I dont ever remember this being a topic before, then again who know's....
In the OT the opening scenes always started off in space with a Star Destroyer......

In TPM and AOTC it started out with the Republic transport's flying in orbit......QuiGon and ObiWan in TPM and Padme in AOTC....

I wonder what the opening scene will be like in ROTS.....?

Anakin and ObiWan........or Padme.....or even Count Dooku.....

Supposedly its a huge space battle.

....above coruscant

lets see ..........i would opt for convoy ships approaching coruscant and then some fall victim of an attack.

only a couple of convoys make it onto coruscant .....................................boh ? i dunno

yep it is star destroyers and the new star fighter that looks like the future tye-fighter of the empire. that's all I have for now out.

what i've heard is that, instead of the usual moving down from the crawl (or up in AOTC's case) the camera remains staionary, and the enemy fleet drops out of hyperspace right into the camera.

meph,

that would be different....humm....

well i suppose that one thing is certain, something will occurr over coruscant involving a space battle or fighters.....

the space battle should be awesome

What I have heard is that it will be republic ships dropping out of HS Lead by Anakin and Obi Wan in there new fighters. They are coming to the rescue of Palpatine who was taken captive by the Seperatives.

I'm not sure the GL has the balls to start ROTS in a different way to all the other films...which always start with something thats seamingly unimportant and burst into surprise. Never a really big battle. Maybe its time for a change George...?

The opening space battle has been comfermed Hero, The only thing unclear is if the ships come out of HS or not.

Well it would be nice to have a big huge battle going on. I do quite like that imagery of ships dropping in from HS straight towards the camera. I think it should be an absolute shed load of ships though. Like a whole damned fleet!

Just to test those CG workers at ILM.

That is exactly what will happen! The OSB (opening space battle) is going to be the largest space battle of any SW movie. Lots of new ship designs and even some of the older ones. Can you imagine a space battle bigger than the one in ROTJ? CAN"T WAIT!!!!!

I'm going with a huge space battle over Coruscant. It seems natural, what with it being in the middle-to-end of the Clone Wars. And I hope we will catch a look at some "Tie" fighters...what they looked like when they were part of the republic....because everything that was part of the republic basically morphed into evil looking when they turned into the Empire.

Haven't you see the new Jedi Star Fighter? They are the precurser to the tie fighters. and as I said the OSB has been comfirmed. So You are in luck Fitz.

jedijunky--that's what I heard too originally but it didn't make sense to me that the military wouldn't have a presence around coruscant. But I guess it makes sense, all the forces would be elsewhere and then return to Coruscant to stop the "kidnapping". I can't wait to see that. That's gonna be the sheeeeeee---t!!

We all hope so!

You only need to add an apostrophe "s" if it shows ownership; otherwise just add an "s".

Oh wait, I swore I'd never post here again. What's happening to me?


corn

SCRAM!!!!

Who was that masked man?

phantom of the forum

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW SCARY!

I just read an interview with the creator of samuri jack and clone wars and he said that the cartoon would follow prolouge of episode3 before the opening sequence so it should be exciting to watch. if already know sorry.

So we may get to see Palp's abduction huh? How cool would that be
?

Heheheh.....Palpatine plots his own kidnapping.....
or in his case 'old man napping'

Yeh, that was a good one

Well at least we will know who the perp is going to be.

Episode 3 by far should have the best opening of any Star Wars movie yet.

With such a huge space battle at the beginning, I hope we are not disapointed with the rest of the film.

all I know is that mace windu is on one of the republic ships during the fighting.

Has anyone seen any pictures of Star Destroyers for Ep3???

check your thread Clai

after the "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith..blah blah blah", u should see a jedi fighter explode and u see two jedi fighters zoom by and then the camera pans to them as they hunt some peeps.

That would be pretty cool.....

Maybe a space chase that starts over the Coruscant skyline and ends up in hyper space then some NEW planet....

who knows.....
