Star Wars

So as I said in my Facebook status, Cody and I watched all six Star Wars movies, in episode order, over Thursday and Friday night. (I-IV on Thursday and V and VI on Friday.) To clarify for the geeks, these were the "remastered" versions--Hayden Christensen appeared at the end of Return of the Jedi. That didn't bother me, as the new computer animation stuck out like a sore thumb in most cases. It's Lucas' baby to alter as he pleases, the OCD side of me is actually really glad that they put Hayden in because now it matched. ("Same character, different actor" is one of those things that really gets under my skin. If your actor won't or can't come back, then write them out one way or another.)

Thoughts? Nothing amazing to discuss, really. Even though I'd never seen one all the way through (A New Hope had been on cable at one point and Mom and Dad had watched it, and I sporadically caught a few scenes, but the only part I really remembered was the trash compactor scene), I knew the basic gist of all the plot points. (SPOILER: Darth Vader is Luke's dad!! ZOMG!)

I don't know why people whine about the newer movies being so terrible, other than maybe the existence of Jar Jar Binks. Lots of action and stuff. Good overall.

Anyway. I'm off to reread iharthdarth. Some of the jokes might make more sense now, lol.

Oh, and call me nuts, but I actually want to see the animated Clone Wars movie now.
