I'm looking forward to it and am I the only one who prefers Return Of The Jedi to Empire Strikes Back? Yes, probably. My mum's friend who's a manager of singer people WAS going to get me tickets to the premier, but sadly that is not be anymore. Oh well... Oh and is Yoda fighting again? If he is, well...the novelty would've worn off. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) The movie looks pretty good though!

OK, besides the Ewoks, I loved the great big Wookiee. Chewie is the best. And I am looking forward to seeing the Wookiees' homeworld like Phil. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Hey, everybody, don't forget Star Wars, May 19. ;D Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Quite frankly, I think Lucas DID make a mistake (even though I liked the Ewoks) in not doing the Wookiee homeworld in the sixth episode. Of course, he just might not have had the special effects capability at that time.
I don't know how the Ewoks concept was born (anybody know here?) but I'll bet it had something with wanting to do something like the Wookiee homeworld at first but then having to do something else better suited for their budget.

According to Lucas, he wanted to use a primitive civilization, but the Wookies had been associated with technology thanks to Chewbacca portrayal, so he created the Ewoks.

ROTJ is my favourite as well.
A close friend of mine saw it in the crew screening on the weekend. He says its spectacular.

Good to hear, Craig. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) The die has been cast for me now, either way. I already advance ordered my tickets, to beat the usual Star Wars rush. So I guess we'll see what kind of note Lucas completes the saga on. I was partial to Jedi when I was younger, but I grew to love Empire more later on. I guess my tastes changed as my sensibilities did. Later this week, I expect I'll go back and watch all my Star Wars DVDs before I go and see Episode 3. Which is pretty much everything but Episode 1. It'll be good to have the saga fresh in my mind. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

ESB has always been my favourite. It's the absolute antithesis of the normal trilogy, where the start and finish are usually the high points with the middle dropping off a little as it is mainly 'bridge' material. Just about all the really good character building stuff happens in ESB, and all of the shocking revelations. ROTJ is two films - one really good one with Luke & Vader, and one really stupid one with the blasted teddy bears. The 'Battle Of Endor' is, sadly, the precursor of the even more ridiculous battle in Ep1 where not a single Gungan gets killed by the robot army. ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png)

Not a really great Ewok fan either, must admit. That said, I don't actively hate them. They're too ridiculous for me to hate. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Now me, I save all my ammo for Gungans. Especially Jar Jar. ;D My Jedi watching nowadays amounts to the Luke/Vader/Emperor story, the Jabba intro, and the space battle. The whole ground battle never did much of anything for me. This is the one of the things I love most about having my Star Wars DVD boxed set. Thanks to the magic of DVD, I can easily skip over the Ewoks with a touch of a button. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) And yes, that Episode 1 battle scene was a joke. But then, that movie was a waste except for the pod race and the duel with Darth Maul...

A bit off topic I know, but I really loved the parady of ESB used in Toy Story 2. Tsel ;D

David Letterman was fun tonight - they had the whole Star Wars costumed cast come out to do the Top 10.

Guess I'll find out how good this is in a few hours. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) If nothing else, I'm hoping for good lightsaber duels. I really want the saga to finish on a high note. Of course, Palpatine frying Jar Jar with Force Lightning would be an added bonus. ;D
