Star Wars

I'm probably going to see all the Star Wars movies, including the prequels, in 3D because, well, I love Star Wars and I love 3D. I like the tack Timothy Sexton takes in this article here, though (and the comment threaders obviously don't get it), he's clearly concern-trolling here. I mean, this article doesn't make the Yahoo headlines if the title is different. The truth is, the Star Wars prequels do get the politics a LOT better than the originals, though obviously that does not make it a better story, nor does it come close to compensating for the wooden dialogue, terrible casting, and atrocious acting. That being said, I was probably one of nine people in the world who enjoyed all three prequels. Did they live up to my expectations? Err, no. But did they introduce an amazing new villain (Darth Maul) and the three best light saber duels of all time (Darth Maul v Obi Wan & Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda v Dooku, and Obi Wan v Anakin)? Yes.
