Apostrophe S

I’ve been at my new job 2 full weeks now. I’ve been in town a few more days than that. Overall, I’d say I like my new job and my new surroundings. But there will be more on Oregon later.

I saw Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith before I left Indiana, and I’ve been too frustrated to write anything about it. The whole prequel series was just a letdown. To be sure, Sith was the best of its trilogy, but still lacked something. I’ve spent hours and hours discussing it in detail with other nerds thus far, so I won’t bore you with my reasoning and thinking. But because of my dissappointment, I was forced to seek out something that would restore my faith in the Force. I found it in the animated Star Wars: Clone Wars series. I watched all 25 chapters in a row and I must say I felt more satisfied after watching them than I did after watching any of the prequels. They are overflowing with action, and the shear amount of story they pack into such short of a format is amazing. We get to see Anakin become a Jedi Knight! We get to see where General Greivous’ nasty cough came from! We (kind of) get to see how Anakin got his face scar! We get to see ObiWan dressed as a Stormtrooper! They even got the voices pretty close. (Anthony Daniels was the only film cast member to contribute his voice, at least I think.)

To sum it up, fire up your favorite P2P program and find Star Wars: Clone Wars now. It’s the whole story. Now they just need a series that tells the story of what happened between Episodes I and II.
