Steven Spielberg gave ROTS Two Thumbs Up! *Spoilers*

I don't know if you guys went to the ILM Model Discussion in 500 Ballroom tonight, but Rick McCallum showed up and showed his reel. I was at the Ryan Church thing, which was sweet, but this was so much cooler because it was full Digital pristine projection and huge. They were having problems with the sound, which is why they showed it in the first place: as a test. The crowd went nuts, and it was a small crowd.

Highlights from the footage, which will be shown throughout the weekend:

The lightsaber fight between Anakin and ObiWan is FAST! Those guys twirl like no other!

Lots of Kashyyk.

Lots of space battle goodness.

Sidious's shuttle, carrying crispy Anakin, landing on Coruscant at the medical center.

First shots of Tantive IV landing on Alderaan. And wow does that look great!

Padme's funeral at the end

Yoda and Sidious in the Senate. Too cool for words. Yoda knocking Sidious back with his own lightning. Yoda hurling a pod. The full sequence of Yoda getting hurled back by force lightning (from long trailer).

Bail approaching the Clone Troopers at the temple.

Palpatine getting lighting deflected back at him by Mace in their fight.

Grievous fighting ObiWan on Utuapau. I'm a total believer on Grievous now. Too sweet.

The film is DONE. Rick did say that Lucas and himself watched the final digital copy on Wednesday, both being well pleased, along with Steven Spielberg who gave it two thumbs up.

well obviously he'll give it 2 thumbs up..arne't they butt buddies or something?

Spielberg would be brave NOT to give it two thumbs up.

Excellent

Haha eXSBass, our avatars feature characters with the same exact expressions. 😆

How many thumbs did Speilberg give the previous films?

/\ I was just going to say that, the same amount of eyes too 😐!

spielberg would give GL's skidmark stained underwear 'two thumbs up'.
really, we may as well here GL's review of his own movie 🙄

oh yeah, thanks for the spoiler tags.
i guess its just too much to f***ing ask, isnt it?

Steve has been a Star Wars fan since GL showed him that rough cut back in '77. If I was a friend of GL, and he showed me ROTS, of course I'd give him two thumbs up for the effort, and then wash his car for a month.

I concur 😄

yeh i wouldnt get too excited about spielberg giving it two thumbs up,,,back when the phantom menace came out, spielberg said he thought it was the best in the saga..and watta ****in dissapointment that came out to be

bobafett81, you've seen all of that footage that you listed??? Did you like it?

I remember after Spielberg saw TPM he said he turned to Saint Lucas and said "Oh! My! God!". Maybe he watched a different version of the movie to the one I saw.
OK, that was nasty, I like TPM just as much as any of the other SW movies. Which is a lot.

he could of made a better job of TPM back in the 70's. hes just too obsessed with cgi and fogets about the damn story line. just prey to god that he has taken his head out of his arse and made this one into a classic

Well, let's see-him and George Lucas, as well as Harrison Ford, are all trying to plan Indiana Jones 4, so why would he say anthing anti-George Lucas??

I think GL is over the "man, CGI is kewl!" phase, and is on the right track with this film (from what I've seen so far...).

from 1985 interview in From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga:
"Special effects is a means, a way of telling a story. Special effects without a story is a pretty boring thing."

yeah wot else would he give it 3 thumbs and 2 big toes?

its not like he would diss his mate in public!

Saying that the film is crap!
