Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith...

[fajrdrako]

Not being much of a Star Wars fan, I had mixed feelings about going to see this, but my curiosity overcomes all other considerations.

I have always liked three things about the Star Wars stories:

1. Han Solo
   
2. the concept of the Jedi
   
3. Qui-Gonn and Obi-Wan in Phantom Menace

In contrast, there are three things I have always hated about Star Wars: the dialogue, the aircraft chases, and all the other characters.

I found Anakin particularly annoying in the previous movie; not in this one. I was able to sit back and enjoy myself. I thought it was a kind of odd, though, to have a series of movies that comes right back to the place it all started. It didn't allow for surprises. I ought to have been shocked, shouldn't I, at what Anakin became? Instead I was expecting it all becasue we saw what he was in the original. Perhaps the oddity was wrapping three big-budget movies around the story of the villain.
