I had a feeling tha was wha second one was about.
My prediction of the SW saga:
The second one, follows the empire using clonse (against galactic law) To gain power. "THE CLONE WAR BEGINS" Obi 1 and vadar fight blah blah blah, some love scene bringing luke and leah mother into it. A event (such as something involving anakins mother due to hints in PM) which drives him to the dark side. He tries to defeat the emporer cue new sith apprentice whom he kills and takes his place beside the emporer.
3rd episode- Obi 1 trying to escape empire and the dark side. Vadar killing all the jedis (inc. Samual jackson etc) Yoda escaping, Obi 1 getting luke and leah to safety. Basicly a dark ending like ESB but with a ray of hope with luke. Cool fight scene between obi and vadar should exist
-tha is how i see the next 2 episodes. They are also squeezing in han solo or his dad boba fett and more of jabba into it aswell. (tha is where i see him becoming the dark one known as vadar.)

just tosmack you down a bit, the empire didnt use clones a race called the spaarti did and they used the clones to wage war on the new republic.
and as for episode 3 end, its supposed to end with palpatines men dragging anakin/vader out of a volcano. earlier in episode 3 you see leah and luke as babies.
but rumor is that jealousy of amidala showing affection for obi wan is the trigger for anikans spiral into the darkside.

There's spoilers here, so if you don't want to know, don't read it
Anyways, most of this is from this months FHM:
The film will be more romantic and dramatic rather than action orientated - it'll obviously focus on Anakin and Padme's relationship.
However, the film also deals with the lead up to the clone war (which will be Ep3). The Rebellion are the bad guys this time, who break away from the Republic under the leadership of Ex-Jedi Knight Count Dooku. Palpatine proposes that clones should be used to quash the rebellion. The end of the movie will not be a happy one (perhaps akin to Empire Strikes Back?)
And here's various rumours:
The dark jedi's name is Darth Kimball who will battle Yoda(!) at the end. He will also feature in Ep3.
Jango Fett (Boba's father) will fight Obi Wan on a landing platform. Boba Fett will be in the Slave 1 ship. This scene apparantly features Matrix style martial arts.
There is a massive battle scene involving hundreds of Jedi and thousands of Droids. Mace Windu kills Jango Fett.
Count Dooku creates an army of clones from Jango's DNA - as payment, Jango receives a clone, a 12 year old version of himself called Boba.
The lightsabre duel at the end is Count Dooku Vs. Anakin. Dooku has a red and orange lightsabre, dubbed the 'flamesabre'.
That's all very interesting
Even though I was their captive, the Indians allowed me quite a bit of freedom. I could walk freely, make my own meals, and even hurl large rocks at their heads. It was only later that I discovered that they were not Indians at all but only dirty-clothes hampers.0 -

This film HAD R2D2 and C3PO in it (who, contrary to what you say, were not loathed by all, and nor was Yoda...), why did it need more semi-amusing moppets?</font>
I didnt say they were loathed by all. I said *most* adults, and *almost all* critics. And *LOVED* by kids.
Yoda received much of the same reception.
As for C3P0 and R2D2 being in Ep1....so what? They were in Eps 5 and 6 as well, which didnt prevent the introduction of Yoda and Ewoks.
My point was that each episode introduced a new "cutesy" or "quirky" character, and Jar Jar was nothing new.
The hammy acting for Ep1 (despite the cast) was, AFAIK, deliberate. They wanted a certain feel to the characters, part of which involved the whole crap acting.
I would agree that the script wasnt great, but I dont think any episode has had a good script.
As for the directing....thats a fair criticism....except that the usual argument is that Lucas cant direct at all, and that the only well-directed movie was the one he had the least to do with. I would agree that Ep1 is peobably the worst directed movie, but I'll come back to that.
My personal feeling is that when we watch the older movies, we consciously or subconciously make allowances for the fact that they are quite old. We ignore the black squares around the TIE-fighters moving thru space, the incredibly hammy acting, the dodgy direction (in places), the crap scripts, etc. etc. We also excuse the movie for not being in a "modern format" because it is not a modern movie.
Ep 1 is a modern movie, but is in the 20+ year old format. This is its pretty damning flaw for the modern audience, but it is true to what the movie was always meant to be.
We can not look at it and make these allowances for age and era. We know it was made with a silly budget and established actors, so we cannot forgive Mark Hamill-esque hammery. We know the SFX are state of the art by a top-notch SFX crew, so we will not settle for anything less then perfection (which was never gonna happen).
Ep 1 is a harder film to like. I just re-read through my post, and made sure of something....I never claimed it was a good film.
I shouldnt have hopped on Hobbes' post, but almost every single star wars discussion inevitably turns into bashing Ep1, but for what I feel are the wrong reasons.

p.s. LOL at describing your late teens as "quite late in life". Good one 0 -

ROTJ would have been so much better if the Ewoks hadn't replaced Wookiees (as it was originally). Its a bit ridiculous, a Legion
of the Empires most elite troops wiped out by 3 feet tall teddy bears armed with Sticks.
But.. 7 feet tall wookiees ambushing them and snapping thier necks.. that'd have been nice
(probably not the best thing for marketing, or for kids).
and....
The lightsaber Battle at the end of Episode One ... made up for all its inadequacies.

In Episode 2, you will find out that Boba Fett's dad, Jingo Fett, has an awfull lot to do with the story line... Seeing as they're probably using Jingo has the main clone creater. Boba Fett is only a small kid in Episode 2. The rest will probably play out like you can expect it... I hope to see allot of Mandalorian stuff involved in the next two episodes... Mandalorian's are probably the closet thing you can relate to as 'Ancient Romans'. So Mandalorian's rock.
