Seduced by the Dark Side

No, I’m not talking about the black smoke rising from the Sistine Chapel chimney, as the old men of Catholocism gather to pick a new supreme dictator, and crowds gather in St. Peter’s Square to watch…

I’m talking about the imminent arrival of Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. I’ve read the novel, seen the trailers…and I must say, we may finally get the pay off that was somehow missed by the previous two prequels.

Screenings are already selling out fast, and advanced tickets are moving at lightspeed. I’m very much looking forward to this one…it’s the one movie we’ve all been waiting for…and (surprising for Lucas), it actually seems dark and stylish. Perhaps we may even reach Empire Strikes Back-levels of quality. You never know…I’m told we live in an era of wonders.

One month to go, and I’ll know for certain.
