I went to the opening here, Wednesday 18th at midnight.

For the first time, someone is really acting: Ian McDiarmid.
I enjoy the planets, ships, characters like I enjoy what you USsians call "comix". Brain to zero and dive in.
The main inconsitency is that in chapter27 (DVD Return of the Jedi) Leia says she has known her real mother and has some images left from her (in her mind). That she was always sad.

The entire story is classical, and could have been top if someone else had written the dialogs. Mr Lucas is not Richard Wagner. Unfortunately.
But I loved the way Palpatine and also Annakin pronounced "Peace and Justice". That made my night. It was really that other berserker for democracy speaking.

Visually, and action wise, it is the best one of the six. 4,5 and 6 suffer from hilarious attempts at funny valves to release some tension. (o, my poor pet is dead...argghhh!)

Annakin's final choice for P.is psychologically bizarre (to say the least).
But it's a spectacular, whirling videoclip, not exactly Shakespeare, but that's not the intention.
I liked it.
And will see it again.
