A confession

[quesarah]

Okay, I know that I've guffawed, criticized, and generally pooh-poohed the last two Star Wars movies. But god help me, I'm actually excited about Revenge of the Sith. I've ooohed and ahhed over the advance reviews, watched the trailer, and secretly been just been giddy about its release. I haven't had a rational explanation for it until now:

It's Darth Vader.

The 7 year old in me who was wide-eyed over the first movie back in '77 is breathless with the anticipation of seeing The Villain of my childhood back onscreen. I want to see Anakin's final fall to the Dark Side and his transformation into Vader. The sight of that suit of armor, the helmet, and James Earl Jones' voice. Dooooode.

Frankly, Vader has always been my favorite character in all the SW films (until he wimped out in RotJ), so his return to the screen this summer will be quite sweet to me.

Me too. My second-favorite character was Chewbacca ('cause you just know he was giving everyone lip) so I'm doubly excited that he will be in this episode.

Nice to know we will be treated to both Scary and Hairy in one film.

Indeed. Now we just need to have some Snarky and we'll be all set.

sod the snark - id settle for jar jar having a light sabre shoved up his arse, then turned on...

You forget to whom you're speaking. There's always room for snark.

oh yeah - i agree totally.
i just want to see jar jar die, as painfully and horribly as possible.
whisper is that the huys over at ILM also hate the guy, and even before shooting started on ep3, they had created some rather grisly death scenes for him - just on the off chance they were required...
