Lucas calls new 'Star Wars' titanic tearjerker
LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Director George Lucas had a message for fans as he previewed a glimpse of the final tale in the billion-dollar "Star Wars" film franchise: leave the lightsabers at home, but don't forget the tissues.

"It's not like the first one. It's more emotional," said the director of the upcoming space adventure "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith," which arrives in theaters May 19.

"I describe it as a 'Titanic' in space. It's a real tearjerker, and it will be received in a way that none of us can expect," he told theater owners at the ShoWest convention.

ShoWest is a major gathering of movie theater owners in the United States and a launch pad for Hollywood's summer movies.

Film studio 20th Century Fox teased a packed house here with the first six minutes of "Revenge of the Sith," marking the first time the scenes had been shown to audiences.

Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) wage a furious fight against their adversaries in a battle of deadly spaceships. In this episode, Skywalker becomes the notorious Darth Vader.

Lucas and the promotional clip did not divulge much about the "tearjerker" love story. But Senator Amidala (Natalie Portman), who married Skywalker in a secret ceremony witnessed in the last movie, plays a key role.

If Lucas's comparison to "Titanic" is to be believed, there must be heartbreak in "Revenge of the Sith" because 1997's tale of the doomed ocean liner stirred audiences with its tale of an ill-fated affair between characters played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.

Love can work wonders with movie audiences. "Titanic" is the highest-grossing movie of all time with more than $1.8 billion in worldwide ticket sales. In the No. 2 spot is "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" with $1.1 billion.

The "Star Wars" films are no box office losers, either, but there hasn't been much romance in them -- not yet, anyway.

The adventures began with 1977's "Star Wars" and have sold nearly $3.4 billion worth of tickets at global box offices.

Maybe, but definitely with much less of a third grade vibe.

I didn't mind attack of the clones aside from the attempted love script and the title sounding like a bad fifties sci fi flick but other then that you gotta give it up those fight scenes in the end of it with all the jedi were pretty flippin sweet. The first one wasn't great at all for something that was supposed to be the beginning to it all. The only cool part was the fight sequence in the end with obi wan qui gon and darth maul. But yeah jar jar better die a terrible death in this one.

A tearjerker? Yeah, probably. I know that I was bored to tears with the last one.

In the latest issue of Gameinformer magazine there is an interview with Jim Ward, president of LucasArts and vice president of marketing and distribution of Lucasfilm Ltd. When asked about future Star Wars game projects he says,
"We are taking the Star Wars brand into the television realm, both in animation and live action."

Is that proof enough?

It will probably be a cartoon, so it will appeal to Lucas' target audience.

I think that is the essence of what makes all of the Star Wars movies, the rest is just pap, fill in. It all boils down to those fight scenes.

I absolutely loved the fight scene between maul and Quigon and Obi. It was worth the whole movie.

The fight scene between Yoda and count Duku was a letdown, but still entertaining.

The fight scene between Dearth Vadar and Old Kenobi was what it was, and old man trying to inspire Luke by dying the same way his mentor of long ago died and inspired him.

The fight scene between immature Luke and his father was a man toying with a boy and could have wiped him away but couldn't because it was his son.

The fight scene between Luke and Dearth in the end was laying all on the line, let the force be damned.

Needless to say, I can't wait for the fight scene in this movie.

The rest of the story is so *****ing confusing it would take a 4 year degree in Gochief University just to figure it out.
