FSUskygod Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 As a long time SW fan, reading the cannon, watching all of the movies repeatedly and playing this game and even SWG prior - I think you will watch the movie regardless. I agree that there are parts of EPI that annoy and demean the vision of the universe we envision. But the prequels were still entertaining and gave some visual reinforcement to what we imagined. Many think that what was created and delivered to us may have been presented in a better light, but it is what it is, to see Maul battling in 3D will be amazing. The only thing that I really dislike is how Lucas decided to bastardize the Mandorlian lore. The Republic Commando series was by far the most intriguing and entertaining literature thus far. Excited to watch the movies in 3D, even if I wish we'd see additional storyline on the bigscreen and not in animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBSIP Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 You will be disappointed to know the republic commando series was ended because Lucas ruined its continuity in his cartoon series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBSIP Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Ruined? Ruined is usually meant for bad things. I said ruined because I've both read the commando books and watched the clone wars series. I enjoyed the books more. Not to say the series was bad, it was just another case of George showing no consideration about previous productions in the franchise when he makes something. Its not even like he ignored it just because he didn't make it, he had plenty of inconsistencies between the prequels and the original trilogy. He's just a freaking careless writer/director to whom meaningful revision and proofreading are insults of the highest order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSUskygod Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 The Commando series was brilliant and the cartoon series changed the entire lore. If you go the author's site she gives reasoning for no further books and at least gives notes to what would've been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizil Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Why the hell would you willingly pay money to see TPM again. You did see it the first time right? You know how horrible it is going to be? You know the version in the theatres on Friday isn't the Rifftrax version right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TapVallian Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Headed out to see it in about 4 hours. Kids are getting the tickets now as I'm still at work. Going with my 23 year old daughter (and the boyfriend) who wore a jar jar costume the halloween following it's release when she was 9 or 10. We know the movies aren't perfect, but they're fun and we have fond memories from watching it the first time around when we were all younger.

And saying that TCW is another case of George showing no consideration for the EU tells me right away you did not watch any of the shows except 1 or 2. IMO TCW proves that George acknowledges the EU.

DigiFluid Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) The Commando series is finished because Karen Traviss had a temper tantrum over exceedingly minor differences between her books and TCW. Which--as is the case with all Star Wars EU material--has been resolved by subsequent works. The result being that she flipped her lid over nothing at all, and left her Star Wars fans in the lurch because she was too impatient and self-important to concern herself with how the SW EU actually functions. Good riddance, and don't come crawling back. As to the original topic--no. I have no plans to see Episode I 3D. For that matter, I have no plans to see any of the 3D re-releases. 3D is a gimmick that worked out even poorer in 2008-2010 than it did in the 80s. The films weren't made for it, they won't benefit for it because they weren't made with it in demand; it's a pretty blatant cash-grab for yet another pointless re-release. No thank you.

bliapis Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I can visualize the starting battle in 3D where Quin's and Obi's starfighter evade the onslaught and land on Dookus control ship. I think it would be an awesome show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master-Nala Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 My sons have already threatened me if I don't take them to see this movie. They weren't even born when it came out originally. We'll see if they like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSUskygod Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 In the midst of reading Darth Plagueis, watching Sidious in his political infancy is intriuging. To the original topic, it'll be fun to watch - most of us will pay to see it. As for Karen Travis, dammit, I wanted that last book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menasor Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'll go see it again either this weekend or next week. The 3d itself will be average at best but I always enjoy watching a SW movie in theatres so I would go simply for that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzurps Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) I like SWs, but TBH I will not watch the prequels in 3D. I felt all the prequels were lackluster. Actually, I felt the cinematics for SWTOR were far more entertaining and engaging than all of the prequels combined.

Lithy Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The 3D was barley noticeable in most parts as expected but it was fun, it definitely wasn't the best but I still found it enjoyable and because I wasn't born till the late 80s I will be going to see 4-6 in this 3D crap so I can see them on a movie-theatre screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappalazz Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Dont waste your money, i went to see it last night and the 3D as with most films was not used to it's fullest. Hopefully they might of done a better job with the other episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGuru Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Just saw and couldn't disagree more with the above post! The 3D was more subtle than some movies, but there are no obvious "hey look its 3D!" gimmicks. It is the Blue Ray version with 3D. Very well done.
