Look on the bright side, at least Derek isn't making EpIII.

Indeed:lol:

There's a bright side to not having Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots?

You've got me there.

Comment on General Grievious: Even two lightsabers were an overkill in Jedi Academy(the game ). Four lightsabers is simply too much for me to digest.
Comment on Episode I saberfight: They were not exhausted becase they are JEDI! The scene when Dath Maul is sliced in half is also wrong a bit. But that's still better than the scene when Darth Vader was knocked to the floor in the Return of the Jedi.
[EDIT] I liked all five episodes yet. And I will also like Ep. III. I do not know what your problem is with the Geonosis battle, it was at least as good as any of the battle scenes from Troy.

The main problem I had with TPM sabre battle is that, while it looks very cool, it doesn't look right - I think I figured out why; First of all, the stikes are all very 'soft', no momentum or apparent force - This is semi-acceptable since they are suppsoed to be wielding blades made out of truncated beam-cannon beams
However, the other thing is that NONE of the three are actually trying to hit their opponent, they're trying to hit their sabre-blade!

The battles in the original trilogy were a lot less flashy, but the strikes had more weight and momentum in them and they were actually aimed at body-parts, not thin-air

Now see, if I ever had a light-sabre, I'd disable whatever it is that limits it to ~1m in length and just blast the guy from long range...

EvilSithGuy: "Pathetic Jedi, prepare to meet your doom!" *extends twin triple-bladed light-sabres*

Me: "Jedi? No no, look, it says GTVA! Pfft, Jedi." *presses a button marked 'VSlash'* "Commence plasma-core insertion..." *zzzzzBZZZZT!*

Me: "I win!"

lightsabers have no weight bar the hilt. so little inertia by the strikes can be explained right there and then.

Yeah, I know, I said that!

But they way they were fighting, it looked better with the more weighty-forceful blows of the original-trilogy battles IMHO.

The thing with light (weight) bladed fighting, e.g. rapiers or fencing, is that you would be moving around a LOT more to get better position and dodge attacks, but in that battle they actually moved relatively little while they were swinging at each other, trying to hit each other's sabres

*spoilers*

for the fans who like the star wars fights the big fight scene rumor is that it is going to be 12 minutes long without any interruptions

theres also a space battle at the beginning that will make the one in ROTJ seem small.

It is well-known that there is much in Episode III to be shown. Anakin must turn to the Dark side, several Jedi should die, Palpatine must seize his ' finalposition'.
And I would like to comment it in spolier:

Spoiler:

Dooku will certainly not survive. I think he will either be killed by Anakin or Windu.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

But when will C3PO forget that he was ever on Tatooine, thereby allowing him to not recognise the Lars family in A New Hope?

[BlackDove]

Oh dear god...General Grievus, kill me now.

[Rampage]

The first Star Wars movie ever (A New Hope) was about the only one I really liked.  I like realism - and not that crap you see later that combines the terrible inbalance of mysticism and technology.

And another thing - I prefer science fiction films to somewhat be true to its physics - or have its own physics derivative.

First of all the thing about "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." ticked me off immediately, even though it was in the first film and became the official banner of Star Wars.

Again, the most annoying thing with Star Wars is its misuse of physics.  In the first film, magnetic fields were constantly misused - as was the case in other films.  In the next film, was good - but not AS good as the first.  The asteroid belt that Solo was in actually should be the planetary ring, and not to mention the asteroid worm monster in zero gravity (is it Shivan?).

It was then when Lucas changed his target audience from science nerds to just kids.  The Ewok - well, I never liked that scene.  They seemed cheesy.  Then came the Phantom Menance, which was nothing but a fancy show of 3DS MAX (the ideal movie-editing tool used in the industry) that seemed to ONLY targeted kids.

Certainly politics was added to the 21th Century films, but come on - they weren't politics.  It was really sour - what Lucas did to implement econo-poli-sci into the film.  And plus - it was made for kids.

The Clone Wars film was, I think, a big failure on Lucas' part to impress the sci-fi community.  Basically the Phantom Menance gave me a dislike for the movies, but this film really killed it for me.  It was good to see less mysticism and more science, but the robot who had to tweak his voice protocol in order to speak correctly was way too much - get Microsoft SAM SDK or something!  But that rag on that banker (ohh - I forgot his name in real life) by the alien (his speech and visage) was priceless!  And finally, the arena scene with the beasts was too divergent - what is it?  Sparticus?

General Grevious?  It's a name that only kids could understand!  Ohh - - four light sabers, daddy!  Kool!

So here the bottom line - Lucas spoiled it for me.  And now, I'm going to dig up my Star Trek movies and TV recordings - and watch them!

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Oh go and write for the SWTC you pedantic bastard.

[vyper]

It's a film.

[Admiral Nelson]

I believe that this film correctly describes how the plot of Episode I & II came to be:

At least we will see more from that battle than we did in the Return of the Jedi.

Dunno. Theoretically, his memory will be erased. I think I will be spending my next hours on starwars.com.
[EDIT] I find no official info about it.
