A couple of us from work stayed up late last night and saw the first showing of Star Wars Episode III at 12:01am. It was well worth the long night. This is by far the best of the prequels. If it wasn't for the childhood magic of the original movies it could have been a contender for 1st or 2nd place in my mind. I'm glad to see 'ol Jar Jar didn't get many lines (perhaps one?) and there was very little cheesy dialog (like the 'I truly... deeply... love you' from Episode II). The best part was the level of humor in the movie. Like the first three there were small incidents that made you chuckle without ruining the seriousness of the movie. Anyways go see it... and I need to catch up on some sleep!

I agree that it was the best of the first three. For me, III was a dark look at the fall of a man. I was pretty surprised how the movie made me feel: sad. Sad to see someone with so much hope fall so far. Sad to see heros (like yoda & obi wan) fail their student. I should have seen all this coming -- after all I had 20 years to prepare. ;0
