Morn 8 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Maybe like last time, Lucas will come up with something so mind numbly stupid that no one else could have thought of it.Neil: I mean that TPM and AOTC were good stories.Yeah well, even Edwood D. Wood had good stories. And personally I think AOTC is Plan 9 from outer space on big budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 OH great! Just what these movies needed! More CGI characters! OK OK OK I'm joking. Seriously though that design doesn't look very menacing though, not AT ALL in fact. Seriously, C-3PO is a more intimidating sight to behold.

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 What does Rogue's ass have to do with this?I believe he means "ass" as being in reference to me as a whole as it is sometimes used in slang expression.For example: This Lucas guy's CG characters are not menacing enough for my ass! Luke is basically giving me a little taste of my own persona. you know what? I LIKE IT! Seriously though come on Luke you have to admit that design is NOT as intimidating as it should be. Vader makes that guy look like a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,810 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Well it just seems that my humour is not funny at all (or too silly nobody gets it...)What is the most common conception od C3PO? It even appeared in the simpsons, so it is not the spanish who think that. Let's say he is not very masculine.Thats why being near C3PO was dangerous for that anatomical part of your body.... Now really, picturing you 'ass a whole' ( ) is funny too About grievous... he may look better if dressed:It all depends of what he will do and the voice he will have.

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 That picture seemed so silly to me the first time I saw it and still does . . . Go by Lucas' line of thinking: "Meh, John Williams will give him a dark theme and fans will love it." And then just go back to any dark theme Williams did for any former SW movie, to cut and paste in case the new one represents the new character too precisely.

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I still feel it is very difficult for all CG characters to work in movies because the actors really dont seem to interact with stuff that isn't there. The only two successful examples so far are: Sean Connery's Draco from Dragonheart and Gollum from the LOTR movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Lewis 6 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 You said you like the prequle, huh?Adding wood to the fire does not help to highlight them but burn down... I don't hate the prequels, I actually have a good time watching them. They aren't classics to-be, nor movies I'd take with me to a desert island, but still I see no reason to particularly hate them. That's why I don't like the systematic rejection they are getting from older fans.Now, that doesn't mean I have to like George Lucas... I dislike him very much, always have. Even before the Prequels came out, both as an artist and as a person. His arrogance, his total condescendence towards fans and his treatment of John Williams' music only increased that.So I'll stick to what I said, Luke, but that doesn't mean I don't stand closer to you than (for example) to Neil in this case.

And definatly, they are the only ones who make right physical interactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I think Grievous is a great design. Do I think he is better than Maul or Vader? HELL NO! Why on earth would we be expecting him to be? He is not a Sith lord. He is not the main villian in ANY film. Personally I think he looks good. I expect a good voice and it depends on how he moves, but yah... I think he will be fine. We have no idea how much he will even BE in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpigeon 3 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I agree with you, Strilo. He is certainly not what I expected, but I think the design is very intriguing. Interesting to see what his voice might sound like, and just how he will battle the Jedi.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eplicon 53 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 As been reported, John DiMaggio (voice of "Bender" from Futurama) was hired to do the voice. I expect something kick-ass from him.

(I had only seen snippets of The Clone Wars, but not the ones with Grievous in it...) In any event, since there still hasn't any official announcement, I guess Lucas will decide as post production wraps up. Either way, I hope to hear something really interesting.
