I have written an episode three review but I'll not be posting it here. This is because I now have my own website for my articles and writings. It will also be featuring work by Sime and Slade. You can find the site and the review here.

Saw your site...

The other day I saw a Che doormat at a big box store. Not sure if it was meant as an insult, but it was meant to be profitable. I wonder how Che would feel knowing the indignation that his likeness, of which no royalties are paid to the original photographer, an injustice, are being used by capitalists the world over to wrench some bucks out of salad days college idealists, wannabe radicals, trust-fund hippies and plain ignorant people.

Your review was perfect. I forgot about the half hour of commercials!

good review. I thought the same about the opening space battle until I saw it again and it was a lot clearer what was going on the second time round.

Great review. I found myself a bit ansy in the beginning too, too much happening (cant say Im all too fond of buzz droids either). But about half way through I started to enjoy the movie much more than the previous two. You are correct in saying it has the OT quality....up until Vader's Nooooooooooooooooo. What did you think of that?

You got to see a Narnia trailer before ROTS? No fair.

Great review, I agree with just about everything you wrote.

It does look nice. "The new LOTR!" as the studio executives (surely) said.

That looks AWESOME! If you've read my post in "Should the PT have been made" this is a likely candidate to make my 2 "kids" films into 3!

SPQR- I've sent letters to several places that sell CG stuff, asking them just how much of their profits they give to the comintern or to groups in favor of lifting the embargo, or other such causes. I've yet to receive any reply from them. I've read most of Dr. Guevara's books and try to live up to that image. But yeah all the comercials at the cinema really pissed me off.

Jariten- I liked the action, and Anakin did show some skill as a pilot as well, I just thought it was a bit chaotic but I'm sure in future viewings I'll be able to make sense of it. Just when you first see it it hits you kind of hard. Usually in an SW movie you get a bit more preperation before going into full on space battle action.

Michel- I thought it was a tad theatrical, but for the last SW movie I think the ending is allowed to be a little over the top. It seemed kind of well placed to me. I think if you look at it with the idea that Lucas is trying to create sympathy for 4-6 Vader it makes a lot more sense, showing him as a weak and tormented character.

HeckHouse- Thanks. The Narnia trailer looks awesome. I havnt been that effected by a trailer since ep1.

HK47 - Really glad you liked it, I felt almost a bit guilty for liking the movie. It started out a bit odd but Lucas really got his act together in the last half of the movie and I was glad for Jar Jar's absence.

Jariten- I definately want to see that film. I loved the book and previous movie incarnations so I'm definately going to look into it.

BadKarma- It was incredibly intense for a trailer, which is really a good sign. The trailer itself was a great piece of art.

Yes, it was a great trailer.

Isn't that work allegorical? I was surprised by the Disney connection. But then there was the eventual spelling out of the title of the series, laying the groundwork for what they hope to present as the next LOTR (SW comparisons aren't what they used to be.)

I think Narnia is going to be a bit more fun and light hearted than LOTR was. It's kind of like the Star wars to Star Trek. I mean LOTR was very canonical, and there was a great deal of history and character knowledge needed to produce it properly. I think Narnia will be more straight forward but still just as good, so in that way you could compare it to SW.
