Star Wars nerd alert

[Spinaroonie]

I watched Harry Knowleso n the news. What a liar, he didn't see the movie, his site had a lull in pageviews and he needed traffic.

Truthmedia actually HAS seen the film.

Did anyone else here that Anakin will be Wielding two lightsabers in this one?

Kind of like a two sworded type deal, like Leonardo of the Ninja Turtles.

I just saw the action figure holding two of them in the store and a commerical, dont know if that is the case in the movie, I would assume so.

"Truth Media Reviews

If you have stumbled upon this page, the index that contains all the TruthMedia reviews, chances are you have at least some iota of intelligence. This is a good thing because each and every single "TruthMedia" review in this section is complete and total bullshit created solely to generate flame mail from Internet citizens who, for some pathetic reason, have attached their egos to a movie, band, or game company. The sheer intensity that some people exhibit while defending whatever silly movie or band just boggles our minds, so this section of the site was created to prey upon these people's idiocy and use it for our own personal amusement. Flame mail from every article will be posted randomly throughout the week, and the more flame mail, the better the ranking the author receives.

Most of the authors have not even seen the movies, heard the music CDs, or used the software reviewed; we simply leaf through various online reviews and summarize them while creating grevious typos, factual errors, and outright fallacies in an attempt to shatter the fragile little worlds of people who associate their entire personality and sense of being with a random form of capitalistic media. We plan on continuing to do this until America realizes that we're not defined by the music, movies, and products we buy... so basically, this section will go on for infinity or possibly longer.

Please help us increase the amount of stupid, incoherent, rambling flame mail by forwarding direct links to the reviews to all your zealot, media-obsessed friends so they will write us and result in unintentionally entertaining every rational, sane person who reads this site. Under NO circumstances should you spam, flood, or harass people, newsgroups, or websites with these links.

Oh, and while reading the flame messages sent to our "reviewers," make sure to keep in mind that by a single click of the mouse any one of these moron readers could've reached this page and read this text explaining that the entire review section is a joke and 100% bullshit. You know, if your outlook on all humanity wasn't depressing enough as is. The Internet makes you stupid."

he does. this means either one of two things (that i can think of, anyway):

1. the green one is his and the blue one is Obi-Wan's, which Anakin has for whatever reason

2. many Jedi make more than one lightsaber, for whatever reason. few use two sabers in tandem, though. maybe the blue one is the one Luke eventually gets and the green is the one Anakin normally uses (which seems to be the case in this movie)

 

[Orlanth]

James Earl Jones only does Darth Vader's voice. So I would think James will be doing the voice of Vader in Ep. 3.

In Ep. 2, I am not sure what'll happen with Vader's voice. We will most likly see Vader in Ep 2. After the lightsaber fight with Obi-Wan.

Yoda does use his lightsaber in Ep 2. He has a kind of hover-seat. But I doubt that he use's it in the fight.

Can't wait to see the early type of Star Destroyer in Ep 2.y

 

[nj-voyeur]

Yes Yoda does have dramatic fight scence in ep.2.
there is a magazine on the rack right now, i think its Time or some other news magazine, that has a 4 page spread on the story. Here are some highlights of the story line.

1. What are "the Clones"? Remember Boba Fett from ESB and RTJ? His father (?) Janga Fett makes an army of clones made from himself. He sells these to the bad guys. this is probalby how they win and start ruling the universe. It also said that boba is actually a clone of Janga.

2.There will be less of Jar Jar Binks in this one. He is there but not doing much because he's not the main character.

3.Anakin and amadala fall in love and have sex (thus luke and laya). this is against Jedi law and this is the first step to the dark side. (if sex is the darkside, call me blackie!)


Other points.
The first movie was good but it was just setting up the characters. thats why the story line wasnt that great. EP.2 will be alittle mushy with the love stuff but you will see the story line start to chance big time. Vadar's evil head starts to poke out. EP.3 will be the best. YOu have to figure our hero goes from nice guy to Darth Vadar by the end of the movie. No happy ending in this one. Also all the jedi die except for Obi Wan.

 

[Zamdrist]

Well, it was clear to me that Anakin would return to his home planet (I'm not gonna try to spell it here), and that he will find his mother dead, or something to that effect will happen if she isn't dead when he gets there. That's got to happen to tip him over the edge, I'm thinking.

Actually, the clones are the Storm Troopers.

e 1 was to set up the characters, yes, Ep 2 is mostly the turn point of Anakin to Vader. Thre is a love stroy, but not take up such a huge part in the movie. There has to be Palpatine bringing in the Storm Troopers (Clones) and you have The Jedi being killed (not all). There is the lightsabar fight between Anakin and Obi Wan, from the fight, Anakin has to wear hias sua t as Vader (you'll see why).
Not all Jedi are killed.Obi Wan and Yoda.

So excited you forgot and left the caps-lock on!

 

[Starfish]

AND BOTH ARE PURPLE, GAWDDAMNIT!

I just fucking adore you.

Okay, so I just have to say....


I am a bigger Star Wars fan than all of you, put into a gunny sack and tossed off a bridge, will ever be.

I read somewhere on here that some one couldn't remember the name of the actor who portrays Obi Wan......

Okay, but don't forget this again... or you shall feel my wrath...

His name is Ewan McGregor and he is the greatest actor alive, and the nicest person alive. He clearly deserves, more than anyone else, all the fame and recognition that suits him. And then some.

