I just saw the latest Revenge of the Sith trailer. A coworker of mine has a Hyperspace membership and we sat down for 15 minutes on company time, watched it and critiqued it.
It raises my hopes that this will indeed be by far the best of the prequel trilogy. It was interesting in that there was no sign or mention of General Grievous. Plenty of eye-candy of course. I shuddered involuntarily when I saw a light sabre jump into Sidious' hand from up his sleeve. Wookiees are way cool. I wanna be one. There are going to be a LOT of Jedi dying in this one. I needs must gird myself for that.
Though doing almost my darndest to remain spoiler-free, I do know who ends up killing Mace. I wish that could be taken back. Very little else has been spoiled. Other than, you know, all the Jedi die, Padme dies after giving birth to Luke and Leia, Anakin gets his ass handed to him by Obi-Wan in what will be the greatest single combat the silver screen has ever seen. Basic stuff that everybody knows.
My only major criticism: I wish George had let somebody else write the dialogue. Some of what was just seen between Anakin and Palpatine was just a little too over the top. Could you have at least strived for subtlety?
Oh well. That's not too much to complain about. Nine weeks and six days to go...
Ah. Too late I see. Well, I tried.
On another note, you might want to post those interview question answers in several smaller blocks, you verbose guy, you.
