I just might have. It was so awesome. There are some things out there that you just find yourself at a loss of words when you encounter it.. nothing to complain about.. obviously a lot of people have some things to say about it, but this was one of those great things for me. Completely speechless. It was awesome.

I just got back from seeing Sith. It was, surprisingly, better than Episode II, which was rather....lacking.

The dialogue in Sith had its ups and downs...almost all dialogue between Anakin and Padme was...a complete waste of time. The fight sequences were well orchestrated, but lacked the speed I loved in Episode I (the fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul).

Mace Windu dies... . No offense to Samuel, but I just can't watch him as a 'Jedi Master'...during the scenes with him, I half expected him to scream 'motha-f***a' and 'bit*h'. Anyone who has seen Pulp Fiction or Shaft, can understand what I am saying.

Great intro...somewhat dizzying, but a thrill all-around. Count Doodoo..err..Dooku dies rather swiftly (thank God). The character of General Grievous was somewhat silly, but made for an entertaining 'bad-guy' character.

Episode III was as great as it was because it finally breached the gap between Episodes I, II, and III with episodes IV, V, and VI. After watching Ep. III, I now understand the Star Wars saga a lot better.

While some people, many parents especially, have complained about the considerably darker nature of the film, I found it to be a welcome change. The 'gore' that parents complained about wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. Sure, limbs are lost, but it's done very....low-key. It's not Kill Bill-ish.

All in all, I have to give this film its dues; I was very impressed and satisfied and entertained.

One of the complaints I have about 'Sith' is that Jar Jar had a speaking line. It would have been kinda nice if Samuel did a Pulp Fiction thing where he slices-up Jar Jar with a lightsaber while yelling "...whose the bad motha-f***a now bi*ch?"

....I can dream I suppose....

No he didn't Jar Jar didn't say one word. He was in two scenes. He was walking with the group that greeted Anakan after teh death of Count Dooku. And he was at Padme's funural proceedings. He didn't say one word. Not a single. Word.

Actually Vern, towards the beginning of the film: After Senator Palpatine is rescued and is brought back to Coruscant, he is greeted by the other 'Senators' and so forth. Jar Jar is there...before the 'welcome back' scene concludes, one of the guards says, "Move it." Immediately after, I hear "Excuse me."....it sounded like Jar Jar.

....I could be wrong though, however I distinctly heard the "excuse me" line...it could have been someone else, but it sounded like Jar Jar.

I didn't hear it. Maybe it was my mental "Jar Jar block"

Lol Vern! I would have missed it too, but someone mentioned it and I was kinda curious. Sadly, Jar Jar....spoke.
