"Star Wars 2 - Is it just me?"

Or does it look really really good? I saw the newest trailer today, and I can saw I'm looking forward to it. I never thought I would after Star Wars 1, which was good, but not excellent. I saw things on the trailer that made me happy:

Anakin with two lightsabers
Things that looked very similiar to Star Destroyers
Yodi hovering
Samuel L Jackson with a lightsaber
An arena full of Jedi folk

I'm now officially looking forward to it. Anyone else?

I expect to see at least:
2 evil schemes at the hands of the Sith
5000 deaths
Jar Jar with a very minor role
2 space melees
1 large star battle
Some clone troopers battling random underlings.

And prefrebly some kind of nuclear exlosion.

Otherwise I think it will suffer the same reputation as Episode 1.

Excellent. Haley Joel Osment is the worst actor I've seen in ages.

"But that's sure to spark deep and idealogical discussion in the audience about the nature of The State!"
"Yes. This is a deep and meaningful film by Spielberg, just like AI was."
"I agree, the idea that we can be arrested for something we haven't done yet must raise questions amongst the audience!"
"Hi, I'm Steven Spielberg and wish to be taken seriously as a director of grown-up movies. War is hell"
"...uh Steve, this is a sci-fi movie"
"...ah, ok. Well then people cannot be trusted. Except for mop-haired kids. Look, here's Haley Joel-Osment being on the verge of tears"

No doubt they'll be released as no extras discs first and then 2 months later after everyone has bought them, a 100 disc set with all 6 films will be announced.

I hate it when this happens! It's totally ridiculous. Releasing a no extras disc first and then releasing a 2 disc set later is bad enough. Get this though, The Rock was released as a no extras flipper disc years ago. Then a version with a whopping 3 minutes of extras footage and a documentary was released. Now a 2 disc set is being released in June. 3 times! That is out of order!

I think George Lucas is intending to wait until all the new Star Wars movies have been made before he releases the first three on DVD...

(When I say first three I mean Epsiodes IV, V, and VI)

He was mubling something about wanting to make sure he had the time to give the DVD's his full attention, but I dunno???

You never went to see AI! I know you didn't because you told me! :-D

There aren't any films that I won't see simply because of who directed it

I have a lot of directors which I like, I don't have any which I dislike

I'm not entirely biased against Spielburg. I recognise that he has made good films in the past. I went to see A.I with an open mind. I walked out because I was disgusted with it. I will go see Minority Report with an open mind as well. I believe Speilburg will make a good film again.

(It'll suck, it's Spielburg)
