Yes, the entire world has seen Star Wars….

… And some folks even have cute things to say about it. Like Mark at InfiniteBabble… If I were Obi-Wan, I’d probably have spent the entire movie glaring at Anakin and snarling “You. Utter. Moron.”

My thoughts on the movie? Hmmm…. it actually made some of episode 1 make sense, the Jar Jar time was limited but still too much, seeing Yoda surrounded by proto-stormtroopers was creepy, seeing him commanding them was even creepier, and the music at the end should have stuck with the proto-imperial march. Going from all that foreshadowed gloom to the happy-hopefull theme on the end credits was not right. Things are bad and they are only going to get worse and. We. Know. It. Happy music and a cute secret wedding don’t change the fact that just about everyone is screwed.

I wanted to see Bail Organa get more lines.

And Mr. Lucas? You’re a great director, but you are not god’s gift to screenwriters. Give someone else a crack at the dialogue next time, eh? Please?
