War!

The latest and last Star Wars movie is finally out, and our Ms. Johnes has been to see it. "Much, much better than the first two, and maybe even almost as good as the third of the original three, the originals. The good ones! Not bad. This had its problems, obviously, but it was still very good for what it was, and it could have been much, much worse. Woot!"

Weeks ago in her local Target she spotted an action figure of pregnant Padme gripping a blaster and readying herself for battle, and Erika sensed great things for this last installment to the famed double trilogy. Sending a pregnant woman into battle! It doesn't happen, though, Padme doesn't blast anyone, nor does she even come close to a weapon (unless you choose to count the light saber clipped to Anakin's belt). The movie's better for it, and Jar Jar doesn't even have a speaking role. In fact, the only time he appears, he's weeping. Also, if you don't want to find out the secret about Anakin Skywalker and ruin the movie's ending, don't look at any holographic Altoid tins.

"Happy nerding!" from Erika.
