saw Revenge of the Sith this afternoon. I loved it. Really one of the better Star Wars films released. If you have seen them then you really need to go see it. The last 1/3 of it is just great

I'm not a huge fan of these movies, but I liked the originals. I've been looking forward to this one because I've been hearing how dark it was going to be for years. Now, the last movie I saw in theaters was Sin City. So now I know I'll be disappointed because no matter how many limbs fly, or heads roll, this movie will seem tame.

I saw this one in downtown Vegas at 12:05 am. It was the only free time I spent not playing poker. Awesome show. I'm not taking my kids. I'll wait until DVD so I can edit for their sake.

how old are your kids Nikki. I thought that the violence in it wasn't too bad since any kid that plays video games has seen much worse

Yeah. Indiscriminate violence. Very sad, somewhat hard to watch. Still, a great movie. It really makes you understand why things are the way they are in number 4. Vader is really a tragic character.

Mine are 9 and 5. They play some pc games, but we don't have a modern console system. The pc games have some violence, but it's not what I'd call "graphic". I felt like Episode 3 is borderline for them. Some of it was difficult to watch, just because of who the violence is perpetrated on.

I was a little disappointed in it actually. I wanted to see more of Annakin's move to the dark side. It seemed like it was too quick. Too lightning striking kind of fast. I mean, he was going to spare Mace's life and turn him in because Jedi's don't murder then in the very next scene (or pretty quick anyway) he's killing children?? WTF?? There should have been more psychological stuff in between. It made me not feel tragic for Annakin and I so wanted to feel that.

Nikki, would you go so far too say that the Star Wars Trilogy is a tragedy with Darth Vader as the tragic hero? What about Episode 4 independently. Anyone else feel free to respond, I'm just a hopeless English student.

That's what I was saying above. I wanted Annakin to be a tragic hero but it was hard to sympathize because they made the good to evil switch without us seeing any torture that caused it. To be a tragic hero we have to understand that while the character is doing something wrong we might have done the same in his shoes. We have to see the torture of the soul. They didn't give us that in Episode 3. IMHO.

Renae, but wasn't the scenario surounding his child be cause for tragedy? The possible death of a loved one can alter the mind so that it might do anything to save that life. It seems to me that he then became the human tragic hero we find in art.
