a short time from now, in a movie theatre not very far away.....
...I will be watching a midnight showing of star wars episode III: revenge of the sith. i don't know how, but my mom got tickets. she said they were some of the last ones.
The following will be in part a recanting of childhood memories and feelings, but also a current review of my opinion of the whole shebang. BTW before i get started, i just want to make clear that i am not by any means a star wars geek. i don't own the darth maul polyurethane statue, i don't have the millenium falcon still in its original packaging, and i don't own the star wars version of trivial pursuit. *dave* Speaking of whom, i'd like to hear dave's take on the whole thing. i'm not trying to influence his blog or anything, but a post on star wars would be nice. maybe like a dueling blog type of deal. or whatever.
Episode 4 came in '77 a year before i was born. Ep 5 was in '80, and i don't know if i was taken to see it or not. i was 1 and a half. when jedi came out however i was the ripe old age of 4, and my aunt had decided that it was time to be introduced into the world of star wars, and more importantly the ritual, which is of course sitting in a line for eight hours just to see a movie about some stupid bear type animals throwing rocks at some stupid soldier guys. of course, at the time, i ate it up. don't get me wrong, jedi was allright, but if George Lucas knew it was going to be the last star wars movie for a while, he could have beefed it up a bit.
here however is the lowdown. i like the star wars universe. i love the dark/light sides of the force, jedi, sith, droids, wars in umm..the stars. bloody brilliant. but stuff got mucked up. probably to do with money, arrogance, drugs, whatever. i'm trying my best to stay off the soap box, mainly because i'll end up sound like every other whiney ass fanboy out there. needless to say i feel the same as everybody else does about ep 1 and 2. two i liked at first, but i watched again and wanted to punch anakin in the face. from the advance reviews that i've read, the movie is good, but not good enough to make up for the first two crapisodes. i guess i'll say uncle and get swept up into the star wars hurricane like everyone else. but i am not waiting in line for 24 hours just to get a good seat.

Heh. Have fun. At least it's got some Darth Vader in it, ya know?
dork.
wow the queen of the dorks called me a dork. go fig. anyway from the updated department, the movie was really really good. i liked it alot. and i did have to stand in line for five hours. just to get good seats. but it was worth it.
QUEEN OF DORKS! What did I do to get THAT distinction? I mean, I'm a little dorky, yeah, but the queen? I think not. You'll have to site specifics to convince me.
ok fine you're not the queen. princess maybe. you're a girl. you play video games. that alone is enough for a ticket to dorksylvania. you've also played your share of rpg's, and you watch anime. in your defense though, you're probably the hottest dork i've met.
Thanks! At least if your gonna be a dork, you should try to look good doing it. You forgot to add that I want to draw comic books when I grow up. That should add to my dork factor.
