What scares me is there are signs of the same stilted dialogue and delivery :(

Poor characterization and poorer dialogue (of the eye-rolling calibre) are the main reasons for my hating Parts I and II.

Argh sorry John! That was where I got it, and it was the real thing. They must have done something, sorry! :(

Tim,

You don't need to SEE the movie to believe (waves a hand in front of you)... the trailer, will do fine.

I'm with Chin, I'll believe it when I see it.

Granted, all the previous two episodes were accepted with the same enthusiasm from fans and audience members in the same fashion of excitement as we are seeing with the upcoming episode; however, we ended up getting mediocre plots from both previous films. They always had great visuals, but if anything that has been proved, visuals alone can not make a classic film. I can only hope this will be the best of the three new episodes, but with Hayden as the films anchor character, it makes it hard to believe that is possible.

I believe "the circle is now complete" is said by Darth during the saber fight between him and Obiwan in ANH.

its "the saga is now complete", unless you are talking about "tHE Ring Two".

:)

OMG! That was the coolest Star Wars I've ever seen. The Circle Is Now Complete.
I cannot wait to see this in 2 more months. The suspense is killing me. Favorite quotes in the trailer: "Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?" and "Is it possible to learn this power?" This is going to blow all other movies of 2005 away. :D

well, Probably the guy is thousands of years old like yoda, he must be a fallen jedi himself with a backround story that we will hear about in this film (and maybe another prequel will be possible...smt like star wars: birth of the dark side). He was allways that old but he was disguised maybe (Dont forget...this is the emperor...lord of deception and all...aka satan)so...he will come forth in his reptile-like appearance.
2nd Scenario is that Joda and The bad emperor have smt common in their secret backround, maybe they are related in some way, sources of good and evil)
My estimate is that they both (yoda and sidius) started their teaching methods in the same timeline.

All plot, dialogue, and acting woes aside, I'd like to know how "Palpatine" goes from looking like his same old self, to looking like the decrepit ancient looking Emporer in the same film. It happened in the trailer. How does this happen so quickly in the Star Wars timeline? Does anyone have the skinny on that? If not, let's hope "GL" explains this in the film.
