"If I remember right even Jesus said something similiar."
I always thought he was a little anti-bush </sarcasim>
Luke Starkiller? lol!
I think there are T-Shirt sales in that one.
I'm still gonna see this movie. It's the only Star Wars we're ever going to get. This is the finale, folks. It's worth at least one viewing.
ROFL!!!!
Lucas claims that he planned to make Vader Luke's father before he wrote ANH, but he considered changing his mind after the movie became a blockbuster because he thought it might be controversial.
Got news for you. There hasn't been a Star Wars movie worth seeing since Empire Strikes Back! The whole series since Lucas got back into it has been nothing but a CGI glorified mess, where cool computer generated images is supposed to make up for lack of plot and character.
wow... Obi-Wan stands self-exposed as a closet Sith Lord. The irony...
ah, the Force is strong in you: you beat me to it.
Here's some highlights from the script... Shark Lied, People Died! We're going to need a bigger vote... errrr, boat! BTW, the shark doesn't die in this movie, the residents of Amity all die because...
it's a movie.
yep.
I *do* hope JarJar suffers the fate of a frog in a blender. then the circle shall be complete.
portmans character & the jedi were seemingly ok with slavery and etc...
perhaps the parallels are being drawn with 'the republic' & 'islam' and how supposedly 'free' the muslims were before the fundamentalists became so influential?
HAHA..LOL...
Will send script to Spielberg!
That was the character's name in the early drafts of the first movie's script:
"THE STAR WARS"
From The Adventures of Luke Starkiller
By: George Lucas
Third Draft
August 1, 1975
Lucasfilm Limited
"... and in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as The Son of The Suns."
Journal of the Whills, 3:127
"THE STAR WARS"
FADE IN:
1. EXT. SPACE
A vast sea of star serves as the backdrop for the MAIN TITLE, which is followed by a ROLL UP:
The REPUBLIC GALACTICA is dead. Ruthless trader barons, driven by greed and the lust for power, have replaced enlightenment with oppression, and "rule by the people" with the FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE. For over a thousand years, generations of JEDI KNIGHTS were the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy. Now these legendary warriors are all but extinct. One by one they have been hunted down and destroyed by the sinister agents of the Emperor: the DARK LORDS OF THE SITH. It is a period of civil wars. Rebel Armies, striking from fortresses hidden deep within the Great Rift, have won a crushing victory over the powerful Imperial Starfleet. The Emperor knows that one more such defeat will bring a thousand more solar systems into the rebellion, and Imperial control of the Outland systems could be lost forever. To crush the rebellion once and for all, the Emperor has sent one of his most ferocious Dark Lords to find the secret rebel strongholds and destroy them...
**************
"Galactica", hmm? So *that's* why Lucas sued Glen Larson.
Ok 20 years ago. Sue me.
Please don't tell me Lucas made Episode 3 into a political statement? I want to see the movie for entertainment value, not to be propogandized.
Whatever happened to going to a movie just to enjoy the movie, especially a swashbuckling fantasy like Star Wars?
Why do some people feel the need to politicize every facet of everything?
