According to George Lucas, Episode III is going to be a real tearjerker, and I know that lots of you guys who posted in the trailer thread are going to be real excited about that.
He’s actually compared it to James Cameron’s Titanic, which considering Lucas’ recent history directing actual actors… what he just did was give a few hundred film critics cannon fodder for their reviews. Cameron may be an arrogant SOB, but one thing he knows how to do is to combine larger (action/SFX) and smaller (relationships) aspects of a movie into a cohesive whole. I’ll be stunned if Lucas manages to create that balance in Revenge of the Sith.
Having said that, I hope he does pull it off. The main problem for me with the prior two films is that I didn’t have a sense of connection with Anakin. At all.
But there’s always hope…

Where did Lucas get the idea that fans of the Star Wars series would also enjoy tearjerkers? The only “tearjerker” moment for me was when I saw Episode I back in 1999 and realized that Lucas had officially run one of my favorite movie franchises into the ground.
I’m becoming more convinced every day that Episode III is going to be a crapfest.

I think that Episode III by necessity must be dark, but sad? The implication is that we should care about Anakin, and based on the previous two films, I don’t.

My thing about Episode III is which side to take, Obi Wan’s or Anakin’s??? Jedi or Sith???
I hope this film disturbs me the way it did when I was 10.
There will be tears in my eyes that’s for sure!
the empire rules !!! HAIL to the emperor & the SITH !!!!
