A friend who does a LiveJournal pointed this out to me, and I like it. (Well, duh).

My Star Wars fangirl habit has long since been kicked (pretty much), but I thought you guys might like to see this, too.

And I realize I'm incredibly gullible for hoping that Episode III will be good. Hope springs eternal, and all that. [Smile]

Well, the things that made the first three good were Harrison Ford, the death star, and Darth Vader. So this one might be better than Episode 1 or 2, but it still won't be good.

But it has Ewan McGregor! [Big Grin]

I suppose there is something to be said for the legion of femmes who will watch this movie out of a desire to count Obi-Wan's beauty marks, though I'm betting it's not what George had in mind...

*wiggles eyebrows* Is that your lightsaber, or are you just happy to see me?" [Monkeys]

Save that for WenchCon! [Wink]

And why ain'tchoo on AIM?

I can't get all Ewan-crazy at WenchCon! That's like apples and oranges (mmm... fragrant Scottish fruits [Evil]

)

But he has the sweetest profile *sigh*

It's not like I think his movies are all great or anything. I HATED Down with Love. It reminded me of why those old Doris Day movies my parents used to watch made me so angry. GGrrrraaarrr!

But the StarWars thing... I saw a pic of EpII Anakin, too, and he had scars and stuff. It was cool.

The fight scenes in the prequels have been good. Sort of funny that the Obi-Wan promo shots were all lightsaber-drawm, ready-to-fight shots, and this first one is so static for EpIII.

I wonder if he'll come up with a way to explain why the EpIV fight scene was so bleh, other than that they 're old by that time. Because Qui-Gon was supposed to be in his sixties or something, and he fought well in the first one.

I should sooo stop trying to make this make sense. *blows nose* Nothing makes sense when you have a fever, and this stuff doesn't even when you don't.
