Sith happens
I woke up at 7am this morning and met up with some friends from Adobe who had special screening tickets to Revenge of the Sith. We (3 of us) made our way to a local coffee shop Java N Juice, grabbed some expresso and headed over to meet the rest of my friends (7 or them).
We got there (Westfield Oakridge Mall) an hour in advance for the 10am screening and got pretty good seats, right in the middle. The people there were all Adobe employees and friends of Adobe, which ranged from kids to older viewers. Then the lights dimmed and the opening credit scrolls up "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."
This is a great film — this one redeems the first two and closed the saga with a climatic bang. Lucas has taken a darker turn in Revenge of the Sith. Gone are the cutesie sidekick characters and awkward frollicking love scenes. Basically the first two films were exposition leading up to why Anakin made terrible choices to become Darth Vader.
I applaud Lucas for finally delivering a PG-13 movie that explores the darker themes of how a sweet and innoncent boy become a legendary villain. In one scene, when Anakin put on the famous life-support Vader suit and took his first machine enhanced breath, people in the audience were clapping their hands.
I feel sad though. There is no more Star Wars. That's it! It is over. Goodbye Star Wars and thanks for the wonderful memory and the fun ride.
Light saber lickin' good. Disappointed you will not be
—Yoda's review of "Revenge of the Sith"
Here's a not so glowing review from a New Yorker writer Anthony Lane that's quite enjoyable.
Space Case: Star Wars Episode III. (WARNING ** Spoiler Alert **)
How come there's all these special screenings?
Well, I read your comments...The doctor said Padme didn't have the will to live anymore...which seems like a punk out to me. Padme was queen, feisty, brave, smart...and in this last episode, she turns into a beaten-down wife.
As to Yoda surviving the clone attack, there were only two who attacked him which is pittance to a Jedi, while the others had to contend with dozens of clones.
Something else I'd like to know, why Yoda and Obi-Wan go into hiding?
Yeah Padme has no role in this movie whatsoever except to look good in outlandish customes.
I believe they have to go into exile to protect themselves since the Republic made them 'outlaws' in a sense.
u should give us more info
