This IS the return to the glory days of Star Wars. Some of the things I thought were truly exceptional: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> The relationship between Anakin and Padme. Yes, some have stated that the dialog was stilted. To me, it sounded like two children that were forced to grow up too soon trying to capture thier feelings in words that were beyond thier years. It was cliche? Yes. It was stiffly delivered? Yes. It was appropriate? Hell yes.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Jango Fett and the storyling that leads to the creation of 'Bounty Hunter' Boba Fett -- this was rather odd for me. In fact, it is this whole story line that now makes the relationship between Darth Vader and Boba Fett make so much since in the later films. I always thought it odd that Boba was the only guy that could talk back to Vader and live through it... now I know why.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Padme... like mother like daughter. Let's face it kids, the Princess of the original trilogy is a carbon copy of her mother. And this my friends, is a wonderful thing to see. It is also obvious they have the same taste in men -- they like the dark and dangerous types...</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Jar Jar... man, what can I say, but it is Jar Jar that seals the fate of the Republic, ushering in the new era of Empire. This makes his bafoonery in Ep-I all the more acceptable. And needed. You need to see how he is a kind-hearted but very foolish sort. He is. And it is exactly what Palpatine needed. He plays Jar Jar like a flute, and Jar Jar is all too willing to be played. Of course, he has no idea it's happening...</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Yoda... HOLY COW DUDE, this guy is one tough cookie. You have never seen anyone fight with the ferocity that he has. Nobody. They Master has more than earned that title.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Mace Windu (Sam Jackson) is perfectly cast, perfectly written and perfectly played. He is the exact sort of Jedi Master I wuold aspire to be, if I were a character in the Star Wars movies.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> And the most amazing thing (IMHO): the admission that the Jedi Order are loosing thier ability to control the powers of the Force. This was something I did not see coming. It plays rather well into the whole "re-balance the force" story line. I am beginning to believe that Yoda not only wanted Anakin to fall, he was counting on it. Anakin is the Yin to the Galaxy-wide Jedi Order's Yang (I may have that backwards). I have to wonder if Yoda thought he could balance the force witht he creation of teh ultimate Dark Jedi and then dispose of him, after the Force was balanced -- and then lost control of his little plan... don't know, but we will see in a few years when Ep-III is released... and let me tell you, I simply cannot wait to see it already.</li> </ul>BTW: I saw the Midnight show... I will be seeing it again tonight (or tomorrow), and at least once more this weekend -- I have a lot of friends with conflicting schedules. And this one, I have no problems wanting to see it multiple times.Like I said, this was a return to the glory days of Star Wars.</blockquote>
