Episode II Attack of the clones - Spoilers galore I hope ;)
Well It's not long now, just a couple of months, so how's everyone looking forward to what promises to be the best star wars film since Return of the Jedi 
I've seen some of the artwork and sketches and photo teasers and it's looking good, (especially Natalie Portman who's looking VERY good). So what do you guys think?

I must say older Annakin is a huge improvement although my heart still belongs to Obi-Wan (I think Ewan really suits a beard!)
I just hope its not all lovely-dovey and we get to see some good battles.

I read a script review (sorry, can't remember the url at the moment) and it read fantastically. How that translates onto the screen we will have to wait and see, but from the teaser trailers and spoilers, it looks good.

I read a script review on TheForce.net which has since been removed by Lucasfilm's lawyers...it was a pretty good read and was done by peicing together all of the rumours/photos/trailers etc that came out of filming..wonder how true it will all be?

Well the current issue of SFX has a runthrough of their version of the plot. and I think it looks cool

I am looking forward to this being released, I can't wait to see how they link up the first 3 films with the start of the (what is now Epsidoe IV) first Star Wars that I watched
No, I don't want to read the books! BTW the books were written based on the films & then extrapolated or are the films based on the books? Sorry to sound dumb but I just wondered.

As far as I know, the films are canon and anything else is subject to change at Lucas' whim.
Could be wrong though

Posted: 23:48 Mar 09 2002 As far as I can make out, there seem to be two levels of canon in Star Wars. The movies, and the "Expanded Universe" which consists of every licensed thing published (possibly even including the original (somewhat silly) Marvel comics. The encyclopedias, novels, Fact Files, comics and games all cross-refer back and forth across this expanded universe... How they stop it contradicting I don't know!

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that the film that was released first (commonly called "Star Wars" actually called "A new hope" ) was always refered to as edisode IV, even in the first release. This also means that it was always planned to release 3 prequals, which not everyone realises.

Just seen the final trailer for episode 2...
cant fault the visuals, the shots of the battlefield were very reminicent of Empire, and well... someone sure liked bladerunner.
seeing the first few shots of many jedi fighting together certainly is tantalizing

One question.. canon? 
Posted: 19:09 Mar 11 2002
Canon here means like "official" lore. If it happens in the movies then it's like "Star Wars Truth"
If there's something in a book or a comic, then it's not considered "unchangable", and if George Lucas shows something different in a movie, it's the movie that's "right" and the book/comic/action figure that's "wrong"

That pretty much jibes with my understanding. There's a fair amount of information on starwars.com about all this.

episode 1 was ok but i dunno i'm not looknig forward to this only natalie portman mmmm. but it may be ok, thing is it doesn;t look like it has a star wars feel to it from the trailors i've seen. ok episode 1 didn't have much of a star wars feel either, not the same feel as the originals but episode 2 looks worse, i ahte to say this as i love star wars but it jsut looks boring.

Okay the very first released version of Star Wars..the FIRST theatrical release was simply titled.. Star Wars. There was no mention of Episode IV or anything else as the film was not seen as a blockbuster by anyone. Lucas himself was having a meal around the corner from Mann's Chinese Theatre on Star Wars's opening day and was curious what everyone was queing to see....turned out to be his film. After the phenomanal success of Star Wars the opening credits were changed to Episode IV: A New Hope but not so that Lucas could film prequels but to put the film into it's proper timeline. You see when Lucas wrote the Star Wars plot the story was huge(He wrote basically from Episode 1 to Episode 9) and he realised that he would never be able to get the whole story into a 2 hour movie..so he picked the 4th part as it introduced characters and had the most rounded story which meant it could be used as a single film. When the film was successful 20th Century Fox immediatley wanted a sequel which Lucas already had a basic storyline for and only needed slight alterations to make into Empire Strikes Back(eg - The Wampa attack at the start of the movie was added to give a reason why Mark Hamill's face looked different..the result of a real-life car crash).

Anyway basically Star Wars was originally Star Wars but all versions of the film eventually had Episode IV: A New Hope added to them..it's only the original 1977 Theatrical Release that had just Star Wars.
PS - Can you tell I love these films
