....Look, this is a movie I was genetically predisposed to love. I remember being eight years old, and reading in "Starlog" that Darth Vader became the half-man/half-machine he was following a duel with Ben Kenobi that climaxed with Vader falling into molten lava. Now, twenty six years later, I finally got to see that long-promised battled - and it lived up to any expectation I still held ... "Sith" doesn't happen; "Sith" rules.

With all of the violence, maybe Lucas finally realized it's more important to please the original fans who have made him filthy rich than to please a new young audience.
Besides, any 6 to 8 year olds who became new fans when they saw Phantom Menace in 1999 are 13 to 15 now and can handle the material. Parents are the ones who make the decision now for any kids younger than that, not George Lucas. Thankfully.
BTW, I wonder if Jar Jar gets killed too? Cross your fingers.

I don't want Jar Jar killed. I want Jar JAr to be tortured, and then publicly slaughtered by slow disembowelment...

I actually can't wait to see this one, unlike the previous two prequels which I still haven't seen yet, although I'm going to watch the Phantom Menace DVD this weekend. And I'm sure I'll catch the Clone Wars too before the 19th.

I got really amped up by reading through Kevin Smith's column. I love the references to how Lucas has linked up III with IV (the original Star Wars film), such as (finally!) breaking down the pristine cgi look to a more 1977-ish set: the original space barge where Darth made his "first" appearance all those years ago, as great a space villain as ever there could be.
Yeah... I'm looking forward to this one, all right. This might be the one all of us old school geeks have been waiting for.
