its so true!!

i remember going to see that at the midnight showing in my hometown.
i had school the next day but my parents let me go anyway just because i was such a star wars fan.

i remember feeling so empty when leaving the theatre. only two parts of the movie kept my attention. pod race and final battle. but there were so many cringe worthy moments. obi wan falling from like 10 stories and landing on his back only to jump back up to where he fell from?? when could jedi's do that?

i remember that really killing the mystery of jedi's for me.
they lost there mystery and grace. now they looked just like action heros.

i remember telling all the kids at school the next day that the movie was so great though.. of course i was still in hype denial. i remember they all gathered around me at lunch to hear what i thought. and of course i hyped it up even more for them. from that day on i will never let hype get in the way of my true feelings.
