Thursday night my Honey got tickets for us to see the latest (and supposedly last in movie form) installment of Star Wars.
::::SPOILERS TO FOLLOW:::::
I loved it and yeah the whole Princess Leia saying that she remembered her Mother in Return of the Jedi thing bugged me from the time Anakin started foreshadowing Padme's death. I drove my man nuts apparently commenting on it throughout the movie, though I didn't realize I was because I was so involved in Lucas's playground!
I knew they HAD to wipe the memories of the droids, but I like that they kept R2s', he was great in the beginning of the movie by the way, loved when Obi-Wan kept trying to contact him...made me laugh.
Loved the Jedi moves at the beginning also. Leaping out of their ships Lasers ablazing was totally cool.
Loved Chewie picking up yoda
Not a huge fan of Hayden's (Anakin Skywalker) acting, but at least I believed that he could actually be Vader, which I had a difficult time imagining with the kid who played little Anni in The Phantom Menace.
Liked how he explained the "virgin birth" thing from The Phantom Menace. Makes sense to me that some evil Sith Lord learned to manipulate the force so he can cause birth. (Palpatine's master apparently was the guilty party, because from what I got it was Palp's inference that HE was the one to kill that great Sith lord while he slept.) (Well makes sense in Lucas's world).
Really liked seeing Anakin start having ideas of ruling the galaxy, but when he said it, I sorta cringed because it's such a cliche line...brought images of him rubbing hands together and laughing maniacally, like Andrew, Johnathon and Warren from Buffy did when basking in their dreams of ruling Sunnydale. BUT I still really loved the scene.
All in all, Lucas tied things together nicely I thought.
Wonder if coming generations will watch it 4, 5, & 6, then 1, 2, & 3 like we all did, or they will start with 1, 2, & 3? I know that's what Lucas thinks, but somehow I don't think it's quite as fun.
