Episode III Deleted Scenes Leaked Online
Master_of_Tumbleweeds writes "Like the previous Prequels' arrivals on DVD, Revenge of the Sith will have several deleted scenes included when it's released next month. We now have a sneak peak (thanks to various online spies like the infamous Darth Psychotic) at a couple of these sequences, one that depicts General Grievous actually dispatching a Jedi Knight (something we didn't even see in the theatrical release) and Yoda's arrival at the swamp planet of Dagobah. Episode III comes out on DVD November 1st"
Boooo - dead link.
Aside from the die-hard fans, few will be getting a woody over the release of the deleted scenes of the latest Star Wars installment...the only thing perhaps remotely stimulating is the notion of accessing the scenes, illicitly.
The last 3 Star Wars films blew chunks because somebody wanted to sell more Happy Meals (TM) and Star Wars figures.

I can understand people being upset over Ep III not meeting our near-impossible expectations (I wanted more Vader action, dammit!), I don't understand how people can compare Ep III disfavorably to things like Firefly (fairly cool movie, but not exactly one of the better sci-fi's made recently) and Battlestar Galactica (which I can't even understand how that show keeps it's viewers - take away the special effects and it's not even interesting).
Ep III is not what I started hoping for back when I was a midget struggling my way through a Starlog that I could barely read yet, but I'm pretty sure Ep III will be a movie for the next generation, while a lot of the current crop of "popular this year" movies won't be.
If you haven't seen Firefly yet (it's currently in previews), I was initially ready to blast it but it's honestly a fairly decent sci-fi, even if you're not into Whedon's work (which I am not). While it's sort of pop-scifi-ish, and seems built primarily around quips and oneliners, it's blessed with one of the very best villians I have seen in years. He's not quite Khan or Zod level, but as far as sci-fi goes he can hold his own in any evil-pissing contest.
Do not confuse "Freedom of Choice" with "Free Will".
I don't get why Firefly is so popular. I watched the first two episodes a couple days ago. I'd say it featured dialogue about as shitty as any Star Wars movies. The space whore, and cheerful mechanic girl were both terribly written. I can't even count the number of times I cringed. Acting, mechanic girl in particular, was took me back to Star Trek TNG season one. Do you guys just have that big a blind spot for scifi? The theme song (written by Josh Wheddon) is also incredibly embarassing
Why on Earth would anyone invest $20 in this awful, awful, awful movie? These turkeys have been pathetic since "The Empire Strikes Back." The inclusion of Ewoks was the beginning of the end; talk about dumbing down something already dumb.
Sending $20 more to George Lucas is like giving a crackhead another rock. Just say no.
