Revenge of the Sith TV Spots Revealed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-as-good-as-the-first-one dept.

Bobert@flixnjoystix.com writes "StarWars.com has unveiled three TV spots for STAR WARS: EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH!" The three spots are shorter than the longer trailer that has been seen earlier, and a little bit more pop action than the dark trailer that gave me hope. Anyway, here is Spot 1, Spot 2, and Spot 3.

    I've never really understood the mentality of hatred against the new star wars films.

    Star Wars has ALWAYS been about cutting-edge special effects, and NEVER about good acting.

    Mod parent down -1 big fat lie. ILM's render farm consists entirely of Renderman, CompTime and Sabre (all closed source) running on a room full of SGI Origin servers. The only Lunix they use is on workstations running CompTime, and those are being pulled out in favor of Power Mac G5s. The Lunix boxen are just too fucking hard to support.

    Amazing what thirty seconds on google will do:

    ILM says they have rarely seen artists get excited by hardware, but artists fought to get the new Linux workstations--Dell single-CPU P4s with NVIDIA Quadra 2 Pro graphics cards. The question became, "Where's my Linux box?"

    Best Star Wars trailer ever

    "Starwars has been moving more and more to a TV soap opera type thing for a while now using tired old tools many of which have been borrowed from other films of the past. Yoda hanging on to a ledge? This seems to be a common theme in Star Wars films and perhaps action films of all kinds. Remember the quote from another geek fav? Run you fools!. Slapstick comments from C3PO and the scream of R2D2 are just stereotyped now. "

    Yes, and deliberately so. That's what Lucas was trying to do was to return to the form of the old film serials of the past, and to use the usual Campbell Myth plots to tell that story. Of course this stuff is familiar -- it's meant to be!

    SF can be innovate in writing, but only when doing something innovate in design. When you deliberately set out to resurrect the cheesey serials, you get high cheese factor as a matter of course. As for getting away from the High Quest themes, good luck buddy. Ain't nothing new there since Homer. Good writing or bad writing, all stories are going to revolve around a handful of plot archetypes.
