Star Wars Episode III: Behind the Scenes Webcam
securitas writes "Soon Star Wars behind-the-scenes webcam goes live when shooting for Episode III begins in Australia. 'The webcam will be moved every day, shooting live for 12 hours and then replaying in a loop while the cast is sleeping.' Of course it's only free until next week when you will have to join StarWars.com's newly relaunched site to view the cam as part of a package of services that includes online chats, outtakes and deleted scenes." I'm not sure if it's worth $20, but it's worth something....

I'm pretty sure I'd rather punch myself repeatedly in the nuts than subscribe to this - or see the movie for that matter.
First off, anyone who pays attention (and I do NOT expect that here on /.) knows that I am NOT a "fanboy" as I was around when EP IV was released (the first time).
/. about SW, all of the George Lucas haters just crawl out of the woodwork to expose the depths of their naked jelousy and dreadful envy in the most disgusting and pathetic manner: by hauling personal attacks on George Lucas.
Yeah, right.
But I must say, whenever there is a story on
Naked jealousy? Dreadful envy?
Nobody is jealous or envious of the lumps of crap that are the Star Wars prequels or the Lucas merchandising empire.
Its truly pathetic. You are truly pathetic. George Lucas, in my estimation, is a genious.
Few things are more pathetic than an obvious fanboy calling George Lucas a "genius." Not only is the term far overused, but it is misapplied. What's that about pathetic?
He has managed to pull bits and pieces of mythology and form it into a cohesive and compelling universe that has enchanted millions for nearly 30 years! Lets see any of you do that, you little twerps.
It is far from cohesive, and the interesting movies were the ones he didn't do entirely himself. Read up sometime on the people who were involved.
I loved EP I, can't get enough of EP II (I probably watch the DVD once or twice a month, including the bonus footage, I can't get enough of Ben Burt's documentary)
You are a fanboy.
and I am eagerly waiting for EP III, and I will, with a big huge smile on my face, happily pay for the new SW site. Why many of you cry? Because there is real value for me, because I can see the joy, creativity and genious behind this franchise, instead of just being consumed by jelousy and envy.
You're obviously trolling.
If you *hate* George Lucas so much, why do you spend so much time expressing that hatred?
Because Slashdot spends so much time praising it.
I was tempted to just let this topic go, follow my own advice and ignore the comments in this topic, but when I see some people calling GL names and conducting personal attacks... it sickened me. You people make me sick.
It sickens you that we criticize your genius? Very bizarre.
I understand *legitimate* criticism of work, especially in creative works, and I have some of my own regarding Star Wars, but what I have been reading here reads more like hate and not thoughtful criticism.
No, it's thoughtful criticism.
