Finally saw the movie tonight and liked it. Finally got to read the rest of this thread tonight, HAH! Geeks. Hayden Christensen is dreadful. Actually, he was only bad up until he caught on fire. I was grateful there was some humor thrown in. Did anyone else catch Monorail Purple of the Future? I half expected one of those giant pteredactyls to look into the camera, shrug, and say, "It's a living." Glad I don't retain enough of the specifics of the other movies to be bothered by the continuity glitches. Hated the first two, had abysmally low expectations for this one. I don't read or watch entertainment "news," and I've avoided any reviews or write-ups at all. They sure like cutting off hands. Not living near lava, I'd assume that floating around on top of it would be pretty hot. "I have a very bad feeling about this!" I still don't get why Obi-Wan, in Star Wars (yeah, I called it Star Wars, wanna make something of it?), doesn't recognize the 'droids. Could someone give me a rundown on the history of C3PO? He was built by child Anakin, and then I lose track. Poor Jar-Jar, so sad at meesa Padme's funeral. Loved the Peter Cushing-alike at the end. Why did Anakin suddenly acquire a British-y accent after being fitted with the helmet?
Overall, I really enjoyed it. I have to save my Geek Rage for the next Light Magic or Pooh-storm to hit Disneyland.
"It's a dessert topping, you cow!"
