Musings on Star Wars

Finally got around to watching Star Wars episode III this afternoon. Although Scott went to see it in the theater and bought the DVD as soon as it came out, I just couldn't propel myself to watch it until I was good 'n ready. I have to be in a "mood" to watch movies that have a lot of action/fighting sequences.

I will say that I was pleased that George Lucas tied episodes II and IV together pretty seamlessly. I didn't feel like he was just tossing in a lot of crap to make the series end nice and tidy. Everything made sense, and given that most people who've seen episodes IV-VI would know that certain people get killed off, it didn't feel terribly predictable.

Good movie. I will say, thought, that because I saw Space Balls before I saw Star Wars, I never really thought of Darth Vader as an ominous character - even with the James Earl Jones voice. All I could think about was Rick Moranis in that big-ass helmet. Not so much now.
