is it just me, or did lucas tried to answer every question that was between episodes 2 and 4 in the last 10 minutes of this one? plus, the set degraded when vader was finally plugged into his suit (from colorful, uber cgi high-tech computer screens to lightbulbs stuck out of illustration boards - welcome back to 1977!). haha.

too bad hayden has the acting skills of a rock -- which, pochi pointed out as excusable, given that vader from episodes 4-6 was a rock.

nitpicking aside, it was ok. finally, the saga has ended. or has it? last i heard, lucas is planning to produce 2 tv series picking up from episode 3, en route to episode 4. hmm. interesting.

(to be continued.)

happy birthday, poch-o! may odin and his posse grant you peace and happiness for this new year.
