Opens worldwide May 19th Okay, I admit it...in the past few days I've really started to look forward to this. Except I'm already tired of all the tie-in merchandise that's in stores!

*shakes fist at Lucas* This better be good not some sugar coated nightmare like the last two. And i don't wanna wait until 3/4 the way through the movie to get to some good action. Do it right! *grumbling* bad enough you changed the original 3 to suit your purpose. (Han shoots first! dangnabit!) Ahem sorry...I'll see it but I don't hold out much hope after the last 2. As for the marketing - I love the M&M tie in and the Legos game (looks very cute but fun)

If I were Luke I would be pretty ticked off. Your sister gets to go be a princess and you get stuck being a dirt farmer on a desert planet and don't even get your name changed.

I figured I would avoid the crowd on Thursday and runn over to the Ziegfeld today to pick up my tickets. They are sold out for the 19th, 20th and 21st so good thing I ordered mine. There are people who have tickets to the midnight show tomorrow night who are camped out in tents, dressed up as star wars characaters and giving out free popcorn. I had my photo taken with some character, it is absolute bedlam. I have tickets to the 11:00 am show on Thursday so I am guessing even with tickets we will have to get there early. I talked with one guy who has been camped out there for 15 days, these people are certifiable. The movie got very good reviews though so it should be fun.

Maris, I'd hate to have to sit next to that guy in the movie. Bet he's pretty ripe by now.

I just checked my movie sites (Fandango) and all shows for Star Wars has tickets available...none of them are sold out... Guess we don't have that many Star Wars fans here in the cleveland area...LOL

Gaffes abound for observant fans in Star Wars films TORONTO (CP) - While George Lucas and company have obviously struggled mightily to keep consistency in the many plot threads that wind through the six Star Wars films, inevitably picky fans will find certain timeline anomalies as Revenge of the Sith faces its ultimate docking with the original Episode IV. On the Internet, Star Wars geeks debate endlessly over the finer points of the Lucas storyline, often invoking the vagaries of The Force to explain the unexplainable. Here is an arbitrary Top 10 list of plot turn peculiarities that, if nothing else, can generate healthy debate amongst the uber-fans: Click the above link for the inconsistencies.

Darrel, these folks were prepared. They have sofas in their tents, laptops, oh and a huge bus with all the amenities inside it. You are talking people with plenty of disposable income to throw away on this. They were all in their late twenties and possibly early thirties. I was laughing. Kep I think the reason it is sold out in this theatre for three days is that it is just an awsome theatre in NY and is a landmark. If there is an epic movie, the place to see it is in the Ziegfeld.

It was awesome, we went this morning. In fact my son was intereviewed by the morning show on NBC, they were interviewing the kids that cut school to see the movie. It was the absolute best, as good as the First star wars and blows the last two movies out of the water. George Lucas really came back for this one. Can't wait to see it again.

Just got back 2 seconds ago from seeing it. It was very good, definitely worth seeing. Still think Hayden is a little wooden, but it was suuuuuch a better movie than the last 2. There was one plot turn that still doesn't sit right with me, but I won't discuss it until more have seen the movie so as not to be spoilerish. Our theater had a power outage for about 2 minutes during the final pivotal battle scene -- we missed about 45 seconds total which was a real shame -- but it was still a good movie. Admittedly it's not really my "type" of movie and I never really got into the Star Wars thing, but me saying it's good should tell you something.

I seen it this evening. Great movie; blew the last two out of the water. Was almost sad to see it come to an end and finally get some closure in my life...I've only been waiting for about 25 years. But, as with Yankee_in_ca...there are still some unanswered questions I have, but I'll refrain from discussing them until everybody has seen the movie.

I didn't realize there was a thread for this. I must start by saying, I am not a huge Star Wars fan. I didn't see any of the trilogy until about 15 years ago. I feel asleep on a couple of different occasions during Episode I and don't think I ever saw Episode II. Also, I do not go to movies...in the past 10 years I have been to the movies once. I work, literally, behind ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) and a down the road from Skywalker Ranch. Last week, my company sent out an email about a company meeting on Thursday. They said they were splitting us up into 2 groups, and it would be off site..they were very secretive about it. The first group was from 8:15-11:30AM (which I was in) and the second from 11-3:30PM. Thursday morning, we still didn't know where the meeting was being held, but they sent an email saying that parking was limited, and they were provding transportation. Thursday morning...a van pulled up and out jumped management with light sabres and the theme from Star Wars blasting in the stereo. While I enjoyed the movie, a couple of things bothered me. 1. what happened to Padame...how did she go from such a strong personality (she was queen for god sakes) in the first one to a silly crybaby girl?? 2. was the scene where Anikan goes to the Jedi Temple and does the unspeakable deed really necessary? 3. Has the dialog always been so cheesy? I know in original series, it was, but that was 1977. 4. I would have enjoyed the movie just as much if there wasn't any dialog.

Hey pcakes, what a fun way to get to see this movie! I haven't seen it yet, but I plan too because it will bring my Star Wars experience to full circle. I saw the first Star Wars movie about 6 times at a movie theater in Hollywood because that was the only movie theater that offered the "surround sound" effects. For me, it was an awesome movie-going experience hearing "swoosh sounds" run past my ears as Hans Solo and pals were being chased in space. After that first Star Wars movie came out, I really didn't take the time to go see many movies, as I was busy working and raising a family. If I saw the other Star War movies, it was when they came out as rentals, but I don't think I've seen them. Anyway, I do plan on seeing this one more as a sentimental closure to my initial Star Wars experience. I hope that all made sense...lol.

What happened to Padame? Got Pregnant - haywire hormones Was the scene necessary - of course. He was doing his new master's bidding Has the dialogue always been cheese - Yep, part of the fun. My son has already seen it three times (Thursday, Saturday and today). It will definitely be on my list of movies to buy if George ever decides to put it out on DVD.

LOL not only was it haywire hormones - there was the whole this must remain a secret thing so naturally she walked around inside their apartment in those huge dresses looking regal and brooding rather than going out and doing something.
