Hey all. I went the the midnight show and like most of you I was very dissapointed. I went again this afternoon, and I have to say I feel MUCH better.
In order to appreciate a song, you have to listen to it twice. I think the same goes for movies. My second viewing was much more enjoyable. I wasn’t totally bombarded with all the crazy stuff going on. After last night, I felt the same as most of you guys did. About General Grevious, The Qui-Gon thing, The ‘fast turning to the dark side’. But after seeing it again, it seemed different. More fun. And that’s what it is all about, right?
OK
Some things I was dissapointed in…
We never found out why, when etc. Obi-Wan starts using the name Ben. “I haven’t gone by the name Obi-Wan since oh, before you were born.” Now, while this is not major it still bothers me. If Obi-Wan changed his name to protect himself, don’t you think he should have changed his last name?
Luke: “Do you remember your mother? You’re real mother?”
Leia: “Just a little bit. She died when I was very young.”
Luke: “What do you remember?”
Leia: “Images really. Feelings.”
(You know the rest)
How could Leia remember that? She was like 2 minutes old. Ok, I know what you are thinking, because of the Force. How come Luke can’t remember anything?
In ESB, while on Dagobah, Luke says, “there’s something familiar about this place.”
I was hoping we would find out why. Nope.
When some Jedi die, they dissapear. We find out why. But not really. I Was hoping for way more on that.
Anakin never says that he wanted his son to have his lightsaber. Obi-Wan just takes it.
Any thoughts? If I think of more, I will continue.
