STAR WARS
won a free red t-shirt with a simple pic of darth vader on it. amusing. fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to what?. chey so simple. i've been mad over this line for years, can never ever forget it.
movie had some weird disjointed accelerated parts. i suppose Lucas had to squeeze in a decent length movie in the middle of Ep2 and Ep4, and having to complete all the links, and sorta wrap up the story. wrapping up a story by doing the middle part is sorta suicidal.
opening scene was Fantastic though. absolutely breathtaking space battle. shall not put any spoilers since the movie has barely opened. the rest of the movie din have such a great impression on me though. there were a few minor new bits of info, but not very important.
people not following Star Wars might get lost as to what the heck is going on. with most of the characters popping up and disappearing. more like showing clips of their deaths rather than the whole long story. to fans, it's just the bringing to life of the story that we all know already. never have i seen a full length expensive movie that is just a simple wrap up of a story. no plot by itself, but just the Ending that has to be there, and which everyone is already expecting. it is a movie people watch purely for the sake of watching the End, and for the effects.
and it has such a unique and queer marketing strategy which lives up to it's own honour of being a weird series of movies that revolutionarizes the film world. being the End movie, they just sell everything before hand, sell the book(which contains the whole movie) before hand, sell the movie picture books beforehand, put so many shows on the day before Opening Day. i dont think we'll ever see any movie series like that in our lifetime. it took 30 years for starwars to get to where it is. lord of the rings lasted only 3.
ah well. if you are going to watch, you will; if you are not, you will not. there is no persuasion or dissuasion. so there.
May the Force be with you, or, too bad if you can't feel it.
