Star Wars, from a woman’s prespective.
Star Wars, from a woman’s prespective.
First, over all…I liked it. It was entertaining. That is the main reason I go to movies.
Second, the first half hour was retarded. I really hate the way the droids have taken on so many human characteristics. And that Grievous guy…was he droid or not? Can droids have Emphesema?
Third, it was very sad. Whether or not the Dark Side needed to be brought into balance or not, the whole process was heart wrenching. If the dumb Jedi’s can sense so much, why didn’t they sense that Anakin was flipping and try to pull him back? (Save Obi-Wan) Are the storm troopers immune to Jedi sense. Shouldn’t the Jedi’s have known before they were killed something was wrong. If you ask me, I’d rather have Spider sense than Jedi sense.
Fourth, how was Padme dying and then 5 seconds later delivering babies. Whatever. I hate childbirth on film…it is never realistic.
Fifth and finally, how can you go wrong with Ewan?
Nuff Said.

Hi Sweetie… I love reading your blog..you are so funny! (did ya go play tennis in Costco?) I would pay to see that..and probably joined ya for a set or two. Just wanted to check in..I forget what a telephone is because I don’t really use it anymore. Oh.. are ya up for a new scrabble game yet? That’s what I look forward to everyday. (me boring) Pretty sure that last game is null & void.. & someday soon WE GOTTA GET TOGETHER. No, seriously…we do. oxoxo Kat

1. me too
2. you crazy, the first half hour was bad ass movie making at it’s badassedest. grievous is an alien cyborg, part flesh, part machine, and we assume his lungs were a flesh part.
3. don’t chicks like sad movies? the jedis can’t sense the activities of the dark side because “the dark side clouds everything.” they can see the immediate future to improve their reflexs (move faster than a blaster beam), but they can’t “know something bad is going to happen” a la spidey sense. master yoda can delve into the force through deep meditation to see most people’s true motivation, but only the weak minded can be read.
4. i agree, the last 15 minutes of the movie was like a checklist of thing they needed to show.
5. i don’t get it.

Elaboration on #3: In normal circumstances, they probably would have seen the stormtrooper attacks coming (since they don’t necessarily have dark side powers), but as I’ve said before, the Jedi as a whole were blinded by overconfidence. I think that in a couple of scenes they showed them basically look behind them shortly before it happened, but just not enough time. Yoda was the only one who caught on; maybe because he was paying more attention or maybe just because he wasn’t already in the middle of a battle, like the others.

I definitely would have liked to see the Jedi get duped a bit more cleverly. They came off as a bunch of idiots. Although that would have probably required more than 7 lines per scene which evidently was the max that George Lucas was willing to allow.

i’ll submit my vote towards a more consistantly clever approach to the whole last 30 minutes of the movie. just because it wasn’t as clever as the other five doesn’t mean it didn’t rule and wasn’t a better movie.

Oh, hee hee.. I should probably have commented on the movie instead of my own agenda of “foo foo” stuff (I guess I’ll just e-mail ya next time).
Having NOT seen the movie yet.. I think I shall use the “bloggy force” to determine whether it’s a renter or I should get a babysitter. Hmmmm…conundrum it is. Idiot Jedi warriors or just to drool over Ewan… I mean Obi Wan. Tell me oh dr. Stryker, Jared B & Nate… the force is not so strong with me… YOU’RE MY ONLY HOPE. oxox Princess Kat
