Put me down as another one who thinks The Fifth Element is a great movie.

Actually, when I heard "opera house" I thought not of that film but of the Godfather Part 3. Maybe Jar Jar will buy it in the scene. After all, he is the Sofia Coppola of Lucas' trilogy.

[Hannibal]

Great thinking...I can see it now...maybe while the soprano is going on, Jar Jar is being riddled with bullets outside the theatre on the steps...

Sorry to rain on your parade, dude, but Jar Jar is going to live. I remember reading this in one of the chat transcripts, last year, in an interview with some Lucasfilm suit - I can't quite remember who the person was.

Jar Jar living is one of the biggest movie injustices in all motion picture history. His character is competely unworkable, competely idiotic, stupid and without a doubt the WORST aspect of the PT. Yeah, I'm starting to cave into the rationale that he played a major role in ruining the PT. Given the fact that he's the only one who had the guts to vote Palpatine in (WTF? Isn't there any OTHER senator out of the tens of thousands out there who is capable of proposing?). I'll only say that for now, I'm not in the mood to give a rant about the whole turd head!

[Xombie]

Well, of course JarJat won't die. If he did, every showing of his death scene would be interrupted by a deafening round of snarky applause from the audience. Lucas knows this only to well and would never subject himself to that humiliation.

Thus, JarJar's screen immortality.

he looks like a big queen...







oh, i haven't seen a pic yet...
anyone got a link to an actual photo.

There is something in the whole film industry that just makes people crazy.

In general, there is a tendency among semi-famous and famous people to try to be someone else. A lot of people are not just content which what they are doing (something even half decently) and just have to go to try something elsse.

Look at Britney Spears... she did a film.... it was a flop.

Gillian Anderson tried to be a pop star... nobody wanted to listen to her songs...

I've heard published writers who wanted to be doctors, models wanting to be nurses and polititains just LONGING to have a quit life as farmers.

But above all else poeple desire to be IN THE MOVIES

Lucas including. After achieving fame like very few other directors now he wants his neck to be immortalised in a motion picture.

Why?
So the posterity would go ooooh, there is Peter Jackson/M. Night Shyalaman/George Lucas next to that guy whose name I can't remember....

Who wants to bet with me that a Super-special-special edition of the OT will have a Jar-Jar scene inserted in the Mos Eisley cantina.

It will be a "underpinning"

Why did I have this uncanny feeling that someone was going to say something like that?

[Michel Orla]

Cmon, he will manage to live through episode 3 so he make a cameo in those Supercrap Editions coming out in 2007. So the gushers can find all sorts of excuses why it's him who picks a fight with Luke at Mos Eisley instead of that Walrus thing, and by that time I hope we bashers have moved on so we don't even give it a second thought.

Yeah, that's going to happen in a few years time. I hope we've moved on by then, too, but something tells me that the next movie is going to make us rant and rave for a long, long time!

[Paladin]

Oh I'll do some ranting all right, but I don't think I'll be doing it for THAT long. I already stated my plan a million times over here and I'll stick to it. Besides, as much as I like ranting and criticizing Star Wars, it's strictly low priority and I can live without it. I just come here because I like the company.

[ernesttomlinson]

Am I the only one here that actually likes opera?

THE FIFTH ELEMENT was an insufferable film at times but the alien diva's rendition of the aria from "Lucia di Lammermoor" was one of the best elements (hah) of the movie.

[rangwe]

Lucas decides to have a cameo, what a surprise. I've always thought that directors putting themselves in their own films was a sign of prima donna hubris (see Peter Jackson; also, Hack), a grandiose inflation of one's contribution to the artistic process. The movie is self-reflection enough without foisting upon us the obvious "Exit" sign of the ride that forces us back to the now of this sucky reality.

But at this point, I'm expecting slapstick and camp for this "Dork"...I mean "Dark" film. I'm going in with the expectation of it being impossible to take seriously, and of mocking it openly with the MST3K Maneuver like I did with the "Dungeons and Dragons" movie, and no Chewbacca Defense from the lightsaber gang is going to save them from the mockery! Oh, to have a Spock costume and a Triumph hand puppet. I would feel like Conan, performing before the Gods for their amusement!

[Hannibal]

I realize you guys are just jokingly speculating, but Lucas has already made it a fact, see STAR WARS in 3-D thread. ALL SIX films will be RE-released once again. Not only will he fuck with them once again, they will be in 3-d!
