Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 30 years (1976-2006), and been able to block out the onslaught of marketing tie-inbs on TV, radio and the internet, then you know on May 19th, the last film of the highly fanatical frachise "Star Wars" will be released in which Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christiensen) becomes the infamous Darth Vader and that serves as a bridge to the original trilogy of films (Star Wars; Empire Strikes Back; Return of th Jedi).
Various test screenings and exclusive previews for fans and critics alike have been giving RoTS mixed reviews... BUT, unlike the first two prequels, The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, the one thing most of the reviews say is that the film is... GOOD -- Regardless of whether or not RoTS leaves you feeling "happy" or "sad" in terms of the film's overall storyline and execution.
This is positive news for long time SW fans like myself and others who literally grew up with the series and watched it evolve from sleeper hit to world wide cult phenomena.
Where will you be on May 19th (Thursday)?
