Lessons from Obiwan Kenobi, etal

I just got back from seeing ROTS (that's Revenge of the Sith for the uninitiated). George really got it right, again. He could have skipped most of the first two movies, Episodes 1 and 2 and gone right into this one, which was once again character-driven and riveting because of it. OK, there was a lot of young-love angst, sad but true. The lesson comes from Yoda, that fear of loss leads to the dark side. Always. Mr. Lucas is a contemporary of mine, one who loved Saturday matinee serials like Flash Gordon and Captain America. For this 60 year old, it felt like an inside joke for a long time, because so few young people know about this tradition. Indiana Jones is another example of this hommage. How wonderful that the adventures continue. I am going to watch the first 3 movies again, to savor the moment. Today's movie made me remember the wonder of seeing the first one. I noticed as it drew to a close, that the music and tone slipped into the next episode with great ease. Nicely done. And, Yoda kicks butt!
