    I don't mind the pictures so much as long as I don't know the plot and the twists of the movie. I'm guessing you have not seen the trailer?

    I would assume anyone hardcore spoiler free about ROTS would be smart enough to stay away from the Ep 3 page on TF.N...

    Damn it, now my interest is piqued. How spoilery are we talking?

    EDIT: Well, I looked. Yes, I can see why people might not want to look at that. But from what we saw in the teaser, it's pretty much expected. However, people may not want that much detail.

    Does Grievous seem a bit off to anyone else? His proportions, especially around the bottom of the mask, look different from the other pictures we've seen of him, like the databank one.

    BTW, topics like this really do bring more attention to these things than if nothing were said.

    Huge spoilers? Not really, at least not to me.

    Not after the trailer. Sure, there's a finished shot of Grievous, but we've been seeing so many pics of him, it's not exactly blowing me away in the spoiler department.

    It IS a nice finished shot though, far superior to the one on the OS, IMHO.

    Little bit melodramatic aren't ya there Typho.. :p

    I really don't see how they're THAT spoilery. Reading the captions is a perhaps more so.

    Those are some pretty sweet ads. I might start eating at Burger King, just to get the toys...

    I'm not terribly impressed with those action figures, though. Likenesses aren't very good.

    um, i'm sorry but Grevious with Naboo scenery in the BG is quite a bit spoilery. And those images also confirm that Palps will look very much like Palps from rotj.

    I didn't think the Burger King ad was very spoilerish...

    Well that isn't necessarily Naboo, it could be a different planet, Alderaan perhaps... or maybe it's just a promo image. We have no idea.

    And I'm really not suprised by Palpatine because of what the OS has been saying about him all along and the image from the trailer.

    Sorry you felt so spoiled though.


    Love those Burger King toys... even though it's totally part of the marketing machine (the 4th horseman of the apocalypse)... but they do look fun, and little things like that will help draw people to the movie.

    See, I'm a nervous spoilerfree fan, and I didn't even have much apprehension from looking at the pic. Probably because its going to be all over the place in a few months anyways. Burger king, cover of every magazine, and on toy racks. Its the back of the packages of the toys I have learned from the last 2 movies not to look at.

    I'm diggin' Palps in the fancy robes. I wonder if they might be ceremonial? Perhaps Vader's official knighting or something?

    Ya I like the fancy robes. Perhaps they are ceremonial or something...
    They look like something Palpatine would wear as chancellor too. I just hope he wears the basic sidious/emperor palpy robe with the brooch. I'm sure he does.

    By the way...Yoda looks VERY serious in this photo. I like it. And Vader has a lit saber. Hopefully that is an indication he'll use it in the film.

    Palpatine looks awful. And I don't mean he looks awful as in physically awful, the costume/make up is TERRIBLE.

    Grievous looks stupid, too.

    The trailer showed more than enough cool things to counter these minor issues.

    I think the robes are great, and I think that his face is too brightly lit, it will look cool in dark shadowy lighting, which is how I assume he will appear in the film.

    i question the efficacy of creating a topic to warn about spoilers, and then give away the spoilers we're supposed to avoid... GG with naboo in the BG indeed...

    ARE YOU MAD! Palpatine looks great! He looks like Palpatine from rotj only a tad younger...... it really looks wonderful!

    I think he looks right. The large picture is just a bit awkward to some of you, because of the hood/robes and lighting. Plus he looks a little more robust and less withered than the OT, which makes perfect sense. The small picture of him on the action figure with his normal robes looks very good. We've seen very little, I'm sure it'll be fine come May to those of you who aren't sure of it. I'm pleased.
    I guess this explains the "brown" robe we see in the trailer

    Agree with Captain_Typho - I think it's really remarkable how they are able to take Ian, who is 20-some years older than he was in ROTJ, and make him look 20 years YOUNGER in ROTS. :)

    I agree. I guess it's only HCSF threads for me from now on. :( [face_plain]

    The title of the thread probably ought to be changed, because it's not exactly a spoiler warning anymore.

    And what is with Palpatine in that picture?! :p His face looks like a cheap plastic mask. You can see the un-madeup area around his eyes.
