Just got back from Star Wars again.

I’ve discovered some new observations that may or may not make anymore sense than the ones I wrote up earlier this morning as I haven’t had any sleep since 8am Friday morning. That’s right. We pulled an all nighter. I honestly don’t know how I made it this long without passing out.

Um. Beware for spoilers.

1. Jar Jar Binks was in this. I totally missed him the first time around. Probably because he doesn’t talk at all, and is only in two scenes for about ten minutes. Heh.

2. Lord Sidius is fucking creepy. My suitemate Lauren got drunk before seeing the show Thursday morning, and thought he looked as if he had his butt on his face. We now all refer to him as “Butt Face.” And he looks like a worm too. And he’s just all levels of creepy-like when he kind of morphs into the figure we all know and “love” in the latter Star Wars movies.

3. Padme annoyed me a hell of a lot more the second time around. It’s kind of sad that the only time I really liked her was when she was dying and/or dead. Her funeral was beautiful, and if it weren’t for her last few lines in the movie, I probably wouldn’t have liked her at all.

4. Valerie and I decided that Anakin was all about himself and Padme in the end. He probably didn’t even care about the child she was carrying. I knew all the Jedi would be eliminated, but the more I revisit that scene with the Jedi younglings, the more it disturbs me. His wife was fucking pregnant. He was going to be a father. And here he went around slaughtering children. Anakin was all about bringing Padme to the dark side where they could rule their dark world and have hot kinky Sith sex. Try saying “Sith sex” six times fast. Go on. Try it! (Valerie gets full credit for coming up with this.)

5. Vadar breathing for the first time? Very cool. The entire theater went silent. Winner for most absurd dramatic scene? When Lord Sidius tells Vadar that he killed Padme. “NOOOOOO!” Insert arms flailing here. I have a feeling we’re not supposed to laugh at that, but how can you not?

Top 10 Reasons Princess Leia is cooler than Padme
I actually only have one right now, as my brain is not properly functioning from a lack of sleep, but feel free to add.

1. Because Princess Leia would never die of a broken heart.
2. Princess Leia doesn't let Han Solo push her around. infairverona
3. Princess Leia understands the concept of sarcasms. infairverona
