I know I said we were going to see it on Monday but, see, what happened was we went to see Ong Bak, right, and missed the showing, right. So we had to go and see something else, obviously, and since pretty much every other screen was showing either stuff we'd already seen or Episode 3, we had to. *Had* to go and see Episode 3. No choice in the matter at all. It's not that I'm too impatient to wait. Not at all.
I liked it. It was very good indeed. Very much more to my taste than either Episode 1 or 2. I won't say any more out of respect for not spoiling the ending (did you know Obi Wan Kenobi doesn't get killed?)
With all three films in this first trilogy actually turns out to be OK, in the end. But it still doesn't fit with how I always imagined the back-story to the original trilogy. I'm not a Star Wars geek, I'd just always had the idea of *more* back-story and that the Empire had been in place for a very long time. I was a *bit* disappointed to find otherwise but then a story told is never going to be as interesting as a story only imagined, is it?