 

[Zamdrist]

It was me.

That's what I hated so much about Episode I, watching Liam 'Barf' Nielson try to act beside Ewan. That patronizing snide manner about him makes me hurl.

Re: Re: CAN NOT WAIT TILL IT COMES OUT

LMAO..... I too, cannot wait for it to come out. It should be awesome. Realistically, how could Episode one have lived up to all the unrealistic expectations that people had. It was an Ok movie, so hopefully this one will be awesome.

[Spinaroonie]

I took a look at the Toys R Us flyer in the paper. ne of the lightsabers had a guard for your hand that you'd use with a real sword. The most useless thing ever.

hee hee! go Fishy!!

and no .. I am the biggest star wars fan!
Sycllis, I nod respectfully to your knowledge!

I have a thought .. i have read a lot about Yoda's ass-kickin in this one. especially the need for cgi Yoda instead of hand putppet yoda .. and I'm all for seein the little green guy's ears go flat and whopin some tail .. but I'm concerned tha the may lose some of his endearing nature that only Frank Oz (et al) can bring to him. Will Lucas sacrafice the subtlety of this whimsical character to show off ILM's special effects abilities?? I hope not! (but I can't wait to see!!) I'm hopin he get's sick of me-sah-no-wanna-be-dyn!!! and hacks his ears off!!

and its Jango Fett, not Janga .. I think thats that silly block game

Actually, the clones are the Storm Troopers.

actually, you're wrong.

Stormtroopers are regular humans, not clones. see, there's this little problem with some of the clones in that they go FUCKING BERZERK! there is a one year minimum growth (in the tube) period that cannot be broken, as due to some wierd phenomonon with the Force, if they are grown in less time, they're INSANE!



now, the armor and equipment that the clone troopers use is furthered to create the stormtroopers, yes, but the stormtroopers are not clones. see, if you take the one year growth limit into consideration, logistically, an army made entirely out of clones just becomes too costly to maintain, and you can't just order up a batch of reinforcements like it seems like you should be able to.

that and large-scale cloning is just labeled a bad idea and scrapped after the Clone Wars.

and let it be known that if in the extreemly unlikely event that i'm wrong, they just threw away their entire sceme of making the movies, comics, books, and tv shows blend in as seamlessly as possible. nearly every single one involves or mentions Imperial training facilities and many mention (minor but) important characters training to be stormtroopers. if so, then i'll lose a SHITLOAD of respect for and interest in the Star Wars Universe. and i'm a hard core SW fan.

I know about the time limit for cloning, and what happens if there isn't enough time. Example, they cloned a Jedi Knight but didnt wait the wholoe year, so he is insane, using the good sidce od the force to do bad.

Anyways, I did read a some offical information, which stated that Storm Troopers are Clones. Just listen here, all have the same voice, same height, so\ame weight etc etc. I even think it has this on the offical website in the database. I'll look at it.

 

[scylis]

didn't see a mention of it at starwars.com.

 

[Orlanth]

Ok, it doesn't say that Storm Troopers are the clones, but it more then hints that it was.

After the battle of Endor, Storm Troopers were rarly eever seen. Untill a gran Admiral rebuilt a Cloning yard, then the Strom Troopers came back.

Bobba and Jango Feet probably do make Clones of themselfs, but the "Clones" in Ep 2's name refeares to the Storm Troopers.

We also see a early dsesign of Star Destroyer's in Ep 2.

WARNING! the following post contains a handful of important *SPOILERS*. read no further if you want to be suprised when watching the movie!

1) no they weren't. there were litterally billions of Stormtroopers scattered throughout the Empire at the time of the Battle of Endor. now, the cream of the crop was taken out at Endor, but they all just didn't dissapear. if that scene from the end of RotJ where people are rioting and celebrating on Coruscant had continued for another few minutes, we'd see hundreds of them appear and start firing into the rioting crowds with wild abandon and glee. Stormtroopers were EVERYWHERE THE EMPIRE CONTROLLED, and that's a fuck-lot of planets across the galaxy. Thrawn set up the cloning facilities to get a never-ending supply of troops, not to bring the stormtroopers back

2) *SPOILER* the clone troopers ARE Jango/Boba Fett. Boba is a young clone of Jango, and the clone army is comprised entirely of copies of the galaxy's most ruthless, dangerous, skilled, and capable bounty hunter.

3) that's the Victory class Star Destroyer, the first Star Destroyer.

Bonus *SPOILER*) we also get the Emperor in Ep II (though not in name, i don't think, not yet), and it's all Jar-Jar's fault.

I did not mean straight after the Battle of Endor, but after the awhile they just dsissapered. Because Emperor Palpatine was dead, the Troops didn't get "touched" by him.
Bear with me here. Palpatine used the force to like "touch" all the troops in the Empire. He did this to keep them on his side so to speak. So after he died, the Empire started to slowly disvolve.
Therefore, the Storm Troopers and everyone basicly did what ever they wanted.
Eventually, Storm Troopers were a rare sight, untill a gran Admiral reconstructed a cloning yard, and started to build up the Storm Troopers. And I got that from the www.starwars.com database.

The Storm Troopers are like you said, but they did Clone them, how else could you get millions of men wit the same voice, hieght, weight, etc?

The Victory class sounds right. I have seen them in a Star Wars game, they look about the same, just got some things on the side which point out.

Seeing the Emperor in Ep 2 sounds about right, just as we will see Darth Vader.
