Im JC hat ein User ein paar Highlights aus dem Artikel herausgeschrieben. Im Grunde nichts neues...
I typed out these quotes from people -
From McCallum:
"This is the film, that everybody wanted to be the first and the second one to be. It explainshow everything in Episodes 4,5 and 6 was set up, the downward spiral of Anakin Skywalker and how he becomes Darth Vader"
"Two years before we started to make TPM, George said, 'I want you to be prepared - we are going to get killed.' We knew that we were in deep trouble. But the first two were setting up this film. Exposition gets boring. If you're a little kid you can get sucked in by the technology and kinetic nature of I and II, but if you're and adult you're sitting there going:' Oh my God! Help me!' But ROTS is the darker, more mature film that the hardcore fans have always wanted. It is closer to the spirit of ESB, which is many people's favourite."
From Ian McDiarmid:
On Hayden - "[I was impressed by Haydens] ability to suggest a complicated mind while presenting a less complicated surface. Vader is a great iconic evil figure, maybe the greatest of all screen villians. But his predicament in this film will be a little more understandable. He's more of a twisted soul, twisted by the poison I pour into his ear."
"Anakin has a need for power which Palpatine is quick to expolit, he doesnt want to go through the process of learning - and Palpatine can give it to him now."
Certainly for McDiarmid the templates are classical -
"Biblical, Shakesperian, Wagnerian, even"
But, while the optimistic Star Wars found success by jarring with the despondent, post-Watergate mood of the late 1970's, Episode 3 is, he believes, in tune with the state of Bush's America.
"George [Lucas that is] would never push this, and he would be mad to, but at this point in the saga, the republic becomes an Empire. I dont need to say any more than that."
On Fanboys -
(You will like this)
No other franchise has inspired as much internet-based worship, debate and frenzied nit-picking as Star Wars. Driven to delerium by the lengthy gaps between the films, the likes of Forcewielder5 and DarthShadowSpawn (!) debate such pressing issues as "Why Stormtroopers are NOT Clonetroopers" and "Do you wish Tarkin had a larger presence?" Until their mouse fingers bleed. Sites including Theforce.net, Supershadow.com (hehehehehe, I bet this becomes the axis of this thread) and quigon.org are going into meltdown as George Lucas puts the finishing touches to what he promises will be the last Star Wars film. More than 16 million messages had been posted on theforce.nets forums alone at the time of going to press, with thousands more being added every day.' Below are some of the topics getting the geeks (geeks?! happy )
I cant be bothered to type out all of this because there is too much and you fellas know the topics that get talked about here, in summary though -
-Maces death
-Sifo Dyas
-The Voice of Grievous
-The Tattoine shot filmed during AOTC
-The return of Qui Gon as a ghost ('That ignited speculation that Jinn would return in ghostly form in Ep 3, just as Alec Guinness did in ESB')
-Darth Tater
That is all I really want to type up, but there is more in the feature, some quotes from Hayden, but nothing there we havent heard before.
And there we have it!
No mention of DarthBlayne's 'Will we see a four legged creature speak in ROTS?' thread, sadly
