This is the only Star Wars Movie that I have seen in the theatres and boy it took a lot of willpower to keep my butt glued on the seat; I was shaking though the whole film. Not from Fear mind you, but from the sheer excitement of seeing the film.
The film is pure eye candy (and no I’m not just talking of the Ewan and Hayden, variety), there’s just so much to take in, and it blows you away – you can’t take it all in one viewing (and I really didn’t find any of the Easter eggs for that reason).
Now I am going to admit something (which I have before, mind you) – I read the novel (Stover’s) nearly two months before I saw the film. So what caused Anakin’s Fall was no surprise, same with Padmé’s death after the twins were born.
However the novel or the comic of the film didn’t tell me everything on what to expect in the Film… The Most noteable one is that small scene just before Anakin’s Dream, which leads me into another quirk of this film – you actually ‘see’ Anakin’s visions, something that has never been seen in a SW film.
I still stand by what I said about Grievous on the OS Message Boards – That people that know nothing about Star Wars EU, will most likely be wondering who he is, and why he was there. One of the biggest flaws of the prequels was not having a strong consistent bad guy - Nute Gunray is a piss poor excuse for a bad guy, all he does is whine.
Anakin and Padmé are a good couple, and I am a A/P shipper – but Obi-Wan and Padmé seemed to have more chemistry on the screen, then Anakin and Padmé did at times.
Also there’s some scenes that should have not been cut – Like the scene in which Padmé, Bail and Mon, talk about starting a rebellion and when Obi-Wan talks to Padmé before going after Grievous.
Some people would think Anakin’s turn was quite sudden. However, the signs were there for the movie goers in Attack of the Clones, for the EU readers, like me, we saw a lot more of them.
Revenge of the Sith, is the strongest of all the prequel movies, while at times it can be disturbing (Roasted Anakin anyone?), and has a predicable storyline, it is the must see of all the prequel movies.
This where I post any intersting things about my life and info on things I like.

A Comment On Fan Fiction
I have updated Loss and Discoveries also posted a couple of new Star Wars stories. Check out the site's that I post them on for more information.
Also if you read any (not just mine) Fan Fic's and totally hate them, it may be best to keep your thought's to yourself.
Fan Fiction is suppost to be done for fun, most writer's do not want do be offended by people that don't like their work.

Twerts - Or the Pet Lamb problem.
Pet Lambs - Cute right?
To me that is not really the case, and if you wait until they older, they can become a real pain in the butt.
And I mean a pain in the butt, pet Ram's are dangerous animals - One of the pet rams we had actaully bunted in a bird cage door to get at some wheat that he wasn't suppost to get - I watched him do it, there was no way in hell that was going to get in his way - even if I had a piece poly pipe to defend myself.
For that reason most of the male Lambs we bring up get niped at the balls. It stop's the nasty behavior, however, that doesn't stop all the problem's.
Pet Lambs don't allways want to go back and live with the mob, so they hang around the main house hold, and if you forget to shut gate's and shed doors - well they walk in like they rule the place.
Pet Lambs do have the 'Awww' factor when they are young but when they are older they can become the 'Swear' Factor.
This year the Number of Pet lamb's we have (at the moment) is Five, last year it was Nine.
So you can see why my cuteness factor of Pet lambs has sort of worn off.

RotS is out...
...But I haven't seen it yet, and the odd's are I will not see it until the DVD come's out.
However I am not that bothered by this... Well yes I would like to see the movie at the flick's but if I do miss it, it's not going to be the end of the world - There is always the DVD.
And anyhow... I already Know what is going to happen in the movie anyway, so I am in no real hurry.
I only Hope that this time I will be able to sit though the Movie without having to stop for some unknown reason (TPM - the Video Player had Lunch with it, AotC - A Badly timed phone call).

Click go the Shears, and more Star Wars Talk
Shearing, the time of the year when you run around like headless chooks, for a few days. It's crazy time of the year, but those sheep have to be shorn.
AotC on Ten was a bit of a disapointment. No new RotS News.
On the RotS news front, there are big rumors that GL is taking a shot at Bush. That may or may not be the case, however, if you looking for that sort of thing, you can see a lot things in the OT and the NJO, that make you think of World War II.
But in the long run, most people wont care of the movie's take a shot at certain people, or the movie's or books have scenes or characters that make you think of past events, most people will remember the Movie for what it is - a great story.

Some Tips on using Message Boards.
Most of you will Have used a message board, sometime in your life but here are a few tips on staying out of trouble on those boards:
- First and Formost, check out the site rules before posting anything. Also get to know the site as well.
- Never give away any imformation that could lead to unwanted attenion in your privite life. This means Don't post your last name, Phone Number, or Home Address, on the boards you use.
- If you are going to start a new Thread think about: Is this the right board to put this in? and Is there already a thread on this topic? - To answer the latter check out the board's thread directory and the first few pages of threads.
- On the point of starting new threads, don't start a new Thread to answer a one shot question - most big boards have general Q/A threads, if the board you use does not have one - start one, and make Sure your fellow users use it. You will find that the board will get a lot cleaner and it will be easlier to find that thread your atfer.
- Be nice to other people that use the boards - They have just as much right to be there as you do.
- Keep your bad language to yourself - Almost everyone says the F and the S, word sometime in their life's but most large boards forbid it, so it's best not to write those words into your messages.
If you follow what I have writen down here you will, probably, find that you wont get into too much touble with the Mod's of the boards you use.

Revenge of the Sith - Is now only days away!
As everyone who has not been living under a rock should know the last Star Wars movie is finaly going to hit the big screen.
I don't know if I am going to see it on the big screen, but I already know what happens.
You See novels can be a werid and wonderful thing... it can be the biggest spoiler that you could ever get your hands on, stort of the actual script.
Things are now starting get a little Star Wars crazy around here, you only have to look at the newspapers, Toy Shops, the Flick's, etc. to see what I mean.
And if you think it's going to be over after May 19? You better think again... the Star Wars EU Band Waggon is thinking of putting out a TV series.
There is much in store for SW Lovers thats for sure.
