Poll question: Are you planning on seeing Star Wars: Episode III?
Yep, I am. Star Wars was a huge part of my growing up, and I still love it.

1. Eventually. But don't tell George Lucas.

Not that he cares who sees it; he only cares that we all saw it in the theatre. :D

That's not to imply anything, probably a week or two after the hype dies down I will see it. In the theatre. Legally. I don't download movies. :wow:

5. If I am really lucky the the local drive in will run it with something
Edited on Sun May-15-05 07:43 PM by lenidog
excellent and I will only have to pay $7.00 for two movies and not be ripped off if I want a snack.


Actually that would work out great since its the last and I watched the first in a drive in.

7. I already know the spoilers, that's all I needed. No reason for me to.
Lucas is such a hack, IMO. I wish Peter Jackson (or anyone else, really) would do these films one day just to show Lucas how they SHOULD have been done. The story is great, but Lucas' execution...especially as he's aged.... :scared:

I know how Anakin got to Darth, I don't need to sit through it.

9. First 2 prequels were just acceptable to me
The original 3 were done very well because he had better screenwriters IMO. Plus, they weren't such a digital production.

10. Yeah...I saw them *way* after they came out...
I didn't see them until I was about 20, which is...about...20 (LOL) years after they came out. I thought they were...eh...but I did see the special VH1 did on them, and it helped me understand the hype. So in that sense I can appreciate them--but as someone who used to act, I find much of the dialogue incredibly stilted (and you're right, it's far better in the originals) and/or some of the acting to be horrid. When compared to the story itself, which is fascinating.

:shrug:
If I didn't know the spoilers, though, I'd be DYING to see it. Just for that!

8. In a Theater-Pub, for $2.00, as the first half of a double feature
so the second film can wash the bad taste out of my brain. Just like the last one. :P
