Oh wait, was that a compliment?

Damn skippy! You da man Lance! thumbsup

Hooray for compliments!

lance windu is a dumbass. jkjk

Ok now, back to topic.

On the Star Wars Website when you click "The Movies" you get a link to each movie, and each one has a picture in it. Episode III STILL has a picture of George Lucas and some other guy. What the hell?

The other guy is the producer, Rick McCallum, They'll probably change it come May 19th..

I thought this was the Master Windu appreciation thread?


seriously though I would have thought that link image would have changed by now

I honestly don't care, can't be much we haven't seen already, they probably forgot about that anyway.

Christensen Wants to Escape Darth's Shadow
Tuesday April 12 2:52 PM ET

Hayden Christensen isn't worried he'll get typecast as Darth Vader the way the villain's two kids did. Christensen figures times have changed since the original "Star Wars" trilogy, which hampered the careers of Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher because they were so associated with the roles of Darth's children, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.

"I haven't had that problem so far," said Christensen. Since being cast as since he was cast as Anakin Skywalker, the future Vader, he has starred in two smaller character pieces, "Life as a House" and "Shattered Glass," and in an upcoming adaptation of Boccaccio's "The Decameron."

"I think it's a little dated, to be honest, the whole typecast thing," Christensen recently told The Associated Press. "I think 20 years ago, 30 years ago, there was only one blockbuster that came out every few years, and so audiences got such a strong association with the actor and the role in the film. Now, there's four or five a summer."


Christensen was plucked from relative obscurity by George Lucas to star as the teenage Anakin in "Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones."

With "Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith," debuting May 19, Lucas brings the Skywalker saga full circle as Anakin takes the final steps to the dark side and puts on the black Vader suit fans fondly recall from the first trilogy.

While he believes he can avoid becoming typecast, Christensen expects Darth Vader always will be the role for which audiences will best remember him.

"Obviously, it's a very iconic role, so I think inevitably that will always be the strongest association," Christensen said. "I'm happy about that, to sort of always be remembered as Darth. That's what people come up to me and shake my hand for. That's cool."

Ooops...my bad...I just figured that everyone would overlook it if it wasn't it's own thread. I know I come here and check for new threads kind of like headlines. Oh well. If a mod wants to merge it they can.

Just wishful thinking on Sam's part.

eh....he said IF George chooses to do so. The only thing that has me thinking is "alot bloodier.'' i wonder how that will play into it.

Well...what's interesting to me is that he says it almost as if he and George had discussed it. But it is probably in the same manner that George mentioned to Mark Hamill the idea of doing 7,8,9 back around the time of ROTJ.

no secrets there

"Ian McDiarmid summary

Q: How did Ian get the role in a Star Wars movie, and how did
it all begin for him?
A: Ian got a call from his agent, and said that a car was
coming for him to pick him up to see George Lucas and Richard
Marquand during their lunch break while they were filming ROTJ.
They talked, but Star Wars didn't even come up in the
conversation.

When Ian got home from lunch, he got a call from his agent,
telling him he got the part of the emperor of the universe, and
of course, he accepted the part. Ian's says on hearing the
title of the part, "Oh, we'll be doing it then. (laughs)"

The casting director for Star Wars had recently seen Ian in a
play playing a very old man. (So that's how he assumes Lucas
heard about him).

At the time, Ian hadn't seen Empire Strikes Back, so he didn't
know exactly what he had gotten himself into.

He endured makeup tests about three weeks before filming.

The first scene he filmed was Palpatine coming off the Imperial
Shuttle. He did about two takes and we see the final result in
the movie.

Q: Describe the back-story of Palpatine
A: The only thing he knew was that he was very old, he ran the
universe, and Darth Vader worked for him.

He character came from the face. And from the face, emerged the
voice. Ian had no idea that his voice may or may not be used
for the final film. He was given the voice of the Emperor from
ESB, and was told to try to match it, or make it close.

George told Ian that he liked the voice, and told him to work on
it.

Q: Ian had no idea that he'd be returning to play a part in the
prequels, how did he feel about that?
A: During "Jedi" there was a rumor that Lucas had 9 films in
his head. Ian never thought "in a million years" that he would
be part of the early story about Darth Vader. He figured they
would just get a younger actor.

