a cin3matic topic ive rarely covered lately seems to be star wars. with all the coverage the matrix and lord of the rings gets these days, star wars seems to have been thrown into the backseat (along with parking tickets, gym clothes, and happy meal toys). i suppose im in the vast majority of the population who thinks lucas has a pole up his ass and is smashing the franchise into a wall…repeatedly. theres just something about his crappy dialogue and stilted direction that kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth. like stale mcdonalds fries and that waxy layer of shiz it leaves on your tongue. awful…blech. anyway, information regarding episode iii (or trois, if you’re french) has slowly trickled out little by little over the course of the production, and its just now that more detailed accounts of the movie have emerged. amongst them are details of anakin’s ass-kicking at the hands of obi-wan, how the jedi council gets their butts kicked all over the place, and new villains that come up. amongst them is some guy named grevious (it looks just like the word grievous…lucas you clever dude, you), possibly another guy named durge, and the one im banking on to kick the most ass…asajj ventress. the latter one, ventress, was first seen as a conceptual drawing for episode ii: attack of hayden christensen’s rat tail. before count doodu took precedence as the new villain, one of the sketches conceptual artist dermot power drew was of a pale and bald female sith sporting double curved-hilt sabers. she was eventually dropped in favor of saruman, but they brought her back as a character in the clone wars animated mini-series, and (presumably) episode iii. hopefully all the speculations are true and she’ll make an appearance in the movie (currently none of the villains mentioned above are listed on imdb).
like everybody else who shat on the newest star wars movies…ill still be there opening day to watch the movie. lucas promises it will be “the darkest episode yet.” woooo…lucas, you spinster of eloquent descriptions. im sold. maybe he’ll still fuck it up…at least there’ll be light saber fights to enjoy.
