A confession

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.

Do you think they'll get James Earl Jones to voice him again?

I heard a scary rumour a whiel back that Lucas was going to redo all of the dialogue from the original trilogy so that he could dub out James Earl, and replace Vaders voice with whatsisface Christians.

I think it was just a rumour though.

I think so too. The trailer I saw had a final scene of Vader on some sort of procedure table, with dialogue overdubbed of the Emporer saying Lord Vader, arise! And it was JEJ's voice saying "Yes, Master."

Months ago they made a big deal of having JEJ do the voice of Vader. I like the idea that when Anakin becomes Vader he becomes a different person.

You know, in a way... the minute he's in the suit - he has become a different man.

*sniffles at the tragedy of it*

Well, he literally sacrifices himself up on the altar of power, giving up the last vestiges of his humanity to become the physical embodiment of the Dark Side. You need a voice like JEJ's.

LOL, dude, Lucas may be in his own little world but he's not that crazy.

No one's that crazy.

I mean you can't lose Mace Windu and JEJ in the same film.

Nope.

You've seen what he did to the Han Solo / Greedo scene in the revamped version of the original star wars right?

He ~is~ that crazy. :)

Solo shot first. Period.
