starwars: enough already

Right after we left the movie theatre, I turned to my friends and said: "Dissappointed, I was." I was trying to yoda-speak. They got it. Yes, the special effects kicked ass. Yes, the characters were not nearly as annoying as the previous two of this series. Yes, Hayden Christenson is good eye candy. But I gotta tell you, I found myself cringing at the love scenes, I laughed at Darth Sidius/Chancellor Palpatine all the time (his maniacal laughter was just too much), and there were too many holes in the story. Now, for some serious starwars nerds, these holes might not be evident. But for me, a sub-nerd, I was having some problems believing, for instance, that Padme kicked it because she had "simply lost the will to live." Like, what Amidala, you can't find something to live for in two new babies? It's a bit disturbing, you must admit. And the worst part, was after Annikin became fully transformed into the Darth Vadar character we all know and love, when he finds out that his love is dead, that he actually killed her, he gives the most pathetic, "NOOOOOO!" Why, oh why, when he turned to the dark side to save his love, would he then so easily strangle her? Give the guy some prozac or something.

Anyways, I think I've had enough of starwars. I will be content to watch the original three which I have on dvd over and over. But, enough I say. Enough.
