Of Episode III : Spoilers Ahead

Well since everyone that has seen the darn movie seems to have blogged about it. I shall too! No everyone will know what I have to say about STAR WARS EPISODE III : The revenge of the Sith!

Watched it in GSC Midvalley, chosen mainly because of their THX system! WOW! Blow my brains out! Probably about 10% different from other cinemas. Or well at least I don't know how to appreaciate good sound systems. Or maybe I just haven't been to many movies in the past months!

Ok well to sum up the whole show,

"Annie's a bitch and Obi's the One"

I'm breaking this down for easier reading. STOP READING IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED THE SHOW YET! SPOILERS AHEAD!

Padme

Padme is a really ditzy love-struck old pedophile. First off, Anakin is like,.. SOOoooo much younger than you! Way to go cradle-robber! And then, her taste in men go into the homicidal and crazy variety. Anakin polishes off a whole village of Tusken Raiders in Episode II and she still loves him and goes goo-goo over him. In Episode III, he wipes out a whole temple full of Jedis, massacres a bunch of children, turns evil and develops the trademarked "evil-eyes" and STILL theres apparently some good in him, to Padme of course.

Your husband is deranged! Move on!

The Jedi Council

The Jedi Council is of course another silly collective of super powerful nitwits. A whole council full of masters and not ONE can identify Darth Sidious. Senator Palpatine = Darth Sidious. Is he able to mask his force so effectively that not even the Green main-man Yoda can detect it?

And sometimes one really wonders just how "Master" are these Masters. 4 Jedi Masters go to confront Darth Sidious in his lovely executive office. *swish* *swash* *swoosh* Three are now piles of meat marinated in medichlorians quivering on the floor. Whatever happened to these MASTERS??

Mace Windu dies a horrible death here. But at least they remained true that Mace is a master swordsman (sabersman?) and did not lose to the Palpatine in a Light-saber duel. I'm not sure if Palpatine was play-acting his weakness or was he indeed defeated but Mace's death was a pity. Well at least Jango Fett is AVENGED!

The Jedi Killer

In the animated series THE CLONE WARS by Cartoon Network, General Grievous is an unstoppable combination of lightsaber combat and unearthly mechanical agility. He slays 5 Jedi in the series but over in the Movie, he falls to a Blaster shot from ONE Jedi, albeit a master. I am hoping that THE CLONE WARS II will explain his coughing fits and constant need for that silly cloak of his.

Obi-Wan

The reason I choose Obi-Wan as the man-of-the-match is because he not only defeats Grievous, but also kicks Anakin's ass in the grand finale battle. Well yes, he did get tossed aside by Count Dooku (Darth Tyrannus) but that was insignificant compared to his Victories.

The part where he turns anakin into a limbless charcoal stump was a little amazing and funny in a sadistic way. Honestly I would doubt anything could stand the environment of that volcanic planet without a life-support system. The heat alone, the stench of brimstone and sulfur would overpower anyone / anything. The fact that Obi-Wan could still trounce Mr.Evil Limbless is an added mystery.

Obi-Wan's the MAN all right. Not Mr.Annie-Lovedrovemenuts.

Finale

I did like the finale,.. the overall ending where they try to tie in Episode III to IV.

They introduced Leia Organa's father, the Senator Organa and Alderann which later gets blown to bits. They also bring in Wedge Antilles, a future Hero of the war and leader of Rogue Squadron. Chewbacca is introduced on Kashyyk. R2D2 and C3P0 stick around and get mind-wiped to explain their sudden amnesia in later episodes. Also Obi-Wan's ability to become ONE with the force is explained as something learned from his former mentor Qui-Gon Jinn in his astral form.

A good end to a good tale. By far the best of the Episodes I and II.

And GOOD GOD! Anakin is DRESSED in BLACK! That makes him EVIL!! DUH! GROW some brains Jedi Council! He's already violating your dress code.
