My thoughts on…Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
I know, I know, I’m posting this when the Episode III hype is all but died down, but I just got my blog, and I need to voice my opinion, what do you people want me to do? Anyway, I love Star Wars. Seriously, I LOVE STAR WARS! I want to name my first son Luke, just so that I can say, “Luke, I am your father!” One of my biggest fantasies is to be Darth Vader for a day. George Lucas in my eyes is the greatest filmmaker of all time. So you see I’m quite devoted.
When I heard about Episode III, I was happy, yet concerned. When I heard it was the last Star Wars movie ever, I got even more concerned. The modern Star Wars films were disappointing. Episode I was mediocre, and Episode II was good, but not great. But when I saw the ads, I knew it would be awesome. And so it was. It made $849,429,355 worldwide. It got rave reviews. It even made the cover of TIME. It was the big ending that Star Wars deserved. But why didn’t it win an Oscar, or even get nominated? People say it’s because of Hayden Christensen’s acting. Me, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because George quit all of the guilds (the Writer’s guild, Directors guild, etc) and this is their way of getting back at him. But who the hell cares when you’ve got mad money? Ka-ching!
