Oh God what I geek I am, Goobye all..

Heh, I guess you're right. Especially since the line itself is an absolute!

I'm not sure how much of it Cassidy got, really. None of it seemed to faze her, so she clearly missed a lot. Um, I hope, anyway. Unless she's just a cold-hearted little demon child.

We're going to see it again Sunday, so I'm guessing she'll catch a lot more then. Right now she's cuddled up on the couch reading and absorbing the RotS picture dictionary. She made me hide it for the last month. If she didn't understand that Anakin killed the kids last night, she'll read it in the book in a few minutes......and probably get it on Sunday.

As much as she wants the story to be real (I can't even tell you how many times she's wished on a star for a REAL lightsaber), she's entirely aware that it's just fiction. Mentions it all the time to her dad. Kelly will be taking something too seriously, and she'll remind him that it doesn't actually matter since "it's just make-believe."

Ohh for lost oppertunity...

How does this sound:

Palpatine: Anakin the dark side of the force has the power to create life. Search your feelings Anakin, you know this to be true. I have created life, Anakin I am your father.


Now that would have been fun.

Any competent parent will know that the films need to be watched 4-5-6, 1-2-3.

I think of you more as Shimmer. It's a floor wax AND a dessert topping!

and of course to watch it properly, you'll have to get the vcr out(to watch the original, untampered versions).....watch the kids scratch their heads in wonder about that......

Nah...if you're me, you just have to fire up the old laser disc player

(BTW I read a review somewhere recently that said the laser disc editions of 4-5-6 were the best and still original versions out there.)

LETTERBOXED. None of this panned-and-scanned crap.

Sorry Moony, but that's even lamer than the ambiguity they put in where they infer that Palpatine created Anakin. Why all the links, the virgin birth, blah blah? It's like he couldn't come up with new characters so he just made everything far too linked. I'm still pissed about 3po and R2....it's as if Lucas loves too dearly, that he'd do anything to see his favorite characters again, that he's too controlling to let go...

Sounds familiar, eh?

BTW, was thinking about how Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were talking after the end of this movie....if you were Obi-Wan, what would you say?

"Master, it's good to see you again, but DAMN if you didn't force me into the most sucktastic situation ever. I had to give you a promise on your deathbed, for crying out loud, and because of you I've unleashed the Sith onto the entire galaxy. Yeah, I'm just a little bit miffed."

Doesn't Obi-Wan seem like he should have blamed himself more for the total enslavement of the galaxy? Don't tell me he's so down with the Force that he doesn't feel guilty.
