Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith: Breadbox Edition

This is the last Star Wars BBE I will be doing for a while. Ever since I saw it a week and a half ago, I've been eating, sleeping and breathing Star Wars. It started after we saw it. The next day, my friend was all, "Let's get drunk and watch 'Star Wars,'" and I stupidly thought she meant "A New Hope." Nope. She meant all six of them. It took

OMG LADY OF SHALLOTT!

Randomness.

Heh.

Anyway, that was utterly brilliant. I thought it was 18 years between ROTS and A New hope (I dunno, that's what my brother said). Oh well. Still, kinda weird.

Ahem. Yes. I quite loved this. This made me very happy indeed. I went to see this with a group of 12 rabid star wars fans, and we all agreed the yoda/palpatine battle was the most entertaining. We also counted over 8 severed limbs in this movie.

The moment I saw Padme in her funeral floaty thing with the flowers everywhere, I thought, "What? Is she the Lady of Shallot?" So, I had to quote Tennyson.

I don't know exactly how many years are between RotS and ANH. I just estimated. Though...McGregor turns into Guinness in 18-20 years? That sun must age one really fast.

Yoda v. Palpatine was so good. I'm sorry Yoda lost, but he had to. I still think he could have taken Palpatine eventually.

Glad you liked it! Thanks!

My friends and I immediately thought Ophelia from "Hamlet". But the Lady of Shallot works so much better, with the whole broken heart thing (which I thought was the biggest copout in the world).

Seeing as John Williams Waterhouse did paintings of both Ophelia and The Lady of Shallot, I think either allusion is fair. I definately think Lucas was going for the Pre-Raphaelite image.

Especially with the whole Lily Maid of Astolat thing and the lilies everywhere . . . I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that.

Hahaha I love your "SW Cantina" icon."

And to the original poster, this is the funniest thing I have read since the movie came out. Bravo! I added it to my memories. =D

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it so much.

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one! The dang scene SCREAMED "Lady of Shalott" to me from the first time I saw it.

Man, why weren't all these people in my theater? We could have all screamed together.
