[iliang86]

i just got my tickets to the may 19th 12:00AM showing..haha yah im a dork. anyone else psyched for the 3rd one?

[karrar]

SIKED !!!!!!!! psh my life shall be centered around star wars for the next month . i work at a theater so im gonna go see it on break

[inlonelinessidie]

I SO wanna see it opening day. Eeeep.

[azn_r4pf4n]

i heard there was like an early viewing for those in san francisco. it costs $500 per person, but it's for charity.

[MrElsewhere]

i'm gonna go see it at the midnight opening on my field trip to Oregon =] My teacher is such a big star wars nerd.

[eli5e]

yea lol ... alot of people is OVERexcited about it... lol ...i mean i gues ill watch it when it comes out.

[Saeglopur]

Right this moment ... it has so many things going for it ... wow. More than the first two episodes. Everyone's commercializing it - even Cheetos is doing it! I don't want my tongue to associated with Darth Vader or Yoda!

[Chii]

i have never seen a complete star wwars movie, just bits and pieces of the first few which i didn't like...i read today that umm george lucas? or whatever his name is wants to make star wars a tv show...i doubt that will work out, a tv show needs a lot of storylines and there have been so many star wars movies, he'll have to run out of ideas eventually.

[JC4P]

i already got my tickets but just to get good seats (its sold out) me and my friends are goin camping the day before it at the movie teahter.

[KissMe2408]

yay! totally siked for the III episode =D lol i will probably see it within the first week it comes out, it looks really good. can't wait, lol. Man, i'm such a dork, but that's ok. hehe

[*stephinika*]

haha i have these friends that are total geeks (but i love 'em ) and they organized a big thing for preordering tickets for the midnight showing tonight, and i didn't bother asking my parents cause i knew i wouldn't be allowed...considering its in the middle of the week and all. well, on the way home from school (i got picked up late) i passed by the theatre cause i knew a few of them would be there waiting already haha turns out, someone who was gonna go couldn't make it SO they have an extra and i asked my parents and actually convinced them to let me go! its gonna be so fun.

[jnukes]

OMG .. see tha movie at 12:00 .. no thanks .. ..

what's with all these 12am releases .. Halo 2 .. Harry Potter movie [[ i think ]] .. and Star Wars .. *sigh* .. people need to realize that no matter what time you're gonna get/do something .. you're gonna do it anyways ..

well .. i haven't even seen Episode II yet .. soo .. i'll peep that and go to III next ..

[imafreakinazn]

i don't really wanna see it.
:P
but i know i probably will end up seeing it, cuz my sister will drag me to it

[inlonelinessidie]

=] I got my tickets. CAN'T WAIT to see it tomorrow!

[Teesa]

SIKED !!!!!!!! psh my life shall be centered around star wars for the next month . i work at a theater so im gonna go see it on break

haha, I love how we have the same amount of excitement for some movies--i.e. sin city, star wars =]--
I am unbelievably excited!! I can't see the movie today or tomorrow due to being school nights, but I reserved tickets for friday night!!! I am so excited!!!

[*Kathleen*]

Okay, so fess up all of you that saw it already. How was it?

[kill me please]

omg my friends bought tickets a month ago for the first showing (may19th 12:00) and then they went yesterday right after school and stayed there until the movie.. theyre total star wars freaks. he even wore a star wars shirt to school under his uniform shirt. then today had to tell us all about it.
but uh i got tickets for tomorrow lol.

[EXPLO5ION]

I am gonna see it in 3 hours.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

about half of my classmates skipped school just to watch star wars

[sm0kinm0nky]

yeah i wanna see it badly, I seen all of them and have them on dvd, and the star wars trilogy special edition pack on dvd :D

[iliang86]

yah...i waited in line starting at 4PM. omg it was so worth the wait.

[william]

i'm leaving in about an hour to go see it. i haven't even seen the others, but i got my ticket for free so.. yeah.

[freeflow]

ok well ive never watched a star wars movie at all . it never really interested me but i guess i better watch one because everyone is SIKEDDD about seeing it and too me its no big deal i guess .
but im guessing i better check it out and see what all the commotion about this movie is about.
it better be good.

[sharerol]

......I don't like Star Wars. Wow. :P

[heyyfrankie]

i honestly do not know what the big deal is! i watched episode 1 && 2 in leadership and they were good but now like "oh gawd!!! STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!". -__-"
but i guess i would think differently if i had actually followed the whole plot line and seen them in the order they came out. but i do know alot of people that went to go see it. i laughed.

[*stephinika*]

oh man...it was SO GOOD! i loved it. i seriously love yoda. hehe and r2d2 and everyone else...it was great. i'm running on 5 hours of sleep, caffeine and i'm going to a dance tonight. woo!

