Yeah, but sand in your fur is bad too. It's why I prefer Naboo
"I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like [Naboo]. [On Naboo], everything's soft... and smoooth..."
yeah.. I went there.

Yep, you sure did go there.
That was quite possibly the worst courtship in a movie I'd ever seen. When Padme expresses her deep burning love for Anakin, my only reaction was, "Why? That dude is such a cheesy dork, and nothing he says sounds sincere."
Between blathering Jar Jar in Episode I and the love story in Episode II, I fear what travesty of a screenplay is written up in Episode III. I seriously hope the action and the massive amount of necessary story progression prevent ol' Georgie from screwing this one up.

I'm suprised there wasn't one already for 2 years of waiting for content and not having any regarding our professions. And we're still waiting.
Our case is self-explanatory. False advertising.
For what a lawsuit costs nowadays, it'd be so not worth it. Nobody really gets anything useful from class actions anyways, we'd probably get coupons good for up to 3 blank audio cassettes from Sony. And the lawyers would walk away massively rich.
Eshi, please /spank him.... Those words should never, ever, ever be repeated.

That's exactly why she loved him. She was so sick and tired of smooth talking politicians, that Anakin coming up with the worst pickup line in the history of the galaxy won her over. 
As for the screenplay... I'm just in it for the visuals. I'll be reading the book two weekends from now. I enjoyed the novelization of AotC more than the movie in terms of the storytelling. I loved the special effects of the movie, though.
anyways, expecting Lucas to have a screenplay and directing style that will appeal to the majority of Star Wars fans is the same as expecting the Devs to answer the concerns in this thread in a timely fashion: they just ain't gonna happen.

Well, I have to say I'm with Warryyr on that one. Actually I didn't mind Jar-Jar in Ep. 1 all that much (at least not on the first two viewings), but that "love-story" was so horribly written that it really occured to me that there must be absolutely nobody at LucasArts who dares to tell the Bearded One when he's about to screw up. And that in turn made me kinda worried about Ep. 3...
It's no coincidence that the screenplay to the SW movie that's widely considered to be the best of all wasn't written by Lucas...
George Lucas had and still has a great vision for Star Wars, nobody else but him could have done episodes 1-3, it's just when laying down the particulars that he should look for help from time to time

Yeah, like having Obi-Wan refer to Anakin a bazillion times in Episode 2 as "my very young apprentice" and "young padawan learner" and all of that. And his little spat with Padme in Naboo, when she referred to him as a Padawan and not a Jedi.
Yeah, we get it Georgie boy...he's frustrated that he feels he should be a Jedi already and not a Padawan....but instead he beat that horse into the ground again and again and again.
He's not the best screenwriter. Which is as kind of a way as I can put it. Solely out of respect for the fact that heconceived the best space western musical that the world will probably ever see.
It doesn't help. Really.

He made her acting look like an Academy Award worthy performance.

But it's a big "if" and I really doubt the devs are out to do the above. But then again, lots of devs in the past have done silly things.

Never happen, that "I accept" button we all click each time we login covers them for just such a case, as well as the "game experience may change during online play" warnings on the outside of the box. Besides, forum posts and development docs, while we put great stock in them as players, are nothing close to advertising, or any form of contract for services.
