Episode III - 4 out of 5

My better half had a workshop for the first part of the day.

We then dropped the daughter off at the in-laws who were taking her to see a soccer game with her cousin. This left the two of us free to go and see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It was enjoyable, but I don't think that I expected it to be better than the original Star Wars. The ending was sad enough that I shead single tear. There were so many places where Anakin could have simply stopped and changed things, but his destiny was set.

I saw George's cameo. His daughter's appearence was distracting - her eyes were all over the place. His son's cameo was excellent. The Tantive IV did not look correct - it was too short in the at mid-ships. Bai Ling's appearence was cut, I found out later. The shot of the early "Imperial Shuttle" with three fighter escort, from the second trailer, was not in the film. And the wrist restrains were in an "arms at your sides" instead of "hands up" position like in the teaser trailer - the "Lord Vader, rise." one.

After the show, we went to On the Boarder for dinner. We'd not been there since Matt was back in town years ago. It was one of his brithdays or something and it might have been before he was married. A long time ago indeed.
