Star Wars Episode 3 Play-By-Play In Pictures
jflint writes "Here is a site with over 80 screenshots (claiming more to come) that shows the story line of the upcoming Star Wars Episode 3. Some of the screenshots have French subtitles in them." These shots -- especially the space battle scenes -- certainly make it look more worthwhile than the two prior episodes.
It's already down!? Mirror!
Putting 80 screenshots of the upcoming Star Wars movie on your web site at this point is like asking to be DDoS'd.
You have to feel sorry for the ISP hosting that site and every ISP in between.
I'm a big tall mofo.
Slide 81: the server fall in burning lava. The imperial march begins to play. The END!
Correction, there was a site with over 80 screenshots (claiming more to come) that shows the story line of the upcoming Star Wars Episode 3. But after Lucasfilm's agents posted it to /. it is no more. Clever fellow, that George.

Can anyone else not believe that this will be opening Cannes? Do the French just have a very strange sense of humour, or do they perhaps intend to get revenge for recent US foreign policy decisions by allowing Lucas to make Hollywood look utterly ridiculous in the most public way they can?

I couldn't fail to disagree with you any less.
Hi George! How's the ranch?
Yeah, it's down, but that's not the worst of it -- even with nothing available to see, it's still looking more entertaining than Episodes 1 and 2.
Now, why do I hear Chris Berman's voice going:
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
Luke - What is it Obiwan?
Obi - I sense a cute little server at its last breath, while millions of caffeine filled geeks armed with mouseclicks, on its deathly downward spiral. And then silence prevailed.
Luke - What?
Obi - Server got slasdhotted you little wimp!
Luke - Oh Ok! Want some coffee?
Obi - Sure. These long flights give me such a headache.

While wasting time pondering whether the original site will ever succeed in coming back up, feel free to amuse yourself by refreshing the page's hit counter.

This is Slashdot, where anyone will disagree with you about anything! That being said, many people (myself included) think the story line of the first two were great big piles of steaming crap.

So that's what getting a Slashdot early access account is good for! News for Nerds. Stuff that matters. When it is actually happening.

I'm hopeful. If this one is as much better than Attack of the Clones as that one was better than The Phantom Menace, then it should be on par with Return of the Jedi. (AotC + (AotC-TPM) == RotJ) If George manages to pull that off, then I'll be content.

after all blowing shit up is so much more important than dialog...

Dude, have you heard the dialog in I and II? I'll take shit blowing up over that crap any day.

No way, you're completely wrong about that!

This is not the movie you are looking for. But you will watch it anyway.
No FSF/GNU/GPL manifestos, no "apple just updated their software again for the third time this week" messages, no permanent floating "the evil of the RIAA" flamefests. None of those "broken record issues" that we've been over a bazillion times. No incompetent "editors" who know neither correct spelling nor grammar, nor what stories have been posted in the last week.
You know, just the good stuff.

The power to kill servers anywhere in the world is insignificant compared to... um, no wait that's pretty damned significant actually. Sorry, nevermind.
Plus to the best of my knowledge Slashdot doesn't have an open exhaust port somewhere with a big neon "Place Torpedo Here" sign next to it so apparently we ARE the ultimate power in the universe.
Appended to the end of comments you post. 120 chars.
That'll be fixed when Lucas releases the next version of Episodes IV, V and VI :P

Ah, when all else fails, use the Force.
Now with fast-acting plot hole filling!
Come on, this is just a loose fictional story. No need to do forensic analysis on the details.
10,000 years ago I can see guys like you stomping away from the campfire when the oral tradition of that night contradicts last year's story. Of course that means you'd be the guys missing out on procreational activities later that night.
Yet somehow those genes keep recurring. Odd that is.
I remember when I first saw the trailer for Episode 1. I couldn't stop salivating over the beautiful scenery, cool-looking story, and Natalie Portman. The trailer looked so damned cool that I simultaneously crapped and creamed my pants every time I watched it. Then I saw the movie, and felt like a dumbass. Of course it would suck. Any movie with that much hype is usually a total waste of time. I'm not going to get suckered in. Not this time! Who am I kidding? Sign me up for 100 tickets, please.
I think you are giving Lucas WAY too much credit there.
You say you want a revolution....
there are droids..and some light sabers.
I'm going out on a limb here, but probably some spaceships as well.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
And it's always amusing to imagine what must be going through Ben Kenobi's head when he's sitting there with Luke, Artoo, and Threepio in Ep 4, listening to Artoo's hologram.
"Crap! We go through all of this trouble to hide Luke and Leia on opposite sides of the galaxy, and hide myself on this miserable ball of sand, and now?
LEIA sends, to ME, ANAKIN's favorite droids and they're delivered by LUKE, who wants me to go rescue her from VADER. The Force is my ally, my ass! With allies like that, who needs enemies?
Somehow, I think Ani's just itching for a rematch. Who would have guessed he'd survive the molten lava , for chrissakes? And I can already sense the incestual/lustful emotions building in this Skywalker kid. Man, this is a messed up family!! Why did I let Qui-Jonn bully me into training such a white-trash hick to become a Jedi?
And whose idea was it to hide Luke with Vader's step-brother? Man, Jar Jar and I must have been smoking some serious clone when we came up with that one! At least I won the rock-paper-scissors with Yoda, and I don't live in a frellin' Dark Side tainted swamp in the ass of the Galaxy.!
All right, one problem at a time. Let's go rescue the girl, hopefully before Dad tortures her and figures out that she's his long-lost daughter, and comes after me. Because I seem to remember Anakin having this whole revenge thing going on, a bit. Maybe he's mellowed... not.
THEN I'll deal with the incest.
Maybe if I get the kid hanging around one of those smuggler guys, he'll get Luke laid somewhere along the trip and Luke won't have all that teen hormone imbalance.
What, you didn't like "Sand is rough, but you're so smooth" or however it went?
It was a comedy, right?
