Hears The Tetris Theme During Nightmares

http://www.variety.com/VR1117980757.html

Looks like along with indy,batman, and iron man we will have jedi on screen this summer as well.

It's pretty much the first three episodes of the new tv show packaged together as a movie, but as a big star wars fan this news makes me really excited.

    Going to be a hot summer, and with the shows continuing past the movie, it's going to be interesting.

      I am just wondering how this will do box office wise compared to a normal star wars release. Considering the main public dont even KNOW about it yet, I dont see it doing anywhere near normal star wars numbers.

    Star wars: the Clone wars. (cartoon)

    I think it comes in 2 minute episodes, watching them all in succession is better than clinging to the releases on cartoon network like I tried when it started.

    Also... James Bond?! this summer?! gosh I haven't heard anything about it, good to hear.

    There were two seasons though, the first had like the two minute eps, and the second ones ran a bit longer.

    Ah, I just remember watching the 2min things in sci-fi. Is the cartoon going to be related to the movie, or is it a different story? Just need to know if watching the seasons would enhance the movie experience.

      Pretty much unrelated except for being in same basic time period.

      Lucas seems to think there are alot of clone wars stories worth telling, lets hope hes right.

      It WILL be interesting seeing anakins padawon though.

        Definitely disagree. It's over. It's been over. The trilogy had a chance to be more and it failed. Horribly. Anything they do now can only be as good or worse than the prequels. When you can stop lying to yourself, then you won't be terribly disappointed every time.

        The Dark Knight will be the best film of the summer.

        Indiana Jones will blow. Shia is in it. Case closed, they just ruined the movie. Harrison Ford, in addition to the Indiana Jones character is enough comic relief. I don't a John Cusack nervous comic wannabe ruining my films. You know, like everything he did in Transformers.

          The prequels were not perfect for sure, but the third one largely redeemed them and showed what the entire trilogy could have been.

          And to say star wars is over in general is silly. The expanded universe is stronger and more interesting then ever. Anyone thats reading the Legacy of the Force series knows that Star Wars is most certainly not OVER.

          Oh but i agree completely that the Dark Knight will be the best movie of the summer.

            The expanded universe will never translate well to the silver screen. The books are great and enjoyed the X-wing series very much. Truce at Bakura and the Children of the Jedi was awesome too. However, Star Wars in the movies is over.

            The 3rd movie was trash, dude. Not only was it too little too late, but Hayden Christensen is the worst thing to happen to acting. Period. You simply can't defend any of those three films. You just can't. There's nothing redeeming about any of them. The fight between Obi Wan and Anakin could have been SO much more. Seriously.

            Oh. And Empire Strikes Back was better than Return of the Jedi. Fuck Ewoks. Fuck them in their furry asses.

              The X WING series would never translate well, but I would argue that one could easily make another trilogy out of the new jedi order books, and then ANOTHER out of the legacy of the force books. Both of those series could EASILY translate to the big screen

                Any of Zahn's books -- but especially the original Thrawn Trilogy -- would translate well. The X-Wing series would make an excellent telly show.

                There's too much in the NJO and LotF books to cover in movies, unless you're going to make a Harry Potter-style epic series out of it, and do a movie for each book. And even then....:no:

                  Well in a dream world, I would like a new trilogy for each of the thrawn series, and then maybe around a 6 or seven more series for both NJO and LotF.

                  And while thats never going to happen, I dont see why we cant get a live action TV show of these events, instead of the between episode 3 and 4 one were getting

                    I started reading the first of the Legacy of the Force on the train ride in today. So far I'm like 4 or 5 chapters in, and it's damn good. Mind you the last thing I read was Ron Paul's A Foreign Policy of Freedom, which was more heavy than purely for enjoyment. Can't wait to read more :D!

                I think it's just time to let it go. It was a great ride, but after 6 movies, it's just done. They can't really make anything that'll be as good as the original and it's just not even an argument anymore.

              I beg to differ.... There was one scene -- ONE SCENE -- which made sitting through all the rest of it worthwhile:

              When the mask is lowered down onto Vader's face and and then pressure seals...and a second later we get the aural pleasure of that very...first...breath. Once in. Once out.

              Kooooooooo....kaaaaaaahhhhhhh.

              You can't honestly tell me that, sitting there in the flickering darkness of the theatre, eyes glued to the screen, hoping for some shred of redemption, some validation for the moniez that you chunked down for the price of ticket, not to mention however many hours you spent in line waiting (for me it was just over 10, then another two actually sitting in our seats in the theatre)....that you didn't get chills down your spine and the half-imagined feeling of a wash of sterile air against the back of your neck, even as you silently -- perhaps even grudgingly -- admitted to yourself "yeah, that was fooking awesome."

              :evillaugh:

                That part was fairly overshadowed by "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Which was the WORST thing to happen to this series because not only was it absolutely ridiculous, it was done by James Earl Jones sounding like he was thinking to himself, "This is ridiculous. I'm a respected actor."

                NOTHING redeems this film, or the trilogy in general. NOTHING.
