'Sith' Already Found Online
ScentCone writes "Of course it was bound to happen, so now it's mostly a matter of discussing why Lucas does or does not deserve to make the proceeds, or whether people would or would not have gone to see it now that the usual path has been carved around the opening weekend box office." I've yet to find a blockbuster movie that isn't readily available on the net after it opens, but somehow this is still news. It's still usually worth shelling out the cash to see a version that isn't fuzzy with garbled sound, though.
Just the fact that Star Wars: ROTS was only found after somebody (presumably) recorded it inside a theatre means that they've done something right.
I never could see the big deal here. Those who want to see a movie will. Those who don't may download it or just ignore it altogetehr.
The last time I remember downloading a movie prior to watching it was Finding Nemo. My son wanted to see it, so I downloaded it, watched it to make sure it was appropriate.
I then took him to the theater to see it - twice, and eventually bought the DVD.
Did the movie studios lose any money by my actions? No.
Is watching on a 17" or 19" monitor even close to "the movie experience"? No.
Now if they'd only release Revelations in the theatre.

Hey, sit down I can't see the screen!
The person who wrote this story obviously doesn't know dick about leaks considering MOST happen weeks before the official release date.
This was leaked YESTERDAY. Whoop-dee-fucking-doo.
Nothing special here, folks.
Episode 2? Now that was worthy of a story considering a SCREENER was leaked about a month in advance before the movie was out.
In this case, a workprint released opening night. Wow.
If anything, it shows the MPAA is getting tighter on this shit.. which means we'll have to work on better ways to get it into our hands before release day.
We have secretly replaced these Slashdot mods' sense of humor with a rusty nail. Let's see if they notice!!
This is not news. It was GOING to happen. Period. That said, I saw it. It was a work of are visually. I personally did not mind the acting too much because one thing that we need to remember is they are doing a tremendous amount of the job with green screens. That has GOT to put an actor into a situation where it's just HARD to perform 100 percent. How can you, with a straight face, sword fight with a invisible green dude? ANYWAY....I actually did tear up a bit when Anakin made the final turn. I was a little disappointed that he turned just because of the dream he had of Padme dying during childbirth which ended up being true, but I guess it stands that he lost his mother and he did not want to lose Padme. And palpatine contnues is treacherous ways. He even lied to his apprentice by telling him he killed her in his fit of anger. I guess the Death Star takes roughly 20 years to build, so Palpy must build 2 at nearly the same time...maybe staggered by about 10 years. One thing is for certain..I am whipping out a new hope tonight to watch it.
