Sith!

I remember going to see the very first Star Wars movie way back in 1977. It was truly a fascinating movie, as director George Lucas created a whole new universe that the rest of humanity had never imagined. At that level, the movie was very creative and successful.

Sadly, the plot sucked. And that to me is the bottom line. If the plot sucks, I really can’t enjoy the movie. I couldn’t understand the huge popularity of the movie, and I could not relate to people who fanatically immersed themselves in the Star Wars mystique.

From that day in 1977 until now, I have ignored the huge phenomenon known as Star Wars. Tonight, Revenge of the Sith opens. I hope all of you waiting in line to see it will enjoy it as much as I disliked the original. But I won’t be there. I have not seen another Star Wars movie, and I have no interest in this one.
