Ooooh. Lucas making up for convoluted plots and bad dialogue with cool fights? Does he think we're that easy to win over?

Well... okay.

And the fight scene from They Live relinquishes its crown.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either. :P

The only redeeming feature of Episode I was the pod race and the glorious lightsabre fight.

Could this be Episode I: Part Deux?

No matter how long it is, it can't be as long as the final fight from "Matrix Revolutions," which went on for roughly twelve hours.

12 minutes? Wasn't there a fight scene in Kill Bill that went longer?

Hopefully, he doesn't skimp on the plot acting and dialogue and try to sell the movie with that fight and some other SFX, which seems to have been a problem with the first two. If the amount of CGI in the first two is any indicator, they could have Padme played by Bea Arthur in this one, and thanks to digital enchancment, nobody would know the difference.

I'm expecting somewhere between 1 and 2, we have a lot of events to cover as AtoC did, and a lot to set up, but it will probably come down to what will please 'the fans'... or, what looks coolest without necessarily doing a lot for the plot... *cough*yoda-fight*cough*

weren't these filmed/written before the matrix trilogy was finished/released, for the most part...

Actually, it ought to be in the EP3 Spoiler thread.


Keep spoilers where they belong.
