star wars opens next week
It’s FINALLY time for the final Star Wars movie, Revenge of the Sith. I enjoyed the first two movies, even though they weren’t particularly well acted or directed. However, if you realize what they’re actually about, which is the rise to power of Palpatine and how he pulls strings behind-the-scenes, they’re actually very interesting. That being said, ROTS has a chance to be the best Star Wars movie so far. It should pretty much tell itself, and I don’t really see how Lucas could possibly screw it up.
For the first two movies, I pretty much read all of the spoilers on the Internet, and even read the Episode 2 book before I saw the movie. This time, however, I’ve avoided all of that so that the movie will be somewhat of a surprise, even though I generally know what will happen. As good as the trailers were, the movie should be awesome.
In a related story, I came across the Darth Vader blog recently. Whomever the writer is, the person does an excellent job of blending story-telling, humor, and Star Wars knowledge into a compelling read. Every Star Wars fan should check it out.
