Footage From Star Wars: Episode III

Posted by timothy on from the III-could-hardly-be-worse-than-I-or-II dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Leaked footage of Star Wars: Episode III is now online! Included in the 2-minute and 37-second clip are shots of the Australian set, George Lucas behind the camera, Chewbacca looking cooler than ever, and even a quick peek at Hayden Christensen (in Vader get-up!) and Ewan McGregor duking it out, all being played to AC/DC's 'Back in Black.' I've downloaded it, but am undecided as if I should watch it or not, lest it spoil something (here's hoping that it's good)."

    Please explain how seeing some SW clips could spoil SW? Seeing as SW1,2,4,5 and 6 are all inferior to Total Recall or a single episode of Andromeda in the genre of science fiction, and those are pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    Why don't you watch some films with some artistic merit to them? Or play outside and get some fresh air?

    Oh you naive child! This is George "here is this script i whipped up in the bathroom earlier" Lucas - but there'll be nifty graphics.

    "In other words, if Episode III is the Star Wars equivalent of Star Trek: Nemesis, then he loses the franchise."

    Oh I doubt Episode III will flop. There are no LOTR or Harry Potter movies scheduled to release then.

    Is that the only measure you have for artistic merit?

  5. It never ceases to amaze me by SquierStrat · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I never ceases to amaze me how bitchy some of the posters on this site are.

    I'm a huge star wars fan. Episode 1 wasn't great but it had its moments. Jar-jar is annoying but geez he didn't "kill the film" as so many people say he did. Episode 2 was in my opinion, a great improvement, still not of the caliber of the original 3, but still a good movie to watch.

    All I ever hear on here is how bad the movie was -bitch bitch bitch, moan moan moan. But I bet most of the people on here doing the bitching, have the DVDs.
