Anyone here seen it? I did, unfortunately not on digital. It rocked! Much better than EP 1, better than Episode 4, 5 and 6. The ending was scare, though. And I think Episode 3 will be about anakin skywalker going to the dark side. Without spoiling this for others, Yoda was the king of this movie.  BTW, incase you dont know episode 4, 5 and 6 are A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (in that order). Anyone know why George Lucas did it that way?

He was probably on pot when he made the first movie (episode 4), and when he realized he made it episode 4 and not episode 1, he went, "Aw, sh!t! Now we gotta make prequals!".
I haven't seen it yet, I don't know when I will.

Because of his budgetary limitations in 1975-76, Lucas did not know if he could eventually afford get all 6 movies made. They were, after all, considered by the studios to be "silly" little sci-fi movies that never grossed much at the box office. He thought that if one movie could stand alone best by itself (without the audience having to know the storyline of the other movies to understand it), it would be Episode 4 (then known as just "Star Wars").
Of course, it became the highest grossing movie of all time. Because Lucas could afford to create Episodes 5 and 6, he had the title "Episode IV - A New Hope" added to the opening crawl of Star Wars during it's re-release in 1979. Lucas followed the special titling in the crawls to ESB and ROTJ.
BTW, I saw AOTC, and it's a great movie. That sense of adventure and fun from the original trilogy is back (just in case anyone was turned off from the SW franchise by The Phantom Menace). I highly recommend everyone seeing it if you're in the mood for a cool action movie this summer (or winter, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere ). As much as I liked Spider-man, AOTC clones blows it out of the water.