[BELLA_RAGAZZA]

i'm soo excited to see it! i can't wait to find out how darth vador turned to the "dark side". yayy!

[inlonelinessidie]

IT WAS GREAT!

[dancingkait]

wow! i went at midnight (with stephinika and our friends too :P) and seriously...my jaw was dropped for half of it! so goood

[EXPLO5ION]

That was a great movie. I am gonna see it again.

[MR2_Ricky]

can't wait to see but next week when lines aren't so freaken long

[toodlepops.]

I'm not a big star wars fan but my friends want me to watch it with them so, w/e.

[pinyoboy]

I SAW THE PREMIERE!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG IT WAS SOOOO TIGHT!!!! XDD it was such an incredibly good movie, and i wouldn't be surprised if i see it again this week. like most other movies, the weakest part is the dialogue. ohh man but the fight scenes are good. Lucas never ceases to impress. ^_^

[william]

for those of you who want an unbiased opinion (i haven't seen any of the others), here you go. it was pretty good. the story was surprisingly decent, and even though i'd never seen any of the others it still made sense and the twists were good too. the thing that bugged me the most was that lots of it was SO. FREAKING. CHEESY. the dialouge worked, but a lot of it was REALLY stupid. also, i think they went way overboard with the special effects (most of them were good, but it's still obvious it's not real and it took away from the movie imo). not that much humor either, but hey, it's not a comedy. other than those bad aspects, everything else was enjoyable. i'd give it about a six or seven out of ten. what i found really weird was our theater was only half full. and it was a 7:15 showing on opening day. weird. also, my friend was the only person in our theater dressed up (besides me and my other friend who wore some bk star wars hats).

[angel-roh]

It's kinda cool when the fans of Star Wars wait outside for like more than 800 days just to be in the first line to watch that the new movie lol. It's really interesting. I don't think I remember hearing about that when Lord of Rings came out and also Harry Potter. But that would be cool if I was the first person to see the Harry Potter movie heehee. Anyways, I'm not a fan of Star Wars. But it's okay if I watch it because I like sci-fi movies :D

[teeners4]

i despise star wars

[karrar]

thats why you suck ....

[Teesa]

It was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Definitely goes in as one of my favorite movies ever. Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor were the best.
to George Lucas.

[gOODpIRATE]

i had a bunch of friends go at midnight opening night to see it.

they only got about 2 hours of sleep...and had class the next day.

[JlIaTMK]

Bleh, going either today or tomorrow. Shall see whom will take me.

[Ballpointpencil]

Gah, I want to see it, but we left for NY the day it came out and aren't getting back until Wednesday. My boyfriend promised to wait and see it with me when I get back though.

[EddieV]

I'm pissed I didn't get to see it the first day it came out, and I still haven't seen it, hopefully it works out tomorrow...

[Just_Dream]

My boyfriend got his May 19th tickets by reserving it 2 weeks in advance. Eugh.. Sorry but I don't really see what the big deal about Star Wars is. But then again, I haven't really watched the entire Star Wars movie that was made a long long time ago. I didn't watch them because it was pretty boring, imo. But it's all people ever talk about. lol. My journalism teacher even had a free ticket, so people in our class played a game thingy and this one guy won so he got the ticket.

I'm not that big a fan of Sci-fi movies. :P

[KELLYYY]

Ugh. I hate these kind of movies. They annoy me.

[do0kie]

i saw it today. it was awesome

[Domonic]

Is the movie anything like the first two? If it is, I probably wont like it. I thought the dialouge and acting was horrible in those...And the special effects weren't anything special. At times, yeah, they looked cool, but it's nothing that I haden't seen before. George Lucus says he had those stories planned and he's been saving them forever, but I wouldnt be surprised if he wrote them while bored on vacation or something. From looking at the old ones, then watching episode 1 and 2, I expected ALOT more.

I DO enjoy episode 4, 5, and 6 though...

MAYBE I'll like this new one...I hope so.

[william]

so i was a nerd and saw it again. two of my friends who i went with loved it, and the other two hated it. since i didn't have to concentrate on the plot this time around, i realized there's a lot of unintentionally funny moments (whenever darth sideous said "good" the whole theater cracked up). now i need to see the other ones.

[zbrittanyz]

I saw it opening day. It was pretty good. I'm not much of a Star Wars fan but I thought it was a brilliant movie.

[silver-rain]

I saw it today with my boyfriend, and I thought it was really good. I had seen all of the Star Wars movie, so I kinda knew what was going to happen, but it was still really good. My boyfriend, who I had to drag to see the movie with me, also thought it was really good. It was really well made. Hah, I now want to get all the movies and have a Star Wars marathon and watch it from the first to last one...

