Anakin goes to the Dark Side and becomes Darth Vader. Palpatine becomes Emperor. All the Jedi except Yoda and Obi-Wan are wiped out. Luke and Leia are born. But these aren't exactly spoilers.

That's pretty much all six films. (Anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial.)

― Girolamo Savonarola, Thursday, 11 December 2003 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

The first line on the page: "This is an effort to put all existing news and current rumor together in such a way that we (the fans) can visualize what Star Wars Episode 3 will be like over a year before hand"

So, utter bollocks, more likely than not.

haha Aaron W OTM. How do these things leak out?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 11 December 2003 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

i didnt go to the site, just mentioning what i already knew. there was a very good fan-script (voted the best so far a few months back) via theforce.net that is quite probably based on leaks from the final draft. everything is tied up pretty well, the only drawback i can see is that there's not ENOUGH Vader but i suppose that's to be expected. I think Dooku explains more about Qui-Gon's crapness as a Jedi resulting in no vanishing act when killed. Chewy and Boba are supposed to be in it, not sure about Jar jar tho.

How do these things leak out?

Well, they already have filmed most of it. Generally speaking, most of these rumors are what are considered "hard" rumors, stuff that's been verified through several people or that they actually have scans of the concept artwork; both Ep I and II had fairly complete synopses by this point in time before release that were mostly accurate. I'm certain that there will be changes made by Lucas down the road, but I tend to think that most of this is the real McCoy. (As much as anyone can tell at this point w/o the CGI.)

oh, and I would've had it so that Darth asked something like "are the Jedi scum destroyed, my master?" rather than anything about Padme, I'd have had it so that he'd totally forgotten her.

And it would have also transpired that the Emperor had used the power of the Dark Side to kill Padme.

nine months pass...

Finally saw it last weekend and, while finding many of the obvious groaners (dialogue, Hayden, Ian McDiarmid unable to act like anything but a chickenhawk, battle scenes = videogames), not at all excruciating. And there is a core of respectable critics who advocate that Lucas is still a successful artist, like Seitz:

http://mattzollerseitz.blogspot.com/2006/01/fellowship-of-sith.html

"I now think anyone who reflexively dismisses that possibility that "Sith" is worth discussing AS A MOVIE is, in fact, a cinematic reactionary, a person who has unwittingly rejected the notion that a film's true worth resides in composition, camera movement and editing, rather than middlebrow notions of what's serious. (Critics are sheep; by and large, they like what they are told they should like.) As pop art, is "Sith" inherently less worthy of being taken seriously than ,"Howl's Moving Castle," "Steamboy" or "Corpse Bride?" Let's hope not. If melodramatic cliches, fairy tale tropes, broad physicality and elementary-school-comprehensible language render a film worthless, then those films, plus "War of the Worlds," "The Incredibles" and "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit," are all blank-outta-luck...

"Sith" is "Macbeth" for elementary schoolers, a primally simple narrative comprised of tropes so exact and conscious that they might as well be pictograms. But while it's simple, it's not simplistic. Lucas' mitochondrial approach to characterization still admits more complexity than most supposedly "adult" Hollywood movies. In "Sith," Anakin does evil things for what he thinks are good reasons; his fate, and the Chancellor's certainty of his own rightness, remind us that no villain thinks he's a villain. That's a lesson, people, one that's aimed not at hip adults who are sure they know everything, but at children. Repeat: children."

I work in after school care and these kids are DEFINITELY NOT BORED by this movie because they play Star Wars ALL THE DAMN TIME. But these kids are so little that they could not piece together that Anakin becomes Darth Vader so, no, YOU CANNOT PLAY ANAKIN VS. DARTH VADER LIGHTSABER DUEL BECAUSE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE, unless you wish to dramatize his internal struggle, in which case YOU KINDERGARTENERS MIGHT BE GENIUSES.

Also, playing as the emporer means waving your hands in the air and going "FSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

I'll bet he regrets not writing "Sith-outta-luck..."

― The Yellow Kid, Wednesday, 5 April 2006 17:41 (twenty years ago)

The best acting in the new trilogy occurs in the opera scene: McDiarmid, at his least unctuous, making Christensen hard with his story of Darth Plagieus Da Wise

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 17:42 (twenty years ago)

this movie is good! i might buy it, but then i'd feel obligated to buy the other two, and there's only half a good movie there (all in Ep. II)

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 17:43 (twenty years ago)

You can understand why everyone in that galaxy talks like that if that 'opera' is their art...

On the Sith DVD extra about Ani/Vader, a clip from the '77 film with Vader snarling "I WANT THE PRISONERS ALIIIIVE!" makes Lucas' "I never thought people would mistake him for Pure Evil" sound realllly clueless.

