Tara gave me a sticker that said this a few years ago. I was like ‘wut?’ But to her Star Wars gen, it’s a thing. It was my first real clue that there was different generations of the fandom to consider beyond my own narrow perspective. Sure, I saw almost every premiere in the theaters soon after they came out when they came out, but successive generations of fans saw it differently. If I’m honest, Tara is a deeper tan than me because she know Clone Wars better and the video games. While we were looking at lightsabers in one of many Galaxy’s Edge stores, there were a few Jedi & Sith I didn’t recognize. Tara knew them all from clone wars (which I forgot) and one from the video game (but she said that was dumb because you build your own lightsabers in that game for that character too). But back to that sticker, everyone in her gen gets it. Many can recite it, letter for letter. I had to search the web for it (feel free to do so, if you don’t know). That sticker is on my surface pro, but it’s partially covered now with successive stickers.
The first hour of III is a tad meandering, but once Vader flips to the dark side, rest of the ep is epic. The lightsabering is fun and the finale Vader v Kenobi is over the top. Fun to see cgi Yoda bust some moves. The Chewie nod is cool. I still get the feels when Order 66 goes down, and I felt a twinge when the soundtrack themes for Vader, Luke & Leia are teased at the end.
All these years I’ve been thinking they wiped the memory of both droids but it was only 3PO. R2, who’s just a plucky droid from the beginning, remembers it all (unlike 3PO who Anakin built). Since 3PO is fluent in whatever R2 speaks, as is everyone it seems, R2 is kind of an asshole for not filling in the gaps for everyone, especially 3PO.
Not enough Natalie in this one. Too much mopey Hayden in the beginning - it’s not like it’s some big reveal that he’s going dark side. Just flip already. Again, this could be edited - maybe a 2 hour flick instead of 2.5.
Kenobi is more bumbling in the prequels but he finishes strong by black knight cutting up Vader with one stroke as he tried to flip above him to higher ground.

Thank you for making me go to Reddit to figure out what that meant.

I've never liked her.
