Yesterday, I went with my friend, M-Diggity to see Revenge of the Sith. (M-Diggity mentioned that he didn't have a rap name, so I'm calling him M-Diggity.)
So, brace yourself for my review...
Best... epsidode... ever. Not actually, but it was the best one of the new three, by a long shot. This was the story of how Darth Vader came to be. It was entertaining enough that it covered up for Hayden Christensen's acting. You could almost see the thought-bubbles over his head, "OK, I'm intense, brooding...dark..."
I haven't seen an actor try so hard in outer space since Shatner.
I have to be honest, though... I really liked the movie. Plenty of badass Jedi scenes & no Jar Jar tomfoolery.
Obviously, the special effects and action scenes are fantastic, and far exceed anything from the original trio of movies. The new trio's stories just didn't hold a candle to the old movies... until The Revenge of the Sith. George Lucas made a movie that will satisfy the older Star Wars fans, instead of simply trying to create a new legion of nine-year-old fans.
The new movies were missing the wise-ass, Harrison Ford-type, wild card character.
"I love you."
"I know."
It's hard to get much cooler than Han Solo.
And that's about enough from me on this topic... Um, yes, I'm 35 years old. And, yes, I just spent thirty minutes writing about Star Wars, googling star wars sites for pictures. How long before I am making my own costumes and attending comventions?
Maybe I need to open a comic book store.

Saw it yesterday too and agree it's the best of the last three, but seriously. Is it just me, or does George Lucas write some of the lamest dialogue ever? Han Solo's lines in the first movie excepted because, well, Harrison Ford.
He does write some lame-ass dialogue. Even the first three were horrible, dialogue-wise.
When quality actors like Ewan MacGregor, Liam Neeson, Samuel Jackson, Natalie Portman or Harrison Ford sound stilted & stiff, you have to look at the writer...
But here we sit, typing about star wars...
Go enjoy the beautiful day!
All hail Lord Vader
Hey Joe, the pictures are great! Apparently India hasn't told you about her secret wish to travel the country, going from convention to convention dressed as her favorite character? Talk to her about it. Barney would make a great Chewie.
