Lucas has outdone himself!

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2005)

An absolute work of art. Very powerful. I'm eternally appreciative that Lucas finished the saga.
I could not believe that when we walked out of the theater, some members of the group that I was with were SO NEGATVE about it. But their complaints were so dumb. "Too dark." ("dark" meaning referring to the nature of the story.) "Too predictable." "Too many droids." "Special effects overdone." "Not enough action." "Too much action."
Huh?

Yes we all knew the movie was going to be dark. It's a dark piece of the story, completing an incredible artwork of tragedy, irony, and drama - an epic tale of good vs. evil.

Yes, we knew a lot of the things that were going to happen, but we didn't know exactly HOW they were going to happen...not even to mention the experience of feeling the emotion of some very powerful, tragic, and prophetic moments.

Yes there were a lot of droids - what do you expect during an inter-galactic war? Helloooo.

The special effects, the music (John Williams' music is always so moving, a work of art in itself), and the action scenes were absolutely incredible.

Bottom line.... I laughed. I cried. I was on the edge of my seat. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I am now headed straight to read the book. I will likely go to see the movie several more times. What more could you want from a movie?
