From what I've heard about it, it might be best if you didn't take her.

Yay for all who saw it at 12:01AM!!!!

I thought it was a good movie. Definately recommend it for all to see(But maybe not for young children. There may not be blood and gore, but there sure are alot of lost limbs. Did anyone else notice how there was a hand slicing off fetish?). My suggestion for a better viewing is to let yourself be amazed at what GL can do with what you already know is gonna happen in the movie. I'm probably gonna see it again on Monday since it's a holiday! Woohoo!

Here's a little quiz: Name the 4 characters that appear in all 6 movies.

PS. hmm...do you think Order 66 would work against the Heroes in SEV?

Hmm - Darth Vader, the Emperor, Yoda, Obi-wan Kenobi?
Off the top of my head, Aniken Skywalker and Darth Sidiuos (I think) for the real names of the first two.

Just guessing.

you got Obi-wan Kenobi right.

the other 3 are not seen in all 6 movies.
Appearances:
Darth - III, IV, V, VI
Emperor - III, V?, VI
Yoda - I, II, III, V, VI

R2-D2 and 3PO.

Aniken was indead in 1 and 2 - So Darth was right.

I say Obi Wan, R2D2, C3P0, and Anikan. Ani because technically Darth Vader and him are the same person.

I saw it last night and enjoyed it a lot. Quite well done (aside from the usual star wars dialogue complaints) with lots of excellent lightsabre battles and some nice continunity touches to the original trilogy.

Some of the background scenery was just absolutely stunning, particularly the nighttime shots of the Corusant city.

*JAW DROPPING AWESOME*
I saw it at midnight.
No Jar Jar, no Ewoks, no pod racing. Just pure Star Wars goodness. Episode III reminded me why I love the Star Wars universe. EP I was ok, EP II got better but didn't have the right feel I remembered as a kid watching the original 3, but EP III gave me the feeling back.

The acting was better, but no one will win an Emmy. Why do people think Star Wars was ever well written? Star Wars isn't Shakespeare. It never was. Some scenes have been memorable ("Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited" "Sorry sweetheart, I don't have TIME for anything else" *grin*) but could never have been called a master piece of writing OR acting.

George Lucas set out to put the Saturday matinees from his youth (Buck Rogers, etc) onto the big screen. Now I would have liked things done slightly differently (Jar Jar, Ewoks, blech) but in the end, what else is like the universe of Star Wars?

If you're looking for witty dialoge, look elsewhere. I hear that Sideways is a nice "artsy fartsy" film, maybe I'll see it.

But as far as memorable Sci Fi, Star Wars is it. George Lucas has never been real strong on dialog. Should we hate him for it? Who else is there? I, for one, am just going to like Star Wars for what it is and not feel bad that its not Shakespeare.

We knew this story would be dark. I didn't realize just how dark it could be. I thought the reviewers were making a big deal about nothing, until I saw it. George Lucas was one hairs breath away from an R rating imho. Not only was it graphic, but dark, dark, creepy, dark. Bad things happen to good people for 2 hours. Not a feel good movie. I watched Star Wars on Thursday just to wash the taint of the Dark Side off of me.
