Re: Star Wars: Episode I: The 3D Menace

This Kids featurette video perfectly shows which audience Lucas has been aiming at for the last years. That's just sad, but it doesn't even shock me anymore.

I'll see it. I actually like the prequels, despite everything that's wrong with them. I agree with almost everything that's been said about them, I agree with everything that's been said in the Episode I DiF commentary, but I still like them, because... it's Star Wars.

I'm a young one here, I've discovered Star Wars with the prequels in 1999 - I was 8. When I watch the prequels, I don't watch movies as much as I enjoy being in the Star Wars universe. I've spent my adolescence being a SW fan (still am, but in a different way). Seeing the prequels that way prevents me from hating them. There may come a time when it stops - and I'll completely disconnect from Star Wars. But I don't wish that to happen anytime soon, because SW still is the universe I'm the most fond of.

So yeah, I'll see them. Because I love this universe, and because I just want to enjoy it on the big screen once again - although I don't care much for 3D.

And because I can't wait to see that awful Yoda puppet removed from Episode I. I'm not the kind of guys who think CGI is always better - but the Episode I Yoda is fucking terrible.

Yeah, the Blu ray has the CG Yoda, and he's an absolute dream. Looks amazing. I hope Lucas burns all copies of the original TPM Yoda puppet.

Re: Star Wars: Episode I: The 3D Menace

I just got back from a midnight showing and I gotta say, I was quite impressed with the 3D conversion. It's not in your face, instead opting for more of a 'window into the world' feel.

Only 16 more hours until I can judge for myself. Preview screenings have been encouraging.

Re: Star Wars: Episode I: The 3D Menace

If you're a fan of Episode I and 3D - you're gonna enjoy it. The 3D isn't so spectacular enough to post-convert (sorry...) somebody, but it is a nice little bonus.

Re: Star Wars: Episode I: The 3D Menace

It's worth it just to see that STAR WARS logo fly away from the screen in 3D.

Re: Star Wars: Episode I: The 3D Menace

Just saw it last night. 

Eddie's Tip of the Day:  If you do go see it, you will enjoy the experience far better if, after anytime a character asks a question (where are we going, why are you banished, what are midichlorians, et al.) you respond out loud for your friends to hear, "*sigh* I don't fuckin' know..."  Made the whole trip worthwhile to me.

Re: Star Wars: Episode I: The 3D Menace

We found the movie to be much more enjoyable when adding "That's what she said." after all of Anakin's lines.

The sad thing is that most of them worked.
