It's Over!

I don't believe this! Kahit si Pagong, nagulat. After 3 decades of decoding and figuring out the story behind it all, I can't believe it's finally over. Star Wars Episode3: Revenge of the Sith, was shown last Wednesday... Mom, Pat, Anne and I went last Thursday night in Greenbelt3. Fortunately, I got us some good seats (one row for four people!) in a THX cinema--> for movies like this, you have to invest to get all the good aspects! The showing was at 1040PM so we each spent our time reading books at Powerbooks and listening to good music at Music One.

Finally, it was time. People were all anxious to watch the final installment of the greatest sci-fi in the world. Most of the people inside were yuppies... those who grew up knowing the Millenium Falcon, Jabba the Hut and the Dagobah System. Think Eric Foreman of That 70s Show. Yep, this guy loved Star Wars.

As the trailers died one by one (next film I wanted to see was Mr. & Mrs. Smith), Music guru John Williams unleashed the nostalgic theme of Star Wars. People inside were clapping their hands and shouting from anticipation. Everyone was so into the movie! This was the episode everyone had been waiting for. Episode 3 answers all questions in Eps 1&2 and reveals the next characters for Eps4-6.

I didn't want to give any spoilers here but the story revolved not on the Republic but on our love team, Anakin and Padme. Both had inner struggles. And you can see how much Anakin loves Padme... that he would do anything for her. Padme's such a lucky gal. I have a hottie who's wrapped around my finger.

Yes, Hayden Christensen had the "evil hotness" aura in him. Bad boy looks will never be the same for me again!

Ewan McGregor looked 'old', like he's supposed to... no complaint there.

Natalie Portman made me realize one thing. Pregnant women can still look hot!

With my White Chocolate Mocha in one hand, a bucketful of butter popcorn in another and my family sitting beside me, and Ep3 playing, I knew nothing could go wrong. I was having so much fun that 3 hours seemed too short.

I was glad everyone watched the movie together. Since Pat and I can both drive, we always go out without mom. We began missing that part so we decided to watch it all at night. Mom's reason was because it was late and she didn't want the 3 of us alone. It was the first time in so many ocassions that we went out as a family.

As the movie ended, I felt sad. So this is it. Everything was laid out in the open. No more mysteries, suspense or being kept in the dark. Almost all questions have been answered. I'm not a hardcore Star Wars fan but I liked the plot and the drama so I would go lengths to watch it too. I'm so glad we have the last trilogy at home... in VHS form! Ganun ka-luma.

After posting this blog, I wanted to watch Episode 4. Yes, another hottie to watch out is Harrison Ford, in his prime! Mark Hamill is ok too, except he didn't go anywhere after that.

Another saga ended, with other stuff branching out. Series, post-movie plots and cartoons came out. But I guess nothing held my interest except those in the screens.

George Lucas is a genius!
