This Is How Starwars Dies
Quote of the moment:
"This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause." - Amidala, Revenge of the Sith. George Lucas may not be a great dialogue writer, but that wraps up a lot of history in one line.
I thought the film wasn't as bad as the critics said, although very heavy on the digital backgrounds, but they were probably judging it against the standards of the original trilogy rather than films in general. The Padme/Amidala and Anakin/Vader subplot was obviously pants, but the epic duel between the newly renamed Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi was brilliant.
On the way out, myself and Jimmy saw some suprising hats on a pair of Cineworld ushers. He was too embarrased to ask the 'fittie' so here's the bloke instead, complete with silly hand movements:
"Can't touch this..."
Jealous, Jim m8, jealous. That should obviously be a World Of Warcraft cap, not a War Of the Worlds one.
We decided on the way home that Yoda looked better as an animatronic puppet, but as I pointed out they'd have had to do the fight scenes like Wallace and Gromit, frame by frame. Cue joint singing of the Wallace and Gromit theme all the way down the dual carriageway. Yoda trivia: he's voiced in all 5 films he appears in by Frank Oz, normally the voice of several of the Muppets.
The most [roll-eyes] worthy moment of the film was this:
Grievious: "...Young Skywalker, I would have expected someone of your reputation to have been... older."
Anakin: "General Grievous, you're shorter that I imagined."
AREN'T YOU A LITTLE SHORT FOR A STORMTROOPER?!

Agreed.
I think, along the lines of all your base, there should be a remix of Hammertime called SabreTime, with classic clips of lightsabre fights played at just the right speed that the strikes match the beat. That'd be the best DVD extra ever :p
