Anyone see the new trailer? It looks pretty Phatt. Lots of Jedi stuff, light sabers.

    It opens May 16. I'll be there.

    New Spiderman flick looks promising too.

    You can see Boba Fett (as a child) in the trailer for a split second. When Obi-Wan says "They are using a bounty hunter named Jango Fett to create an army of clones...wait!" and he activates the lightsaber, right when it shows Jango Fett in the rain, look behind in the upper left corner and you'll see a small boy running up a ramp into the ship.

    Also when Mace Windu is talking and says "there aren't enough Jedi, we're keepers of peace, not soldiers..." look in the background and you can see the red Imperial Royal Guards from Return of the Jedi.

    I myself can't wait to see the lightsaber fighting, especially Anakin using 2 lightsabers. I heard that Yoda is going to fight in the movie against the bad guy at the end (he is the old **** that says "Join me Obi-Wan, together we can destroy the Sith!"). Supposedly the old guy lays it down on Anakin, then Yoda comes in and kicks the **** outta him Jackie Chan style.

    There is no world in which a Kermit the Frog puppet laying down a Jackie Chan style beating is going to be anything but comedy.

    This is a serious mistake.

    Chang, actually he is computer generated, and supposedly ILM says they pulled off a good job. That is of course unless its a lie. Might be, I remember reading that Darth Maul was a modified clone of Obi-Wan and someone even got a picture of Darth Maul and Obi-Wan and the heads were the exact same size and shape.

    I've even heard one rumor, ok, John Williams (the guy who does the music) says George already wrote the next movie and the ending is going to shock us as much as "No Luke, I am your father..." type stuff. Someone said they think Obi-Wan and Yoda die and are somehow able to return from the dead and that is why when they died in the original trilogy, the body disappeared (unlike Vader's body and Qui-Gon Jinn in the last movie). Seems pretty cool and certainly would shock us. You gotta remember, Yoda is one of the strongest Jedi and Obi-Wan is pretty strong himself. So how were they able to hide from Vader and the Emperor so long? Maybe `cause they really were already dead. Who knows?

    I, for one, thought that Episode 1 sucked so much of the incredible dangle the donkey dong that I had no interest in seeing this one. The first "breathing" trailer of Episode II and the subsequent love trist trailers further made me believe that this move would truly be a galactic waste of time and money.

    But that last trailer was pretty fu(kin bad ass. Maybe worth a matine.

    I read the script review of Yodas fight with Count Doku, there is some lightsaber dueling (next to Mace Yoda is the best duelist of his time) but it is mostly some creative using of the force. I dont want to spoil it for you guys though.......

    ok, I am an admitted SW geek!

    I don't buy the Hype

    I'm with Chang style novice... unless yoda is using some of the same tactics that vader used when he tossed siht at luke in empire, I think its gonna be pure kiddy carp just like the first movie.
    I mean I waited years for that movie, and what do they give me a a giant commercial for action figures with maybe 45 minutes of good footage or relavent story line.
    I think Lucas is just being plain greedy, I mean come on the boy band tart that is now in the movie, is just a ploy to pull in an audience outside of the normal starwars viewers. I would not be surprised if nysnch or what ever band that little flop is in comes out with a music video for the movie.
    I think the most realistic commentary that I have heard about this movie is that it will be "Dawson's creek in a galaxy far far away"

    However, let me state that I want nothing more than to be wrong...

    p.s. Yoda should be a puppet, cgi is not the same.

    I would love to see Darth Maul reserect and de-capitate n-sync.

    I"m not sayin' you can't make a good duel between Yoda and whatever human sized opponent - remember the homunculus in one of those Sinbad movies? I just don't trust Lucas to do it.

    Inside info

    I went to school with a guy who worked on the set and he didn't really give a **** about the non-disclosure contract. I didn't want to get him in trouble so I didn't ask him anything, but he told me there is a huge melee at the end - about 5000 clones against 250 Jedi. He said it looked awesome.

    For a bunch of Kung Fu Guys who have seen little oriental men throw around big Americans, you have no faith in Yoda!

    From what I have read he will be using 2 short sabers and the scenes will look like Philippino Escrima, personally I am stoked!

    Yoda will kick arse!
