Star Wars!

Magnificent ending to the entire series of Star Wars. The story, many of us have known weeks before the premiere, and who is to become Darth Vader has already been history. Yet, we throng the cinemas to see the hate, anger, confusion, love and desperation which drove Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side, his emotions and soul twisted by the Chancellor Palpantine (a.k.a. Darth Sidious).

The best part of the movie wasn't the fighting sequences, nor the overwhelming use of CGI, but rather the final few moments in the movie, where we see the death of Padme, the rising of Darth Vader, the handing of Leia Skywalker to Leia and the handing of Luke Skywalker to his foster family. Scenes are taken from Episode IV, so much so that it seems to be a fitting gesture and "Thank You" message by George Lucas on supporting him (and his franchise) for thus far. The memories...live on.

Chronicles of Narnia comes next ;)

Side-note: If you watch the trailers of the arising of Darth Vader, look carefully. It is shown that his hands are above his shoulders, but in the movie his hands are bound by his hips ;)

Current Mood: Happy
