Urgh Argh Star Wars III

In the words of Michelle from 'Ello 'Ello - "Listen carefully - I will only say this once"

I was not content with Star Wars III. The story was tiresome in parts, and the sheer quntity of panaromic shots of various planets/starships was overwhelming. De Heer Lucas could have done with snipping off 20 mins of footage in the production room to make for a tighter film that flowed with pace.

And Yoda - if one more yoda-ism you make, myself kill i must

Scenes that made me giggle:
Darth Vader stepping off the platform in his shiny new black suit in a very Robert de Niro-esque manner (think RdN in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein)
Straight after the funny step of the podium he asks how Padme is - and when Darth Sidius tells him he has killed her, his roar of anguish is pure comedy. Think Noooooooooooooooo aarrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhh uuuuuuurrrrrggghhhhhhnnnnnnnnnn
