No, the Mace/Yoda gunship scene purportedly comes immediately after the space battle/flagship crash...they're travelling to and from the crashsite, and escort the two Jedi back to Palpatine's office.

Yoda then journeys to Kashyyyk alone; Mace has to stay on Coruscant for the final Palpy-showdown sequence.

At what point does Obi-Wan find out about the marriage?

Does Anakin actually confide with him - either before Revenge of the Sith, or prior to their separation in the film?

Does Obi-Wan find out during this scene with Padme?

And if he didn't know about the marriage before this scene, why would he expect Padme to know what's going on in the first place?


But what I really need to know is what exactly Anakin told Padme, and how it was worded.
Obi-Wan already knows about their relationship -- and quite probably their marriage itself -- going into the film; in the novel Dark Rendezvous, he pointedly probes Anakin with some...awkward...questions regarding his feelings towards Jedi "attachments" and Amidala, and now in the current SW: Obsession comic series, he catches the two virtually en flagrante delicto when he arrives on Naboo, tracking down the on-leave Skywalker. (This story is set around five months before the film.)

He's one sharp cookie, most days. So he knows.

From what I recall hearing, there's a scene in the movie on Naboo where Amidala lays it ALL out on the table for Kenobi (Pablo and/or Rick McCallum referring to it as "The Scene That Explains It All"), so by then it should only be a final confirmation of what he already knows to be the truth. However, by that point, the Jedi Purge will already be underway, too late to do him much good.

Nitpicking

I'm still very geared up about this film. What I hope is that George went back to the old style of filmmaking and actually had actors together in each shot. A synergy is born amongst actors that actually 'act' together. There's a reason why it's called 'movie magic.'

I think part of the lack of connection from fans to these characters in the PT is that there is nothing to connect to. The performances are comped in, people aren't there, magic isn't born, it's manipulated. I love the PT because they are great fun to look at but that's it. I know this is stuff everyone's talked about over and over but that shot of Mace & Co, it's so sterile, it just seems constructed as opposed to just filmed.

I know, I'm being a nitpicking dickweed. Something just rubbed me the wrong way.

Seems more and more like this is THE prequel. The other two films were just padding. Necessary backstory.

"I love the PT because they are great fun to look at but that's it.'
And that is not enough to make a good movie. If one thing sends drives me crazy about a lot of the fanboys, it's the way if you give them enough eye candy they don't seem to care about such minor things as writing, acting, plot, etc. And a lot of studios thereby think these things are not important, and you have films where they have spent a Hundred Million dollars on the Effects, and about a Hundred bucks on the script. This is why we have so many crappy genre films nowdays.
I really hope you are right that Lucas has seen the light, J.M., but I am still skeptical after the first two prequels. TPM was crap, AOTC was somewhat better , and the last hour was the first time in the prequels that I felt like it was a real "Star Wars" film, but AOTC was a long ways from being as good as any of the films in the first trilogy, and to work ROTS is going to have to at least at the ROTJ level, and to be the film it should be it needs to be at the ESB level, and I have a real skepticism that even he wants to, Lucas is capable of going back to what he once was.

If you ask me, this movie is the only thing necessary. Lucas could have explained the last two movies in the opening credits crawl. Thats how lame they were.

That's definitely a neat photo but Palpatine's expression seems to be more of good cheer, as if he's holding up a drink for a toast ("Gentlemen! To evil!"). Someone with the skill should replace the lightsabre with a martini glass or champagne bottle. It would make a good New Years card.

yeah, so

Why would you stop masturbating if it felt good? Fucking George Lucas makes these films and EVERYONE he knows praises him, jacks him off and say "yes sir, no sir, anything for you sir." It's like you have a pussy that just stays open for whenever you are in the mood [or in some cases an ass hole]. Why wouldn't you make unneccessary prequels if you had that available?

When you compare the pics of Sidious, none of them are the same. I think it's because they had to show him in different stages. If you look at the Spoileriffic pics from 2 days ago, compare them to the trailer shot we got, and then the pics the first post in this thread, it seems like there were seveal stages of masks made for the "transformation." Kind of like how a 1960's Werewolf film would have been shot. It might only take 10 seconds, but they had to use different masks for each shot.

I could be wrong, but thats what I get from it. Either that or they had to make different masks for different lighting.

I remember someone asking awhile ago if anyone could think of a point in the story that Lucas could really mess the entire movie up with (ala Riding love cows on Naboo).

