Catfish Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I am surprised there has not been a thread started about this yet. I assume most people are aware that the book came out this Tuesday (in the US). I would imagine most people here can read. And much thanks to R.A. Salvatore the book is quite easy to read, finished it in about 7 hours. So, is there need for people to dicuss this, or are all of you waiting for the movie. Much like the Obi Wan vs. Jango Fett topic below I am sure we all have some questions. Personally, I think Episode II is going to to kick some serious booty. The ending has a great twist and the insight into Anakin and Padme's relationship should really set things up for Episode III. So, have any of you read it, and what did you think????

DarkAgent Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Hmmm... always seems to go that way. The book first, then the movie. Lucas has always been a hyper secrecy Nazi (Hope I didn't offend anyone with that word - but you catch my drift). He has always kept high security on the scripts, sets, etc, etc and only releases small teasers about the films when he is ready to entice. Why he would allow the entire story to be released in book form before the movie premier is just plain old-fashioned strange. I may read the book later, but I'm going to see the movie before I do read it. DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrEEpaGe Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 i read the book (took me only 5 hours =P) and it was very good. i am very anxious to go to the movie theatre and see this film... episode ii: It's the economy, stupid! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.B.M.C. Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I got the book on Wednesday, got up to the part where Anakin and Padme get captured then finished the rest on Thursday. It's gonna rock, but with all the dumbass fuckin' bashers around LOOKING for faults it'll never be considered a great film. :rolleyes: BYE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demolisher Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I havent read it, but I really hope it's good. I feel so bad for episode 1 because few people, including me, liked it. I hope that the episode 1 haters aren't expecting 2 to suck. I'm really sure and really hope that episode 2 is gonna be such a great movie.

CupO'Coffee Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 i too hope that the film will be great. alas i haven't read the book yet, dunno if it's already available in good ol' germany personally, i think that episode 2 will be in a very difficult position, because the episode 1 haters will join the general star wars haters and create a negative atmosphere, spoiling most people and, above all, the press (i'm talking about the dumb TV press here ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrEEpaGe Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 actually episode 1 was a huge success financially wise, being 4th on the money list (geez that movie SUCKED heh) episode ii SHOULD surpass ep1 in sales and popularity, but it does face tough movie competition this summer...a LOT of competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
