Is that the same Ani from Episode II??? He is a solid actor.

I heard that Anakin isn't actually Vadar in III but Jar Jar Binks is. Brilliant twist and a great way to bring back the best Star Wars character ever. Plus the StormTroopers are actually Ewoks.

I almost posted it, but there were disputes over its authenticity at first.

Yeah... I waited a week until they said it wasn't bogus.

How are the Cubbies doing?

There's a reliable description of the trailer out now. Sounds good.

SPOILER WARNING!

The first half of trailer consists of a familiar voice over with Alec Guinness. Fans will love to hear him speak his monologue to Luke from A New Hope about "Jedi Knights always being the guardians of peace." As we hear these familiar phrases, they've intercut shots from various Star Wars episodes, excluding Episode 3. Only when the monologue ends with "Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force" about 40 seconds into the trailer do we see the face of Anakin. He is partly covered with dark hood, looking positively evil.
This is followed by the shot of erupting volcanoes, then some sort of volcanic field with crab-like creatures and then darkness, all accompanied by Vader breathing. Then the following is heard:

Sidious: "Lord Vader..."

Vader: "Yes?"

Sidious: "Rise."

Then we see Anakin in full Vader gear rising on some sort of operating table to which he is chained. The rising is slow and is intercut with shot of various Star Wars main characters. When the table has fully risen so that Vader is basically standing upright, the meatiest part of trailer begins, with many, many shots from Episode III. Most of them are very, very short - this will be something for freeze-frame fanatics to analyze.

The ones that stuck in my memory:

Dozens of Wookiees on some sort of floating platform.

Padme with signature Leia hairdo.

The Tri-Fighter, aka the precursor to the TIE fighter with three curving wings and guns mounted between each wing. They shoot red lasers.

The ARC Clonefigthter, aka the precursor to X-Wing, with three wings on each side.

A gigantic starship being sprayed by streams of something that looks like dense acid.

The trailer ends with the title "THE SAGA IS COMPLETE - MAY 2005" and is about 100 seconds long.

All of the music is edited from previous Episodes, featuring Darth Vader's Theme prominently.

Damn that is a terrible hair cut. No wonder why he put a helmet on!

I wonder if the young Vader has hair sicking out of the back of his helmet like Ricky Williams did when he play for Miami.

It's so sad when you think about how a good writer might have turned Ep 1 and 2 into something better and maybe even awesome...

I am excited for this movie anyways, but they have been a major disappointment so far.

This one sounds like it will be the most satisfying of the "new" SW movies. That poster is awesome.

 

[Stout]

Well, what's his name, Hayden Christianson? He stunk up the joint in the last movie, and I can't say I'm thrilled to see him back.

There's a movie with him in it that just came out a bit ago on DVD called Shattered Glass...he's really good in that and has been critically acclaimed for his acting in it.

Might want to check it out. His lack of quality acting in Ep 2 could have been due to the crappy writing.

He was fairly good in "Life as a House," too.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. While young Vader was better in Glass, than he was in Ep 2, I can't say he was really good in Glass. At some point early one, I got the feeling that with a couple days acting classes, I could have made the same three basic faces the guy has while acting.

However, I agree that the movie is worth watching and that the Ep 2 writing was el crappo.

 

[SECTION 11]

Ugh, I seriously thought that guy was one of the worst actors I'd ever seen when I saw that movie.


Anyway, here's this...

I read the caption of that photo and I still have no idea what's happening in that picture. What an odd publicity still.

 

[Djaughe]

I like the poster.

I think they should hae done something like that for SW2 (to keep continuity). In the first movie they had a kid anakin with the darth vader shadow which I thought was the best.

It kinda reminds me of kevins leaky deathstar....

that poster still hasn't been confirmed but there's apparently now a new Teaser poster over at the Force.net:

And even if it was the crappy writing that made Hayden come off as horrendous - newsflash - it's the same writing we're gonna find here in the finale! I loved the original trilogy - thought it was some of the greatest moviemaking and wham-bam extraordinares of all time - but the prequels have been TERRIBLE IMO and I expect nothing less than terrible in this last one - sadly.

 

[Djaughe]

I sure hope we don't have another scene with c-3po dismantled...it was cute in empire...but really fell on its face in clone's...

I'm just really curious about the time gap between all of these episodes. IN the last episode - Annakin was supposed to be in his late teens and Obi-wan was probably just entering his thirties - right? After all Ewan Macgregor was 29 when they shot the last Episode. So let's say the next episode take place over the course of what - the next five or so years - that puts Annakin at his mid-twenties when he "dies" and becomes Vader and Obi-wan at mid-thirties - right? So that means the twins would already have to have been born - which means by the time we see them in Episode 4 - they are probably - what would you guys say - 19-22? So there's about a 20 year gap in time between Episode 3 when Vader is born and Episode 4 when we meet Luke - correct? So my question is this - IS OBI-WAN THE OLDEST LOOKING 55 YEAR OLD IN THE HISTORY OF TIME OR WHAT?

Many disturbances in the Force weigh on him. Plus he seems to be the only Jedi left to resist the Empire. No time to sleep or vacation. Knowing the future lies with whiney Luke could give anyone a complete head of grey hair. Check out what Yoda looked like at 65 years when he "retired".

Maybe the ewan character is actually a clone of obi wan.....
