Star Wars
Sun Jun 26 2005


Golly Gee Batman, we just got back from seeing Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

I'm such a dope. I should have taken hankies.

I have to say that old George redeemed himself at last. And it's because he touched the beginnings. He remembered his story. Fancy images do not a good movie make.

I realized as I walked out of the theater, that this particular saga has spanned almost 30 years of my life. And my whole generation has had this "myth" as a backdrop to other things in our lives. My oldest son was 7 years old when we saw the first Star Wars movie. I think that year we went to see it 3 or 4 times, and for those days, that was an almost unheard of thing to do.

We certainly took our time about getting out to see it, and frankly, it's because I was afraid I was going to be disappointed. I was wrong.

If you haven't been out to see it yet. Fear not. Go forth.

But mind you, . . . bring hankies. . .

And oh yeah. Thanks George. Thanks a lot.

    I detest movie theaters, and so I miss out on a lot of good entertainment, at least entertainment recommended by people who go to movies.

    I did see the original Star Wars, but Megan insisted that I go with her. And I did enjoy it.

    But I still detest movie theaters.

    Shalom

    I really liked the latest 'Star Wars' movie too. It has been a part of my life, I was 4 years old when the first movie came out. I did get teary-eyed at the end, and it was great to tie up all the loose ends.

    Glad you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to seeing it when maybe sometime later when bubby is a bit older. ;-)

    glad you liked it :)
    i agree, the final (3rd) movie did redeem itself mostly, more like 4,5 and 6 than the other 2

    We have not seen it yet, but only because we were waiting until the crowds cleared just a bit. I'm hoping we can go soon.

    Well, it was certainly the best of the "prequel trilogy", but George left a few loopholes in the plot that were big enough to fly the Death Star through.

    For a rather biting but entirely accurate "Reader's Digest" plot summary of "Revenge of the Sith", check out http://ter.air0day.com/?script=revengeofthesith.

    RYN: I will take lots of pictures. Usually I tend to take family photos, but will try to take more this time for a few reasons. Plus, I've got a great way to get them displayed now so it's much easier.

    I never really got the whole Star Wars thing. I wish I had. How nice that you have those memories of it spanning all those years.
