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....

    The webcam will stream behind-the-scenes footage -- but no audio -- from "Star Wars Episode III," which starts shooting this month in Australia and is slated for release in the summer of 2005. "Star Wars" buffs won't be treated to actual scenes being shot, but they probably will watch Darth Vader eating in the cafeteria, space-station sets getting hammered into place and makeup artists touching up the face of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The webcam will be moved every day, shooting live for 12 hours and then replaying in a loop while the cast is sleeping.

    Does this finally mean we'll get to see Natalie Portman naked and petrified as the rest of the cast threaten to pour hot grits all over her? ;)

    From one Bush to another, the US treasury is being looted.

    Unemployed? Maybe the tax cut on dividends will help you.

      Moron. Of course a tax cut on dividends will help- it will help the overall economy, creating more jobs for those who are unemployed. You liberal idiots always miss the big picture.

      I've given up the hope already.

      If Hillary won't run, the Democrats will never find a candidate who could take on GWB and the money he will be able to spend on his campaign. As far as I can see, we're looking for another four years of increased state control over the individual, religious intolerance, laissez faire capitalism, alienation of our allies by increasigly obnoxious foreign policy and trashing of the economy.

    Interesting comment coming from someone who has complained (journal) about how trolls are the scourge of Slashdot other blathering about the signal/noise ratio...

    Ah well, anything for a mod point, right?


    Ya know what? Yeah, trolls bug me sometimes, but sometimes their just downright funny. They're part of the community and you have to take the good with the bad.

    The S/N ratio isn't just about trolls. it's also about quality posting. The quality of posts has tended to go down. One problem is the Slashdot groupthink. Post a story about Apple and you'll get 100 posts from Mac fanboys about how totally cool OS X (it just works, yada yada), how they love their tibooks, etc., another 100 posts arguing with the fanboys that Macs are too expensive, better price/performance ratio elsewhere, etc., another 50 posts about rumours of an x86-based OS X port and how Apple's gonna move to AMD or Intel, another 10 posts saying that BSD is dying, another 1-2 posts about how wonderful BeOS is ?!??!?, about 30 trolls, and some miscellaneous Gentoo Fanboys touting that Gentoo runs on PPC (?!?!?!)

    I mean, quite frankly it's ridiculous.

    1) "newly relaunched". That is horrible grammer.


    2) "I'm not sure if it's worth $20, but it's worth something"


    Kind of funny considering that slashdot subscriptions offer few to no features, and a free ad-blocker blocks all the ads, not just some of them.
