[Sadly, I think that it’s closer to what the film will be than I’d like.](http://www.sequentialpictures.com/moviestarwarsepisode3.html) It’s damned funny, though.

R2’s a giant home pregnancy test! 😃

downloaded the “large” quicktime movie, it plays back totally choppy, like listening to it through an electric fan (winxp, quicktime 6.5). any thoughts?

I couldn’t even get the large to download when I tried it, the next size down, though, worked just fine, and I was able to blow up the window it played in with no distortion.

I downloaded the large one from the [liberatedman.com](http://liberatedman.com) mirror, and it plays back fine.

That Artoo scene is _very_ suggestive…

“The Sphere o’ Fear!”

I downloaded the large one, and the computer froze up when I tried sizing it up while playing – but after a reboot, it played fine. Thanks for the link – that was funny!

I guarantee that movie would have better luck opening the Cannes Film Festival than will the Lucas version. The headlines almost write themselves, “Star Wars meets the wrath of Cannes” is sure to be one of them.

True, the peeing scene was a bit overdone. I did enjoy the drawing of Anakin as a big “poopy-head.” Signed “Obee-wan & Padme.”
