well, i saw it about 11 hours ago now, and sorry i was too tired to chime in...
many of you know, i really hated eps 1 and 2, and have been very cinical about this...
but you guys are going to totally spaz out when you see this!!!!
the CGI is totally awsome (take into consideration that i thought the CGI of the other two looked like a video game), great opening....
the lightsabre fights are infinatley better...
this film made up for alot... alot of loose ends are tied up quite nicley (a couple news left behind, but you can't make an omlet, yadda yadda yadda)...
OVERALL you guys are in for a total treat!
although, and you'll hate me for saying this...
i really didn't like Darth Vader in this at all. i was utterly appauled, and i find that heart breaking... but otherwise it was worth being here at work with insufficient sleep.
Obiwan kicks major ass BTW. as does the emporer...
you've only got four hours to go...
enjoy.

and if you see that australian girl who has been over in the US there camped out for seven weeks to see it... tell her i said hi...
seven weeks, and i saw it 15 hours before her...
WTF? really?
Spoiler... Highlight to read...
(don't highlight and complain, or blame me for not being able to restrain yourselves... you've only 2 and a half hours people) [SPOILER - highlight to read]: it's a combined effort... Palpatine fights him, but mace gets the better, anikan chops his arm off, then palpy zaps him out a window....
I went to a Greater Union cinema... the place was packed, we got there at around 10:20 and the line was already stretched to the entrance to cinema 12 (we were in cinema 8) Luckily my brother found a friend of his, who had been waiting there for 2 hours when we got there. It was worth staying up late and skipping school.
