The Google Strikes Back So Aurelie and I turned to the Dark Side (along with a lot of other students from the class) and watched Episode III. (It's a funny feeling to think that we're done with Star Wars.) As predicted the vast majority of people at the showing were more or less college-aged. In any case, the movie was very, very good. Better than Episode II and simply light years ahead of Episode I. I won't give any spoilers just yet except for one: Anakin turns into Darth Vader...... :-) Oh, and a welcome spoiler: while Jar Jar does make two token appearances in the movie, he doesn't say a thing! At some point in the future I'll write some thoughts about the movie. I'll wait for a few weeks a) because it's final projects/exams time! and b) so that people have a chance to see the movie. Oh, and of course, we had to go see it again, so off goed we on Saturday, again to the 11 pm showing. This time, we actually had to pay. Bah! Got great seats both times, though... As a final word of parting, I really liked the following: Obiwan, about to go searching for the bad guys, turns to Anakin and says something like: "Oh, these things usually turn into wild bantha chases!" Lucas has a knack for taking present-day vernacular and rendering it quite well in StarWarsy style. Jedi poodoo! Jabba will turn you into bantha fodder, you scruffy nerf-herder. ^ TOP Hurray for Honors |