He got word years later (20 years) that Lucas was going to do
the prequels. So they met in London and they had a drink; Ian
orders a water, and George says to Ian, "Do you know anybody
that wants to play an Emperor?". Ian says, "Funny you should
say that." And George says, "Ok, you can give the water back."

Lucas told him about two people that might merge into one. It
was mostly a story about how a senator became an emperor.

The only reason it happened this way was because Ian was the
right age for the first prequel. The wonderful paradox -
"playing myself when young at my own age". He said we'll found
out that the Emperor is 120 or 110, (obviously referring to in
ROTS that we'll find out how old the Emperor is, and then tack
on the number of years to equal the age of 120 or 110 in ROTJ).

Q: Did his theater experience help him in any way?
A: Everything helps especially when you get older. He's not
sure if his experience has impacted his Star Wars performance.
He has played villains before, so he had ease with his role in
Star Wars.

Q: How did his fellow theater peers react to his involvement
with Star Wars?
A: They were extremely jealous.

He goes on to say that since then he's been very busy with other
things, he had retired from theater and put all his energy in
the last prequel, which made sense since he is a big part of the
third one.

He spends three months in Sydney, which he said was wonderful.
It was a thicker script, and he finally gets to publicly come
out with his character that has been hidden for so long, while
at the same time corrupting a young Jedi.

Q: What did Ian think the connection of Palpatine and Sidious
was, and how should the audience react to them?
A: He says the audience will react the way they react, and he's
not out to manipulate them.

He didn't know they were connected until he received the script.
He was on a need to know basis, and Lucas never told him. Liam
Neeson ask Ian, "Why didn't you tell me you were playing Darth
Sidious as well?" And Ian said, "I really didn't know 'til the
last minute and I didn't want to spread it about."

Q: What was Ian's reaction to wielding a lightsaber and
actually fighting?
A: He was furious to see that Chris Lee got to use the
lightning. He thought it was his prerogative. He was surprised
that he had two fights. His character was supposed to be the
fastest swordsman in the universe. He wondered how they would
accomplish this and he was given a stunt double/master
swordsman to do most of the fighting, but Ian was there for the
close-ups and had his do what fighting he could because Lucas
wanted the actor in there as much as possible. Ian said he saw
a bit of the finished product of him fighting, and he's
convinced.

Q: Describe the physical aspects of his character role in ROTS
A: Ian was relieved that he had some physical things to do and
that Palpatine wasn't just an intellectual. He was surprised that
he was involved in the big action sequence in the beginning of
the film. Ian comments, "Everything in the film is practically
my plot." and that he really don't need to be rescued. But, all
in all, he did his enjoy his experience and loved sliding down
chutes at various speeds bumping into Hayden and Ewan, and
laughing with them off camera.

Q: How did the events in ROTS effect his relationship with
Hayden?
A: Because of Palpatine's seduction of Anakin, they had a close
relationship since they shared each other's moments on screen.
The dialogue scenes between them were done at the same pace of
the fighting. The head stuff was just as important and
physical, as the physical elements were during a fight.

Q: What is Ian's opinion on who's to blame for Anakin's fall?
A: "It's a fall of a tragic hero." He falls because of his fatal
flaw. Part of what makes Anakin who his is, is his character
flaw. His flaw can be attributed by what happens to his mother,
and the absence of a father figure in his life. This can be
seen in Jake's performance in first movie and Hayden's
performance in AOTC. It really isn't straight forward or
obvious for the audience because it's not really supposed to be.

Ian said that a number of people didn't understand what was
going on because they were looking for "Luke 2." But Anakin
isn't Luke 2, he's Anakin 1. Coupled with the tragedies of his
life; Anakin's nature is his need for power. Palpatine sees
this and exploits it. Anakin could go one way of the other, but
he goes towards the dark. Ian says that it could have gone the
other way, the way of the light, but he doesn't and that's not
Palpatine's fault.

Q: What went wrong in ROTJ?
A: Ian speculated that maybe he wasn't really dead, but Lucas
said, "Yeah he's dead."

Ian figured he would have died anyway, since he was very old,
and Vader was old too, so he needed Luke, he need fresh blood,
but it doesn't work out for Palpatine.

Luke's refusal to Palpatine, coupled with Darth Vader's actions
lead to the end of the Emperor.

