Sith Happens ~

just got back from Episode III ~

some thoughts with no spoilers for those of you seeing it this weekend:

1.) i think george lucas got a clue and listened to advisors/fans this time.

2.) it's gratifying to see the saga "end" (makes you want to watch 4,5, and 6 again).

3.) serious flaws: continuity holes you can drive a mack truck through; missed opportunities for a few really cool images; one really lame cgi creature (he just couldn't resist, i guess).

4.) serious improvements: letting the actors act; toning down the cgi nonsense; no jar jar; great action sequences; some nice design tie-ins to 4, 5, 6.

i give it a thumb and a half up with a handful of caveats for the die-hard fans.
