Well Lucas's original vision was as a nine part story and as somebody else said the final 3 parts would be set after Jedi.
There are plenty of gaps in the story which could probably be filled with a whole episode, but we, the viewer, just have to assume that nothing "major" happened.
The Clone War was supposed to last for a long time, however I'm guessing Episode III will take-off very near the end of this war.

THese things will have to happen in Episode 3:
1. Amadala will die, forcing Anakin to blame Obi Wan.
2. Obi WAn will have to defeat Anakin
3. Twins will be born to Amadala
4. THe Jedi will be blamed for something and thus hunted and killed
5. Darth Sidious will finally reveal himself to be Palpatine, tho I think there is a suprise in store here somehow.

I finally saw the movie yesterday and I just have to say . . .
WOW! AMAZING!
This was true Star Wars to the core. I loved every minute of the movie! I don't understand how anyone can be critical of any part of this movie, it was incredible from beginning to end. Lucas finally got back into developing his characters. So many mysteries are being revealed, and they all lead to new questions.
WARNING SPOILER BITS BELOW!!
I love the way that Palpatine has been manipulating everyone for at least 10 years (episode I). He is so smooth, playing out the other jedi and the whole republic in order to gain power.
And Yoda! OMG what can you say! Now we have finally seen how powerful he can be. I loved it!
I'm glad they toned down Jar Jar. He's finally gotten control of himself. I hated him in Ep I.
Obi Wan was perfect. He was my favorite character overall.
And I got chills when Anakin was telling Padme about what he did in the Tusken Raider village. He's definitely losing it.
I thought the whole clone thing was great. Palpatine will eventually use this army to maintain control of the Republic. I laughed to myself when he promised the senate that he would return the emergency powers they gave him after the crisis has passed. HA! We know how long THAT will take! Not until Vader kills him.
And does anyone else agree that Owen and Beru were perfect? They looked exactly like them!
And I remember from some of the comic books or novels or something that it was mentiond that Boba Fett was somehow related to the Stormtroopers. Now we know how!
What I expect in Episode 3:
Palpatine gains more and more control, and is finally revealed to be a Sith.
Anakin, desperate to become all powerful, in the name of revenge, dabbles in the Dark Side of the Force.
Darth Sidious plays Anakin against Dooku, just like he will eventually play Luke against Vader. But this time Anakin easily gives in to hate and defeats Dooku, becoming Darth Vader.
The twins are born in secret.
Anakin blames the Jedi for something (death of Padme?) and hunts them all down, using the huge clone army and serving Sidious.
Being an unstable control freak, he gladly sets about bringing order to the galaxy through fear and violence.
Construction of the Death Star begins.
Luke is left with Owen and Beru on Tatooine, Leia is left on Alderaan. Obi Wan hides on Tatooine, Yoda hides on Dagoba. Everyone is waiting for Luke to grow up, he is the Jedi's only hope.
Hopefully some Wookies!

it was ok, but certainly wasn't worth going to the threatre for. Clones have been done over way too much, in such shows as Metropolis and Multiplicity. As well as the one with Arnold where his finds out his family has been cloned.
It's the same ol', same ol', and believe me "funky" graphics do not make a movie. The storyline was ok, it was better than that god awful Episode I, but not by much.
Let's hope he gets it straight with Episode 3. Because as far as i'm concerned, 4 to 6 are the only good ones out there.

"SPOILER" in the topic would have been ok, we're sorry

THats becuse the clones are Stormtroopers.
I guessed that a long time ago.
NAtalie Portman was prettty S E X Y as well.
Yes Portman was very hot.
No, Storm Troopers are not clones, per the books. In the later books 7,8,9, they explain the destuction of the clone cylinders way before the Empire was even formed. Clones should be way over by the end of EP3.
There was an Academy for the Empire, people enrolled just like the rebellion. They were all men, not clones.... Except 1. Can the book readers tell me who that might be?

I stopped reading the books about 3 years ago. Too many were coming out by then and I couldn't keep up, and the quality was slipping. They went the same way as Star Trek books did; mass quantity over quality in the end. I loved the Jedi Academy books though, but the best of all was Timothy Zahn's trilogy, with Grand Admiral Thrawn.
it wasn't george lucas' fault Episode 1 kinda sucked, he had to tell the story and Episode 1 was part of it, kinda like reading a book where the first 2 or 3 chapters suck. Although i think we could have done without Jar-Jar, or at least he could have been more professional and not as annoying....wait, C3PO was annoying too in the other ones, i guess its something you gotta deal with huh?
And Yes, i would have to say that i would do Natalie Portman. LOL

Well, the original post merely stated that Yoda kicked a$$, and had no spoilers of any sort (hence no need for that heading in the topic). However, it would seem logical that there would be much discussion about the movie itself amongst people that have seen it in the thread, so I don't understand why anyone would be too mad about it to begin with.

I agree totally.

ep2 was just plain boring. The dialouge was crappy. The fight scenes were normal and nothing great. I went to the bathroom 3 times during the movie because i got so bored of the lackluster acting job by all except who ever played obi one.
Unfortunately i'm going to go see all of the movies because of my love for the orginal trilogy.
