I'll see it when it gets released on the base, that way it'll only cost me 2 bucks.

Final Star Wars bears message for America
Lucas wins festival trophy - and hopes his epic will awaken US to democracy in peril
By Charlotte Higgins / Guardian
The republic is crumbling under attack from alien forces. Democracy is threatened as the leader plays on the people's paranoia. Amid the confusion it is suddenly unclear whether the state is in more danger from insurgents, or from the leader himself.
It sounds more like a Michael Moore polemic than a Star Wars movie. But George Lucas, speaking as his latest epic was given its world premiere at Cannes yesterday, confirmed that Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, could be read as a parable about American politics.
When he conceived his series of films in the 1970s, he says, he was thinking about Vietnam and Nixon, investigating "democracy, and how a senate could give itself over, could surrender itself to a dictator". He found historical echoes down the ages. "I looked at ancient Rome, and how, having got rid of kings, the Senate ended up with Caesar's nephew as emperor ... how democracy turns itself into a dictatorship. I also looked at revolutionary France ... and Hitler.
"It tends to follow similar patterns. Threats from outside leading to the need for more control; democracy not being able to function properly because of internal squabbling."
"I hope that situation never arises in our country," he said. "Maybe the film will awaken people to this danger."
Asked whether Star Wars Episode III openly alluded to the Iraq war, he said: "When I wrote it Iraq didn't exist. We were funding Saddam Hussein and giving him weapons of mass destruction. We were going after Iran. But the parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we are doing in Iraq are unbelievable."
Lucas yesterday received, amid enormous hoopla, one of the highest honours Cannes can bestow: the Trophy of the Festival, which he was awarded on the world's largest ocean liner, the Queen Mary 2.
His film was screened out of competition at Cannes before its London premiere tonight. Lucas said: "I am happy the film doesn't have to compete [for the Palme D'Or], because it probably wouldn't win."
But he was bullish about the tepid critical reception of the more recent Star Wars films.
"I see it all as one movie; I don't pay much attention whether people like individual chapters or not," he said.
"There are two groups of fans for my films: one group over 25, and the other under 25. The people in their 30s and 40s love the first three, and they are in control of the media and the web.
"The more recent ones are fantastically adored by people under 25 and the devotion of each group is about equal ... but one group can express themselves more loudly than the others.
"It will be interesting to see what happens in 10 years when the younger group has grown older."
100%....... tl;dr RomeoFoxtrot

i will see it just because it is the the one i was waiting for, even before shitty episodes I and II were released. Even though the first two were crap, i have been reading reviews from many different sources, newspapers, internet, magazines, and they all sound good. So i will hopefully not be wasting 7 dollars when i see it.

i just got home from seeing it.....ill say this: i think its EASILY (by like a long shot!!) the best of the current trilogy....and in my opinion, on par (or....dare i say it?) BETTER then the best of the original trilogy...at least it is on par with empire strikes back, or return of the jedi (and actually has many similar feelings of return of the jedi.....but even darker)
it was powerful, and moving. my brother and i were near tears at a couple points(seriously!)
and only the bare minimum of bad lines and cheesy dialogue....and a brief moment of complete idiocy in this regard....even the "i have a bad feeling about this" is well placed.
i *gasp* hate to say it, but george lucas was right....it is like titanic...you know the ultimate end....but, it is pulled off amazingly well.....
supurb movie in my opinion....ill be seeing it again.
i know some people will totally disagree with me....but that is their right!
i give it five: (starwars)(starwars)(starwars)(starwars)(starwars)

Just got back from the midnight show... It rocked, i think it is the best Star Wars Movie to Date. Period. I can't believe i said that.
The Best Part... Jar Jar Binks Doesn't say a single word and you only see his dumbass for like 5 seconds total.
Oh, and Natalie Portman is super hot as usual. Funny thing happened while watching it in the theater during one of the cheesy chick flick like parts, a dude yells out, "C'Mon Portman, show Yer Tits." It was hilarious.

I reversed my earlier position and did go see it opening day - and it was worth it. ETV is right, it's the best of the prequels and is on a par with the original trilogy. I'll be seeing it again - and I plan to make a special trip to a theater that has a digital projector so I can see it that way too.

....that is your opinion , so telling him he is wrong is a mistake.....but hey...you know
.
i saw the movie yesterday with my son and some friends.....it was a little boring at times but overall good...certainly better than the last two....
and here is something completeley different...
PORTMAN'S RESPECT FOR POLE-DANCERS
.........STAR WARS beauty NATALIE PORTMAN has developed a new respect for pole-dancers after learning their moves for her new movie CLOSER.
The actress was required to go through a month of lessons for her role as a stripper in the film, and she admits she had no idea how much hard work is involved.
She says, "It was much, much more difficult than I expected. It was really, really intense. It takes a lot of upper body strength. You just watch it and it's so sexy and you forget about all the strength and skill it takes.
"I mean, I just don't understand how those girls (do it). I left and I was bruised everywhere and sore on my arms."

Okay, I saw Star Wars 3 and I was not too impressed. I'll break my reason down to various points:
1. Story Line: Like many Hollywood movies, Star Wars 3 suffers from the idea that the best way to get an international hit is to have a bunch of big name stars, lots of special effects, blow things up, and scrimp on an actual story line since properly translating a story so that it reaches a wide range of audiences from an international perspective to age and subculture perspective is hard. Thus screw the story line.
The second half of the movie was better than the first half but that was more due to the fact that it started to explain much of the basis for the original Star Wars (Star Wars 4). If I had not seen the original I would have questioned why this movie was made- - -it does not stand by itself which is bad because I think a sequel (prequel) should be able to stand alone regardless of any movie it's related to.
2. Special Effects: Decent but not really much better than you'll see on some Saturday morning kiddie shows.
3. Natalie Portman: Hey, I'm a male so it does affect my view of the movie if I think she's hot. She looks quite good in the second half of the movie but does not look so good in the first half.
Executive Summary: Don't waste your money on it. Rent it when it comes out. It's not worth buying because while you might like it enough to have seen it once you probably won't have any great desire to see it again.
[Note: I did not see Star Wars II since Star Wars I sucked so much.]
[Note 2: Any longer and I would have to change my name to Jeff.]