I couldn't really think of any- then I saw that pic of Padme on the table.

Could Lucas give us CG Luke and Leia babies? I mean it sounds ridiculous but how come we haven't heard any reports of what kids were used? I mean don't you think it's a big deal who these infants are that are going to be portraying two of the greatest characters in cinema history?

A little fear has creeped into my mind.

New Hardcopy report...

http://www.millenniumfalcon.com/

Quote:
EPISODE III HARDCOPY: And Confront Him You Will


"You're feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side." - Emperor Palpatine, Return of the Jedi.

With Obi-Wan hidden aboard Senator Amidala's Naboo Skiff, and on his way to the secret location of his former student, Anakin SKywalker, Yoda makes his way to the Galactic Senate - now the Imperial Senate where the Emperor resides.

Yoda walks down a long hallway that leads to the entrance of a room called the "Holding Office of the Supreme Chancellor." Two Imperial Guards block the room. As Yoda approaches lightning shoots from the hands of the Emperor. Yoda makes a subtle gesture and deflects the lightning; shocking the Imperial Guards into unconciousness.

Yoda removes his lightsaber and the Great Battle begins. With speed and veracity it moves closer to the huge Chancellor's Pod that occupies the middle of the room until the Jedi and the Sith are upon its great foundations. Suddenly, the pod begins to rise as the two combatants battle it out...

Meanwhile, on the volcanic planet of Mustafar, the Naboo Skiff lands.
So the Yoda/Sidious clash will probably be over before "The Duel" - which means there shouldn't be any crosscutting.

I think the audience is gonna be scared for the little guy facing this force of aggression-->


Yoda is gonna get his ass whipped - Sidious has to believe the green guy bit it. We'll also understand why Yoda never faced him again. The chosen one's offspring is their only hope after Revenge Of The Sith.

For those, that didn't see, the JC was a mess of small tidbits from Ternian aka Motee.

We learned that Padme doesn't know that Anakin dies in the duel. This tidbit seemed to be directly tied to her last line in the movie, which is very sad according to Mottee. The line is straight out of the OT.

My guess:

"Tell Anakin that there is another..." and then she dies.

OK, i think the padme/gyno room shot is fake, but i do think the birth of the twin's/death of padme scene could definitely slip Mr Lucas up.
then again, with this movie, almost every event is either very dramatic or, at the very least, incredibly important to us fanboys - any failings in the actualisations of these scenes wuld be forgiven because they are things all us fanboys have been waiting to see and have so much invested in.
If Chewbacca gets any comic relief moments - that could very paiful to watch too.

And just because it's New Year's, we get even more spoilers! This time it's MF's look at the lead-in with Padme/Anakin/Obi-Wan to the duel itself.

http://www.millenniumfalcon.com/phpb...ic.php?p=43677

That's a helluva thing. Did notice some of Obi-Wan/Padme's dialogue wasn't there, as there were moments when Anakin was responding to...well, nothing. But that's ok, gives me somethin' to look forward to until the script leaks.

That's some good shit right there. I'm really lookin' forward to that scene.

About the latest spoiler....


Quote:
Lucas: The problem that Anakin has in this whole thing is that he has a hard time letting go of things. As he sought more and more power to try to change people's fates so that they're the way he wants them, that greed goes from trying to save the one you love, to realizing you can control the universe.
Anakin is power mad - plain and simple. He is completely demented in his perceptions once we get to Mustafar. He's gone from wanting to save Padme/child, to being all about power. The fact that he attempts to make himself believe it is still about his wife ("Join me and together we can rule the universe as husband and wife") is a storytelling masterstroke by Lucas.

As I said in an earlier thread:

Quote:
What Lucas is saying is that while Anakin's greed started off more benign (although still unhealthy), it led to gargantuan corruption.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.


Anakin's sensitivity and fear of losing things will make him vulnerable to entering the realm of the darkside. His intentions are not clearly evil at first, but the tragedy is that once he's entered or tasted that enticing fruit, the corruption will take him over. It will be too late.

Consume you, it will

It's greedy to make a pact with evil to protect your possessions. Anakin thinks he's doing it out of love and compassion, but it's really selfishness. And the price he pays is losing everything he was trying to protect in the first place.

Huzzah!

Spoileriffic posted this as MF.com Looks like we won't be getting any more cool stuff from him thanks to you TFN. Good work TFN!

