So episode II wasn't intresting just because it was focusing on the rise of the empire? Come on! Seeing the rise of the empire was one of the greatest moments in entire Star Wars history! Its terrific seeing the events that are leading to the classic trilogy. Just what would you do to make it more intresting? Well, we have our opinions. Don't take it so seriously. I just didn't think the 2nd one was as good as the other ones. I much prefer the start of episode 2. I just thought that the whole mass of jedi was cool at first but then it just got boring. You can't force me to think what you think, like I said it's opinion.

I've heard some new Episode III info,
*SPOILERS*
we're actually going to see the formation of the Rebellion near the end of the film and also heard Padme will have a nervous breakdown. Then Obi-Wan arrives to see what the propblem is, Padme will tell Obi-Wan everything about what happened between her and Anakin in Episode II (going to Tatooine, them getting married). So now we'll finally see how Obi-Wan will get an infant Luke to Tatooine and decide who is guardians will be. And as for Leia, Padme thinks it will be wise to leave her with a Senator who she trusts, an uncorrupted senator: Bail Organa of Alderaan.
Also, there were some people on the Star Wars forums discussing what the music for the final duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan would be like, some people said it could be a remix of Duel of the Fates, one idiot said it should be Duel of the Fates, and another strongly advised that it should be a completly new music track that'll blow us away. As for me, I'm thinking of a mix of the Imperial March and Duel of the Fates. That'd be cool.

*spoilers* I just hope they don't give to much away. I agree with having the imperial march and duel of the fates at the end. That would be a good one. But if they are making a new track it would probably be brilliant since sll the other tracks are masterpieces.

I thought of doing my own overviews of the films. Episode IV: A New Hope: First released as just Star Wars in 1977, the film was about Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi (Alec Guiness) and Darth Vader ( acted by David Browse, voiced by James Earl Jones). Along with the droid duo R2-D2 (Kenny Baker) & C-3PO (Athony Daniels) and Chewbacca the Wookie (Peter Mayhew). The film mainly concentrates on Luke Skywalker, a young farm boy who resides on Tatooine with his Stepuncle and Stepaunt, Owen & Beru Lars. Luke wants nothing more then to leave his home, join the Rebellion against the Empire, and when he learns that his father was a Jedi Knight, wants to be a Jedi like his father before him. His wish is granted, but not in a way he didn't want. Both his Stepuncle and Stepaunt were killed by Imperial SandTroopers and his home was burned to cinders. Leaving with Ben Kenobi, who was like a surrogate grandfather, and two droids he'd recently purchased, he headed his way to Mos Eisley spacport, to hire a ship to get them to Alderaan. It is there, at Mos Eisley, that he meets Han Solo and Chewbacca, and little does he realize yet, that they will become two of his best friends. They leave Tatooine, in a little scurmish with SandTroopers, and head to Alderaan in Solo's ship: The Millennium Falcon. When they reach there however, they discover its gone. Destroyed, by the Empire's new space station, The Death Star. On board the Death Star, Luke and Han attempt to rescue Leia while Ben Kenobi deactivates the tractor beam, that is holding the Falcon in place. Before Luke and the others escape however, Obi-Wan and Darth Vader, the Jedi who has succumbed to evil and is belived to have killed Anakin Skywalker, Luke's father, have a fateful duel on board. Obi-Wan sacrafices himself, so that Luke would escape and not be caught by Vader. When approching Yavin 4, Luke finally joins the Rebellion. Both Red Squadron and Gold Squadron go up against the Death Star, to fire proton torpedoes in the small thermal exhaust port located in a trecnh on the battle station. Both Squadrons are decimated by Darth Vader, who is piloting is TIE Advance. Luke is alomst killed by Vader, and would have been if Han hadn't reappeared to throw Vader Off-Course. Using the force rather then a targetting computer, Luke fires and gets a direct hit in the exhaust port. Thus, destroying the Death Star and becoming The Alliance's new hero. An excellent film which gives birth to a huge and successful franchise. A lot of tension is built up, and mainly kids enjoyed the Lightsaber battle between Vader and Obi-Wan. While plenty of older viewers enjoyed other parts, such as the Death Star attack run. There were also certain humorous parts, mainly with Threepo and Artoo. Funniest Scene: *Han charging at the StormTroopers down the corrider* Han: RAAAAAAAAAAAAA- *Turns round the corner only to see thousands of imperials!* Han: -AAAAAAAAAAHHH! Most Exciting Battle: The Space Battle of Yavin. That really brought tension up. Best Quote: "I find your lack of faith disturbing." - Darth Vader

