More Star Wars fun! (What else do you really expect during times such as
these?)
I went to go see it for the second time today, and payed more attention to the
story and foreshadowing that Episode 2 provides. There's really a whole lot
there if you just look for it. Some people even think that Anakin may turn out
to be Darth Vader.
The movie may have a love story, but here's a real Star Wars love story
about a man who proposed to his girlfriend during the midnight premiere. It
turns out they had meet in line waiting for the midnight premiere of Episode
1. Awwwwww :)
And now for some "darker" Star Wars stuff. First up is a chilling sataire piece
on the Rebel's terrorist
attack on the Empire. Gives the vantage point that terrorism is a relative
thing. (and And getting off tangent here, but all the hoopla over
Bush "knowing" about the 9/11 attacks is getting on my nerves. Sure he may have
heard reports about a possible attack, but if we chased after every single
possible attack or rumor, we would drown ourselves in chasing invisible leads.
To think that our president knew and didn't do anything and let thousands of
people die just isn't the least bit plausable. Hindsight is always
20/20.
There is also an article making it's rounds across the net about how Empire was really good and shouldn't have been destroyed. Once again
uses some crazy reasoning, but it's quite entertaining.
$116
million in 4 days domestically, $183 million worldwide, and $88 million over
the weekend. That's a lot of money. Enough to make it the second fastest movie
ever to reach $100 million, and have the 3rd highest weekend on record. You just
know movie theaters are loving this.
