Not Long Long Ago, and definitely not in a Galaxy Far Far Away

I am not sure how many of you out there are Star Wars junkies. I am not one of them, although I did wait in line at the Movie Theater for 5 hours when Episode 1 launched in 98/99 (I was one of the dumb freshmen then...What do you expect?). So please forgive me when I spill out my honest opinion about the recent Prequels in the Saga -- They were amazing in effects and visuals, but totally-omni-fantastically-ubiquitously sucked in content. Episode 1 had Jar Jar Binks, and Episode 2 was just one big light-saber swingin Robe wearing Geek Orgy. (Or should I say, Illuminated dildo swingin gay slumberparty).

Episode 1 was a torturous experience especially after watching 4,5,6 (great movies!), and then waiting 5 hours in line... and then MeesaJarJarBinks comes along... and we all go "WTF???" Episode 2, I watched it just because every one else had seen it, and well Natalie Portman is kinda hot... not as much as the Original Princess Lea. But it was kinda Ewww to watch Queen Amidala and young Anakin hit on each other... cuz he is so much younger. (Just for the record, I feel the same way about Michael Douglas, and Catharine Zeta, so please dont shout sexist at me).

But, Episode 3... I am not quite so sure if I feel the same way about it. It's releasing this weekend, and from the Preview-reviews (Tongue Twister :)), It seems like this movie might be worth watching. Especially since the Washington Post draws similarities between the movie's storyline, and the current events happening. I have to admit, I am totally biased towards the Leftist view, and if there is a movie that can subtly bash at the Bush white house... I HAVE TO WATCH IT!!! Supposedly in the Movie, Anakin (Darth Vader) says to Obi Wan... "You are either with me, or you are my enemy"... and Obi-Wan replies "Only a Sith thinks in Absolutes!". Does anyone remember vaguely something that the president said before the Iraq war..."You are either with us, or against us"... and this from the president of the USA. What a fkin Dumbwit:) Anyway... I am gonna watch this movie, if not the first show, atleast the first week its out.

BTW... Heres the link to the Washington Post article.
