Re: What was going through your head during the opening sequence?

Yeah I kept thinking........
Oh fu*&^in hell ya this movie is gonna rock!
.................and it did. 😎
When seeing the initial sequence of the "sith" movie i finally exhaled and thought to myself..."i can now die peacefully".
After the crawl faded and the camera showed the star destroyer followed by what sounded like beating drums only to have anakin and obi wans ship zoom into view with the sw score. it sounded different, as if it were telling me "this is the final movie" but at the same time it was the same beat.
and then when the ships pulled up, out and down into the war over corusant i whispered, "omg" the moment was amazing..
I felt as if i were over corusant literally. The depth of the visual made it seem so fantastically real that it was as if i were up in space that high over Corusant myself. I became a bit dizzy/air sick for 2 seconds and i loved it.
Star Wars Episode 3 is my favorite movie out of the six. Cant wait for the DVD version in Nov.1 along with Battlefront 2...and Empire at War soon after where the Death Star can be used as well.
I was happy and sad at the same time. Fans everywhere had waited a long time for this and finally it was here. I was glad that i got to finally take my 6yr old son to see SW on the big screen just like my dad took me to see ANH all those years ago.
The opening sequence was mind blowing, the way Anakin and Obi Wan skimmed across that first cruiser and then cleared it to enter the fray was exhilarating. I realised a minute into it that i hadn't taken a breath, the action was so intense. I really loved the way Lucas wrote Obi Wan's and Anakin's friendship, it almost had you wishing for a different ending where they remained friends.
Its an experience I'll never forget and i cant wait for the DVD.
Oh and all of what FistOfTheNorth said. 👆
actually....
Actually, the whole opening sequence, as COOL as it was, was just a bit too much for me.... it made me somewhat dizzy.... there were just too many things going on all at once, making it hard at times to really focus on all the details.... it was just too much, too fast....
But what I DID like was, when I saw it on the big IMAX screen, there were a few parts when the camera is following behind Anikan and Obi's ships and you get that floating sensation in the pit of your stomach like you are moving along with them and zooming around...... kinda like the physical feeling of being on a roller-coaster.
You just gotta love Star Wars.... what other movies can you honestly say will do that to ya???
