A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
For almost 30 years this words enchanted thousands and thousands of souls. It is a wonderful story about honor, friendship, the eternal good-evil fight, our relations with robots and automatons and powerful empires and their downfall.
The first SW was actually the fourth, Lucas had this crazy idea (ppl thought) to release the second trilogy before the first one. This proved to be a good idea after we've seen the special effects from Episode I and II.
Episode IV was released back in 1977, the V in 1980 and the VI in 1983. The first in 1999, the second in 2002 and Episode III is coming in 2005.
The titles were interesting:
A NEW HOPE IV
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK V
THE RETURN OF THE JEDI VI
PHANTOM MENACE I
ATTACK OF THE CLONES II
---not released yet---- III
Personally, I liked all the movies, although some ppl say that the old ones were better. I say that the light sabers duels were great.

Of course the duals are great. In the second trilogy there is complet lack of character developement as well as storyline as well as cause and effect. *smiles* Poor Star Wars..so much potential...

Woo hoo! Star Wars rules! Yeah, I even like it better than LotR, and don't go around calling me a traitor, I get enough of that already.
Mesa likes the Star Wars... RotJ was really cool, in my opinion. But so was the Phantom Menace, though I have this strange thing with writing Clone Wars spoofs...
Sigh, Star Wars is really cool. Though the effects in Lord of the Rings are even better. Tee hee, must admit that.

I've only seen one of the original trilogy. I still have no idea which one it was... The second one i think... (number V overall) The one where Darth Vadar goes "Luke, I am your father" and Luke goes "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
Did you know that George Lucas is planning to do a third trilogy to follow on from the originals? At least... Thats what I heard...

Yes, it's the fifth episode. I didn't know about that idea. Unfortunately, my passion for SW decreased when LotR hit the silver screen. Though, it will always hold a special place in my heart. My fav would deff be the First episode. I lived that duel in the hangar. It was amaizing. And the effects were very cool too. Let's not start a SW-LotR poll; I'm telling you, it's a dangerous bussiness, Frodo, going out your... ahem... wrong quote. Let's get back to SW instead. Right, the second episode is not so great in the char development but, still, effects are to be considered; if I rememb correctly the TTT took the Oscar for best FX in 2002; that would be the year when SW II was released. I have to say that SW had then a serious opponent.
Your turn, guys.

The fifth episode was the worse...very dull, boring, stale, lackluster. Han and Leia were great as always -- as were the droids. *sigh* In fact, the droids have always been good, even in the newest one. Go Lucas!

I've just heard the news...
Episode III is going to be called...
THE BIRTH OF THE EMPIRE.
I don't really know if this data is official, I've heard smt about a guy that works at Lucas said these things.
And, in the end of the movie, we are going to see Obi-Wan (hopefully still played by Ewan McGregor) fighting Anakin (don't rememb now his name) on lava platforms, u know? Like some crazy lava-surfers! And, in the end Annie falls in the lava and becomes Darth Vader.... and from now on we know the story.
BTW< the release date is may 2005.

One thing can be said for Star Wars, and that's that it has Ewan McGregor (well the new ones do anyway). Me like muchly. I really don't know why everyone was so disappointed with the new ones, perhaps it's because I haven't seen them for years and when I did watch them I just watched things and accepted them without question. Unlike Tari, who enjoys questioning films a lot.
I Ewan is in the latest one, you can bet that I'll go see it. They can do what they like with the plot, I never was too much of a Star Wars fan but I like them horse-equvalent animal deserty things too oh and the big funky rolley things, y'know the two gigantic wheels joined together (look at all my technical talk! I'm such a Star Wars boff! Uh... yeah...)
