The Star Wars Episode III - World Premier Show Last Night

- May 20, 2005

The saga is complete. Last night I just seen the world premier of the Star Wars (Episode III) - The Revenge of the Sith, and it’s a thumbs up for me, even though I am not a Star Wars fanatic but it captures my attention especially the visual effects of the movie. The two big battles - Anakin against Obi-Wan and the Emperor against Yoda was the highlight of the movie for me. I was really entertained by the two fight scenes. I had only watched the episodes I, II, and this time III – The Revenge of the Sith, the prequels of the total 6 episodes and if this is to be the last big-screen installment of the space opera, damn! I need to watch its other half three parts, the Part IV – New Hope, V – Empire Strikes back and VI – The Return of the Jedi, which was the First to be shown some other years back and I didn’t saw it Ohhh… man! They said you need to watch it because that was the last part of the story. My Star Wars saga was not really complete; I think I need to look for CD’s of the last 3 episodes.

Revenge of the Sith doesn't really answer any questions to those who are Star wars fanatic, since they know the answers already. Anakin Skywalker is seduced to the dark side of the Force and becomes Darth Vader. Chancellor Palpatine is revealed to be Darth Sidious. The Jedi are annihilated. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda go into exile on different planets. The democratic Republic is devoured by the Empire. Instead of answers, what they gained from watching Revenge of the Sith is details. This film, the 6 episodes are like jigsaw puzzles, you can start anywhere and that’s what Lucas did in this movie. He started first on the last three episodes, then last the first three episodes which complete the saga. In this episode Anakin’s wife is pregnant and gave birth to the twins (Lea and Luke) on the last part of the story. Revenge of the Sith features two classic confrontations: Anakin against Obi-Wan and the Emperor against Yoda. We may know how the Anakin/Obi-Wan duel ends, but the thrill here is seeing how it plays out to get to that ending.

While watching the movie, what happens was while Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin’s fight was on the scene, the sounds system of SM cinema 2 was busted, damn!!! And they stopped the movie for a while for around 1-2 minutes. I just said “common this is a premier show and this is what we experienced?” Well anyway everything is under control, it’s just a matter of technical error or something but my Star Wars adventure that night was awesome, it started around 11:30 pm and I got home around 3:00 am. Thanks Tabby for the ticket. Heheheh…
