You can read the crawl at [starwars.com](http://starwars.com): [http://starwars.com/episode-iii/bts/production/f20050126/indexp2.html](http://starwars.com/episode-iii/bts/production/f20050126/indexp2.html) Spoliers in the link (nothing more than the crawl). ---

Very nice… sounds like an interesting beginning to Ep III. ---

The holes in the plot are just too much too take. I used to be a huge fan but the series has gone to hell imho ☹ I’ll wait until it comes out on cable. ---

Will there be an Ep VII, I wonder? Or will Lucas just hang it up after this? ---

Ahhh… Boy! Evil “General Grievous” 😛 . I think even the original “Buck Rogers” scriptwriters might have paused at that. ---

> [@astro](#): > > Ahhh… Boy! Evil “General Grievous” 😛 . I think even the original “Buck Rogers” scriptwriters might have paused at that. Maybe, but it would have fit right in in the _Flash Gordon_ serials, which have much more of an influence on _Star Wars_. I like the text of the crawl. That crafty Sidious – there’s no word to adequately describe his evil machinations. 😉 ---

Oh, and for folks who are too lazy to follow the link: War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate. As the Separatist Droid Army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor… ---

Grevious kicked major ass in the Clone Wars cartoon. But I don’t see the movie living up to that portrayal, unfortunately. ---

I think there’s a typo in that text. I’m pretty sure the original Mojo Nixon lyrics specified that “_Elvis_ is everywhere.” How can there be heroes on both sides? Wouldn’t the ones fighting in the service of a ruthless Sith Lord be qualified as villains? ---
