Do you think that the final installment will make people weep in the theater? It could be by Anikan's fall or just the finality of the saga, however, I expect to see / hear people weeping in the theater. I was never at a movie where people cried. My mother is a Star Trek fan who saw Star Trek 2 soon after its release and she said many people were crying when Spock died.

Anyone agree / disagree?

I've never been one to cry at the movies but I'm sure I will feel a multitude of emotions when I watch this and the journey is complete.

If they kill Natalie Portman, yes, I'd cry.

I cried at the Lord of The Rings films, each of them.

I cried at Episode II when I watched Hayden Christianson try to read Lucas's dialogue and sound genuine.

:lol:

I watched episode II last night, and it would've been so much better if he didn't try to sound like Vader(which I read was his excuse), and just act. He's like a fish out of water when he's in scenes with actors like McGregor, Jackson and McDiarmid. It's a shame. Let's hope he does better in Sith.

No, I won't be surprised if people cry. I don't think I will, but given my wife's recent track record with LOTR and The Passion, I'm pretty sure we'll be taking some tissues.

Speaking of The Passion, I saw it with a church group a day before it opened and half the theater was crying or just not saying a word.......movies can sometimes be really powerful, especially when you've been waiting so long.

I watched episode I last nite. Goddam Jar Jar. I'd kill that fucker. He's worse than C3PO and an Ewok combined.

I laughed loudly and inappropriately.

Good thing Lucas made him the means that allowed Palpatine to launch the war.

Since this thread has mixed religion and star wars together,...

the power to destroy a star system is insignificant compared to the church