Something's bothering me - what's the name of the race from Ep. II that create the clone army? They're really cool. They're typically called Kamonions of Kamino. I think they're creepy. Espically Taun We. Episode V: The Empire Strikes BackThe highly anticipated sequel of the original Star Wars was released in 1980. The film reintroduces old favourites such as Luke and Vader, and introduces new characters such as Lando Calrissein, and the mysterious Bounty Hunter: Boba Fett. The film takes place 3 Years after the events of the first film. We start off seeing the Rebel Alliance on their new base on the planet Hoth. While investigating a suspected meteor crash, Luke is attacked by a Wampa. Inside Echo Base, Han prepares to leave the Alliance as he still has to pay off his Bounty on his head marked by Jabba the Hutt, and also because he barely survived an encounter with Boba Fett on Ord Mantell. Leia trys to persuade Han to stay, because she claims that they need his skills, but he thinks different. Han then realizes Luke has not come back yet, so leaves to find him. Luke, who was in the Wampa cave, had manged to escape but the snowstorm is slowing him down and weakinging him, and then the spirit of Obi-Wan appears before him. Saying in order to complete his training, he must seek out Jedi Master Yoda, who is currently hiding in the Dagobah system. Luke passes out just when Han finds him. The next morning, Han and Luke are found and rescued by Rogue Squadron. Han is mostly fine but Luke needed to be healed fully in a Bacta Tank. In the command centre, the Rebels intercept a code from a Probe droid. C-3PO says it could be an Imperial code. Han checks and confirms it. The Rebels begin preparing for their evacuation. Darth Vader, upon seeing the sheild genarator sent by the droid, immediately orders his fleet, Death Squadron, to invade Hoth. He sends General Veers to overlook and lead the troops, and promotes Captain Piett to admerial after Admerial Ozzel unwittingly alerted the Rebels, getting him killed by Vader. The Empire wins the Battle of Hoth, but does not succead in crushing the Rebels. Luke goes to Dagobah with R2-D2. While Han, Leia, Chewbacca and C-3PO try to evade Death Squadron in an asteroid field. Luke finds Yoda and begins to complete his training. Meanwhile, Han discovers that his old friend, Lando is now the Cheif Administrator of Cloud City on Bespin. The Falcon finally slips away from Death Squadron, but little do they know that they are being tracked by Boba Fett. Luke forsees Han and Leia in pain in Cloud City, and abondons his training to help them. Both Yoda and Obi-Wan try to persaude him to complete his training. But Luke goes anyway. In Cloud City, Lando unwillingly turns in Solo to Boba Fett. It was wither that, or Cloud City being put under Imperial control, when people already thought that the Empire were not intrested in Cloud City and come there to be free of their oppression. Vader wishes to carbon-freeze Luke, so he can deliver Luke to The Emperor without risking Luke escaping. However, he does not know that the carbon-freezing would kill him or not. So he decides to test it on Solo. It is here we can see that Vader is not reckless and is not a risk-taker. Han is encased in carbonite, Luke arrives in Cloud City and Lando deides to team-up with Leia and Chewie to save Han before its too late. However, they don't make it in time and Boba gets away with Solo. Luke enters the carbon-freezing chamber, and confronts Darth Vader. The two of them duel from the chamber to the chasm. It is there, where Vader defeats Luke by cutting off his hand and then [censored]ters Luke's spirit by revealing that he is his father. Rather then joining his father, Luke hurls himself down the chasm and ends up on the bottom of Cloud City. Through the force, Luke contacts Leia to rescue him. The falcon finally reaches the Rebels rendavous point, Luke gets a new mechanical arm replacement, and Lando and Chewie are seen heading off too Tatooine to rescue Han from Jabba the Hutt's clutches. A sequel thats even better then the first film, The Empire Strikes Back shows sequles can be better then its predocesser. Full of new characters, new planets and new surprises, The Empire Strikes Back should have certainly been the best film of 1980 (Not that I know, I didn't exist then ). Funniest Scene: *When Chewbacca trys to get in the falcon with Threepo on his back* C-3PO: OW! OW! BEND DOWN YOU STUPID FURBALL! *Later, Artoo is carrying Threepo's parts accross the floor* C-3PO: Oh, I thought the great hairy beast would be the end of me. R2-D2: Bweep boop. C-3PO: Of course I've looked better! Most Exciting Battle: Luke vs. Vader. People would have been speculating on the Luke vs. Vader match inbetween the years of A New Hope and Empire. Now they see it for themselves, and shock to the little fans, Luke loses. The hero doesn't always win ya know! Best Quote: " I am your father." - Darth Vader

