The Obligatory Episode III Post

Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Mace Windu - names that could only come from the mind of Lucas
Lem, Oliver, and I should really dress up and pose for a photo like this. (enlarge)
Update ah, the wonders of Photoshop can make wishes come true. (before and after)

Did Lucas redeem himself from episodes I and II? I think so! But then, I didn’t think episodes I and II were that bad (I’m easy to please).

Chesney and I saw Episode III with the cousins over the weekend, and it was just as good as everyone has been saying it is. Sure, there was cheese, but not a lot of cheese–certainly not as much love cheese as in II, and thankfully even less Jar-Jar. This is also the most action-packed and least light-hearted Star Wars. The best thing about this movie was getting to see how it really tied into Episodes IV, V, and VI, tying up any loose ends and questions that we had from watching the original 3 movies.

It’s good. Highly recommended. Lem and Oliver liked it too.

This movie also reinforced what a theme of all tragedies throughout history, from Macbeth to King Arthur to well, Star Wars:

The downfall of a man always lies in a woman. Heh.

    All I can say is, “Mac is the MAN”!

  2. Oliver

    Awesome. It’s always the woman that brings the man down. If it weren’t for Padme, Anakin wouldn’t have cared and just killed the Lord Sidious.

    Come on now … you can’t resist Padme. I would have quit the whole Jedi thing to be with her. In the end, it was Anakin’s fault for being stubborn and weak-minded.

  4. Tim

    True…especially when she said “You’re breaking my heart.” How can you resist that?

  5. Mac

    I wouldn’t have fallen for Padme. She’s super-boring.

    The photoshopped Lem brothers is awesome! My only complaint is that Tim’s body looks a bit too big compared to his head.

  7. I just have to wonder why you made yourself Vader.

    I also wonder why they have their lightsabers ignited if they are just standing there. Ah, publicity shots.

    Nice job.

  8. Do you use a 3rd party library for parsing User-agent strings? I’m suprised it knows my Galeon.

    Yes, it’s a WordPress plugin. I converted to wordpress by the way…maybe I should upate my about page.
