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.

I know exactly how you feel. I swore repeatedly that I wouldn't get excited about the third one. The first two were bad enough that it was just another film to me. I'd watch it but I wouldn't care too much.

Then the damn trailer started showing. And the excitement was impossible to resist.

The trailer should end with George Lucas making an appearance and laughing maniacally shouting "You're all my bitches!"

the movie itself should end with GL standing up and making a public apology for jar jar binks and the fucking midichlorians!!

And now here's 'Jar jar binks and the fucking midichlorians' with their new hit 'bend over and take it, bitch.'

Yeah, that works.
