Dear Journal/blog
Just got through watching SW3 earlier, and I simply must say that even now to this day it remains one of my absolute best and favorite movies of all time. It was hands-down one of only 10 movies I cried in, I was in the edge of my seat for, and stood and applauded once the movie had concluded. Regardless of what some fans had said and what some critics had said about the movie, that movie is by far the best of the six films.
I remember that I had waited in line forever to see that movie, and that for the west coast, I had got tickets to the first showing. Everyone was pumped and I was definitely excited. I was wanting to see it mostly for the saber duel between Anikan and Obi-Wan. Those of us that had read the books knew just how nasty and hard-fraught this battle sequence was. I was not disappointed, I loved every heart pumping moment.
Now many cried at various moments in the movie, but I'll tell you what part made me cry the most. That was seeing Owen, Luke's Uncle, standing just outside that little house of theirs on Tatooine (spelling?), ala Episode 4 where Luke is standing watching the Dual sunsets. The pose, the lighting, everything was perfectly reminiscent of Mark Hammall standing there watching the exact same sunset 17 odd-some years later worrying about the future. THAT made me cry. I suppose it was because I also knew it was going to be the end...no more....no more star wars....
Ah well, Star Wars and Trek Kick ass!
