I've had to just accept that they're just movies. That's all. They're really not important in the scheme of things.<BR/><BR/>But, the 10-year-old in me who will never forget the Star Destroyer coming out of the top of the screen at the beginning of <I>A New Hope</I>, or three years later, walked out of <I>Empire</I> (not just my favorite episode; it's my favorite movie) believing Han Solo was out there, <I>somewhere</I>, frozen in carbomite, will be first in line to buy the <I>Sith</I> DVD. I'm such a sucker.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335496287080742001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-1128235518304465442005-10-02T01:45:00.000-05:002005-10-02T01:45:00.000-05:00I'm with you on this one. REVENGE OF THE SITH is (...I'm with you on this one. REVENGE OF THE SITH is (surpisingly) going to be a must-have.<BR/><BR/><BR/>For me:<BR/>I LOVE "Star Wars" (New Hope)<BR/>EMPIRE STRIKES BACK...My Fave of ALL TIME<BR/>RETURN OF THE JEDI....I 'll pass...sorry, those Ewoks...just get on my nerves<BR/>PHANTOM MENACE i quite enjoyed, although I didn't like the changes/mistakes Lucas let get by. I thought it would get better,but<BR/>ATTACK OF THE CLONES...i really gave up at this point. I think this is the weakest of all the movies. Inconsistencies,crazy additions, alterations AND bad acting! <BR/>So it was with NO EXPECTATIONS that I saw REVENGE OF THE SITH....and maybe that's why i ended up REALLY liking this one. Yes, bad acting and weak reasons to turn to the dark side and all! <BR/>I don't know why, BUT...<BR/><BR/>Remember back in around 1981, all the fans older than us who read stuff like STARLOG and FANGORIA...they would tell of vague rumours of STAR WARS secrets..<BR/>Some I remember were:<BR/>*Boba Fett is a clone of Han Solo under the mask<BR/>*Obi Wan is a clons left over from the Clone Wars,that's why his name is a number (OB-1<BR/>and the best one:<BR/>*Darth Vader fell in a volcano fighting Obi-Wan, and that's how he got disfigured.<BR/>Oh, how many nights i dreamt of seeing that scene!<BR/>I have to say that ,even with all the flaws of REVENGE, when the confrontation with Anakin and Obi Wan played out, (the scene where they are circling each other on the platform before the last duel),I thought to myself "This is the movie i've been waiting since i was a kid to see." i LOVED it!<BR/><BR/>So yeah, i'll definitely be getting this one, who knows, in the deluxe version, Lucas may even fix the Darth Vader moan NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at the end.zdoramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871908163053717826noreply@blogger.com
