Greetings Earthlings!

Saw Revenge of the Sith yesterday. Was pleasantly surprised how good it was. I know it was partly because of the greatly lowered expectations I had after The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, but Lucas had some great shots in the movie like after showing Owen & Baru looking at the sunset at the end of movie. Very reminiscent of the same scene in Star Wars: A New Hope.

The thing that bothered the most was the lack of chemistry between Hayden Christensen and Natile Portman. Both have been in movies I have seen were they have given very good performances, so I am not sure whether or not it is the incredibly bad lines they had to deliver, lack of direction for the director, or just they were cast wrong for the roles.

The whole "Order 66" sequence was well done also.

Does anyone besides myself think that Mace Windu got punk'd in the way he was killed? There was some speculation in our groups whether he was dead or not. It would be cool to see adventures of him in the years between Episodes III and IV doing the ronin Jedi kind of thing. Doing good where he can staying one step ahead of the Empire. If I wrote fanfic it would make a great subject.
