The release of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is fast approaching. I’ll be out in theatres on May 19th. Once again, I’ll be going to the midnight showing with all the other crazies, geeks, nerds, die hard fans…whatever you want to call them. After the miserable day I had after the last midnight showing I went to (Lord of the Rings III), I told myself I was getting too old to stay up that late. Apparently I didn’t tell myself forcefully enough… Oh well, it’ll be worth it - I hope. From the trailers that I’ve seen so far, Episode III should be the best of the prequel trilogy. Of course, it doesn’t take all that much to top the others, but I won’t digress into that. This one is supposed to be very dark and violent from what I’m hearing, so much so that it’s been given a PG-13 rating, the only one of the to be rated that high. All of the other films were PG, so that certainly says something about where Lucas is taking this film. I’m really interested to see how he’s going to “conclude” the series and how he’ll tie up all the lose ends and gaps between Episode II and Episode IV.
