Ep 3 X 2
I saw Revenge of the Sith again. As I expected, I liked it better the second time around. Then again, I was even able to tolerate Jar Jar in Phantom Menace by the third or fourth time around.
I think this time I was able to see Anakin’s desperation more, where before I was mostly reading him as angry. I still think most of the problems in the movie hinge on the weakness of Padme’s character. She’s just so dislikable in this movie that I can’t see anyone loving her enough to go to the extremes Anakin did. And lets not even get into the fact that she didn’t have the “will to live” for her children.
So many of the glaring problems could have been solved with just a few little tweaks to the plot. It’s times like these that I think I would be happy having a career rewriting other people’s scripts.
