A Small Something

Novell is an awesome employer. Over the years, they’ve given me opening day movie tickets for several movies, including the last three Star Wars movies. Two or three departments bought out two showings yesterday afternoon of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Rachel and I went and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were times when I rolled my eyes because the dialog was so cheesy and canned, but the overall story was very good. Other than a silly fight on a giant river of lava, the action was engaging and entertaining. The characters and creatures were interesting this time–not annoying. Overall, it was a nice ending to the six-part story that started when I was ten years old. Back then, it was cool to compare with your friends how many times you’d been to the theater to see the original Star Wars movie (three for me that year, then once again when it was digitally remade and re-released in theaters). This movie brought back some of the same excitement and energy that was somewhat missing in episodes I and II.