[darkphyre]

It was awful. I'm having a hard time deciding if it was better or worse than Episode 1. The acting blew, the space/lightsaber fights were nothing we hadn't seen before, and the plot completely abandons the idea of cause and effect and logical character development.

You know it's bad when it's quite possible that having Jar Jar Binks be a speaking role might have improved the movie.

While waiting for the movie, a friend of mine bought some fries for $10. We laughed at him because it was a total rip-off. After seeing Episode III, I think my $10.95 would have been better spent on said fries.

[rx_azngirl]

i watched it already. i was really good. but i feel bad for anakin

[Strider]

oh wow, stop making stupid assumptions. not everyone hates jar jar binks and of course he wasn't a tool for improvement. George Lucas can do better than that and I thought the movie was great. You make it sound like lightsaber battles mean everything in the movie. What about the rest of the action? Can you think of lightsaber duels that hasn't been thought of before? About the plots, you need to elaborate because as far as i'm concerned you may not understand the story at all.

yeah, maybe the acting sucked but..........DARTH VADER ROCKS!!!!!!

[Jus2s1mp13]

Uh not into star war never was. Watch the first one i fall alseep. Sniff...But i will see it when it come out in dvd or something. just to watch it.

[Domonic]

Well. I did enjoy this movie afterall. I was a big fan of the old ones and always will be...and I'd say episode three compares with those rather than the first two (which sucked imo). Bad acting yes, but....George lucas is a terrible screenwriter. The movie itself was entertaining. I thought it was powerful how Anakin became Vadar. The way they ended it wasn't bad at all....

Best scence in the movie: When the mask is lowered onto Vadars burnt face. It closes up on the mask coming down, the mask locks onto the suit, the music cuts out, and you hear him breathing. One of those scenes that gives you chills..

Definately made up for the first two movies.

[Animeloverhk93]

That was a great movie. I am gonna see it again.

CAUTION THIS IS A SPOILER
WOW amazing i told my dad i'm not gonna watch that movie in a while.. B/C IT WAS SO LONG!!!!! my but started to hurt But who cares i love the movie!! all of my friends don't like star wars they are like EWWWW just b/c they think star wars is to un pimp and stuff.. o well i'm the only girl in my class that actually LOVED star wars everyone else was still like "eww juliana u really watched star wars its so lame" it is so not lame.. it so COOL sheesh!! i was so excited to see anacan turn into darth vetor=dark vetor I DUNNO anywayz it was still really cool!!! and but it was soo sad when he lost all of his body parts.. =( and i started getting atached to anacan but nooo he turned to the dark side!! man... so sad how his wife dies. giving burth to luke and leah i get it now.. but so sad.. man... wahh but i thought it was sweet (romantic)

ok well that movie was so cool!

[Arsenic&OldLace]

Ahh. Episode II is my favorite Star Wars, but Episode III was just as good. It tied up A LOT of loose ends.

But I cried. [ sob ] I think everyone who has seen it should know why.

<3 Francesca

[fameONE]

Weak. It was really weak.

For starters, the use of CGI was dramatically overdone. It was as if Lucas was trying so hard to make it the best SW that he got carried away. The Washowski Bros were criticized just as badly in the Matrix but at least that use of CGI actually looked good.

The acting... sucked. Everytime there was an intense scene gripped with emotion, it was ruined by poor acting. Palpatine was a horrible actor. He more or less reminded me of a villain in a Disney movie rather than someone hellbent on world domination.

The robots making comical noises and reacting as if they felt pain and emotion was really cheesy and it took away from the movie in so many ways. R2 was probably the only tolerable robot in that movie.

Yoda's backwardss tyle of speaking is annoying as all hell, but thats nothing new.

To all of you Lucasians; he's not taking you to a far and distant galaxy on a spaceship. Convert and become a Washowkiite.

Matrix, sucaks

[Arsenic&OldLace]

Convert and become a Washowkiite.

Already done. =)

[breakfreeberebel]

i thought this movie was quite wonderful. it had a very powerful, romantic core, and if you think about it, anakin only allowed himself to be seduced to the dark side because of his love for Padme. Do you think if Padme's life weren't at risk he would have done the same thing as he did? I don;t think so. The battles were very intense and there was a lot more gore in this movie, with the whole cutting off of limbs, and the aging effect done on Palpetine. I myself couldn't help squirming around in my seat when people got their heads and arms and legs and butts burned off by light sabers. I was growing pretty fond of Anakin but then he just HAD to go and turn to the dark side and melt himself into a skeleton. well the end was very tragic and sad to me, because I always admired Padme because of her beauty and kindness. I really do hope they make remakes of the old movies to continue this episode. Well, sorry if my "review" bored ya, but I like giving my opinion.

