*Official* Star Wars III thread

[faith]

Went early afternoon on the 18th (late night 17th/early morning 18th in the states) to a center seat with a theatre having only 20 people in it. Some days, it's great living in Bangkok!
Loved it! No way possible for anyone that has been waiting for this film for the past 20 years to be satisfied. But it was real close.
Everything was just on such a massive scale:
The traditional Starwars limbloss- 5 arms and 2 legs was it?
Dropping the lightsabers
Leading lady not carrying tyhe dialog (it's in leah's gene's- that's just the way their family talks Natalie really captured the essense necessary to hold that tradition)
Huge battles everywhere- guess these moveies really should be called "Starwars"

Mostly I loved the transition in the overall feeling in the movie from light to dark/industrial. Many people complained that the first two didn't have that dark feel of Hope & Empire- but of course they didn't- they started out light and gradually shifted through the second and then massively in the third. Sure the first was a bit too light/ with cheesy comedic aspecs, but change a couple alien races and the droid army and you're left with a film that introduces the SW universe quite well.
Just as many didn't like the lighter feel Jedi had when it came out. But the SW world was again shifting, whether it was intended or not, It's great that the overall feel to the movies changes along with that.

I gave it an 8... I don't think a 10 was possible with less than 3 hours- aniken needed a more gradual transition
