...hhhooooohhh.......hhhaaaaahhh....

I saw the new Star Wars (Episode III: Revenge of the Sith). It's time for a geek out moment. I'm a huge Star Wars fan. I grew up with the movies since before my first memory. It's something that is very important to me. I hated Episode One and Episode Two. Although, I feel Episode One was much better than two. But I digest. I know I was supposed to say digress just there, but I made a typo and instead of just deleting it, I decided to write this little blurb instead. But eye digress. I went into Revenge of the Sith praying not to be disappointed. And I wasn't.

(If you haven't seen the movie and don't want it ruined, don't continue)

I saw it twice. The first time I was disappointed, I think because I so wanted not to be. This was for two reasons, significant things being rushed over, the cute little droid noises (except R2-D2, cause he has a license to be cute), the little amount of time that we saw Darth Vader in his suit, and the fact that George Lucas seemed to care more about making money and showing off his CG rather than adding on to the great story with some even greater movies. With the talent and technology that we have, and the money George Lucas has, we should be able to have new Star Wars that are even more epic than the originals. I went home with these feelings after the movie.

Then I started to think of the series as a whole, and suddenly realized the amount of meaning that it brought to the entire original trilogy. The next night, I went to watch it again, and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. Although, the cute droid noises were there (but not as bad as I first thought), moments were rushed over, Lucas still looked like he wanted money more than a great story, and Darth Vader didn't spend much time in his suit (which didn't matter, because Darth Vader didn't need the suit to be badass). But I thought that it was the best to come out since Return of the Jedi. And in this one, Hayden Christiansen did a much better job.

So one of my final thoughts for tonite is, anything that's wrong with the Star Wars series with all of the new work that is been done on it is the fault of Lucas who couldn't direct a donkey out of an open field.

And for my final thought, I will rate the Star Wars movies in order of my favorites, from best to least favorite (like any of you care, but I don't care that you don't! ha ha!):

1. The Empire Strikes Back;
2. The Return of the Jedi;
3. The Revenge of the Sith;
4. A New Hope;
5. The Phantom Menace; and last and certainly least,
6. The Attack of the Clones (which sounds like a cheesy B-Horror Flick)
