I finally saw it last saturday.
It was great. Made me want to instantly see 4-6 again. An almost perfect link between the trilogies.
Did you see the Millennium Falcon? I did, tried to show it to my g/f but I was too late. It's flying in when another ship comes to a planet.
Didn't notice George Lucas though.
What did you think of the opening scene? I thought it was perhaps a bit too intense. I had this feeling that it wasn't real, as if they would suddenly wake up and it was a dream. Probably had to do with the dialogs, which were also there very poor.
R2-D2 was cool, but a bit over the top? Suddenly he could use a cell phone (
), defeat robots, catch things, jump.. oh well.
Very cool film.
The way Anakin turned evil was pretty good, but how he SUDDENLY did everything Sidious asked was a bit fast.
Some people don't think that Storm Troopers are clones, but I think it's pretty obvious now.
Edit: I didn't like all the jokes by the droids. "Run for your life!" Yeah right.
I loved the lizard thing, he was cute. At first I thought he was pretty stupid, but then I loved him.
I can finally appreciate Haiden in the last scene of RotJ. At first I hated it, but now I've gotten used to Anakin in this form. I liked him in RotS.
I don't think Palpatine suddenly ages and became ugly, but he lost his ability to mask himself. Remember that you see the ugly Sidious in Ep. 1 and 2. Palpatine was just a form to hide his true identity. I think.
