Well, that is why I started this thread. I fear they may not be too many. Theer is after all a story to be told and we know most of the story. Not the details but we do know all the main plot points. No questions (yet?) if Luke is really his son or anything. Maybe OB1 is?
apollo13? excuse me.....RALPH!!!!!!! *HUGS TOILET AND SHIVERS*

Good point. However, in the case of SW it's like watching Apollo 13 entirely except for the scenes where everything goes wrong. And then afterward, seeing the scenes where it goes wrong looses it impact.
It's kinda funny, a slight side track, but I've been flying a couple of times this last year (and I will be more), to Australia among others. And sometimes it's unclear when a movie starts, so it happens that you may miss the first 10 minutes or so. That happened to me with Panic Room and Identity. But when I saw the at a later time (either in the plane or on DVD) then it was like: allright, yeah, but I already got that from the rest of the movie. It's just a bit more specific, but it doesn't add anything really. So here I have a similar feeling.
It is funny. After seeing the first ten minutes of Panic Room at a later date I was wondering why all that explaining was necessary. It almost seems better without the first ten minutes.
So, even though I look forward tp EPIII, I have this fear of a slight disappointment.
c'mon, this is what we've all waited for. we all have certain expectations, somebody's gonna hate it, somebody's gonna love it. I & II were just prologue as far as I'm concerned, background GL had to give to show transition, build up tension, and inform the general public who doesn't read every book and comic that comes out (I know its not all canon, but at least we knew about the general history of the Jedi and the SW Universe and how it all should look). But now we know the background we need, the non hardcore fans are up to speed on the necessary history lessons they needed, and now we get to see the final product. The first REAL Star Wars film since ROTJ. THE fight of the century. Hopefully many questions of the OT answered. I am so hyped for this, the only way I think I wouldn't like it is if he just went overboard with plot twists and completely changed something really important. I think it would be kind of cool if it ended up Palpatine (the chancellor) is a clone of Sidious/Palpatine. It would make the Dark Empire comics better since we'll have seen in the movies how he clones himself and "jumps bodies" since the dark side destroys cellular tissue. But, somebody else will no doubt think thats dumb. I liked one and two, three will contain everything I was looking forward to seeing so I can't imagine not liking it.
First real SW film since ROTJ? Well, if you feel that way, I cannot understand why you don't share our concern. If you didn't feel the PT were up to standard, why do you possibly think EPIII isn't going to be similar to TPM and AOTC?
Because I think that I & II ARE great Star Wars films deep down (II much more so that I though), but it won't be visible to everyone until III comes out to bridge them. So III is the first real Star Wars film since it will look and feel the most like the OT, so you see, what I said is true, from a certain point of view.
Plus they'll feel more like star wars after we've watched them billions of times over the years, they just feel odd right now (at least to me) because its not what I grew up with. but they're just different. Different galaxy, problems, characters. But after everyone has time to really absorbed them (once they're all finished), I think we'll see how good they really are. Or at least understand why GL decided to pace them the way he did.
I agree with Hypernova and mephisto
There are always going to be people who wont like something that others think are fantastic...that's just the way it is. Everyone holds different expectations and their own views on what a SW film SHOULD be like. I try not to have too many expectations--I just want to enjoy the film (which will be HUGE!!)
mephisto is right--the PT are different to OT, not better, not worse, just different. There's nothing wrong with it being different.
Yes, I do. But then I did become a fan as a result of watching AOTC. It just seems that fans who love OT are so ready to disparage the PT. I guess we all entered the world of SW at different times and appreciate different qualities of all that is SW... or in my case a small part of SW so far.