Its little bit different. And you were right to say "Director" rather then "George Lucas" cause Mr. Lucas DID NOT direct Episode V and VI. I came across this flash movie on Newgrounds, now you can see how The Empire recruits its troops!: www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=30319"New position opened daily." *You see Vader gripping one of the StormTroopers* Hilarious! ;D

They're typically called Kamonions of Kamino. Ta. I wanna see the original filmings, before they overdubbed James Earl Jones' voice on Vader. For anyone who didn't know, the guy in the Vader suit had a strong West Country accent. Imagine Vader speaking like that! "Oi am yer father!" ;D

I don't think you could seeing the films before JEJ's voice-over. But you can see just one small scene in the bonus disc for the classic trilogy.

Now Zerolus you seem to know a lot about Star Wars so you're going to have to answer a question.
What the heck? is the deal with Jawas? Do they look like anything under those cloaks and what make there eyes glow like that? To tell the truth, the Jawas are very mysterious creatures. Underneath those cloaks are just layers of wrapping, to protect them even more from the scorching twin suns. I'm not sure about the glowing eyes, I mainly think that its just genetical to them. This may shock you even more though. No-one, in Real-Life, doesn't really know much about them at all. Apart from the fact that they have a fasination (spl?) for droids. They're are even unconfirmed rumours that they're not native to Tatooine, though I'm not sure how that's possible, unless the Rakatan were involved. I don't care if you've seen this or not but I'm posting the ACTUAL teaser poster for Episode III right now!

