Aww... I was hoping you had the perfect date and then the perfect date report from this saga.

I'm glad you put the spoiler alert in there....because I never would have realized that he committed himself to the dark side.

someone goes to the dark side?

Do you get to see the conception scene of luke and leah??  LOL

Actually, the ratio of males:females was probably 9:1. I don't think the males really noticed the females, either. The screen was split at the beginning and people were HOWLING! They adjusted the screen just as the scrolling storyline appeared. I thought they would riot if they didn't fix the screen in time! It was great, though. Four sold-out theaters and everyone was abuzz as the movie let out all at the same time.

My nephews (7 and 11) have tickets for 4pm today. They're very excited! I can't wait to tell them I saw it already. They thought they would beat me to it! HAH! They underestimate their zia.

And thanks for that last thought! Very humorous.

I saw a very interesting "making of Star Wars" documentary on A&E last night. If it is re-run I think you would enjoy it. Studio execs didn't take the movie seriously and came close to cancelling the project twice. The budget was very tight, and the actors struggled with Lucas' dialog, but Sir Laurence Olivier brought credibility to the film and inspired everyone to stick with it. The documentary has some un-edited footage with David Prowse (Vader) and Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) speaking their lines.

I am glad that you had a good experience, and now you can move foward

I saw it today. Much better than I expected.

Ewan McGregor does a fantastic job of playing Obi-wan.  He's the actor who really holds the movie together.

The F/X and CG is way better than any of the other Star Wars movies.

It's a very dark movie with lots of battles and the violence gets a little heavy.  The PG-13 rating is about right.  Lucas did a great job of getting all the loose ends tied up.
