Star Wars

I have tickets for opening night. Frankly though, Episodes I and II were letdowns, they were alright films but not as good as I had expected from the Star Wars brand. The fights and the visuals were cool, but the dialogue... Well, that was never Lucas' strong suit. And Jar-Jar Binks, enough said. Underwhelming is the word I guess. So I really really really hope that Lucas got this one right and that the series can end well. I guess we'll always have the original trilogy. Still, I remember the excitement when it was announced that he was going to do the prequels, and I remember all the anticipation leading up to them. Perhaps the prequels had impossibly high expectations, but nonetheless, I hope that this one is decent.
