Yeah and just remember one thing; it costs him $1 million just to shoot one hour worth of dialogue with all this digital stuff he's doing...budget budget budget.
It might have 3 hours runtime but I think we'll only see a 30 minute movie that: reveals Palpatine as Sidious (10 Minutes), shows Ani/Obi duel (15 minutes), and plays Darth Vader's Voice (5 minute cameo for James Earl Jones). 😄 J/K
It'll be somewhere between 2 hr 20 and 2 hr 40, it'll never reach 3 hours though I think he should do whatever his vision is...even if, like previously mentioned, its a 5 hour movie. Its his last one, he should do whatever HE wants, not what "average idiot movie goers" need to stay attention to. If you think about it, the LOTR movies were longer than SW movies, and, maybe its just me, but I find them a lot more boring than SW because they lack a quick pace. It seems as though a lot of scenes in them are useless, where Star Wars tends to give you everything thats necessary, like, every scene contributes to it, unlike divulging into flashbacks of stuff you already remember like they did in LOTR

Drag for an extra half hour and support the plotline is a lot better than skipping out on important plotlines. You can like a movie and not like a few scenes of it...but if you're missing believability, you can dislike the entire movie. If Lucas makes us leave thinking that Anakin just decided randomly to turn to the dark side, it'll be ridiculous. But on the other hand if we have a few scenes that help support that, then it'll be worth sitting through. There is enough action still there to satisfy any idiot that can't get through a non-shoot'em up thing.
