I thought it would be both cool and a bit sadistic to have a countdown running wire to wire this time. What better way to countdown to the last Star Wars movie than by counting the days in between them? I’ve chosen May 19th as a date to countdown to because it mirrors the date of EP2. I don’t mind if the whole countdown gets adjusted once we get the official release date. I just want to try to keep this alive the same way we were all able to keep JMK’s countdown alive. So here we go, the last long countdown....

Man that is a long way to go. I guess if this one survives it will be even longer than the last one. I think JMK started it with about 900 some days to go.

I think it was 894 days to be exact. I'd have to check though.

I read somewhere that it was to be released on the 25th, (the anniversary of ANH or something like that) so here is my little counter for that date, which can also be adjusted as the release date is made official.

We'll make it. It will go through its ups and downs, just like the Ep. II one, but we'll make it - no doubt about it.

This year would have been the 25th anniversary and they completely ignored the 25th of May. The 25th of May in 2005 is on a Wed. so that would seem appropriate. But I think the market and Lucasfilm will determine when it's released. The way the summer box office season has been starting earlier and earlier I think we'll see a release date that's earlier than later. But for nostalgia's sake I say we go with SW Fan's date. So tomorrow should be day 1103 to whoever posts it.

May 16th, 2002, 08:31:29 PM
I agree with your assessment and have placed the counter on the portal page to also run with a tentative release date of May 25th until we hear official word otherwise. :)

Yeah that is sad, the last, long wait. I don't want the wait to "go fast," hehe, it's fine by me if we stay between films for a long while :) I love Episode II and I'm sure it'll be great having 5 of the films available for home viewing not too long from now, hehe.

Though we as SW fans will have other great memories after Episode III, no doubt. Star Wars Classic Trilogy on DVD, for instance, the ultimate editions in theaters (been discussed and confirmed time and again). It will rule when all of the films return to theaters for one last HURRAH! :) If either of the last two prequels makes it fairly close to Titanic, who knows, could be a significant re-release for them all. It just depends how they do it, but even ANH will receive a large boost, especially if all of the OT is redone slightly, so that they change a few effects shots, maybe add a small thing or two here and there, as Lucas had talked about once. Completing his work, basically, so that he can lay it down and be satisfied with Star Wars. Finished. Finally.

Its the signature scream of the Star Wars movies (and tons of other movies too). I think Ben Burtt heard it in some old movie and liked it so much that he uses it in pretty much all of the pictures he's involved with. If I recall correctly, you can hear it:

ANH: When a Stormtrooper falls down the shaft right before Luke and Leia swing across.

ESB: I'm blanking, although its probably in there

ROTJ: When someone (I forget who) gets eaten by the Sarlacc

TPM: In the firefight in the Naboo hangar

AOTC: When the Naboo Cruiser blows up.

Darth McBain

Oh, and BTW, it can be heard in ESB during the Hoth battle.

It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a
hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic
Empire.
During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.
Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...

Luke Skywalker has returned to his home
planet of Tatooine in an attempt to rescue
his friend Han Solo from the clutches of the
vile gangster Jabba the Hutt.

Little does Luke know that the GALACTIC
EMPIRE has secretly begun construction on a
new armored space station even more powerful
than the first dreaded Death Star.

When completed, this ultimate weapon will
spell certain doom for the small band of
Rebels struggling to restore freedom to the
