Sometimes I'm slow

So we just watched Revenge of the Sith, finally. (Yes, it took five years.)

And OMG STILL LAUGHING. *expires on keyboard* I really don't think that was the reaction Lucas was going for with his big tragic finale.

HAW I know, right?

The NOOOOO wasn't quite as funny to me as the "Anakin, you're breaking my heart!" which had me LOLing in the theater...

Obi-wan's exchange with Anakin near the start of the movie ("We're smarter than this!" "No, I guess we're not.") had me go off posthaste to get a glass of wine, and I didn't regret it. Being slightly drunk makes the movie tolerable, at least.

... seriously, if your script is so awful that even Samuel L. Jackson can't make his lines sound convincing, you know you've got a bad problem ...

Alcohol! I knew I was forgetting something! There is a major downside to not being a drinker...

I still love the original trilogy (recently rewatched it, and yeah, it's dated, but it's still Star Wars!) but the prequels really are an exercise in How Not To Write a Screenplay.

"We're smarter than this!" "No, I guess we're not."
I think that sums up the entire movie!

--also you might want to check out the abridged script (http://www.the-editing-room.com/revengeofthesith.html):

"On my way to kill all of the children now! Whee!"

OH MY GOD ROFL

"Must… bridge… gap… to… original… trilogy…"

I don't even remember if I saw this movie (seriously) but the abridged script is hilarious! Thanks.
