Just back from the new Star Wars movie with dreamsquirrel. Two short thoughts while I do a longer write-up:

( No, I am your father! (er, spoilers ahoy.) )

So. Revenge of the Sith. I saw it largely unspoiled, so I haven't read any other discussion of it yet. I can't tell you whether it was a good movie or not: I was watching it as an old-school Star Wars geek, not a movie-goer. To an old-school Star Wars geek, it was *awesome*. I'll have to see it again later to tell you if it's any good or not. (I hated Episode One when I watched it as a Star Wars geek, but as just a movie, after my pain from the midichlorians had time to scab over? It wasn't without good points. So it's possible that this one is the opposite, and I only liked it because it confirmed all my fannish preconceptions.)

( We're all OK: Previews )

( For light does the darkness most fear: On bringing balance to the force. )

( I knew it wasn't ever after: On the movie as movie rather than myth. )

( But they're not yours, they are my own: Random fangirlishness )

Note that all these opinions are subject to change after a good night's sleep and/or another watching of the trilogies. q:
