kristenskStar Wars Episode III: Ahhhh... Finally saw Star Wars. And, I wasn't disappointed. It was good... intense and rather dark, but good. There were some parts where I had to look away... not so much afraid of seeing blood and gore, but mostly because I knew what was going to happen and I so badly didn't want it to happen. And, of course, it all had to happen. But, Seeker had warned me about that (he saw the movie last week, the lucky, evil boy). And, the rest is behind the cut.
The only real downside was that Anakin was... well, Anakin, and I can't say his descent to the Dark Side really quite worked for me. I'd have liked to have seen a little more time taken for him to feel some remorse and then definitively put it aside and reaffirm to himself that he was doing what he thought he had to do. But, oh well.
Obi Wan, Yoda and Bail Organa made the movie for me though.
Obi Wan, in particular, was wonderful. I was disappointed in him in the first movie, started liking him in the second, and by this one... Obi Wan was awesome! He was easily the character I felt the most for.
The other details worthy of random fangirl squealing were:
Chewbacca's appearance
Yoda's fight with Palpatine
Obi Wan's cool-looking riding lizard
The brief glimpse of Alderaan
Probably others I'll think of later
Random Personal Chatter: The other news of the day is that Discovery Channel is coming to the auction my boss is holding Saturday! (In case anyone didn't know, I work for an auction/real estate company.) They're doing a program on buying real estate, and they called last week about filming some of the auction. Sadly, I probably won't get to see any of it as I'll either be in the main office or out on the floor clerking the results of the antique and whatnot sales. The real estate will be auctioned in the back room. Still, it adds a nice little bit of excitement to things.
