I don't think this is based on a single true story, so much as its a movie inspired by alot of the true and weird shit ou goverment has experimented with over the years.
That being said, George Clooney Jedi? Fuck yes.

That actor who played Anakin was a really sucky actor.
Viscount Islands on
I want to do with you
What spring does with the cherry trees.
That actor who played Anakin was a really sucky actor.
Eh, You got to blame the writers too.
Some of his dialog was just god awful
I can't do it, Mom. I just can't do it.
Are you an angel?
An angel. I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They live on the moons of Iego, I think. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe.
I'm a person and my name is Anakin.
I saw your laser sword. Only Jedi carry that kind of weapon.
I've built a racer. It's the fastest ever! There's a big race tomorrow on Boonta Eve. You could enter my pod. It's all but finished.
Mom, you said that the biggest problem in the universe is no one helps each other.
But what about mom? Is she free too? You're coming too, aren't you mom?
I will come back and free you mom, I promise.
Don't count on it, slimeball!
Anakin: I've been working on a scanner to try and locate mine.
Shmi Skywalker: Any attempt to escape...
Anakin: And they blow you up! BOOM! Jar Jar Binks: How wude!
Now this is pod racing!
I know we're in trouble, just hang on!
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.
One day, I will become the greatest Jedi EVER. I will even learn how to stop people from dying.
You're asking me to be rational. I know that is something I cannot do.
I CAN'T LEAVE HER!
So have you. Grown more beautiful, I mean. Well, for a Senator I mean.
Me? A Master? I'm overwhelmed, sir. But the Council elects its own members. They will never accept this
I'm going there to end this war. Wait for me until I return. Thing's will be different, I promise. Please wait for me.
He won't give up his power. I just learned the terrible truth. I think Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord.
Something's happening. I'm not the Jedi I should be. I want more. And I know I shouldn't.
[Anakin decapitates Dooku] I couldn't stop myself.
[Anakin frees Chancellor Palpatine] I shouldn't have done that. It's not the Jedi way.
The Jedi use their power for good.
The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inward, only about themselves.
The Jedi are selfless... they only care about others.
What? How can you do this? This is outrageous, it's unfair.
You brought him here to kill me!
Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan! I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire.
Don't make me kill you.
If you're not with me, then you're my enemy.
You turned her against me!
You will not take her from me!
I will do whatever you ask. Just help me save Padme's life. I can't live without her. If she dies, I don't know what I will do.
I pledge myself to your teachings. To the ways of the Sith.
I sense Count Dooku.
You are so... beautiful.
I hate you.
I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over. Chancellor Palpatine has showed me the true ways of the Force.
From my point of view, it is the Jedi who are evil.
[raises his lightsaber] This is the end for you... my former master.
My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count.
Obi-Wan is trying to turn you against me.
Love won't save you, Padme. Only my new powers can do that!
No. Don't you see? We don't have to run away anymore! We no longer have to hide our love for each other. I am more powerful than the Chancellor, I... I can overthrow him! And together, you and I can rule the galaxy! We can make things the way we want them to be!
I don't want to hear any more about Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned against me. Don't you turn against me!
Liar! You're with him! You brought him here to kill me!
DE?AD once pointed out to me that in Episode 3, Obi-Wan apparently says "Only a Sith deals in absolutes!" and then nearly immediately afterward says "THE SITH ARE EVIL!"

In 20 or so years, after Lucas has passed on, some Star Wars fan turned movie director will look at episodes 1-3 and say "fuck man, I can't let it end... begin like this"
and then he'll convince the studio to remake the films, and he'll do them right
Tartakovsky got me so fucking pumped to see Grievous in the film.
And then Lucas turned him into a complete turd.
I bet they all laughed at him when he enlisted. Oh Colour Sergeant Grievous you're such a tool, go over there and defend that hunk of dead rock. Oh but he bide his time, knowing full well that soon enough his name and rank would align in the most terrible of ways.

That was certainly something

I think James Franco should be in everything though, so...

WHAT THE FUCK
How is that OK, but Goatse isn't?
WE CAN RULE THE GALAXY
Also this movie looks pretty good. I could really go for a good comedy.
I think it's because I haven't seen the first one in so long that my memory of the whole Tron "experience" is kinda dulled
I've added it to my Netflix queue though so this should be corrected soon
and then he'll convince the studio to remake the films, and he'll do them right
and all will be well in the world
The part where R2D2 lights a droid on fire was pretty cool.
Everything past that was pretty terrible.

And then Lucas turned him into a complete turd.
the character has the potential to be awesome (see the Genndy Tartakovsky animated series), he was just terrible in the movies
EDIT: seriously a cyborgian prototype for Vader's life support mechanisms should have been incredible
what happened there
VROOOM LIGHTSABER SHINIES EVERYWHERE
LOOK AT BRIGHT COLORS
YAY
defender please explain your hate of shiny pretty things that kill people
He was a fucking ninja.
It was.
I loved him so much in the Clone Wars.
Man. That was a letdown.
What spring does with the cherry trees.
I think you may have misunderstood something.
droid ninja with four arms who could use the force!
ok, so maybe he was overpowered
but at least he was enjoyable
wait, that wasn't sarcastic?
it's so hard to tell with you
Seriously, I couldn't get enough of him.
And he only even needed two arms to beat up a whole group of jedi.
Becasue he is a ninja.

He dodges the force!
Nobody dodges the force!
Except Grievous.
Also he had the coolest introduction of any evil Star Wars character.
"I can't take it anymore! Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-!!"
SLAM
