STAR WARS FOREVER
So I just re-watched Star Wars I, II, IV, V, and VI and cried in the last 5 minutes of the last episode. I finally saw episode III in Oxnard a few days ago, so it was already fresh in my mind. I wanted to say that the first three sucked compared to the older ones, but I was suprised to find that I gained a sense of completion in watching all of them together at once. I actually finished the saga without feeling empty and deprived of deeper action. Er, actually, I still think that Episode II was a waste and that the boy in Episode I was the worst selection possible for young Anakin... but I think Episode III really tied the beginning to the "beginning of the end" quite nicely. Of course, I wanted to see more of the interaction between Obi-Wan and Luke in the later episodes because of the sentiment left from Episode III, but oh well. I'm really glad that Ian McDiarmid is still alive. I think a large part of the success of "the completion" is due to him. There could have been no other Sith Lord.
This is weird. I feel like a part of me has died with the completion of Star Wars. I really just wanted to throw up after seeing the third one. Star Wars was such a huge part of my life in Elementary school. I didn't have many friends then, and the movies were the only things I could cling to. And Star Wars is the only thing that has endured since then. I used to stick the Star Wars logo on everything, and wore the shirts religiously. Ah, I know why I'm depressed. It's because I wish I were ten again. Everything back then seemed so possible. Why do people have to grow up? I feel so old. Oh gosh I'm in one of those moods again. I better get off LJ before I say something I'll regret. Er, I guess I could just delete any of it later. But I think it'd be better if I continue in my paper journal.
Let me just finish off to say that I thoroughly enjoyed being a complete couch potato today. I had sooo much tea and cocoa (and let's not forget the popcorn), which just made me feel all the cozier. This is really the first time I've ever really "couch potatoed" since the end of Autumn Quarter. I know I really shouldn't, but I think I might do it again tomorrow.
