Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith

spokeSo. Last night, I finally went and saw it. And I give you a possibly silly but well meant review thereof. ...with slight cussing, but nothing major. >>
It was not perfect, but frankly there was no way that was going to happen. Except in some happy alternate universe. ;p
I loved Yoda. Yoda kicked ass.
Padme annoyed the heck out of me, she really did. At least she was pretteh in her many outfits? :P
Obi-Wan scared me. Terminally naive about Anakin, and dude walking away from Anakin like that? Was low. He should have put him out of his misery, but to leave him to suffer like that? >:/ I don't care what he did, I don't care what Obi-Wan saw him do and was thinking he'd done - it was wrong. >.<
Palpatine? Was perfectly, utterly perverted and creepy. I love how well it comes across that there is not a thought that goes through this man's head that is not mocking/lustful/manipulative - just completely corrupted and corrupt-ting. Which was how he came across to me in the first movies, so it was nice. If icky.*is not even thinking of looking for like, Palpatine/Anakin or maybe Palpatine/Luke, as that would be wrong*
...I have to mention Obi-Wan and his lizard on the one planet. I don't even remember its name at the moment. ;p I did not care, for Obi-Wan had this coool-looking lizard to ride, that reminded me of Dragon Booster only with feathers too! That thing was so cool! ^^
Also General Grievous. When he outs with the four lightsabers and goes after Obi-Wan? Woot! Very believable that Obi was in trouble, there. o.o
The saddest moment of it, for me, was the musical montage showing the Jedi going down. I had wondered, how it was they were going to pull that off. And it makes sense, and it... it got me, what can I say? :/
Yoda. Yoda sensing this shit going down, and making his move so as not to get killed. >.< And here's me wondering, how many others survived that way, sensing before it was too late? How many of them sensed it and it did them no good, surrounded and outnumbered the way they were. Thoughts running through my head, of the tangled taffy that is Star Wars canon, even what little I know of it, not having kept up with the more recent books.
Yoda rocked. That fight with Palpatine? omg. And I find myself thinking that it is a pity that the most badass Master left is not human and lustable - and then thinking, "Okay, ewww! This is Yoda! Bad thoughts!" But really, that's exactly the way he came across to me - "Does it, this has. Pissed am I. Handle the kid you shall, Obi-Wan, while throw down with the Sith Lord I will."
And he did, too! ^_^
It's just... I have to question the wisdom of going for it one on one like that. There was no way. And really, I could probably go into endless spirals of the what-ifs and how-tos of this mess, except I'm sure it will all be worked out in fanfic eventually. ^^
Anakin. Anakin got to me, too. Not that I didn't want to kick his little face in for this? I mean, Massive Cliched ScrewUp Times Ten! And I groaned when he accused Padme of cheating on him with Obi-Wan. Ugh. >.< And let's not even mention buying that he'd killed her. :x
But. What came across very well, was this angry confused insecure teenager, this utter kid who was not emotionally equipped to deal with the stuff life was throwing at him. Over and over, looking at things and seeing how someone older or just more mature would not have fallen into this.
Although, for maturity? Obi-Wan doesn't score too high either, screaming at him and walking off. >:/ Can you tell I was p'od at him?
Also, I kept thinking about the future, about Obi-Wan meditating and attempting to commune with Qui-Gon, omg <3. I'm not even sure what I think about that, beyond the initial "That seems stupid, and yet Squee!"
About Yoda, whom I have loved ever since Dagobah, and Luke showing up there. And, and too old to learn my butt! He's saying that, and thinking : "Teach you I will not. Remind me of your father, do you. Creepy it is."
XD And force-ghost Obi-Wan, thinking at him: "Hiii Master Yoda! Look, look I did it! ...oh, and he's not Anakin!" ...Great, now I'm going to have an image of force-ghost Obi-Wan, waving and smiling, stuck in my head all night. XD
One last thing. As I was turning onto the interstate to head home, this song comes on. And I actually looked down at my radio in shock, because it is so completely and perfectly Anakin. From the Jedi, to the Dark Lord, to finally turning on Palpatine to save Luke. I will never be able to listen to this song with picturing Hayden, now. In his angstyness and surrounded by fire.
Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds
You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
What if this whole crusade's
A charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on
Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees? [8X]
