Ok, ok, we all know Lucas is shooting this installment totally digitally. And despite arguments to the contrary by some members, everything I have read thus far state that EIII will ONLY be shown digitally, meaning that if you own a theater and want to show EIII, you're going to have to cough up a couple of hundred G's and install an industrial grade DLP projector. Personally, I don't have a problem with that. It's the natural evolution of the medium.
What I DO have a problem with is the amount of time we are going to have to wait now to see the finished product. Principal photography has been finished for quite some time now. I really don't believe it will take over a year to put in the digital effects.
What I'm saying is I don't think we should have to wait until May 2005 to see this flick. I really don't. I don't care about this "3 year" thing.

Yes, the answer, very simply, is that it takes them that long- and they nearly failed to be finished on time for AOTC (some would say the film was indeed unfinished...)

Why rush it? I would honestly rather wait 5 YEARS and have a great movie than wait 3 years and get another movie on par with TPM or AOTC. I am hoping EPIII will be much better than the past two.
It's called The Power of the Dark Side. It's the first part of a trilogy, the remaining parts will be The Power of the Jedi and The Power of the Force. Basically it's a coming of age story of a young jedi, Cara, and of the threats to the newfound Galatic Alliance (this takes place post-NJO).
personally. i think that it SHOULD take a long time becasue the more time they work on it, the better the story line, fx, and everything else will be, so you guys need to just sit down and wait like good boys.....lol

the better the story line??? erm... no
they already shot the scenes, the only thing they'll do is get pick up shots here and there and perhaps at most make one new scene and that's it
it won't change the storyline much
well... If they shot many times some scenes, with diffrent dialogues...well, just think:
"Luke, i'm your Father"
"Luke, Obi wan was your father"
"Luke, Obi wan was my boyfriend"
"Luke, The emperor was your uncle"
"Luke, your performance stinks..."
Well, then pick the wanted line, and re-edit a brand new storyline
