Respectful Insolence is a repository for the ramblings of the aforementioned pseudonymous surgeon/scientist concerning medicine and quackery, science and pseudoscience, history and pseudohistory, politics, and anything else that interests him (or pushes his buttons). Orac's motto: "A statement of fact cannot be insolent." (OK, maybe it can be just a little bit insolent.)

I'd seen a few links to the blog. One woman said the scary thing was, she understood the whole thing. I didn't follow the link. When I saw it here, I finally followed the link ... and the scary thing was ...
ReplyDeleteI understood the whole thing! Not sure what that says about this 40 year old woman!
If you're a fan of the original three movies, as I am, you'll know exactly what "Lord Vader" is talking about.
ReplyDeleteRight now, Vader's working his way through The Empire Strikes Back
How many 40 year olds are NOT a fan of the original 3? (grin)
ReplyDeleteI like the first 2 of the second trilogy...but I'm not sure if I REALLY like them, or if I've just enjoyed my children's reaction to them. I honestly can't tell you much about them and what happened.
Except for Jar Jar ... my son had a pretty significan speech disorder and when Episode 1 came out, Jar Jar talked EXACTLY like my son...Jar Jar spoke Benjaminese! Even his speech therapist said so!
(which, endeared the character to me)
But ... I really couldn't tell you much about the story lines. The first three however ... I am a definite fan of those movies ... probably with the same passion as my son's love for Lord of the Rings.
Yep, I was a bit late to the Star Wars phenomenon, not seeing the first movie until late in the summer of 1977, despite all the hype. (I do not remember why I waited so long.) However, I blew off high school to be in line at the first showing for The Empire Strikes Back in 1980, and I skipped out of my summer research job for a day to be in line for the first showings of The Return of the Jedi.
ReplyDeleteI've shown no such devotion to the most recent two prequels. However, Revenge of the Sith looks promising. I'll probably check it out the first weekend that it's out.
