Star Wars 3 : Revenge of the Sith

Went and saw Star Wars Episode 3 : Revenge of the Sith last week. It was on a Thursday night. It was fun, hanging out with my old uni buddies. After Isyak, went straight to a friend's house in Taman Melawati. From there, we went to Desa Melawati in his car to pick up our other friend whose car was dead, due to him leaving the lights on for 7 straight hours. After having a light supper, which consists of maggi goreng mamak for me, mee goreng mamak for my friend, and roti canai for my other friend, went and tried to jump start his car by using my other friend's car. After a few tries, we managed to get it to run. Then, we drove to his apartment, where he took a bath (I think) and changed into clean clothes, as opposed to the sweat soaked shirt he was wearing previously. After that, we went to one other Taman to pick up his friend.

It was around 11pm at that time, so we made haste and went to MidValley. But along the way, we got lost. But we still managed to arrived at half past 11. There, met up with more uni friends. And one of them brought his fiancee along. While chatting with them, I saw a girl walking past us, and I thought that she looked darn familiar. Then it hits me, that was my cousin's friend! So, I excused myself from the group (I did no such thing!), and proceeded to go towards her. She was with an Indian guy. But as I reached them, the guy went to get some popcorn. So, we started talking, while waiting for the guy to return. She said that we always seem to be bumping into each other in the cinema. After a while, the guy came back and I introduced myself as eL. I think he said his name was Viyan. I can't be sure.

So, after chatting with them for a few more minutes, we said our goodbyes and I went back to the group, only to be stopped by my old school friend. He said he saw me from afar and thought I looked familiar. He said he was with some other Johannians, but by that time, we were running late, so I told him to sent my regards, and scooted off with my uni friends.

The movie was quite a disappointment for me. I like the story line, and the fight scenes are amazing, but there wasn't any climax. Or if there was, it was so gradual that you didn't feel the impact of it. I was waiting for the climax throughout the whole movie, but alas, I was deprived of that one thing that I sought for most. I like the parts where Obi Wan Kenobi fought General Grievious, Mace Windu fought Darth Sidious, and the fight between Yoda and Darth Sidious.

Overall, it was a good movie. But nothing great. They did explain how all the jedis were killed, and why Yoda and Obi Wan were the only two surviving Jedis. And they even went and put in Chewbacca, Han Solo's buddy. But no Han Solo or his parents. Odd, to say the least. Well, not odd, just another lose end.
