CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Wow...seeing it in great quality certainly makes this an excellent trailer. It seems darker than the two prequels, which I like. I'm praying this will be much better than the mediocre prequels. I'm giving Lucas one more chance!

I have a hard time beleiving that. Making him bitter could have been done a lot better than GL did. He could have at least sounded half-mature. I mean, come on, if a galactic senator fell for him, you'd think she'd have wanted someone slightly mature. Anakin's tone from EP I to EP II were the same. He sounded like a 6 year old all over again.
While I love Star Wars (I have read virtually every book released for the EU) I still think GL should have brought in a semi-intelligent writer to do the dialogue and at least look over the script. Someone like Zahn (5 great books to his credit) or Stackpole (at least 6 books to his credit). Those guys know how to develop people and their emotions... something George Lucas clearly has forgotten since he wrote the original 3.

zahn is awesome. and, i completely agree - lucas does just about nothing positive to add to the series.
sure, he wrote the first one and 'ghost wrote' the next two and made the first three movies...that's where it should have ended.
let someone take over who has a sense of where the story should go instead of what your 5 year old son would enjoy.

"The soundtrack CD of John Williams' score for Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith will be accompanied by a special 70-minute DVD, Star Wars: A Musical Journey, when it is released on May 3, Sony Classical announced Tuesday. The DVD will feature Williams conducting excerpts from his Star Wars scores behind 16 "music videos" compiled from all six films that will include original dialogue and sound effects. Each "movement," will be introduced by Ian McDiarmid, who plays Senator Palpatine."

I disagree that star wars is not for the five year old. I was nine when I saw Return of the Jedi, and I was suckered into star wars.
I think a lot of people seem to forget what made star wars such a hit was the innocence and fun of it. It's not suppose to be cynical or depressing, it's a family movie where the line between good and evil are clearly delineated. It's a popcorn flick, and I think should do well to keep it that way. I guess the 90's were cynical period which did not mesh well with star wars' idea of optimistic idealism.
I've seen the effect of what 'multiple God's do to sci-fi franchise (i.e Star Trek) and would not wish that on any fandom. Keeping consistancy in a series maintains its' integrity, asking another writer, no matter how well they may 'know' the universe creates fragmentation of that universe.
I think Timothy Zahn was a huge star wars fan, worthy of writing the books, but he would have taken star wars in a completely different direction which probalby would not have appealed to me as a nine year old watching star wars for the first time.
Btw, I'm not sure if lucas ever 'wrote' any of the novelizations of the books, but he definitely 'wrote' the movies....let's at least give credit where credit is due, he sucks at dialogue, but he has a great imagination!

lucas publicly admitted that he wrote the majority of the parts of the phantom menace to please his 5 year old son. that's more what i was referring to....
and, for the first three movies at least(IV, V, VI), the books were written before the movies. actually, there's been a rumor circulating for years that lucas found the idea for the entire series(9 movies) by accident and that the whole story wasn't even his to begin with...crazy, huh?
