So I finally saw Episode III

[innerSpaceman]

I'm not even going to buy the DVD of Episode III, and I have all the others. That's how badly I thought it sucked.



But ... (warning, plug ahead) for a really interesting film about the Star Wars fandom line mania (of which I am a part), there's a new DVD release of Star Wait about the fascinating 6-week marathon line-up outside the Chinese Theater for Episode II of Star Wars back in 2002. As a veteran of all five Hollyood Star Wars lines, I can attest that the 2002 line was the best, and Star Wait captures the energetic essence without being all geeky and StarWarsy.

You can check out the Star Wait website here and you can buy the DVD here or at your local Target store.


(I'm a minor character in the DVD, but I do not get any proceeds of sales. Nevertheless, that was indeed a plug)

Why specifically did you hate it? And do you agree about sweet little anni being an unlikely candidate for Darth Vader?

I wouldn't go so far as to say the entire thing sucked. It was visually impressive, and entertaining to watch. There were even a few touching moments.

Nevertheless, it could have been much much better. They really failed with the dialogue for the most part. One part that I'm still irritated about is when Samuel L Jackson says, "So the prophecy says!" With such sarcasm that I wanted to punch him in the nose. They also really failed with Luke and Leia's birth. That could have been very touching but instead it was just eh.

Shame on you George Lucas!
