Principal Photography on Star Wars III Complete

Posted by michael on from the return-of-the-clone-jar-jar dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Principal photography for Star Wars III ended yesterday, and they're starting up on the 18 month post-production. Although denied by ILM, here is a quick taste of what the story for episode III might be like (either taken from Lucas' journal in 1983, or just a fake from an insider way back then)."

    Last time I checked, Geocities still sucked, and Slashdot still had a million visitors. So please stop submitting stories with Geocities links because they WILL NOT WORK. Ever.

    We already know how the movie franchise ends. Vader dies, balance is restored. See this link for more about it.

  4. principal photography is meaningless... by wrinkledshirt · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...when most of the acting is going to be done by the CGI characters anyway.

    Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm trolling. But Episode 1 was so disheartening that I didn't even bother seeing Episode 2, and Episode 3 has elicited zero excitement from me. So, whoopeedoo, we've got the stonefaced lines-reciting from Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman. Big deal.

    I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that Lucas has completely fumbled this franchise. I could really give a crap that the third movie is finished. He had a few flashes of brilliance when he was young, but lost it.

    Hopefully Tarantino won't suffer this fate.

  6. You know you'll go to the dark side... by stienman · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Look, rebel scum, I know you're all up in arms about how bad the last two were and how bad this ones going to be, and you're all talkin' 'bout how you'll wait until it comes out on TV, blah, blah, blah.

    But let's face it - nothing any better is going to be on at the theater, and you've seen all the other ones, so you're gonna go see this one as well. You know it, I know it, the dark side is calling and you're gonna suck it.

    Then you'll complain in the following 'review' story on slashdot about how you were right, it sucked, and you wasted money and time.

    Let's just cut to the chase. You're most likely a guy. You like action scenes. The movie could suck, the characters and plot could suck, but as long as it has one or two good fight scenes, you'll be all over it.

    Nothing to be ashamed of. Go to the theater (because you don't have the big screen and kick-butt sound system you are planning on building someday), pay up, enjoy the fighting, and go home and then complain about it.

    Yeah, that's Lucasfilm. Two years of preproduction, three months of principal photography, two years of postproduction.

    If only they had some good writers. As Harrison Ford once said, "George, you can write this stuff, but nobody can say it."
