Is there life after Star Wars? A good friend of mine was nice enough to allow me to get an early viewing of Episode 3 last night. I can't believe the end is finally here. Well, the end before the beginning I guess. I can remember when George Lucas first announced his plans to come out with the 3 prequels to the original Star Wars trilogy. The timeline he scheduled seemed to be impossible to wait for. But as I sat down in my seat last night I realized this was the last one. After 28 years of wondering how it all began the last story was about to be made known. I remember, after watching Return of the Jedi, that there would be no more Star Wars movies. But life went on then too. It's too bad Star Wars can't go on as often as james Bond movies do. So what do we look forward to now?
There's some kids out there now, old enough to watch the episodes 1-3 and never know what it was like to watch the first ones on the big screen. Back then we didn't have all the computer digital blah blah blah to tell the story....just good old muppets, makeup, and stop motion photography. But I have to say, and I am probably in the minority with this opinion, that contrary to a lot of true star wars fans my age, I really enjoy all the new digital effects. Ehh...most of them. A digital Yoda looks fairly convincing, but you have to allow some imagination to keep yourself in the film.
Overall, I was very pleased with the movie and would definitely go back again.
But now what? What's there to look forward to? There's a new Superman movie coming out and a new Willie Wonka...but I think this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367882/" title="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367882/" target="_blank"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0... will possibly be my next most anticipated event.....a "new hope"!!
My dad and I are going to fish in another bass tournament this weekend. We haven't done too well in tournaments the last 2 years. I wish I could get back home more often to keep up with the bass' patterns. KY lake can be a fickle place if you don't keep up with the constant changes. One thing can always be said of KY lake. "the only thing that can be predictable is that the bass will always be unpredictable."
