So I didn’t mention anything because I was busy with other stuff and unfortunately, the timing didn’t quite work out, but last month, Revenge Of The Sith – the third and final film in the Star Wars prequel trilogy – turned twenty years old. Some may recall that I did a musings on Attack Of The Clones when that film turned twenty… and I had intended to do the same for Revenge.
Alas, things went pear-shaped.
Things are going to be calming down in a couple days where I can just relax and take a pause from recovery periods and other things, so I may pull out my old DVD of Revenge and give it another watch. At some point, I’ll give the film a similar musings that I gave Clones and Jedi.
Meanwhile, in a few scant months, we’ll be celebrating (or condemning, depending on your mileage) the tenth anniversary of The Force Awakens – the seventh live-action Star Wars movie, the first film in the divisive Sequel Trilogy and also the first film of the Disney-era of Star Wars content creation. In all honesty, I have not watched that film in years… I want to say since it first came out, but I imagine that I did see give it one more watch before the final episode of the sequels. I actually remember liking that one, even if it felt like we’ve been here before. Of course, that was before all the content that came along and soured my taste for anything Star Wars… well, almost anything. Some of the comics and most of the video and computer games still hold up.
I’d imagine I’ll give that a watch and do a musings on that. Who knows what that will look like? Will it still be good or will the sins of what came afterwards color my perceptions a bit? All I know is that it gave us a meme (pictured above) and that’s what we’re basing a new set of films upon… which I have thoughts on as well, but I’m saving those for the back pocket.
