Listening to: "The Unerasable Sin" - Nana KitadeYay, I finally saw Revenge of the Sith!! Despite a couple things, I loved it. Was I the only person who was thinking: "Noooooo Anakin!!" throughout much of the film. I really sympathize w/ Ani, but maybe it's b/c I read some of the book which delves deeper into his character. We're a lot alike: arrogant but insecure, trying to do what's right, rash, moody, too trusting, over-emotional (though our fears are bottled inside), and bad news when our trust is broken. I know people didn't like Hayden's acting in Attack of the Clones, but he redeems himself here. Some of his lines are still awkward, but I think that's part of Anakin's character. He can't quite express what he feels. Yes, some of Hayden's delivery is flat, but he makes it up w/ his facial expressions. Especially his eyes; man, can he look scary.
My other criticism was that Anakin's transition to the Dark Side seemed quick. It was like going from "OMG I killed Mace Windu. What have I done?!" to "Yes, Lord Siddious." However, that can be forgiven since R2D2 and Yoda kicked so much butt (even though Yoda failed to kill Siddious). Oh yeah, Cheewy was in there! Yay for the Wookies. I actually liked Obi-wan in this b/c he was so uptight, and he himself was struggling to do the right thing. He really believed in Anakin.
Check out this cool Star Wars personality test. It's really accurate b/c it's based off of a test psychologists use. I got Wicket for openess, Han Solo for conscientiousness, Wampas for extraversion, Darth Vader for agreeableness, and Tusken warriors for neuroticism. Basically, I'm open-minded, reckless, introverted, neither good nor evil, and extremely temperamental.
Random quote of the day (from what else but Episode III):
"You have allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind until now... until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy." - Obi-wan Kenobi (a great Jedi master...he visited me once in a dream and provided some good advice...I'm not kidding)
Revenge of the Sith!!!
