To foreshadow a character’s death but not kill off that character is the worst form of literary malpractice. It is narrative the equivalent of a doctor telling a patient he has terminal cancer and then saying, “April Fools!”
Or the forum equivalent of starting a thread claiming AOTC is good and then one month later trying to claim you were just kidding?
No, I was not kidding when I said Attack of the Clones is enjoyable.
Return of the Jedi is also an enjoyable film to watch, even if other than the throne room sequence the film rarely resonated with me.
However, some of my comments defending the romantic dialogue, such as my remark that Attack of the Clones had the most compelling romance I have ever seen, were not meant to be taken seriously.
It may have been the most compelling romance I had ever seen when I was eight years old, though. . .
