I saw the final episode in the second trilogy of the Star Wars Saga today.
I liked it; it was a good end to the abysmal trilogy, and it filled in the only back story that anyone cared about: how Darth Vader came to be. I’d say that Lucas could have escaped all that ridicule if he focussed more on that story, instead of his esoteric tangents on trade embargoes and such that hurt the first two episodes.
I’ve written before about how Star Wars has been around my entire life. My troubles with this trilogy have at least something to do my age: I’m more critical of things like acting, dialogue and plot, rather than being captivated by the magic of the story. This film brings back the magic. The scenes where Vader is made are excellent and just as chilling as you’d want them to be.
Go see the movie.
Mild Spoiler Alert
The part that got a chuckle out of me was some dialogue on the lava planet:
Anakin: “ If you’re not with me, you’re my enemy.”
Obi-Wan: “ Only a Sith deals in absolutes.”
Anakin’s line sound familiar?
