Especially McDiramid's "Unlimited POWER!!!!!!" as he throws the lightning back at Mace Windu.

The haunting, unearthly sounds and the lighting were utilized wonderfully. My favorite delivery of a line is "he could influence the midichlorians to create...life." With the subtleties in his face as he glances at Anakin and the tone of that last word, I felt I was witnessing the work of a great actor.

Deep stuff. Deep stuff.

Why don't you think about this:

Anakin had dreams of Padme dying in childbirth, which was the major reason he joined Palpatine and the Sith, to prevent this dream from becoming a reality. HOWEVER, it was ultimately Anakin's turning which caused Padme to give up her will to live, essentially causing the very death seen in Anakin's dream.

Yes, those memories are all he has left. In the end, the story of George Lucas' life has a tragic ending indeed.

Still, the man has a hell of a legacy; be it good, bad, or ugly.

You left out the line that follows it: "Only a Sith deals in absolutes."

And yeah, calling epIII politically slanted is stupidity at its lowest form.

It just goes to show that sometimes you can bring back a show and not have it be a flop.

Maybe George Lucas should take a lesson from the creators of Family Guy.

I was surprised they could use the exact music (because of copyrights and everything). Then again, the show is made by 20th Century Fox.

PS. I loved the part where Peter faced off with the chicken again. They fought for like ten minutes!

The best part was at the end with Darth Vader standing in line as he is practicing his lines. That had me in stiches.

There's a great article about the directors who are advocates for making films in 3-D.

I thought it was interesting that they had Vader standing there with his arms crossed at the end implying that he really does have some sort of role in this film instead of just being the end of the film.

Anyone know the running time of this movie?

It's too early to say the running time because the film is probably still being edited. I'm hoping that it's over 2 and a half hours. You can't fit everything episode III has to tell us in the running time of an average Star Wars movie.

I believe that Troy was one of several movies made in the wake of Lord of the Rings, along with such movies as Alexander and King Arthur. Of those, the only one I managed to see was Troy, and that was at a friend's house. To be honest, I didn't really know what to make of the film. Sadly, the positive aspects of the film did not manage to rise above its weak casting, dull screenply and punishing length, resulting in a film that was (can I really avoid using this word?) very mediocre.

I actually liked star trek 5. I havent seen any of the newer films (First Contact, Nemesis, Insurrection, etc.), which is strange because I am a huge Patrick Stewart fan. Those movies aside, the Wrath of Khan is my personal favourite. You can't beat Ricardo Montalban's melodramatic performance. Probably the best Trek villan ever!
