Excellent Movie - Also Read the Book

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2005)

Before seeing the film, I would recommend reading the book which was based upon the movie and Lucas's storyline. This will give you some insight into the goings on in poor Anakin's head. The guy is just so obsessed and pig-headed that he doesn't realize that once he become Darth Vader (duh!) he won't CARE about saving Padme! No kidding. Meanwhile, Sidious/Palpatine doesn't even say that he KNOWS how to do this whole stopping death thing, he's going to "figure it out" with Annie's help. Annie just is not paying attention to anyone! You really thought you'd be able to stay a good-guy? Um, no. Also in the book, you will be able to understand, in depth, the relationship between Obi Wan and Annie. These men are best friends who love each other and would die for one another. The fact that the two duel is the proof that Vader is NOT Anakin. Anakin is lost. (Until 15 minutes before his death in Luke's arms, of course). In the book, you read exactly what is Vader's first and foremost thought after regaining consciousness in his new "body": IS PADME ALRIGHT? WHAT HAVE I DONE!! Thus the "NO!" Come on guys, really. You need to at least read from page 339 on. I beg of you. If you could read 20 pages of IMDb comments to get to this one, you can handle a little book. PLEASE! I can't wait to see this movie over and over until I get my fill. Bravo Lucas, you're a millionaire! Ps - this would be an excellent tale to compare to the story of Jesus (for those of you still in college!) Here's a small hint: Immaculate conception . May the Force be with you. When you die, you become the force. HELLO
