I didn't expect anything from the movie and it turned out quite alright.

The one thing that bugs me is Padmé death. It fraks up my knowledge of canon. Didn't Luke once ask Leia about their mother and she replied that she was always sad? I thought Padmé remarried and died when Leia was still very young. Or am I dreaming this? I see why she has to die in this plot, but the blanks I filled in in the origina lseries just do not seem to match with what they show here. In my head, Vader didn't know about Padmé's pregnancy. She hid it from him. Of course if he did know, then yeah, he probably has to believe she and the babies are dead for it to work. Still... am I dreaming this? Or is Lucas going to make a new edition of the trilogy yet again to cut the scenes at are no longer canon now?

But in the end, the movie is HEAPS better than the first two. Which really isn't all that hard considering how bad they are. Anakin was a little less annoying (although I just can not warm up to the actor). Padmé had nothing but to be pregnant. I love the clones, really I do. Can I have my own clone army, please? Yoda kicked ass. OMG, the scene where they destroy all the Jedi was just... I'm not sure what the word is, but it nearly had me crying. Especially when Anakin walks into that room with the younglins and that little boy comes out of hiding and asks for help and then you see Anakin switch on his lightsaber. Gods. Just... *sighs* Poor Yoda.

Dude, Obi-Wan should have just kicked Anakin in that lava stream. While I adore Darth Vader in the original trilogy, I just can not like Anakin. Bah.

Getting in the movie was an adventure too. I was going to meet with my sister there at 16:30. I got there half an hour early and bought my ticket (she had told me not to buy for them too so I didn't). I was keeping an eye on the seats. They were playing the movie twice at 17:00 and once at 17:30. Only one of those (at 17:00) was a digital version (the one I bought a ticket for). It seemed most of the sessions had attracted very few people. Still 450 seats free in both versions at 17:00 so I don't worry about them not getting any seats. Until it's suddenly 16:30, my sisters hasn't shown up yet and in five minutes time both sessions at 17:00 are full up. Major freak out, of course my sister her mobile is turned off. Then it seems the screening I was going to watch is suddenly no longer in the room it says on my ticket. When my sister shows up, I'm like "dude, there are no more tickets and only a few left for 17:30!" Apparently the digital projector broke and they needed to bring the two sessions together. It was no problem though, I could go to the 17:00 one or the 17:30 one, whichever I preferred and my sister bought tickets for 17:30. Strangely enough, while the girl claimed there were no digital screenings anymore, we still ended up seeing a digital one. And dude, this movie was anything but full. I think they just didn't have a big enough audience and so they decided to show it in just one room instead of two and made up some lame excuse. Apparently all screenings for the rest of the evening had already been sold out though.

Ugh my puter is slow.
