George Lucas doing a Goatse. Most awesome.
I have a feeling Episode 3 will be "okey" (=better than 1 and 2).
As long as it doesnt contain any crappy lameass humour (Jar Jar in Episode 1, and Gimli/Legolas/Whatever in LOTR) I'm happy.
And please, no god damn uncool one liners ("This is why I hate flying" Episode 2).
Can't believe I'm still here.

Banned!
It's actually because I have no intention of seeing Episode III until, at the very least, it's £2 on DVD. Or somebody else is watching it and I'm round theirs.
Grrr. Argh.

That could pretty much sum up all of us... in our twenties and thirties, harping on about how much better comic books were when we were kids... and forced to live in dumpsters.
Ep 3. I will see it. I will be disappointed, However, I remember being so dazed that I liked Ep 1 the first time, and Ep 2 was still so much better than 1 that I liked it the first time, too. So I can take refuge in the first viewing.
Besides, I'm waiting for FF, Ep 3, Hitchhiker's Guide and Serenity within like a four-month period, so at least one will be disappointing and one will be brilliant. I'm guessing FF and Ep 3 will disappoint, Hitchhiker's: don't know yet, Serenity: brilliant.

I don't be disapointed because I tend to try and go to movies with no expectations and I've little faith that ep 3 will be any better than ep 1 or 2. There is no reason to believe George Lucas will magically become a better director especially as too much of the film is joining to dots of events leaving not a huge amount of freedom.
It could be fun-I enjoyed Ep 2 very much but I'm not expecting another "Empire Strike back" much like no Copolla film now could be a Godfather, no Spielberg film will be Jaw or Empire of the sun again and no Tarintino film will be Pulp Fiction even if Kill Bill was reasonably enjoyable.
I'm more intrested in going to see how Darth Vader is made and how the elements are put in place for ep 4 rather than expecting to be wowed by anything beyond great special effects or a great lightsabre fight or two.
I have higher expectations of Hitchikers guide, Kingdom of Heaven, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Batman Begins, The Brothers Grimm, Wallace and grommit and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe based on the talent behnf the lot of them currently being on better form than what Lucas has.

Saw the final trailer. Stupid bloody hats on wookies. Looks pants.
But years of being a fan before the recent(ish) prequel disappointments mean I'll probably go see it anyway...*sighs*

Sure he did:
1) Said, "This party's over!"
2) Had a purple lightsabre (as did I when someone kicked me in the nads)
3) Killed Jango
4) The most entirely miscast actor in Ep 1.

There are those who argue that Episode 1 was cursed the moment someone cast Samuel L. Jackson in a role where he couldn't say "F***."

You know he was still a badass. Hell, he was the only jedi with a purple lightsaber. Not cause he liked the color, but because no one is gonna f*** with a guy with a purple lightsaber.
