Star Wars!

So I went to a midnight showing of Episode III with some friends last night. All I can say is...

KICK ASS.

Lucas made up for the relative suckitude of Eps I and II with this movie. It was a non-stop rollercoaster ride the whole way through. And it leads beautifully into Episode IV.

I'm going to have to see this again in the theater before its run is over. And I'll definitely be picking up the DVD when it comes out!

There was lots of fun before the movie, with fans dressed in costume doing mock lightsaber battles in front of the screen... Unfortunately, it seems that all but two lightsabers were low on batteries! Still fun, though, and lots of cheering from the audience.

No spoilers here; it's still too early. Just go see the movie and get blown away. It's worth every penny even at the outrageous ticket prices these days...
