the circle is now complete 



Rather than add my two cents to the endless supply of Star Wars, Ep. III commentaries, I'll just say this: FINALLY! Okay, maybe I'll say a little more. Lucas has redeemed himself (at least somewhat) for the heinous mistakes of the past. I liked Revenge of the Sith a lot; it's easily the best of the prequel movies (though, in many ways, it doesn't really compare to the holy trilogy). I read very little about the final installment prior to its release, but it's clear to me that Lucas must have enlisted a little help with the script. The dialogue wasn't nearly has hokey as Eps. I and II, though there were a few lines that made me think, "Yeah, George wrote this scene for sure." Personally, I think Ian McDiarmid stole the movie. What a great actor!

Anyway, ROTS did a good job of filling most of the little holes. There are still a lot of unanswered questions, though. In a week or so, after most everyone has had a chance to see it, maybe I'll post a list of these questions. I've already seen it twice, and I'm sure I'll see it once or twice more before it leaves theaters.

Post Script: Yanyang was able to see Ep. III last night. Her thoughts: she liked it, thought it was very exciting. But ultimately the story was a little too tragic for her, I think. Her favorite characters: the Droids and Yoda (of course).
