Still Holds Up

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2019)

I had the great pleasure of introducing this to my grandson for the first time. He had been watching the pretty darn good Clone Wars animated series and had been asking all kinds of questions. We actually started by starting the full series in chronological order, starting with the unfortunate Phantom Message. Neither of us could make it all the way through episode two and mercifully skipped to the much more watchable Revenge of the Sith. Watching Episdoe IV right after was super cool. Well, clarification, watching the original version without all of George Lucas' horribly executed "enhancements" was super cool. Obi-Wan is pretty much the only likable character in the first three episodes and (spoiler alert) watching him killed by good old Darth was so much more emotionally potent having experienced the full backstory. And now my grandson is asking "hey, how come Luke and Anakin have the same last name?" Lucky for him the best movie of the whole franchise is coming next!
