Why do they release the video game that's based on EpIII before the film comes out? That's just silly.

They always release the game before the movie; it's publicity. The concept that you might not know the plot before you see the film seems to be out of fashion with the film industry.

Maybe they are afriad that EP3 will suck as badly as EP1 and wanna get the game out before the suck factor comes into play

Sadly, the suck factor for the game is apparently pretty high too.

But this tactic is widespread; the Lord of the Rings games were released several weeks before the movie also. Did we know what was going to happen? Yes. Did we buy the games to see some footage that wasn't yet in the trailers? Yes to that also. But those games and movies were of a much higher quality than anything Lucas has had his hands on recently.

Also, the novelization and comic book of Ep 3 has been out for a few weeks already. It's not like anything is going to be surprising.

You could read the book a month ago.

OK, we all know what's happening, just like with LotR, but still.

so people buy the tie-in before they find out how pants the film is?
