Some Star Wars Geekery

Stuff I came across while working on the coming weekend's game session...

Star Wars Episodes I-VI: The Greatest Postmodern Art Film Ever -- What "the Force" really is.

The Jedi as Ninja -- Shaky, but entertaining.

How Does Anakin Fulfil the Prophecy of "Bringing Balance to the Force"? -- Some interesting commentary in the later posts.

hmmmm.

I should force myself to watch the movies all in order, but I don't know if I can stand the first three to get to the good three. Okay, okay, that's not 100% fair. I haven't SEEN Episode III, so I can't be sure if it's good or not.

Still, there would be four hours of pain. I don't know if I could do it.

I've found the prequels to hold up better than I expected on rewatching. There are some grimace-inducing moments, but there were some of those in the originals, too. ("Less than 12 parsecs, Han? What is that about?")

Maybe just watch the parts with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, and fast-forward over the rest? ;)
