Star Wars to the Rescue
So, we went to see Star Wars together, and even though things had been a bit rough beforehand (see Crabby Minnesota Day), we're definitely back on track. There's nothing like a good lightsaber duel between former friends to help mend a relationship.
All in all, I liked the movie--for one thing, I liked actually knowing what was going to happen. I've always been a bit confused when it comes to Star Wars because I saw the movies out of order as a kid (for me, the trilogy goes--The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Star Wars). Just think about it for a minute--I knew Darth Vader was Luke's father before I knew how they ever met in the first place!! As a result, every time I watch one of the Star Wars movies, it's like I'm watching it for the first time (some kind of weird amnesia, I guess). So, in this particular one, it was nice to have some idea of what was going to happen. Catharsis was mine as I got some important questions answered, not to mention one of the greatest fight scenes ever--the final battle between Obi wan Kenobi and Anakin/Darth Vader. It reminded me of why I like Star Wars in the first place. . . .
