Jeez, I'm not looking forward to nearly 3 years of hype and rumors. Is that release date for real?

Is anybody waiting in line, yet?

Sign of the Apocalypse #56:
The possibility that somebody could right now be waiting in line for Episode 2 with a portable wireless unit and regularly update his Weblog...

Ah... finally back to the euphoria of anticipation. It'll be such a bummer when the movie finally comes out and disappoints everyone. Fortunately, we'll have another three years afterwards to wait for Episode III.

Please let it have more plot and depth of character... I mean, I love pod races as much as the next gal, but pleeeeease oh please oh please don't let this one suck.

Oh and please bring Qui -Gon Jinn back from the dead. Mmmmmm... Liam Neeson...

If they have Jar-jar again I'll go nuts.
Qui is dead sadly...it was nice having an Irish jedi, but I don't think there'll be another :-)

Qui-Gon should come back as a ghost, and Jar Jar should be fed to that thing in the pit back on Tatooine.

DiCaprio as Anakin, anyone? Considering his turn in "The Basketball Diaries", and "The Man in the Iron Mask", next to the guy who plays "Spike" on Buffy, he seems pretty good for the job.

I read somewhere the other day that Jar-Jar is definitely in the next Star Wars. If George Lucas hasn't listned to the public on that, whats the betting he won't be listning to us about having plot, depth etc.
