kelA Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I think it is opening May 19th. I saw a trailer last week on tv, and it did look better than Episodes I&II. Should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOOTERDOG Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Yeah I just watched the newest trailer and it does look awesome! Can't wait until it opens. We have a great old theater that was completely redone with THX & DTS certification. It has one of the larger screens I have viewed and you can cross your legs in comfort.

Grateful11 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I wished they would redo the sound in our GEM Theatre in Kannapolis, NC. It's a great theatre but the sound is so-so. Here's a link to some info on it: The GEM Grateful11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit, the first two where fun to watch, but not anywhere near as good as the original three. However, I just got to looking at the trailer there on the 'net, and this does look to be sweet. Of course, I'll reserve judgement until I actually see the film. Also seems to be a lot darker than the other ones, including Empire Strikes Back.

Omega3002 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 While the trailer has me really excited, I am more looking forward to the release of the soundtrack which is supposed to be released on May 3rd and its supposed to include a 70 minute bonus DVD. "Press Release Sony Classical Releases New Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith Soundtrack That Includes A 70-Minute Bonus Collector's DVD Bonus DVD Takes Viewers on a Musical and Visual Journey Through All Six Films From the Most Popular Movie Saga of All Time and Features Scores From Five-Time Oscar Winner John Williams SOUNDTRACK RELEASED ON MAY 3, 2005 Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith Opens in Theaters Worldwide on May 19, 2005 NEW YORK, March 15 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, May 3, 2005, Sony Classical will release the original motion picture soundtrack of the last episode of the massively popular Star Wars saga, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. It features a new score by five-time Oscar winner John Williams, who is also the composer and conductor of the score for each film in the six-chapter Star Wars saga, and an exclusive collector's DVD -- Star Wars: A Musical Journey -- an unprecedented bonus at no additional cost. Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, written and directed by George Lucas, is the most anticipated movie of the year and opens worldwide on Thursday, May 19, 2005. Created especially to accompany the CD release, the thrilling 70-minute DVD features 16 brand-new music videos set to selections from all six of John Williams' unforgettable Star Wars film scores and has been designed around a timeline that will take the viewer chronologically through the entire saga. Each movement is introduced by actor Ian McDiarmid (who plays Senator Palpatine in the films) and features a spectacular montage of images, complete with excerpts of the original dialogue and sound effects, set to Williams' legendary music which has been newly remixed and remastered in 5.1 surround sound. Williams' principal theme from the new score, entitled "Battle of the Heroes," will be featured in a music video created by Lucasfilm. The soundtrack packaging will also include liner notes from George Lucas plus an exclusive fold-out poster featuring a montage of images from the film. In Revenge of the Sith, the final and most dramatic chapter of the Star Wars saga, the Clone Wars rage as the rift widens between Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) and the Jedi Council. Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), the young Jedi Knight with an allegiance to Chancellor Palpatine, struggles to keep his marriage to Padme' Amidala (Natalie Portman) a secret amid the turmoil. Seduced by promises of power and temptations of the dark side, he pledges himself to the evil Darth Sidious and becomes Darth Vader. Together, Sidious and Vader set in motion a plot of revenge against the Jedi, leading to a climatic lightsaber battle between Vader and his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), that will decide the fate of the galaxy. With 43 Oscar nominations to his credit, Williams has composed a new score for the film, utilizing the themes and musical motives that link it with his earlier scores for the Star Wars films. The London Symphony Orchestra (L.S.O), with the composer conducting, performs the original score. The L.S.O. is the same orchestra that recorded Williams' original Star Wars score 28 years ago and has continued to perform the score for each successive chapter of the saga. In 1999, Sony Classical released the Grammy-nominated original soundtrack recording of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, which was a platinum-selling album in the U.S. and sold more than two million copies worldwide, in addition to a specially packaged Ultimate Edition that featured Williams' entire score for that film. In 2002, the label released the original soundtrack recording of Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. Both are currently available. In September 2004, Sony Classical became the home of all the Star Wars soundtracks with the release of newly remastered editions of the soundtrack recordings of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. The recordings are available individually and in a special boxed set with a deluxe slipcover case. The Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith soundtrack also continues Sony Classical's long association with John Williams, who has recorded a number of non-film projects for the label. Williams won the third of his five Academy Awards for his score for the original Star Wars (1977) and received nominations for his scores for The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). The soundtrack albums for Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back also won Grammy® Awards for Williams in 1977 and 1980, and he was a nominee for Return of the Jedi in 1983 and Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace in 2000.

Audible Nectar Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 It's too bad the acting is "weak sauce" in I and II as compared to IV, V, and VI. The two "prequels" released so far LOOK good, but the acting causes audible groaning in theaters (try the Anakin/Padme love scene in II for example). I've watched each of the prequels ONCE all the way through - save for a bit of system showoff with the "pod race scene". I hope "Sith" is better....but I see so much unfulfilled potential in these. Peter Jackson's "Rings" series makes Lucas look like half of a director in comparison.....especially on the prequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 Audible Nectar: couldn't agree more on the acting. I use a couple of scenes from clones to demo systems but I cannot believe lucas is so out of touch as to consider the acting passable. The worst groaner for me (for some reason) is boba fett's acting. ~shudder~ Perhaps in 25 year's he'll just digitally edit the prequels to add emotion...

sc03979 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 If you are fiendin for some star wars I would suggest star wars: The Clone Wars. It's a cool dvd that puts together all the 5 minute shorts that were broadcasted on the cartoon network. I liked that dvd more then the first 2 prequels.
