OK, I finally decided to watch the Star Wars movies, in order...have seen snippets of all six, but never entire movies, back to back, in order. I was a bit apprehensive after vowing to do the same thing with Lord of the Rings and ended up deleting them after I could not make it through the second one, though I tried four times. There is only so much walking, walking, walking I can put up with...the only thing I learned from this was the Dominic Monaghan was cuter in Lost, Sean Astin was better in Rudy, and Elijah Wood bites his nails.
Anyway, back to the Prequel/Endquel of Star Wars. Not a bad back story, answered a lot of questions, but I do think it kind of reminded me of another movie...I mean, when that horrible old Chancellor told all his cronies to act on "plan 66", I had flashbacks...you know, like mobsters getting gunned down in the street, and Moe Green getting shot in the eye while getting a massage...seriously. I do not imagine many people feeling the same, as most of the people who watch these George Lucas extravaganzas were not even BORN when The Godfather was made...I have a son that is now 33 and finally admits it was one of the best movies ever, after I FORCED him to watch it 6 years ago when I was visiting him and we were bored.