Trying to digitally replace Christensen in my head, I was pondering what mid-to-late 20s actor from Hollywood history could've made the hamfisted Turn to the Dark Side work best, and I came up with fledgling Kirk Douglas.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 18:03 (twenty years ago)

(dialogue, Hayden, Ian McDiarmid unable to act like anything but a chickenhawk, battle scenes = videogames)

So... the dialogue, the acting, and the action scenes... but everything else was good? So, 90% of the movie sucked, but the other 10% redeemed it? For me, that 10% is wholely comprised of stuff that HAD to be in the film in order to achieve continuity with the original trilogy. Every scene that didn't offer the cheap thrills of nostalgic familiarity was stale, poorly acted, over-animated, and so on.

I mean, the movie was the best of the new trilogy, sure, but there was just so much there to dislike. And comparing it to films like The Incredibles and Wallace & Gromit is embarrassing. Yes, those films have similar goals. But their ability to accomplish those goals it the main point of separation.

Yes, the movie made a lot of money. No, it wasn't a good movie. Cross reference: Every other bad movie that made a lot of money.

?? that's not a Seitz-type sentiment (esp since he's a TV critic for a daily, film for a weekly). There's no other explanation for the lemminglike near-unanimity around stuff from Unforgiven to City of God to AHOV to keep all the brows covered.

i think there are many people who will like something based on trying to squeeze it into their preconceived notions, but the vast majority of people don't. more likely, people will see something based on acclaim, but they won't necessarily like it.

as far as i'm concerned re: those three critic-magnet films cited, i'm ambivalent about unforgiven, city of god is about as good as better luck tomorrow, which means it's pretty mediocre, and a history of violence is even better than advertised.

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 23:54 (twenty years ago)

Star Wars, The Ring of the Niebelungen and Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp are based on the same source material.

his argument (that people don't like sith because they have old-fashioned ideas of what "good" is) is stupid

I don't think he's arguing that, if anything it's that they have, I dunno, 'post-sincerity' ideas of what "good" is? (Trying not to sound like Jedediah Purdy here.) Or just one idea of what it is. I saw a few minutes of the Archers' Thief of Bagdad last night -- a kids' adventure movie that wipes the floor with all the Star Wars movies except the first two, I'd say -- but Seitz thinks ppl are using high-art criteria for adults for Sith rather than a film like that.

ie, if Irvin Kershner and Leigh Brackett had been around, Episode III could've been real good.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 6 April 2006 14:11 (twenty years ago)

ie, if Irvin Kershner and Leigh Brackett had been around, Episode III could've been real good.

is there any criticism that suggests Lucas's direction on these movies is actually good? Kershner's work on Empire was fantastic, would have loved to see him direct one or all of the prequels.

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Thursday, 6 April 2006 14:29 (twenty years ago)

well, he's about 83 and hasn't directed in 15+ years.

Frankly, I thought the most 'mythic' moments of the prequels (climaxing in the birth of Vader) were pretty well staged; it's the plotting and characterizations that fell way short.

completely (and characterisation was Kershner's forte on Empire). also, the action scenes (certainly in the first movie) seemed very fitful, confusing and frustratingly edited.

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:18 (twenty years ago)

if ep 3 really had been an old-fashioned, super-entertaining romp with no "high-art" cred, i'd be the first in line to defend it! really, i would!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:25 (twenty years ago)

it's the plotting and characterizations that fell way short

the plotting was a tough one - presumably much of it goes over many kids heads, so much going on, more intricacies (conceptually at least). in the prequels there's no fixed enemy such as the Empire, just lots of different bad dudes running around here and there (it's not until ROTJ that you have Jabba and co. replace Empire as the major adversary for a large chunk of the film).

no Empire, no fixed 'bad guy' - should've made things more interesting! but it was problematic. in the first film kids don't get much chance to really hate on Maul, plus he looks so badass ala Fett that many probably loved him really. anyway he's gone by the end so what a premature waste. cut to the second film and again the enemies don't have enough screen time for that pantomime effect to really take hold. even in the third film, Anakin's switch to badness is so quick. this has emerged as one of my big gripes with the prequels. but otoh i like that the story avoids predictability and pandering to lowest common denominator in this respect.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:37 (twenty years ago)

s1ocki what do you say are the examples of 'high-art' cred in episode 3?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:40 (twenty years ago)

yeahhh, i was wonderin... also, Empire introduced the Freudian stuff / Wagnerian echoes, all to the good. The execution is everything.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:42 (twenty years ago)

no i'm not saying there WAS any high-art cred, i'm responding to Morbius's "but Seitz thinks ppl are using high-art criteria for adults for Sith rather than a film like that."

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:44 (twenty years ago)

(in other words i'm saying the movie's high-artiness or rather lack thereof had nothing to do with why i didn't like it)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:44 (twenty years ago)

remember that all-important Lucas quote along the lines of "I wanted people (kids?) to be able to know what was going on even with the sound off"

...which, in a somewhat twisted, way also explains much of the lame dialogue...

...still i wonder how well he really pulled that off.

i finally bought the DVD the other day as it's down to £7 on amazon.
