"I've seen Episode 3"

*Post contains no spoilers* (even though we all knew what was going to happen anyway)

Went to an early morning showing which started at 1am this morning (which made me feel exceptionally geeky not to mention tired this morning) and speaking in the style of master Yoda, "like it you will".

George Lucas has nearly, very nearly, redeemed himself for the monumental balls-up that is EP1. The battle scenes (of which there are probably too many if you want to be overly critical, but I guess it is set during a war) are just stunning, the lightsaber fights are fantastic, and the Star Wars atmosphere is overall a bit more like the original series of films. The way the film ties all the ends together to set it up for A New Hope is also done brilliantly, and it left me with quite a satsified feeling to finally see the kind of closure we all knew was coming.

I'll leave the long-winded reviews which break down every aspect of the film in microscopic detail to others, and simply say it was a darn enjoyable film, not quite sure if you'd ever say it was better than EPs 4, 5 or 6, but it certainly dumps over EPs 1 & 2 from a very great height.

i sew it today, it has got to be the one greatnst films i have ever seen. its brill. one thing though (for all those star wars geeks put there)
why do there eyes go red and yellow and who is the sith lord before darth sideos?

Saw this yesterday.

'Twas great! Now I just have to wait for the full box set, and I'll kill a weekend with 'em.

; }! He had the yellow lightsabre. And was really slow. He was the only one I could never complete it in single-player with though.

I was dissapointed there was no Plo Koon-yellow-lightersabre action in the film, actually.

What a legend.

Always played as him on Jedi Power Battles.

For the record, I knew what his name was before I saw the film.

Yaaay, he does say "excuse me"! I thought so!

Plo Koon!

And Jar Jar does speak. At the bit where polititions are there to meet palpatine and anakin when they come back from crashing the ship. He says "'scuse me"

And for now, lesser Star Wars geeks, I bid you farewell
