Today, I saw “Revenge of the Sith”. Being a Star Wars fan (but not one of those fans who dress up as their favourite character or name their children Greedo) I have been looking forward to this film since George Lucas first announced the new trilogy. OK – I admit it. I enjoyed the previous two films too, but I saw them for what they were: pieces of entertainment aimed primarily at seven year olds. This time around it was different and Lucas made a film for the old people. It was a nasty, dark descent into Hell with lots of severed limbs and heads thrown into the mix. I enjoyed it a lot and when the two little infants were handed over to their respected adopted parents and the opening strains of the original Star Wars theme began to play, there was a little drop of moisture gathered in my eyes. It was the air conditioning, I tell you. The AIR-CONDITIONING! Good fun, but not for the kiddiwinks…