P.S, I heard there was a rumor that Hayden Christensen (Anakin) and Natalie Portman (Padme) are going out in real life. Read it in Teen People a while back. If its true (which I doubt it is) then that would be sooooo sweet/romantic!

[karrar]

I like how alot of you have not the slightest idea aobut Star Wars, but you talk as if you do .

[veve]

that's quite the assumption to make, you hag.

[breakfreeberebel]

that's quite the assumption to make, you hag.

haha sry i just thot it was kinda funny

[ichigofan]

can i go with you??? pweaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ITs sold out until next week GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrr

[*mzkandi*]

I saw it a few days ago. Its a tight movie. After seeing this last one I want to see the orginal Star Wars series.

[blondisnirvana]

I liked it. I even forgive George Lucas for wasting my life with episode 2

[parallel]

That was a GOOD movie.

I really enjoyed it.

I didn't like the part when Hayden had both legs, and an arm cut off though. And especially when he caught on fire. Yucky. [x

[ohmyitslucy]

It was a good movie, but you can't compare ROTS to the original trilogy. The only thing bad about ROTS was the acting and as BrandonSaunders said the CGI was overdone.

[breakfreeberebel]

what is CGI?

[ohmyitslucy]

Computer Generated Image. Mostly everything from the scenes and some of the creatures for example: yoda in episode II and III, jar jar binks, and general grievous in episode III are CGI.

[magnificentmike]

I haven't seen it yet.

[BELLA_RAGAZZA]

omg. i LOVED the movie. i thought it was amazing. when Hayden turned to the dark side, i was literally like.. sad because i hated seeing such a hot and good jedi go to the dark side..

lol oh my gosh, i'm a dork.

[Arsenic&OldLace]

Yeah, the CGI was a bit overdone..

I still have to say I like the newer Star Wars. I felt more satisfied when the movie was over. I can't really explain it. Like, when The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were over, I was like, "That's it? That's ALL?" I mean, I was waiting forever to see the "Luke, I am your father," scene, and when I did, I wasn't all that impressed. I guess I was kinda mad that Luke got his arm {Or was it just his hand?} chopped off. What's with the Skywalkers and them losing their appendages? o_0

But you guys are right..the acting in the newest three sucked.

<3 Francesca

[dabigtao]

I loved the NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The movie was much better than the other 2 prequels. Every self-respecting Star Wars fan should definetly watch it.

[xxtaintedlips]

yikes i think it has bad dialoug...but oh well.
hehhee...

[shawty_redd]

i might go see it tonight
haha im such a big star wars fan!

[Mileep]

I love star wars episode iii. I can't believe the saga is over. I thought the ending was weird though.

[*mipadi*]

The acting... sucked. Everytime there was an intense scene gripped with emotion, it was ruined by poor acting. Palpatine was a horrible actor. He more or less reminded me of a villain in a Disney movie rather than someone hellbent on world domination.

It's not really the actors' faults, though. Hayden Christianson, Samuel L. Jackson, Natalie Portman...they're all actually really good actors. The others, too. I mean, it definitely had a good cast. But look at the script--even a good actor can't make that shoddy and cheesey dialogue work.

Even so, I thought it was a very good movie. Some of the parts were quite well done, and it was a bit corny, but hey, all the Star Wars movies are (including the original trilogy). It's part of their charm. I think it told the story of Anakin quite well, and was much better done than the first two. I think it was even up there with the original trilogy in many respects.

[waitwaitwait]

yoda so hawt

[ktsou11]

yea! i loved the movie! its so frigging awesome. :D haha. i love star wars!

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

I saw it a few days ago, i'm like in love with it =))

[*SimplePlan_Luvr*]

hayden christensen is so sexxii only seein movie crz of him

[ghetosmurph]

yeah i wen to the midnight showing too.... it was good

[hair products]

i beg to differ

there were a lot of things i would've implemented into the script.

first off, i understand they wanted him to talk more like james earl jones when he's in that black costume. in my opinion, it would've been better to really show all that shit that would build up into him being bad. i wanted to see him EXPLODE into the dark side. you know what i mean?

you see him talk to palpatine: oh you are a traitor. i am goin to get you arrested
10 minutes later: i will do whatever you say, master. (btw i hated the way he said master- referring back to the previous paragraph)

wtf

the struggle in attacking windu and switching to the darkside hardly seemed conceivable as a struggle. he just gave in. i didn't feel him turning bad at all. he's suppose to be torn between being good and saving his wife. i've seen kids more frustrated with not getting a toy they want. he should be upset, hesitant, and out of luck when saying "i will do whatever you say, master." all i really wanted him to do was show a range of dynamics in his voice. the only time i was wowed by anything was after ben stabbed him and anakin was lying there burning up and yelling at him. that was like good f**kin shit. loved the fight scenes, but it doesn't make up for the dialogue completely.
