The lost link

CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Star Wars is part of my life.I spent my childhood playing with star wars toys and watching those movies where the impossible became true.Star Wars is my generation's mythology. 16 years after ROTJ, the saga was back.The times were different,the people reactions,too. All we loved star wars thought that new movies could have been better. And i have to say that i watched TPM 10 times,but... I told my friends that Lucas had many things to tell us in Episode III,maybe too many... When i watched the teaser trailer of TPM in 1999 i felt like a 5 years old boy,then i didn't have that feeling again with the two prequels (although it were good).I didn't have that feeling ...till now.
All my doubts were absolutely erased by the powerful images that mesmerized me on May 19th. After the first 25 minutes (Palpatine's rescue),the rhythm was too slow,i thought.It was an illusion (i didn't have this impression the other 4 times i saw the movie that weekend). The last 45 minutes are the best proof that Lucas is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Since the famous "order 66" to the end, the action and the drama are bigger than life. My eyes couldn't believe what were seeing. The two final duels are outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The image of Yoda and Palpatine going up from emperor's chamber to the senate is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And what can we say about Anakin and Obi-Wan fight? Impossible making better.It's better than i could imagine (and as Han Solo would say "i have big imagination").At the end of the movie our hearts are broken, the siths rule the galaxy,the chosen one is in the dark side,and jedis have to hide,all is lost,but in a sand planet there is someone that will be a new hope... Thanks George for making me feel like a child again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks George for this masterpiece!!!!!!!
