klwilliamsI saw Revenge of the Sith last night.
1. What kind of "good" Jedi Knight leaves someone who was as close to him as a brother lying armless, legless, horribly burned, and moaning in pain without either getting him help or killing him off? That Obi-Wan has a dark side of his own.
2. Did you notice that the droids turning Anakin into a cyborg managed to attach his cape underneath him so that it would be on him the first time he stood up on his new legs?
3. Speaking of capes, how many of you thought "No capes! They'll get sucked into the airplane engine."?
4. If Anakin was about 20 or 22 in this movie, and Luke was about 17 in A New Hope, that would make Darth Vader in his late thirties in A New Hope. Which means I'm older than Darth Vader. (And probably so are you.) When I saw the first movie at 14, I would have thought anyone over 40 was ancient, but now I don't.
5. I loved the planet with the giant flowers and mushrooms. I want to see a movie set on that planet.
6. Yoda rocks. He was also the least wooden of the actors in this movie.
7. R2-D2 was the second least wooden of all the actors.
8. I think that if they didn't show the droids burned in the oil or General Grievous's ugly death, then Anakin's mutilation and burning at the end would have been even more powerful, and maybe they could have avoided the PG-13 rating.
9. I still don't see what Padme saw in Anakin. I also think "Anny" as a nickname for a guy is really dumb.
10. I wonder how many people are going to start talking about Darth Bush.
Oh, yeah, and I really liked this movie. The acting was wooden and the dialogue terrible, but he's still trying to go for the old serial feel, which he got with this one.

Political parallels
Date: 2005-05-31 01:33 pm (UTC)Granted, it's got strong parallels to our current situation; but that's inevitable, given that Rove has the Nazi example to learn from.
Episode I came out while Clinton was still president, after all, and the Hitler parallels were already obvious.
