No major cliffhangers George...please!!!

Yeah...that wouldn't be good 😂 I bet Padme gets kidnapped or something..

Well, that was the general idea. Wasn't it?

I don't think we'll see EpII end with her kidnapping unresolved. That would be too close to being like Hans capture by fett for my liking. Need and original cliffhanger.

Gawd, all our suspense and speculation for Episode 2 and yet TPM didn't even end with a cliffhanger. With a cliffhangar at the end of Episode 2 it will indeed be an even bigger wait for Episode 3!
I so badly hope that Episode 3 rolls into the sequel trilogy well and has some sort of really cool unexpected plot twist that affects the way we watch the OT. That may be one reason why GL wanted to do the PT afterwards. Like for instance, the ways we will look at Darth Vader and Boba Fett.

I can't see that happening. Episode-III will finish still at least 15 years shy of Episode-IV probably more.

I agree DD. I hope something happens so that when one of the characters from the PT says something in the OT we think something totally different than what we originally thought. Why does Vader say to Boba Fett "no disentracrations?" There has to be a reason for that. Maybe Jango or a young Boba does this to a Jedi and Anakin see's it. Plus, Obi-Wan always seemed like he was hiding something, that whole "certain point of view" always gets me. Why isn't Naboo or Padme ever mentioned in the OT? There has to be a reason for all these things.

It wasn't invented when the OT was made. And the "no disintegrations" thing is odd, I guess that's just the quick and easy way to get your money. Catching someone alive is more troublesome.

What would be neat if someone would say building a space station the size of a moon is impossible. And then we cut to Ep4.

Even better if they say that building a battle station the size of a small moon would take over 15 years.....

I just really really want to see Vader in ep3. In all his great evilness. 😈

That goes without saying.

queeq abides

No it doesn't, she daid it...

I hope we see a version of Vaders suit that is totally recohnisable as Vader but kinda looks less techie.

She said it, but she has been know to be redundant... from time to time. 😂

I like to see a young and agile Vader all suited up.

queeq abides

Yes I want Vader, want to see him hunt down some jedi`s.
Obi -Wan sure was familiar with the name Vader in ANH, so I will guess Vader is introduced in ep3. Read some place that James earl Jones had a contract for ep3. Mayby I dreamt it, but it feels to real for that.

Yeah, in an interview he said that he asked Lucas if he would be needed and Lucas said "yeah, for about 5 mintues" So my guess would be that Anakin becomes Darth Vader before suiting up. He is probably already Vader when his and Obi-Wan's duel takes place.

Yeah..but Vader's not Vader without the suit!! I'm in eager anticipation for that scene more than any other!!!!!

I can picture it now........

We hear the Imperial march strike up slow and moody....

Through the mist of the rejuvination chamber a hollow rasp is heard, like the laboured breathing of some mechanical beast......

A massive, metal clad figure of medieval horror steps toward the camera....

The dark lord of the sith speaks...."What is thy bidding,my master?"

Stop it ! Stop it! You're driving me crazy !!! 😂

Remember, in between Episode-III and Episode-IV there will be many years of imperial growth in which time Vader, as the Emperors Emmisary of Evil, will oversee the galactic spread of the Empire.

I'm sure he'll make a name for himself doing that and therefore OB1 will become familiar with his attrocities.

I must disagree, RC. I think Vader/Anakin will be first and foremost Palpy's henchman. He doesn't rise to great power until ESB. Notice that Tarkin was still 'holding Vader's leash' in ANH. I guess that was a reference to Vader being important, dangerous, but not in the highest place of power in the galaxy. I think people like Tarkin were and Anakin was important to ward off the only power that threatened Palpy rule over the galaxy: the Jedi.

I don't agree, Vader is the right hand man to Palpatine. Tarkin is foremost a politician, whilst Vader is a doer.

It's Vader who boldly struts onto the captured diplomatic vessel, where;s Tarkin? On the deathstar wearing carpet slippers.

If anything, they hold equel power in ANH, Tarkin from the political arena and Vader from the military one.

RC, your last statement was excellent. I think you hit the nail on the head there. But I think James Earl Jones needs more than 5 minutes of dialogue for epIII. 🙁
