Just got back from the midnight showing and I wanted to post some quick thoughts. I’ll post a more detailed and thought out review later on today (after some sleep).

• Overall: Very good, met expectations.
• Natalie Portman’s Job: Eye candy
• Special Effects: Awesome, what you would expect from a Lucas film
• Yoda: I don’t want to mess with that guy. He gets the best lines and the best fights.
• Mace Windu: One bad ….; Shut your Mouth; I was just talking about Mace…
• dialogue: Very painful at times.
• Best Line: Padme (Paraphrased…) - So that is the sound of democracy falling, applause.
• Story: Very good and compelling.
• Resolution: Everything is resolved, but you still feel that something is lacking. Like maybe 3 more movies or something…
• Stuff Only a Fanboy would get: Plenty of references, both visual and in the dialogue.
• Movies you have to see to understand what is going on: Just the original Star Wars.
• MPAA Rating: It was PG13 and I think that was the right rating. It was a lot darker than Ep. 1 and 2 and had a more “adult” feel to it.

I give it both thumbs up. That’s all for now.

Update: Longer Review Available.
