To make it more like Episode IV in style.

My biggest concern though is WHAT was up with those obviously Powerpoint transitions? Did they run out of money and decide to do the entire thing as a slideshow?

D.Vader in a laundromat waiting for his outfit to come out of the machine. You hear the machine clunking and hear a very wheezy breathing. DV sitting there with only one mechanical appendage. No legs, no skin,, no hair, can’t breath, one arm that needs batteries, eyes sort of bleary, watching the machine tumble his suit, wondering if he made the right career choice.

I went to see SWIII without expectations and was not disappointed. I have heard others say “now it all makes sense”. Where have they been for 25 years? There were no revelations for me, except who Leia’s adoptive parents were prior.

Not a bad movie as special effects go but sort of – hohum.

Did not see all those GLARING alusion’s to Bush as the emperor of the evil empire. (With a bit of imagination, I could say that there were possible parallels.) Much of the acting seemed wooden. I was not impressed. That probably makes me a heretic.

My wife and I did not even discuss it on the way home. That was how impressed we were.

All that said, I think it is almost an expectation that a person go. So we have gone, got it out of the way and can go see other movies without feeling as though we have somehow neglected our cultural responsibility.
