Sorry but Darth & Anakin already have...
In Response To: Jack Heuer and George Lucas ()

Jack Heuer and George Lucas Posted By: shaun Date: 5/19/05 23:40 GMT

I think this forum probably needs a review of Star Wars Episode III.....well, it probably doesn't but anyway, but I wanted to be first.

Chuck had said in an earlier post he had "a bad feeling about this". Well I just saw episode III and it wasn't too bad.

No! You misunderstood what I said. I thought "I have a bad feeling about this" would be the perfect tag-line for this movie... Much akin to "You'll believe a man can fly!" was a great tagline for Superman or indeed "Long ago, in a galaxy far far away" was a perfect tag-line for the original Star Wars: A New Hope.

It plays to the fact that this is one of the most repeated line within the movies and jokingly refers to the fact that nearly everyone who goes into the movie knows how it's going to turn out... That Anakin Skywalker will at some point fall into a Volcano and become Darth Vader.

"I've got a bad feeling about this!" Is perfect way to sum all this up.

As I want to stay on topic (sort of) I would have to ask, if each episode of Star Wars was a Heuer watch, which one would it be?

Well, Darth Vader already has a Seamaster named after him...
As does Anakin...
Someone named those in a moment of levity about five years ago. I know they aren't Heuers, but I'll have to think about the other movies to come up with ideas.
