ROTS Boycott?

This may have already been discussed, but is anyone NOT going to see Revenge of the Sith, on principle alone?
After Phantom Menace, I deluded myself into thinking Episode II would be better. For me, it was even WORSE than TPM. So after Attack of the Clones, I decided I wasn't going to give Lucas any more of my money.
But I suspect my curiosity will get the best of me.
Or maybe I can remain strong.

then they will say "how can you condemn a film without seeing it?"
and i'll say: "precedent!!!"
and they'll say: "but exorcist 3 was better than 2!!!"
and I'll say: "hmmm... you bastards that's right."
so either way i have to see it so i can tell people why they suck for liking it!
the number of people willing to boycot, are too few. so fuck it!
i'm going to go see it... and i'm going to see it first. they way, if it is as bad as the others, i'm going to spoil the fuck out of it!

But I have heard a few other people mention that they're going to make a concerted effort NOT to see it. So that kind of inspires me in the inconsequential way that only not seeing a movie can inspire.

Maybe just one of us should go see it and report back.
BTW, Star_Wars_Is_Us, where do you get all those avatars? You've changed yours like five times in a week.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an obi-wan to go.

Good. That's one less person who is a hypocrite. A lot of people could learn from him.

I will, however, grill all my friends in Seattle who will undoubtedly see the movie and get the full story from them.

I still haven't seen AOTC.
I won't see ROTS.

- This movie has an obvious ending (i.e. Anakin will become Vader, Palpy will become Emperor, many Jedi will die, etc.)
- Being involved even in a spoiler free community there is far too much ROTS talk going on to avoid knowing the basics of the plot. Add this with even Google News posting articles about the movies, hundreds of advance reviews and sites like TFN and starwars.com having tons of info on new characters, etc.
- Ever single food item, product and fast food restaurant is completely covered with Star Wars characters, scenes and facts.
Will Brooker had a bit in his book, Using the Force where he discusses this phenomenon (and this was 2001-02) and he pretty much highlights the entire plot synopsis of AOTC before its release.
