Over at mf.com

This is the final sequence after the last spoken words in the movie (C-3PO's "Oh no" reaction to the fact that his mind will be wiped):

There is a big funeral procession for Padme on Naboo (I mean thousands of people), with Jar Jar, Sio Bibble, the current queen etc...Jar Jar only appears in the movie at Padme's funeral (and does not speak) though I personally do like Jar Jar lol.

Then we see Vader and Sidious arriving on the bridge of Star Destroyer. The destroyer looks "almost" the same as the ones from the original episodes, the crew have "almost" the same uniforms and hats and the young captain is Tarkin (played by Wayne Pilgrim)- he looks very much like a young Peter Cushing! (This is where the final trailer shot comes from.)

Then we see Bail Organa's Corvette arriving on Alderaan, then him sitting on the balcony with his wife and the infant Leia.

We then cut to Tatooine where Obi-Wan arrives at Mos Eisley with the infant Luke. He gives him to Beru and turns back to the desert. Beru takes Luke to Owen who is standing on the dune and they both watch the two suns over the horizon with Ben walking off into the sunset. THE END

Surprisingly, Ian McDiarmid really steals this movie. The things he can do with his voice are unbelievable. (By the way, his "Rise" in the trailer is NOT from the Darth Vader birth scene) but from the middle of the movie when Anakin pledges his allegiance to him.)

The whole battle on Kasshyyk is really very short, just a few shots.

Check back for more later!

Are you saying that you have seen the entire movie?

Yes I have seen a rough cut of the movie. I know 99% of people won't believe me and to be honest I can't blame them but they can believe what they want.

The movie is fantastic - same style as the first two films obviously but with more of the feel of the Original Trilogy. I like the first two films story wise very much - this just gets better and does link the two trilogies very well indeed. Star Wars is back for the prequel haters in 2005 lol.

A couple of things I wanted to add that people may or may not know already is:

1st - To clarify and clear up all of the Qui-Gon Jinn controversy. Well the Ternian reports of the dialogue are correct. Yoda does say that he is Qui-Gon's new grateful apprentice. If you look closely in the theatrical trailer there is a very close up shot of Yoda towards the end (not the one where he is reacting to and combating Darth Sidious' lighting strike). Well that is the scene where he is conversing with the dead Jedi Master through the force about keeping your physical identity after death. Now, this takes place on Polis Massa as most people know and Yoda is alone and looking out of a window into space. As they are speaking to one another ,Yoda can see an image of Qui-Gon through the window. This leads Yoda to obviously believe that this is possible and Yoda does have a conversation with Obi-Wan about his conversation with Qui-Gon which is very good also. I know alot of people will not like this but trust me it looks great and is very very well done. George Lucas has really cracked it this time. The explanation that Qui-Gon gives Yoda (can't remember the exact dialogue i'm sorry) is that the main thing that the Sith are looking for is everlasting life (immortality) i.e. Anakin in Episode III but will never find it. Also, on a last note - although Anakin joins the Sith and kills many many people, the reason that Anakin Skywalker can become one with the force is because for quite a simple reason really or so I was told and that is - he is the Chosen One and when he fulfilled the Great Prophecy of the one who would bring the force back into balance and he is the ONLY Jedi (yes Anakin Skywalker's true self is a Jedi) who had the power to come back to the light side of the force. His reward for this, is that he can look open his own two children with his own eyes.

2nd - Quick note - don't know if people know this or not again but during the amazing DUEL - Obi-Wan and Anakin fighting on floating molten rocks as they slide down a mountain on a sea of liquid magma (lava) and they both use the force to jump from one to the other - this takes place right after the fight on top on the factory works pipes and swinging cables seen in the trailer and before the majority of the fight inside the factory itself where the Seperatists are killed by Vader. After the fight on the sea of lava the fight culminates on a cliff top as I think most people already know and Ternian's review of the dialogue and the way that scene plays out is spot on but does sooo not do it justice.

Any more questions - feel free to ask and i'll try my best to give you an adequate answer lol.
