Thread: Being a geek = Free Movie for me
Congratulations! Run, Don't Walk, to the theater and see this film (twice if she can't go with you...) I've seen it 3 times already and it is fantastic!
Very Dark. Sad to see the fall of a hero and the destruction of the relationships between his loved ones...
Very disturbing as to what happens to Anakin that he requires his walking Iron Lung.

I give it an 8.5 max. The battle scenes were fantastic, but the scenes in the beginning in the hanger bay with the battle droids and R2 were childish and lame for the most part, (was definitely intended for the kiddies).
Hayden and Natalie still act woodenly also.
I rank it 3rd best of the six films, with Episodes 4 and 5 being first and second...

So the local paper was having a Star Wars trivia contest, enter either on-line or by mail. I was told by my significant other I should enter, as I knew all the answers. So I did. And I was one of two winners for free passes to Revenge of the Sith.
Yay me.
Now if we can get a day off together - grumble.

Second, sheesh that's not a quiz its a freaking exam paper...
Over here the radio quizzes have been more like "In Star Wars, Luke becomes a) a nurse b) a train driver c) a Jedi. Now, here's the theme tune from Star Wars - Return of the Jedi......"
seriously.
tho I've still not won anything other than a signed photo of a DJ and a CD holder withthe station logo on (well the station logo is laser printed onto a mailing label which is then badly stuck to the CD holder...)
[are we off topic yet?]

No one.
Han Solo said to Leia that he could use a good kiss, referring to Chewbacca in response to her statement that "I'd sooner kiss a Wookiee."

I do not think the movies tell us this. The story of the "Slave 1" and how fett used it to escape a prison is part of the expanded universe. (and properly just some SW history that was changed with episode 2)
