But what made the movie for me were the slew of little humorous moments and geek-friendly details that made the first three films such a pleasure to watch and watch again. I’d buy the Sith DVD just for the R2-D2 comedy set piece at the beginning of the film, for the four-lightsaber twirling Grievous attack, and for the way Yoda turns into The Terminator on a few occasions. Not to mention the incredible descent of Anakin from whiny bitch boy into intergalactic bad ass.

So yeah, it was good. Damn good.

And well worth my 12:05 AM showing.

I enjoyed my 1201 showing thoroughly. It was a great experience, especially with the high volume of nerds in full face paint and fighting light saber battles at the front of the theater. It definitely made me feel better about myself

yep I had two full rows even though we were the fifth theater

All had lightsabers, it was crazy.

No reward is worth this

Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper?

We better hope the old man got that tractor beam out of commission or this is going to be a real short ride

Stay on target. Stay on TARGET!!!

JGAC · May 26th, 2005, 08:21 PM

Look at the size of that thing!

JGAC · May 26th, 2005, 08:25 PM

Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?

Ishkur · May 27th, 2005, 01:58 PM

Who's scruffy-looking?

Good... I hate long waits.
