I think Ep 3 is going to do incredibly well - look at the first three movies - ESB didn't do so well, but RotJ did awesome. PLUS, three sets up New Hope - and I know that's the reason *I* want to see it.
Everyone wants to see the 'birth' of Darth Vader, so it will do really well.
I'm going to first in line for Serenity, tho, and I'm dragging everyone I can along with me.
I might be looking forward to seeing Ep 3, but it's nothing like how bad I wanna see Serenity.

bigdamnmovie.com now I like that one ! Of course, it loses its meaning to folks not familar w/ Firefly. What we need to do is attract NEW folk.
Episode3vsSerenity.com isn't bad ( thoguht 'three' needed shortening to '3' )
How about....

I can't wait to see Star Wars. I'm not expecting an Oscar winner, just some good lightsaber action.

Tash, that's just weird!
I'm with the "Let's see Star Wars, not expecting greatness" crowd. It certainly shouldn't get worse.

I've been devoting the past few years of my life to trying to forget about Eps 1 & 2. I won't go to see three. The whole Yoda fighting thing kind of tipped the scale. "Yoda's fighting...that's so cool!! Wait, why am I tolerating this abuse of my childhood?" (with apologies to the Abriged Script people). I remmember as a little kid seeing the original movies. I took in Jabba the Hut and all that on my parent's knees. Literally.
I imagine there'll probably be alot of people thinking the same thing as I. Firefly is like a breath of fresh air, with all the crap that's been produced lately (trying to forget the ending of Matrix Revolutions. And the middle. and the beggining. )

This is a cross-post of mine, from a different thread, written a couple of days ago, but it seemed appropriate for this topic. Sorry, if it's rehash to anyone...
Prediction:
Firefly: Serenity will be a top-ten grosser for the year 2005.
Why? Because "Star Wars III: The Inevitable Conclusion" will bomb. Remember -- those of you old enough to remember the first trilogy of the SW saga -- that Anakin becomes Darth, the universe is plunged into the utter darkness of evil, the Jedi are destroyed ("You are the last of that dead religion, Lord Vader", cough,cough, choke), Amidala dies/runs for her life with her twins Luke and Leia because of Darth, etc. Total downer ending for the franchise.
The next factor: In addition to the growth of the civilian fanbase of Firefly through DVD sales, proselytization by fans (me included), and the efforts of sites like FFFn (good job Haken!), our military men and women have found a resonance in Firefly's story and characters and will be at theaters in droves. It'll be a love-fest between Browncoats and our heros of American freedom.
So, between the spillover of those disappointed by the stilted dialogue, wooden acting and utterly depressing conclusion of Star Wars wanting to see thrilling, thoughtful, and witty sci-fi, and the turnout of Firefly Faithful and their beloved American heros, I think we'll get boffo box.
(Snip)
That's my prediction, and you can throw it up to me anytime you like. Anybody who disagrees, just let me say, "I find you're lack of faith... Disturbing".
Respectfully,

Umm, as an afterthought, how is Lucas going to explain the transformation of the whiny, pimply, angst-ridden Hayden Christensen into the spine-chilling Darth/James Earl Jones? (voice only, I know, so don't start) Is he going to get a testosterone injection? Acting lessons? A spine?
I mean Darth was probably the most menacing villian of recent film history. Christensen comes across as a petty vandal or shoplifter, at best. I'm sooo scared!

yeah, I think an artificial spine comes standard with the head sized helmet and voice alteration kit....
That was the problem with this whole prequel story arc...we knew exactly what was going to happen and Lucas just isn't a good enough writer to throw in any curves and surprises (Lawrence Kasden did the screen plays for those first ones that were so brilliant). Fact is Lucas needs to hire Whedon as a script doctor....
oops! he is BUSY WRITING SERENITY!

For the NASCAR fans amonst us, that's like Jeff Gordon becoming Dale Earnhardt.
