"I pledge myself to your teachings. To the ways of the Sith." I got little sleep the first couple of days this came out.. what with the midnight showing, the talking about it all night and the going again first showing the next day and again in the afternoon with the cute after-school crowd dressed as characters . Going to see a star wars film is an experience so much more than the 2 and a bit hours your sat captivated watching it all fall into place. And this one was even more so, being the last one. I digress... Being the missing part of the puzzle, there were so many loose ends to be tied up, but Uncle Lucas did it. I will miss the three year build-ups to star wars, the online stuff, the figure-buying, the books, mags, trailers, posters, sountrack premieres, even the queuing for star wars is enjoyable. My fave little less obvious bits that never get mentioned were padme telling annie she was pregnant, the stoner-neomodian, yoda in his jedi pyjamas. Ian McDiarmid is amazing in this, he may be an old guy but he's quick! Did you see how fast that sabre-pop was! What a sneaky sith he is. My final kudos, is to the double act - Obi and Ani. Their relationship was heartbreaking. Right to the end, Obi Wan is gutted by the way things have turned out, but stands by his duty to the jedi "You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you." What great performances.
