How can you be 5 foot two and be a Wookie? I'm thinking Ewok, maybe. Or Jawa.

The "Five foot two" was just an illustrative example. I'm a tad over 6'3".

Um, yeah. Wookie.

Hellooooo up there!

(and after re-reading your post, con cafe, I realize you did say "tall")

Maybe I'll go see this after my farmer's market today. I'm heartened by the fact that you don't say not to go. Anyone in H'wood and environs want to do "Thursday at the Movies with the Commodore?"

I'm a little nervous about taking my boy after hearing that but we have tickets and it is the last episode. Looks like we will be having a long talk before and after the film!

It's going to be a long movie, good thing we will have our star wars M&M's, a bucket of popcorn and lots of soda. We'll all be hopped up on sugar, wheeee!

Movies feel like they are getting longer and longer, maybe they want you to feel like you got your moneys' worth!

For a more explicit "parents guide" surf on over to: "What might scare the pooo out of the kids"

I'm waiting to screen it first, too. Lucas had said early on that this was not a kids' movie. In fact, I don't think my son has even seen episode 2 yet.

For myself though, I'm really excited! I'm still contemplating leaving work early today...

I took my 11-year-old who was fine with it; all the violence was suggested, really, not shown. It wasn't a perfect movie, but I really enjoyed it. Yes, it was dark, but also a lot funnier than the first two in this trilogy. The special effects were beyond imagining...I'm still amazed at the first 7 minutes: holy cow!!!

As to the line, both Steve and I gave up on it fairly quickly, wishing for a true line for Star Wars. I spent under 40 hours there, and he was probably around that, though he stopped signing in as well. We both ended up at the Dome at the Arclight, on the standby list, but with pretty good seats I believe.

I'll let Steve post his response (which was negative over on our other board) and I'll post my reaction to that later....

Name Title Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: here Posts: 779	Just came from the theater, my quick review of the film is in the spoiler tags below: Spoiler: I liked the film, better then the episode I and II movies. In retrospect on my trip home, it occured to me that none of the movies were really necessary to the plot, no real mysteries were solved, at least nothing in my opinion that made the movies necessary for anything other then to ease the fans desire for more. So, as a movie, ep III was good, enjoyable, and well done(at least better then the previous episodes). The acting was enjoyable, at least on first viewing seemed better to me then the previous episodes. But I don't think there really is anything that surprising in the movie, spoiler-wise, we already know that palpatine becomes emporer(sp), we know that vader was luke and leia's father, etc etc etc..... but for the purposes of providing the fans with the visuals to go with the backstory that was discussed in the original trilogy, it was good. If you are going for some epiphamy style surprises, I don't think you will really find those, but if you just want to have a good time, and complete the story as it is thus far, then in my opinion it is worth the ride.... just my $8.00. __________________ Signature
