Star Wars Episode 3: Attack of the Ad Campaign

Good. After seeing Episode 3, I'd fancy wiping my ass with the Emperor.

Didn't they rip this off of Spaceballs, anyway?
 
What I am wondering if whether this entire discussion that the new Star Wars points a finger at George Bush little more than added advertising?

After all didn't Cannes festival end last weekend?
 
For those of you who can't believe it:

I actually like the Burger King commercial were Darth Vader meets the Burger King.

Frankly, I suspect the BK is the more dangerous- those burgers always give me the shits.

Ratty speaks the truth.

As for the ads, I've honestly not seen one advert for the film (although talk of it has been everywhere) but I have seen a fair few adverts for the game and/or products featuring SWE3 as some sort of promotion.

For example, they are currently running a Burger King commercial where Vader confronts a cleaner in a BK store and cuts off the end of his broom. Quite where BK or SW ties into this (aside from the use of characters) I do not know.
 
Please tell me that the toilet paper advertisement is a joke. It has too be. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
 
I feel like Im in the friggin Twilight Zone. Next your going to tell me that a former bodybuilder/actor is governor of Cailifornia......wait a minute.

Come on, dudes. It's the last Star Wars movie ever. It's a major event, the culmination of almost 30 years of work...of course everyone is going to try to cash in on this.

Uhm... since when is a special effect addict's final ejaculation on tape a major event? Oh, right, I forgot how hard Real Life sucks.

I wonder if he's gonna make it like the Matrix brothers and pump out a Star Wars MMORPG that basically lives of Episodes 7-9 and claims "THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN PART OF THE PLAN AND ISN'T A CASE OF FRANCHISE MILKING AT ALL".

At least he reverted the claim that Star Wars was always supposed to be nine episodes and he'd make the last three when he was done with the first three but didn't before because the special effects weren't evolved enough (more like a lack of funding and ideas if you can judge by the incredible... "truth to the setting" of SW E1-3).
 
That's what I thought - wasn't he going to make three more after this? But everyone's saying it's the end of the series.

Which is such a damn shame, y'all.
 
i heard that EP. 7~9 are made in games.. such as Star wars Knights, were you play as Kyle Katarn

Are you kidding? the books alone could cover 15 more episodes easy. The games are nothing in comparison.

Which may be half the problem with his scheme. Short of setting it 50 years in the future, the whole story line is already laid out in media, with successful (sort of, everything written and gamed has been unusually cheesy imo) conclusions to most conflicts.

And bringing in the yuuzan vong would be a totally craptastic puss-out
