Hmmm a title? MONDAY!

Before you read on please be aware that this post may be a bit of a spoiler if you have not already seen Stars Wars Episode III: Revenge of The Sith (Those Bastards).

I went to see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith yesterday, actually it was the day before yesterday(Saturday) as this blog is being published in the early hours of Monday. So what did I think? I thought it was good. Not Return of the Jedi good, but compared to Episode I it was a masterpiece. It was so cool to see how The Emperor got all fucked up though, I always thought it was just because he was one evil son bitch.

I didn't think any of the light sabre battles were that fantastic as I knew the outcome of most of them already. I think that was a big problem with this episode, it just ties up loose ends and explains how some shit happens. Don't get me wrong though, I did enjoy it. There were a few little subtle bits that I enjoyed. I also like the way Anakin was seduced to the Dark Side out of a desire to save Padmé which can be seen as selfless, which is what Jedi are all about, but really it's quite selfish as he wanted to save her for himself and how The Emperor told Darth Vader (formerly jedi extraordinaire Anakin Sywalker) that Padmé was dead which totally cut him off from his past but also left the door open for Episodes IV, V and VI. Yeah so it was good but not fantastic. Its important to point out, however, that this movie increased, even more, my desire to own a light sabre.

As an interesting aside Return of the Jedi was originally called Return of the Jedi, yeah no surprise there. BUT a few weeks after production started the studio and Lucas decided to change the name to Revenge of the Jedi as they decided the movie needed a sharper name. It was only a few weeks before release, after all the promo shit had been made, that Lucas decided the Jedi weren't about Revenge and decided it should, after all, be named Return of the Jedi. (And probably also because he knew he couldnt have two Revenge titles in the one saga. George, you legend!)

Yeah so this post is way bigger than I thought it would be. Sorry I haven't been around much lately but I have been recuperating from illness and exams and generally doing nothing of major import as I have not had the energy.
