Walking through history...

So, I've been going through and tagging things, starting from the beginning. Partly because I like exploring these things and how I used to feel.
( history )

And thus it was that 2001 was tagged. I'll do 2002-2005 later. Perhaps tonight.

This is my default filter. If you can read this entry, I read (or at least skim) you every time that I read my flist.

A take-off on the saying, "Sometimes the dragon wins." And now I have a BSG icon!

The Force is with me (Star Wars)

So, I've now rewatched the entirety of the Imperial Trilogy (saw someone use the terms 'Republic Trilogy' and 'Imperial Trilogy' and went... oh! That's a much better way of putting it than 'Original' or 'Classic' versus 'Prequel'.).

So, I can't see Darth Vader anymore. All I see is Anakin Skywalker. There were several moments, over the course of the films, when I would say, "Oh, Ani," in this mournful way. Because... it hurts, to see him like that, trapped in so many ways.

And Luke and Leia have such cute kisses (I may have to make myself an icon of at least one of them). The two surprise ones in ANH, the big 'showing Han' one in ESB and then I could swear that Leia kisses Luke after she's recovered him from Cloud City (and I think he kisses her good-bye in RotJ).

Han really reminded me of Anakin, which was amusing, because so does Leia! Like attracting to like, I suppose.

I loved the new films so much because of how they've changed my view of Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Artoo and Threepio. The whole thing is just so much deeper. I was amazed at how much I cared about all the characters.

The first two movies of the Republic Trilogy have already arrived via netflix. I was shocked at the speed! I now plan on watching them tonight.
