I finally had a chance to see the film!


And meanwhile, J-Hulk, I finally had a chance to see GODZILLA FINAL WARS on the big screen in NYC last week! But I guess that's a topic for another thread...?


A fair trade (maybe)! Big Smile [:D]

Well, it'd probably be only the two of us who have seen GFW starting such a thread, but who knows?
Hey, is GFW in general release over there?

I think that is just the big difference with the orriginal SW movies. I the orriginal ones we got to see for the very first time OLD spaceships in SF, used, beaten, falling a part (I believe the last one is even a quote from one of those movies), In the new episodes they give us shiny CGI ships that look even more modern then the old ones, which are supposed to be newer.


I agree 100%. I don't mind seeing some new and/or alternate designs but the x wings and y-wings were all "old" fighters. Any fighter designs are good for at two decades. Besides in space the shape of the ship isn't as important as the weapons, engines/manuverability and targeting systems. I can't beleive we didn't see at least one of these fighters. We can only assume that mabe they came along soom after this movie ended.
(BTW i love the Godzilla too. and i am wayyyyy behind. i still havent seen Godzilla vs the newest Mechagozilla and so far he's already fought him twice and I haven't seen teh first batttle! These flix don't make it to the big screen down here in tje Southern U.S.)

What order would you guys watch the movies in?
I have an 8 yr. old nephew & a 6 yr. old niece who are chomping at the bit to watch Star Wars.
I had them over a few weeks back & we watched A New Hope. I'm leaning towards finishing the original trilogy first because I find them to be better made, but watching episodes 1-3 first might make more sense to little kids.

IMHO, have your young Jedis watch 1-3 first. They're the new, popular thing and what kids are talking about at recess. We all know 4-6 are the best, but letting them see the current version first won't necessarily lead them to the Dark Side.

WE are the true Star Wars Generation.

THAT is a tough question. I am kinda partial to starting with A New Hope so that the action will escalate...then again...

No, just in various Asian film festivals, Japanese sf festivals, etc... I think www.henshinonline.com has the complete scorecard.

OFF TOPIC BUT THE HENSHIN SITE IS SWEET!
thanks guys for posting it. Is there a site with an encyclopedia of godzilla monters? I found one a couple years back but can't remember the site.
Anyway i would welcome a star wars series...

I agree there is no indication that they would pick up armor modeling by watchin 1-3 first. Wink [;)]

Sorry, just couldn't help myself.

Anyway something completely different now, who hasn't noticed that ET is in episonde I ??? I liked that split second scene, great wink to times long passed.

These days there are quite a few sites with related info. I think www.tohokingdom.com is a great site... they have just about anything you could want to know about there.

I think we need to break out of this thread though - we are really getting off topic now! Let's start a new thread and follow up there...
