StarWars 2
by Steve Gibson, Jun 28, 2000 2:00pm PDTThe latest StarWars prequel has just begun shooting over in Australia. Cant really say that the first one did a whole lot for me but here is to hoping that the next one is better. Word is that our favorite JarJar due to popular demand (heh) will be making another appearance in the 2nd episode.
The still-untitled Episode II, the first installment in the Star Wars saga to go all-digital, is scheduled to wrap up in August in Australia before moving on to a month of shooting on location in Italy and Tunisia. "It's hard for me to remember if I'm still shooting Episode I, the special edition, the DVD or Episode II," writes Lucas, a man who's obviously got a lot on his mind. Other crew members were pumped up for the shoot as well.

Maybe by the third movie the characters will be properly developed enough for us to give a shit.

I see it that way too. It takes some hubris to shoot TLOTR. Disney had the rights and never dared, Bakshi lacked the funding and the artistry to do it right, and suddenly along comes Jackson, who has a pretty thin portfolio (even if "Heavenly Creatures" is damn good and "Dead Alive" is hysterically funny). The potential's there -- the trailer, at least technically, looks superb. Well, whether he gets it right or not, we'll always have the books. :)
1) What the hell does the title of Episode 1 have to do with anything in the movie? No phantoms or menaces....
2) I read of a post a while ago about how old man Lucas is putting a fast one by us and having the impulsive Obi-Wan (Ewan) become Vader rather than Lil' Anakin. Anyone know the site or what I'm talking about?
How did the Jedi get wiped out, the same as the Sith got wiped out? Was there a movement to rebuild the Jedis at the end of Ep 6? Did Luke say anything about training an apprentice?
Thanks!

Metachlorines. When did Ben Kenobi check Luke for this medical equivelant of a Jedi trait? Was it behind the sandcrawler, with his hand up his ass? Or perhaps it was while they were in Mos Eisley - with his hand up his ass.
I know, it was while they were flying in the Milennium Falcon. You see, Obi Won and Luke were talking, and he had his hand in his ass.
Thanks!

Still, I find it very curious that the Jedis think the Sith were extinct and yet there are still Sith Lords around, using the guise of 'master and trainee' to keep their numbers hidden.
Obviously they are not extinct, so where did they go to remain Sith? Where did the Sith hide out - as political leaders?
Hmmm.
Thanks!

If the Sith were a myth and long destroyed, then what were the Jedis still doing? Who were they fighting? Why have Jedis?
Why did the Jedis believe the Sith to be long destroyed? There's something missing here...
Thanks!

Did the Jedi Masters know of Darth Sideous? Who were they fighting? Why have Jedi Knights if not to have an eternal foe? They knew about Sideous, and possibly Senator Palpatine too. Didn't the Jedi Knights follow current events and monitor political nominations?
Thanks!

THE CLONE WARS SAGA:
- Darth Maul will be return as a clone and hopefully this time he will live longer.
- Obi-Wan will molest Jar-Jar and show him his 'lightsaber'. Somehow, it fits and Jar-Jar becomes Obi-Wan's 'Jedi-In-Waiting'.
- Luke finds Queen Amidala alone and insists on showing her his force, but is laughed at and banished from the kingdom forevermore. It seems in the end she prefers the Dark Side.
- Darth Sideous signs Queen Amidala on to do three more films, but they have nothing to do with Star Wars...
Thanks!

Ridley Scott should direct the next Star Wars. Ridley Scott should also be directing LOTR.
Peter Jackson is shooting "The Lord of the Rings" in New Zealand. Now *that's* cool.
