All the bad guys think they are good guys...
Dear Tomha,

Long Long Time Ago, In a Galaxy Far Far Away...
Trumpets blared, before the trombones come in to join in the orchestra in a series of insane triple tonguings and triplets before belting the all too familiar theme of Star Wars, bringing in the familiar sprawling introduction to the film. Episode III: War!.... The fist word of the sprawling introduction tells as much about the theme of the film that we are eagerly anticipating for. Revenge of the Sith is non-stop pulsating light sabre duels from the start till the end, albeit a little distraction here and there about the dark side of the force, a little debates here and there in the Jedi Council (How did Lucas thought up of all these cool names??), a little kisses here and there, a little irritating animals here and there as well. On the whole, the trailer pretty much explains a lot about what to expect for in the movie. 2 and a half hours of great visual effects and mind boggling story telling about politics, mentor-tutelage and couple love, and of course, good versus evil. Coupled with the ever great performance by the London Symphony Orchestra in the background providing the powerful background music, What more can you ask for a fitting end to a franchise that spans more than a generation??

Sigh, Lord of the Rings ended, Indiana Jones ended albeit quite long ago, Star Wars had ended as well.. Will there ever be a fitting replacement trilogy in the future?
