Saw Star Wars: Return of the Sith, last night:):):)...

We're watching Return of the Jedi, right now:):):)...had to check out of the better Star Wars movies, after seeing the best that the prequels had to offer:):):)...

George Lucas has definitely redeemed himself with this last Star Wars:):):)...

...more soulful:):):)...very intelligent:):):)...much better, overall, than the previous two prequels:):):)...

And still DOESN'T EVEN TOUCH the first three Star Wars, I don't think:):):)...

...though this prequel was the closest to its original brethren:):):):):)...

Lucas has a lot of REALLY GREAT THINGS to say about contemporary politics:):):)...

And much of the movie is both implicitly critical of the President's "with us or against us" counterterrorism policy:):):) -- "You're either with me or you're one of the enemy" says Annakin Skywalker to Ben Kenobi...and of those liberals (not the majority, by far:):):) who are more concerned with understanding the perspective of terrorists than capturing and defeating them:):):) -- "From my perspective, you are evil" newly annointed Darth Vader relates again to his former teacher:):):)...

The acting is not the hottest in ANY of the Star Wars, I think everyone would agree:):):) (though Harrison Ford, Alec Guiness, and Carrie Fisher are a far better group than the really still pretty decent Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, and Hayden Christensen...

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope...

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith...

But STILL:):):):):):):)...

A VERY GOOD MOVIE:):):):):):):)...

HIGHLY RECOMMEND:):):):):)...

Check out Return of the Sith, when you get a chance:):):)...

Love,
Ben
