Saw it yesterday. I have mixed feelings.
- Yoda? The little green goblin rules. The High Noon duel with Duka was priceless. It reminded me of an old Clint eastwood movie right before the fight started. Yoda's hand was twitching. Leading the troops in the final battle scene was a nice touch.
- Portman? Definitely effible (yet again.). but the love story was a bit too overplayed. Who cares? Fuck him and get it over with. We all know how it's going to end up. and Ikea - I also thought Anakin was about rape her.
- The Obi Wan character was very well acted.
- There were alot of subliminal jokes and messages all through out the movie. I'm sure some geek who sees it 800 times will post them on the web somewhere.
- A lot of plot lines started to become clearer. We see Vader's evil coming out. We are introduced to the "aunt and uncle" that bring up Luke Skywalker. We find out the origin or BobaFet. (cloning yourself and calling it your son - that IS a little demented)
- I'm curious if the "clones" turn into "storm troopers" though. I didn't think they were one and the same. Do they turn heel with Anakin in Ep.3 and join him?
Overall - not bad. It wasn't what I was expecting. All the hype of "it's better than ep.1", "lucas redeemed himself", yada yada yada bullshit.....it didn't pan out. I'd put it at just a little above ep.1.
