Just back from Episode III....

[corilannam]

The birds are already chirping outside and the false dawn is just starting to light the sky, and I just now got home from ROTS.



Oh my God.

That was

FUCKING

AWESOME.

It was everything I wanted it to be -- or at least everything I could reasonably expect it to be. It gave me the same visual and emotional joy I had with Episode I, but with the substance of the original trilogy. It was funny, it was tragic, it was beautiful, it was cheesy, it was even slashy.

Sure, there are quibbles a-plenty to be had, but overall?

George did not fuck it up.

*boggles*

He did not fuck it up.

This was the movie I've been waiting for since I was 11 years old. I know there are a lot of you for whom it's been a longer wait than for me -- I hope you experience the same rapture I'm enjoying right now.



Now I have to try to sleep somehow. If I can stop crying.

You know, I keep hearing that he didn't fuck it up. That it was worthy of what he started with. That I won't have my heart broken that way... other ways perhaps. I go see it Friday night.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was definitely heart-breaking, though not in the way so many of us feared it would be. I think it was definitely a worthy keystone to the series. I still can't quite believe it!

That is so very good to hear. I see it this evening. Why isn't it this evening yet???

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Hee! I'm seeing it again this evening. The day is passing mighty slowly, I have to say. *g*

Oh...that's so good to hear. My fannish heart has been tormented with both anticipation and dread! I know that I can trust a fellow Tucsonenses.

Hokay. I'm actually considering sneaking out of work for an early morning showing. I want to see it for the first time all by myself.

Muchas gracias, chica!

Con affeccion,

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!! Let me know what you think!

[keelywolfe.livejournal.com]

heh, you know, that was my exact thought.

"My God...he did it. He didn't fuck it up."

*G*

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Yup. *g*

In fact, during the end credits, I think I leaned over to chelseafrew and ndannais and said, "Did I imagine that, or did he really not fuck it up? Seriously?"

What's this I hear about "Blue ghost" sex?

And did Ewan look marvelous? Of course, he looked marvelous. *nods*

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Of course he did. *g*

And George totally legitimized the idea of blue ghostie sex. In fact, one might go so far as to say he encouraged it.

[cereta.livejournal.com]

This was basically my reaction. "Damn...he pulled it off."

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Yeah -- who knew that could even happen??

*g*

[therealjae.livejournal.com]

So glad for you. :-)

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm considering a return on my investment from the last two movies. *g*

This was the movie I've been waiting for since I was 11 years old.

Me too. I loved it so much. So, so much. :D Also, it's canon! Obi-Wan became a recluse in the desert with Qui-Gon, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
