Thursday

at least jar-jar didn't have a speaking role

So is the new star wars movie some sort of commentary on the rise and fall of the united states? here's one commentator that seems to think so: Everyone Loves Vader

I saw the movie yesterday, and here's what seemed fairly straightforward to me - Anakin-soon-to-become-Darth Vader sounding a lot like Bush:

Anakin: "If you are not with me, you are my enemy."
Obi-wan: "Only Sith Lords deal in absolutes."

let the over-analyzing begin.

overall the movie was ok if you like lots of light sabre fighting (why does that still impress everybody? it's only fun for me when yoda does it, cuz i like to see muppets kick ass)- the shameless pandering for cheap laughs (lucas usually has multiple instances of these) was the wookie scene where they made "tarzan" sounds. Ugh.
