It's Official, George Lucas has fallen from grace

Oh Man!! The gaps between my posts are getting longer and longer. Must not lose focus, must stay calm!! Too many temptations...Must not be weak!

Was lucky enough to watch Star Wars III : Revenge of the Sith on the 17th. It was a special preview for celebrities, press, and radio. Anyway I'm a really big Star Wars fan , so much so I never understood star trek. Anyway I was looking forward to the final chapter in the Star Wars saga, Anakin's fall from grace, the rise of the empire, and the fall of the Jedi's. How was it? It SUCKED!!!

I'm sorry but there's no other way of putting it. it was lacking in so many ways. It was like a Bollywood movie with lightsabers. And Anakin!! How on earth ( or in this case tatooine ) did you end up as Darth Vader?! You shame Darth Vader!! You whine non stop! I thought all the whining would end it episode II but I was wrong.

Everyone was looking forward to the inner struggle and temptation the dark side would cause. Did it happen? A bit. Here's how it basically went :

Emperor : Skywalker! Use the dark side..Embrace it and you will be more powerful

Skywalker : ..........It's....... Wrong...I cant

Emperor : Join the dark side of the force..

Skywalker : .......No..

Emperor : you must!

Skywalker : .......It's wrong...I cant

Emperor : you must!

Skywalker : ..............No..

Emperor : well, ummm..As a benefit you'll be my right hand man when we conquer the
universe since your left hand is actually an artificial limb, oh by the way you can save your wife Padme...

Skywalker : OH! Ok then...Master

?!!*&^%^&*#!.......

that's it? Now your evil? Now your Darth Vader?!

George Lucas..You took the short cut making this movie. The movie was a visual extravaganza, but the story was just lazy story telling. I wanted an onion ( different layers with tears all the way through ) what I got was like a lollipop ( something to suck on between meals )

OMG, the lines in Episode III are awful. I must say that it would be a better movie if it was a silent movie. But I have to admit that I like the fight scenes...light-sabers rule!!! Portman's acting was on the poor side but fortunately, Christensen did a pretty good job being the evil Anakin.
Episode V rockz!
