Well, I've seen it.
And it's GOOOOOOD
And thank
for that.
I'm not going to do a Jim and give plot points away... although you've probably got a vague idea of what happens... Suffice to say that Kevin Smith was right. This film has got some real emotional depth, the effects are fabulous, and it has the right "Star Wars" feel to it. Although not nearly enough Gungans died for my liking.
Empire Strikes Back has always been my favourite. I think this one comes close, although I'll need to see it a couple more times to say that for certain.
Smith wrote that he's slightly biased:
"Look, this is a movie I was genetically predisposed to love," he wrote. "I remember being 8 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, 28 years later, I finally got to see that long-promised battle — and it lived up to any expectation I still held."
