Star Wars 3

Yesterday I saw Star Wars 3! It was awesomely awesome. It showed Anakin's switch to the dark side, and how his face went all wonky and how the twins got separated.
It is my opinion that Yoda makes the show. Whoever invented Yoda should be rich right now. There's one part where he goes in to see I think Palpatine and he flicks his hand and the guards fall down unconscious. Everyone laughed at that part. Then he's fighting Palpatine. I wonder how Palpatine sleeps at night, when he attacks little 900 year old 3 foot green dudes. At the beginning, Obi Wan and Anakin go to save Chancellor Palpatine from Count Dooku and Palpatine is just sitting there, and it like, all deadpan, "Count Dooku" and when Anakin is fighting him, Palpatine just sits there. And when Anakin has his arm cut off and is on fire, Palpatine is like to some Storm Troopers "there he is. It's a miracle" with absolutely no emotion in his voice. And they're just watching him writhe in pain.
One thing I've noticed is that Anakin has a penchant for cutting off hands. I counted four in all of the movies, old ones included. He cuts off both of Dooku's, one of Windu's (or whatever his name is) and Luke Skywalker's. Like, use a little imagination and cut off another body part, like a head or something. And after Anakin cuts off Dooku's, he kills him while Dooku is defenceless, and then goes, without emotion "I shouldn't have done that. It's not the Jedi way." Maybe you had to be there, but I thought it was funny. He's concerned because "it's not the Jedi way." Not because he killed a defenceless man who had no opposable thumbs.
I felt sorry for Ewan McGregor (Obi Wan) he had all the cliched lines, like "you will not escape" and "not this time DOOKU!"
R2D2 was one of my favorite characters. He even had some fight scenes! My favorite part with him was when Palpatine, Anakin, and Obi Wan are caught in a shield or something, and Anakin was like "R2 will come and free us" or something, and R2 comes and is being chased by clones and he turns and gets them with oil (or maybe it was with electrocution. I can't remember) And Obi Wan was going to say somethin against R2 because of a fiasco with the elevator, and Anakin goes "he's TRYING!" and it was so cute, because he's defending R2D2.
What else was there about that movie? Oh yeah. I hope nobody is planning on watching this movie (I think I'm the only Star Wars fan here) but Anakin goes to the dark side because he wants to save Padme from dying, and he becomes Palpatine's apprentice, because apparently he can teach Anakin to save people from dying. Anyway, he's doing Palpatine's bidding by killing people, and the scariest part was when Anakin walks into a room full of cute little Jedi wannabes who are like six years old and one runs up to him and is like "Anakin! There are too many! What should we do?" and Anakin gives this completely evil look and turns on his lightsaber. I almost cried at that part, because later you see all the little kids dead on the floor. Obi Wan is all like "he killed younglings!" Woot, younglings!
Hmmm...what else was there to say... the only bad part in that movie was that the transition from light to dark side was so sudden I almost missed it. It's after Anakin stops Windu from killing Palpatine and Palpatine kills Windu and Anakin is all like "what have I done?" and then all of a sudden he's bad. Also, there was on scene which I felt was unnecessary. Padme and Anakin are in the council room, and Anakin goes to the window and you see a tear fall, and then Padme goes to the window and C3P0 goes up to her, and then the scene changes. So anyway, after Padme has the twins they get separated for reasons which I can't remember, and what I can't figure out is how Leia is always called princess but Luke never was called prince. And does anyone know the name of his uncle and auntie? I think his uncle is Ben. Am I right?
Anyway, I can't remember Anakin losing his arm. And at the end when Anakin is burning, and Obi Wan is watching, he goes "you were my brother! I loved you" (altogether, now: "SOB") but I thought he said "you were my daughter! I loved you!" It confused me. And another sad part was when Darth Vader gets his outfit and helmet and stuff, he asks Palpatine if Padme is okay, and Palpatine tells him that he killed her, and he goes "noooo!" and is grief stricken but really, HE DIDN'T KILL HER! He goes over to the dark side and kills children, but he still cares about Padme. It was SO SAD!
Tomorrow I am having an old Star Wars movie marathon! Woot!
So that's it for now. Coming soon is Old vs. New Star Wars. Adios!

i think Leia is called princess b/c she was adopted by somebody who was close to Padme/Queen Amidala -- Luke just missed out on his chance and ended up on a backwater planet of the universe. I'm pretty sure Uncle Ben is correct; I'm not sure what the aunt's name is. I think George Lucas was on crack when he wrote these new movies b/c they don't always match up with the originals (btw, the originals ROXORS!!!).

Duh, Leia is called a princess because everyone knew she was, and Tatooine is just in the boonies so no one knew. But he was sad because it "was not the Jedi way" he wasn't sad because he murdered someone. You had to be there, so no comments from the peanut gallery because YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE MORON!
And George Lucas didn't invent ALL THE STAR WARS CHARACTERS! For example, a concept artist made Darth Vader. Loser. You don't know anything.
We all know Ian rocks your socks. I just don't care if he's in New Glasgow by Uncle Bill or whatever, or that his friends are over. Don't tell me random things about him, because I don't care.
