Leave it to my dad to get to the heart of the matter:
I think the reason Anakin went over to the dark side was so nobody would call him "Annie" anymore. The "Boy Named Sue" syndrome: get tough or die.
Couldn't he have just changed his name? Like Marion Morrison?
"Basketball is a peaceful planet!" Great picture up front.
"I tell ya, I've fought tougher jedi, kid.
But I really can't remember when I did.
He kicked like a bantha and he bit like an opee sea killer.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his lightsaber and I pulled mine first.
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile."
Eh, doesn't have the same ring to it.
Well, after seeing it twice, I gotta say I LOVED it. In fact, my inner 6 yr-old is cringing because I actually think I like it almost as much as Empire....
gasp!
It is a great film.
"Mr. Lucas," said Darth Vader, "You can run from me for only so long. You need me."
He did change it....Darth Vader. Of course, he probably gets called Darthy now. Guy can't catch a break.
I know I'm the late one here, posting my mini review of SW III, but I LOVED IT. THe only thing that made me yell BOOOO was Padme's weak-ass lame-o character. What the hell? She went from warrior to wuss. Boo to Lucas for that. Otherwise I loved it. L-O-V-E love.
