This story comes via Slashdot from the desk of Ghent on the new Star Wars blogs. Ghent’s 7-year old son had interesting observations regarding the original trilogy after having watched the prequels: “Look… Obi-Wan is pretending he doesn’t know R2-D2.” “Is Chewbacca the only Wookiee that survives the Clone Wars?” (with great concern) A lot […]

Can we sink the Titanic? It’s too early to say, but many other records are going to be rewritten within the next few days as Episode III takes on the world.

George Lucas had the following to say about the political context of the film: “Because this is the back story, and one […]

Just saw their early review on TV; overall they love the movie but are not impressed with the dialogue. Following points stood out from their review: Overall probably the best Star Wars since Empire. Dialogue is clunky, pedestrian. Dramatic moments lose some of the effect because of limited power of the dialogue. Though we know […]

Two weeks until the final film of the saga! I’ve missed out on a lot of the pre-movie hype this time (life intervened), but that has left me absolutely spoiler-free.
