It actually looks like it's set between Episodes III and IV...
Not bad actually.
Horrifying character choice, and acting but hey, they probably did it for free. The effect are pretty damn good! Cool space battle!
I just couldn't stop laughing: "So, we've got a couple fat ugly chicks who are Jedi, a fat ugly dude who's a bounty hunter and another fat dude who's another Jedi..." :lol:
For the price, it's worth downloading the 250 MB file and giving it your 40 minutes.
If you're willing to drive, the Chaska theatre is brand new, stadium seating, great sound, and will be relatively empty. If they're doing a midnight show, that's where I'd be interested in going...

I am downloading it now. I will watch it on the PSP this weekend.
I can make a DVD for you Joe. This is to play in your regular DVD player, right?

A friend of mine manages the Woodbury 10 theatre and is seeing it on Tuesday at midnight. It would be pretty much employees only so the theatre would be much more empty, and it would be free. He said i could bring whoever if you guys want to go tuesday instead of wednesday.
Let me know if this works out for you.

I might do a Tuesday midnight if it's free and there is no BS waiting in line etc. CONFIRM there will be zero issues with getting in etc. I assume there will be no previews if the manager is running it?

Yes, it wont be a problem. I get into free movies there all the time, which Hauser can vouch for since he sees alot of them with me. I will call Zach, my friend that works there, today to let him know we are coming and get the exact time he will be showing it. Not sure about previews, but ill ask him and get back to you.
Directions to Woodbury 10 Theatre: Take 494 East past HYW 61 then north to Vally Creek Rd. Exit on Vally Creek and take a right. Take a left at the 3rd stop light (you will see a Ciatti's restaurant on the corner). Go straight at the stop sign past Target and the theatre will be on your left.

Michelle hasn't decided if she is coming yet. We are going to the Twins game - then I am probably going to meet you guys in Woodbury.

Lets say 10pm at Applebee's in Woodbury. I think it is off Valley Creek also. If not, then its nearby there very close.

Ok guys, we have a slight problem. I was finally able to get ahold of Zach, my friend who works there. He talked to the owner who said he doesnt want a whole bunch of people showing up because he is worried about an inspector or something to show up and cite his theatre for showing the movie early to lots of non-employees. Whatever....
Also, Zach is already bringing his dad and one of his dad's friends (i didnt know this).
So, he told me i could only bring like 2 other people. I really thought the number of people wouldnt be a problem because i know him and the other managers there and they dont give a shit about friends of employees seeing free movies all the time.
Anyways.... i guess i fucked up by assuming i could bring whoever. So, you might want to plan on seeing it tommarrow instead. I know Eric took work off, and i already talked to him on the phone. If need be, i will take him and Tiff both just because i dont want to cause any work trouble for him.
Sorry guys. Its a no go for sure. Lets plan on tommarrow.

It was worth Jar Jar Binks. It was worth Hayden Christensen's horrible acting in Episode II. It was worth the horrible dialogue and cheesy kid cast for Anakin in Episode I. It was worth all of those frustrating annoyances to see a finale like this.
Yes you can nit-pick a couple moments in this one, but the good surpasses the bad hands down.
Finally, they nailed it.
5 out of 5.
Finally.
I predict this one will do over $100 million this weekend alone...

I think it is hard for a movie to live up to the hype when you already know what the storyline is. This movie does about the best job you can do in this situation. The only real letdown is that the saga is over (for now) We have been following these characters and story for 25 years

It lived up to everything i hoped for, thats for sure. There were still a few really cheezy parts where i just had to roll my eyes at Lucas' lack of directing talent (especially in the beginnning), but the story really cant be screwed up too much by that.
The Emperor made the movie. Awesome job of acting by that guy. Hayden was..... better, which isnt saying much.
But, i enjoyed it over all.
5 out of 5

Well it was worth the wait. It did not dissapoint but I was not expecting perfection. They got this one right but not perfect.
Hayden's dry, two dimensional, acting was still distracting but better. They did the saga justice. It was pleasantly dark and tragic.
It still suffered from a lack of character chemistry. I still didn't belive that padme and anakin would be in love. Those two just have no on screen chemistry at all.
Though better the directing & dialouge still suffer but the actors, effects, action, story, & feal of the film help to dilute the effects of lucas' B movie dirrecting talant.
It is nearly as good as empire.
4.5/5
I am still overall dissapointed with the first three. If lucas would have gotten more help from good writers and directors these movies could have been spectacular. They had more potential simply from the univers and the storyline than lord of the rings but do not hold a candle to them in quality of dialoge and dirrecting thus overall are inferior films.

Best of the last three. Some real great stuff, and some real G. Lucas diaharea.... (sp?) Some plot I didnt expect which is a nice surprise....