Q: What's the secret to Star Wars's long success?
A: Star Wars is a great myth. And myths last forever because
of their interpretation and re-interpretation. It's a myth for the
20th/21st century. Generations to come will want to see this
film because it's a movie about generations, fathers and sons,
strengths and difficulties of those relationships, and using
good things we have to make things better and controlling the bad
things that happen as not to make things worse.

---

It's a great interview, because they just let Ian speak. Most of the interviews today, the interviewer grabs onto something the interviewee says, and takes him onto a different tangent. They were good questions and Ian answered them to the best of the ability with personal experience, facts, humor and his love and appreciation for Star Wars and all those that were involved.

This summary does not do justice to Ian at all. If you get the chance, I highly recommend that you actually sitting down, listen and watch Ian speak. It is quite wonderful and enjoyable. "

does anyone know when the nascar crap is going to come on today? i live in chicago.

A New Hope comes on FOX today, maybe they will show some episode III footage, heck I'll watch it just to see an episode III tv spot.

Sorry if this is old news

From iesb.net -

Lucas referred to Clone Wars as a pilot. He confirmed that the animated series will continue as a 3D animated half hour version and will be a regular TV series.

Also, he is working on a live action series that spins off from the films that doesn't incude the main characters but is about characters that we already know.

He plans to begin filming in a year. He wants to get all the scripts written for the first season all at once and then go out and shoot them.

Lucas will get it started, hire all the showrunners and then back away from it.

Following this format, there will be multiple directors, multiple writers so we are in for a ride! The future of Star Wars looks bright.

pm me if u want links. i have ALL of them!

they are showing episode 3 game and movie stuff during the nascar race.

What time? And what channel

Ian is a great actor. I wish he would consider more movie roles, but if theater is your calling, then do it.

pm me a link please

yea i tried but for some reason it didnt work..sorry

Except for the main one with the duel I think they all suck. Especially the one with the terrible pic of the emperor.

Articles are great though, thanx man.

I'm getting f$%^ing sick of all these damn generalizations that Star Wars fans don't like the prequels. have they been on these boards? there are plenty of people on here that love them as much of the old movies, some even think they're better. And when ROTS comes out, and the public finally gets why I and II were what they were and the reasons behind these alleged "flaws". The only reason the public thinks they're flaws is because the public wants to see Vader on a killing spree, and that's not the point of the movies. I'm just so goddamn sick of reading these articles where they always start with "this time Lucas gets it right". Its so irritating, he got them right in I and II also, the general public is just to dumb to understand that it isn't finished till III comes out. So how can they know they're mistakes when they don't even know how it ends? they think they know, they've come up with these things in their heads and imaginations, and are pissed when the reality doesn't match it. Its just so irritating when people can't see past what they want and understand WHY something, especially a film, is the way it is.

Wow they put next to no effort into these they look godawful

I just posted the complete Time magazine review in the
thread "Pre-May 19th EP3 reviews(Loaded with Spoilers)"

So did anyone besides me catch Hayden and Nick on GMA this morning? Cool interview and then they played around with stunt sabers. Then they did the unthinkable and got some TOTAL FREAK to duel with them. No wonder we get labeled as geeks.

I saw that this morning also. It was awesome. I guess they had the NY premiere last night cause Hayden siad he saw the film for the first time. I really liked the interview, and the little clip thery kept playing over and over again of Anakin snd Obi-wan fighting on top of the metal pipes on Mustafar. I also believe Hayden is going to be on Regis and Kelly tomorrow morning.

Regis tomorrow, need to remember that. Does anyone remember what day Hayden is on Leno so I can set my recorder?

Hayden will be on Leno this Friday, and also I was reading over at TFn that Hayden is going to be on TRL today in a couple of hours.

Anybody watching TRL right now, they have Hayden on, and they showed a clip from the Obi-wan Anakin duel. We have all seen it before, where they are in the Mustafar control room swinging their lightsabers fast and then they try to force push each other. Well they showed the clip a little longer, and it was awesome. Both Anakin and Obi-wan fly backwards after doing force push at the same time. Also they said the yare going to have a specail TRL Star Wars edition next week on May 13th, from Skywalker Ranch.

Yes that force push was thumbsup

Ok Im uploading that clip of the duel from TRL. Stand by!