Ta Samface, I think the poster is pretty cool as well. Now some of you wouldn't care, but the Knights of the Old Republic II website is up. Its cool, now and then the site asks you questions to do with the Light/Dark sides. I've done Light Side answers and the site went all a nice sky blue, and I got this real nice poster as well: Tomorrow I'm going back on the site and give Dark Side answers! :Evil Grin: Here's the link: www.lucasarts.com/games/swkotor_sithlords/Episode VI: Return of the JediThe final film in the trilogy (and 20 years later, the entire saga) is certainly the best film out of the lot. Reintroducing Jabba the Hutt, Lando Calrissein and other favourites. As well as the REAL villain of Star Wars; Emperor Palpatine. Taking place only a year after ESB, we see on Tatooine, C-3PO and R2-D2 head towards Jabba the Hutts palace, to negotiate the Hutt for Han Solo, who's still encased in carbonight. Jabba refuses to bargain, and takes Threepo and Artoo for himself. A bounty hunter named Boushh arrives with Chewbacca, Jabba order the Wook to be taken to the cells. Later that same night, Boushh frees Han Solo from the carbonight and reveals herself to be Leia Organa, before they could escaper, Jabba traps them both. He throws Han into the cells, and embrasses Leia by making her his slave girl. The next morining, Luke arrives, far from the naive farmboy he once was, Luke has matured incredibly over the last 4 years into a more confident Jedi Knight. Luke easily gets past the Gamorrean guards with Force Grip, and uses Jedi Mind Tricks on Bib Fortuna, but the Mind Tricks are useless on Jabba, and he ends battiling and killing Jabba's pet Rancor. Jabba, furious that his Rancor was killed, orders Luke, Han and Chewbacca's lives to be terminated at The Great Sarlaac pit of Carkoon. Above the pit, Luke demands Jabba to surrender, the Hutt foolishly refuses. The minute Luke graps his Lightsaber, chaos breaks out. Tamtel Skreej, one of Jabba's bodyguards, reveals himself to be Lando Calrissian and Boba Fett steps in, only to have his blaster cut in two and ends up as fodder for the Sarlaac. Or so as belived. Leia cuts off the Sail Barge's lighting and strangles Jabba until he suffocates, Luke then fires a turret into the sail barge, destroying it. While Han and the others head back to the Rebel fleet, Luke heads back to Degobah, to complete his training with Yoda. Yoda says that Luke requires no more training, but can only become a Jedi when he confronts and defeats Darth Vader and his master. Yoda also warns him not underestimate the Emperor, or he will turn to the Dark Side like his father, and with his very last words, Yoda says that there is another Skywalker. The ghost of Obi-Wan soon appears and says that the other Skywalker is Leia, and is Luke's twin-sister. The Rebel fleet discovers of the Death Star II, and move to destroy it. They also consider it doubly important as The Emperor himself is on board, and the Empire will collapse if the Emperor died. Both Han and Lando are promoted to Generals, Han's team will land on the forest moon of Endor to destroy the Death Star II's disruptor field. Then the Rebel fleet will move in to destroy the station itself. Things did not go as planned however. Luke had to force himself to tell Leia stunning news, that he was his sister and Darth Vader is their father. Luke explains that he has to confront their father, and he promises that he will try to turn Vader back to the Light Side. Luke encounters Vader, and trys to persaude him to join him against the Emperor, but Vader simply refuses and takes Luke to the Emperor. Withen the DSII's throne room, Luke comes face-to-face with Emperor Palpatine, a master of the Dark Side, who's skin and eyes has been deformed by the sheer evilness of the Dark Side. The Emperor reveals that he has actually tricked the Alliance into coming to Endor, in order to put an end to the Rebellion once and for all (though not seen in the film, Vader was very strongly against this, as it was a huge risk). Han and Leia were almost trapped and killed, but thanks to some naitive Ewoks, they managed to blow up the shield generator. Back in space, The Rebel fleet, already trapped by Death Squadron, noticed the disruptor field was down, and proceeded to destroy the second Death Star. Back in the throne room, Luke and Vader duel. Luke refuses to fight, but when Vader threatens to to turn Leia to the Dark Side, Luke releases all of his anger on Vader and severes his mechanical hand, much to the Emperor's delight. Luke refuses to strike down his father, however, and when he threw his Lightsaber away, the spirit known as Anakin Skywalker resurfaced in Vader. Palpatine, furious that his attempt to turn Luke has failed, tortures Luke with Force Lightning. Unable to see his son die so terribly, Anakin reddems himself and finally fufills his destiny, by hurling Palpatine down a shaft, where he disintigrated. Thus, destroying the Sith Order for good and bringing the Force back into balance. As Imperial troops try to evac the station, Luke carrys Anakin to an Imperial shuttle. Anakin speaks breifly to Luke, and thanks him for saving him from the Dark Side, then Anakin became one with the force. Wedge and Lando destroys the Death Star II, with thw two Rebels and the young Jedi Knight barely escaping before the station was utterly destroyed. Celebrations took place throughout the entire galaxy, the spirits of Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin appear before Luke and although not seen in the film, the New Republic is formed. The final film is wonderful, with a huge climatic scene, as well as Vader redeeming himself and finally fulfilling his destiny. And though this is the end of Anakin (truly, the films are about Anakin), its actually just the beginning for Luke, Leia and Han. As the events after the films are about the three, with the struggle against the Imperial Remnant to the Yuuzahn Vong invasion. Funniest Scene: No truly funny scenes, but I laughed a bit when I saw Stormtroopers being pummeled by Ewoks. Gawd, surely they can see something out of their helmets! Most Exciting Battle: The space battle above Endor. Music was good, and Starfighters just zipping around everywhere! Best Quote: "Use your aggressive feelings boy! Let the hate flow through you." - Emperor Palpatine Went back on the KotOR II website, gave Dark Side answers, the site went a blood red. And I got this poster of one of the Sith Lords:

That Episode 6 review... BEST OF THE LOT? You're banned from Star Wars. Its just my own opinion. And there are people who agree with me. Why? Do you like ESB better? Or ANH? EPISODE III TRAILER IS AVALIBLE TO SEE ON THE INTERNET... for Hyperspace members. ¬_¬ And the release date is confirmed; 19th May 2005. And I'd be able to see it, as Year 11 ends before then. ^_^ For those who have not looked at Page 8, here's the Episode III teaser poster yet again. There were some claims that Palaptine, Boba Fett and General Greivious can be seen in the cape. But I only see the most obvious one which is Vader. And there were some Darth Maul fans saying Maul will be back in RotS with mechanical legs. For the Force's sake people, he's DEAD. ACCEPT IT.
