Episode III: Revenge of the Sips

Darth Vader - Way cooler without knowing him as a human.


Well I saw the movie last Saturday night with my fiance, and Robdeadskin. I wanted to have a big, tall glass of Star Wars; but all I wound up having was a few good sips. It's sad, but I quasi-disappointed. Although, the cheesy acting almost made it all worth it. Rob felt that it was disappointing as well, but he was glad to see it and complete the journey. "A" enjoyed it, except for the two high idiots she had sitting next to her (Rob and I).

Funny thing is, I think Lucas purposely made the first couple movies for the kids, and the last one for adults. So it was a win-win-win for him as you get great sales from the kiddies loving the first two episodes, and the hungry for the dark side adults ready for episode III. Unfortunately, Lucas tried to shove way to much info into this last film when he should have pieced it in slowly through the last two. That way we would have felt a lot more of a connection to the story, allowing us to digest it better.

But no, we are forced fed how things happen with plenty of overacting and cheesy lines. There were just so many loop holes, but Lucas hopes you are so razzel dazzled by the effects that your mind thinks of nothing but the magic unfolding before you. Don't get me wrong, it was fun. But it should've been so much better. What can you do? It's a movie.

Cost for three tickets: $33 dollars.
Cost to see Darth Vader act like Godzilla: Priceless$.
Me and Rob almost pissed ourselves laughing when this happened in the movie. No one else was laughing, and maybe it was because we were stoned, but I watched the part again because a friend burned a copy of the movie onto a DVD for me already and the part is still funny. Why did he just believe Palpatine? Couldn't he sense he was lying?!?! Lemme' tell you something. The guy who played Anakin did a much better job in this one from the last. But I will never think of him inside Darth Vader because he is such a Larry. What a dork this kid was, I mean he was a little baby in the last movie and now we have to except this bitch being Darth Vader. I feel nauseous.

I think it would have been way cooler if Anakin was a young black guy that turned into James Earl Jones. Now that would be cool, except Luke and Leia would have to be mulatto, but still. Wouldn't you totally except James Earl Jones as the real Darth Vader? One of the cool parts was seeing how Darth Vader was made, because I truly enjoyed watching the guy who played Anakin in pain. Whatever, I'm a total dork.

All in all, it's cool. Just don't hype it too much in your head like I did. I heard everyone talking about a surprise ending. People on the news were coming out of the theater like, "I am not telling you the ending! It was awesome!" I thought the ending was abrupt, and what the hell was so surprising about it. This was a gay post, I apologize.

Thank you S. for the illegal copy of Episode III. The time bar at the top is fun to watch whenever I get bored with the movie.