Quote:
You guys may have noticed I've been a little absent lately despite all these spoiler images that suddenly showed up. This is partially because I've been busy and not online as much, and partly because I've been trying to get a handle on what's been going on. Well, now I have gotten to the bottom of it and I'd like to enlighten you all. I encourage you to take the time to read through my rather prodigious post.

Some time ago, I decided I wanted to take the risk and drop a spoiler image on the web to get some hype up for Ep3, since there was nothing going on since LFL has cracked down on TFN about posting images. I began a correspondance with Josh Griffin from TFN, who was very excited that I was sharing this image but explained that he could not post it for fear of legal action from LFL.

So, taking matters into my own hands, I donned the alias "Spoileriffic" and posted the image on TFN. (this is the first bootleg-looking image from the Dooku duel)

I noticed that within minutes a site I had never heard of, Millenniumfalcon.com, had the balls to actually get the image hosted anonymously and post image links to it, even on the front page. I followed the exceedingly positive fan reaction to the image on each forum. Good times. The hype was back. I did this another time or two, with similar results.

All the while, I had been chatting with Josh Griffin, who seemed to be a cool guy and I was discussing the film freely and over time shared a considerable number of images from the film with him. Each time, of course, he promised me that he wouldn't show anybody else unless I gave him explicit permission.

Well, you can imagine my suprise when I recently logged on to see shitloads of my images plastered all over the 3SA and MF. Images posted by these little retards like Gabe, Hades2021, and Helmet, who don't even bother to be subtle about where they got them, behave like idiots, and blow the whole spoiler wad in as few posts as possible. Fan-fucking-tastic.

I won't get into the details of how, but I proceeded to verify the fact that my alleged buddy Josh Griffin was indeed responsible for handing out left and right these images I shared with him in confidence. He practically gave permission to post them, no less. Naturally, he denied it when I asked him about it.

Well, here's the point, boys and girls. When somebody breaks a promise of confidentiality and shares some of your best shit with fucking jerk-offs who immediately turn around and post it all online, you tend to get a little pissed off.

So, 2 things:

1. No more images. You can all thank Josh Griffin and the little fucks who posted my shit that Josh gave them.

2. (and this one is directed mostly at Josh) If you all ever want me to even think about reconsidering posting new images, I'd better not see any more of my "confidential" images online.

Lemme break it down for you just a little more, Griffin: Stop sharing my shit.

fuck em'

Okay, TFN is a lousy piece of dog pile shit. Their redesign sucks ass and makes them look like a fucking Sears Catalog and they never really offered the fans ANYTHING. They are sanctioned by Lucas and work like this big fucking corporate entity. I remember I talked to one of their representatives [via phone] and it was like talking to a pre-recorded message.

They don't offer any exclusive images [licensed or stolen], it's just boring shit. Admittedly I realize that images released without permission and posted isn't legal but to me, that's just what you do. That's what having a fan website is all about. You post a pic for a while and then discard it before the film companies come after you.

They're all just pussies, and offer a half-assed website that boasts a flashy look but no substance [hmm that seems familiar].

On top of all of this, Josh Griffin was probably caught in one of the biggest fandom lies ever witnessed by an online community, namely, that he'd screened a version of Revenge of the Sith.

So, yeah, Fuck the force.net in their fucking tight wet assholes.

Do you know that Scott Chitwood had Damion's site shut DOWN over that image and they pursued defamation lawsuits against him for that?

Hell, apparently Chitwood, at one point, had a discussion with SOMEONE about suing ME for libel.

I also love the latest morality police shoutcasts from this whole thing "Well, he shoulda never gave em to anyone, then, so how can he complain!?!" it's like basically saying "Nobody should take any responsibility for their words or actions ever, and it's YOUR fault for being naive enough to trust in that. Dummy."

Which is very reassuring.

I wasn't passing judgement on Spoileriffic's morality. I love looking at spoiler and bootleg images, and I appreciate him leaking them. But the bottom line is Josh and TFN are not trustworthy. People have known for years what massive tools they are. He should have known better. Okay, so you got burned. Move on.

TFN is run by a bunch of assholes, no doubt about it, and every negative comment about them made by Spoileriffic and everyone in this thread is true. But you can't cry foul for their misuse of bootleg material you had no right to in the first place. You put it out there, it's out of your control.
