OMG. So we went to Star Wars last night, and it was SO awesome. There were Stormtroopers EVERYWHERE. And alot of cosplayers too. I wanted to dress up, but mom said nobody would. >.> I'm always right, she never gets that. Anyway. We got alot of pictures taken with jedi and stormtroopers, but not all the pictures turned out good, so I'm only sharing a few. Yep.

So we took pictures, then sat down in the theater. And these guys are SO fun to watch. We had entertainment from audience members for the whole hour, including a guy standing on another guy's shoulders and doing the macarina, two big guys running into eachother like bulls and knocking themselves over so they could wrestle, and a security guard doing lightsaber tricks. Then all the people in costumes took a big group picture.

It was really great, the experience was. But the movie...(beware of spoilers if you click)


Well, I had mix reviews on Star Wars. Watch out for spoilers….

I felt like the movie was rushed, and everything went way too fast. It’s like Lucas clipped 20 minutes off of everything when he put stuff together and then glued the pieces together. Some scenes were great, but then they went over board, (IE: The beginning scene was great, but it was kinda boring seeing nothing but ships for the first 5 minutes. Once Anakin and Obi appeared, it was alright then.

Character Reviews

Anakin- I think Anakin was portrayed great. It was devastating seeing how he turned, even though we know it was supposed to happen. He thought he was doing what was right, but he wasn’t. Hayden did an excellent job with him.

Padme- Padme has been my favorite character of the SW series since Ep1, and I looked forward to seeing her. I loved her, because she was so diplomatic and Queenlike. In this movie, I was horrified to see she was reduced to nothing but a emotional mess. I mean, I can understand why, but still. Her only scenes were emotional, and we never saw that diplomatic senator we all love. Her best line was “So this is how democracy ends. With thunderous applause.” That was the only good moment she had.

Obi Wan- I’m not usually insane over Obi Wan, but I liked him in this movie. Maybe because I felt bad for him. The whole ‘brother’ scene wrenched my heart out, and I almost started crying right there. He had some cheesy moments, some wise cracks (The elevator shaft, anyone?)…but Ewan did a great job with this character and he is now one of my favorites.

Yoda- I think Yoda was my favorite character in this movie. And that says A LOT, because he usually bores me. I think when you see the movie, you’ll see why. He was awesome, and gained quite a few laughs from the audience.

Palpatine- Well he’s evil, of course he’s not my FAVORITE. But he did a great job in this movie also. Very convincing, and now we know how he got deformed and such.

Mace Windu- Sam Jackson sure got the exit he wanted. Mace was a great character in this movie also, and I had no complains with him really.

Bail Organa- I really liked this character. He was always there when the Jedi needed a hand. Now we know more about Leia’s adoptive father.

Chewbacca- He wasn’t in the movie enough to really say anything about him. Same old Chewwy.

R2D2- OMG. R2 ROCKED this movie. He was hilarious, and very handy. His scenes were awesome, and had the audience clutching their sides.

C3P0- Same as Chewwy really. Not in the movie enough, but same old.

So yea. I think I didn’t totally like the movie because there were a lot of jokes and funny spots in there. I think it was to ease people during the really serious parts, and I did like the funny stuff, because I like comedy (like, duh. My favorite cartoon character is a wisecracking blonde) but some spots just didn’t need the funny stuff.

It was an ok movie, but it coulda been a lot better for the last movie.
