Revenge of the Sith, the last star wars film ever, not on your life.

I doubt that Revenge of the Sith will be the last movie, whether the entire series is remade or George Lucas decides to go ahead with episodes 7,8 and 9, and there is that Star Wars show that will be coming out soon. A real honest to the force series on Star Wars. If they can do anything to the quality of the Star Trek series, well the latest one anyway it would be awesome.
I wonder who it would be about?
Ah well that is for other times.
Now I watched Star Wars III over the weekend and my immensly arrogant opinion still stands on its quality, it wasn't exactly the way I would have done it, but then I ain't the creator of Star Wars George Lucas is and how he does it is how it is meant to turn out.
So what the start of the movie had cliched lines, almost every line in movies now days is cliched, the entire start of the movie was designed to offfset the far more violent and gruesome end of the jedi. Mace Windu's death was not only satisfying it was Anakins first real and last trip down the path of the darkside.
Order 66 and if you only watched a small amount of the movie you would have missed it.
Do you know why General Grevious was coughing too?
Mace Windu.
Count Dooku made a great cameo appearance, and R2 took out two Super Battle Droids all on his own.
And the lines made me laugh that were meant to make me laugh. I love cliches and in reality I didn't come across all that many.
I could watch that opening seqeunce over and over again, it was just so bleeding cool!
I felt genuinely sad when I was meant to and I defiently felt sorry for Vader when he did his big scream.(and laughed a little)
On another note the movie directly follows on from the animated cartoon Clone Wars I and II, which has Mace Windu wiping out entire armies on his own, and Yoda of course. So some points which you don't understand in the movie become clear if you watched it before hand.
And the greatest part about the movie...yep you guessed it the revealing of Palpitine by Anakin and Mace's great finale.
Palpitine was the most surprising, I never beleived he would be like that in a fight, so old and frail does he look in the last three movies.
Yeah as a rabid Star Wars fanactic the movie was great a true dream, if I get a bit critical there were bits that could've been done better but on the whole even critics loved the film, well at the least the few that I've read at least. (Not counting one that wasn't even a proper review.)
General Grevious was a lot cooler in the cartoon, the only reason he seemed so badly injured was because he met a certain jedi.
Yep you guessed it.
Mace Windu.
Crushed bodies anyone?
Yeah anyway, sorry if I was arrogant in my last blog, foo on you!
Nah just joking, but I'm naturally arrogant, because I aspire to be more then anyone of you
Bwahahahahahahhaha

I eat too much...yet I'm not fat

I've begun to realise that I eat too much bad fatty food.
maybe I should cut back a little.
Well anyway I'm having so much fun now, I've got a free for another hour before I have to walk up to the cinema to buy my ticket for Star Wars.
Have you ever thought about how the saying, "We won't leave a stone unturned", that line has become cliche'd now, yet has anyone thought about how truly hard such a task is to do?
If you had to turn every stone you saw you would be spending a long time at it.
Now on to other matters, I have again started to try and write the first chapter of the Guardian Universe, and its bleeding hard, I have to get the start perfect, as it sets the stage for the rest of the events to come and its no small wonder I alwasy steer away from it and write the battles and stuff.
So far I've decided on a kind of dramatic sunrise on Icaria and the Fields of Algaranna, and it introduces Aerie, Sigurd and a black cloaked figure who you can probably guess who it is. However I've noticed that half the reason its so hard is because i haven't done adequate planning for the entire chapter, and what characters I allow to be introduced.
It would be a problem to introduce every single character in the first chapter, as you can see from my last blog I have fifty didn't characters, and some aren't even in the same timeline as the others.
Did I mention that I have three timelines? I am planning to write it so that they all tie into together, so they all have to be devloped together, which is slowing me down a little. And I haven't even really given a serious stag at the second timeline.
Three books in each timeline, and one final book to be rid of any loose ends that are hanging in the air, and which will have the final battle in it. If you don't like fights then you won't like my story, I can be quite a gory writer, when the mood takes me, or a rather depressing writer.
But seriously I really need to sit down and get the first chapter finished satisfactory, or I won't ever start.
I also need to catch up on a lot of school work.
Maybe tonight.
On another note, what some people consider good, some consider crap, while these differing opinions often result in clashes, someone who considers something like Star Wars as crap is a fool, who hasn't really experienced the Star Wars magic and is too focused on comparing it to other films. So what if Star Wars is mostly about its fantastic fight scenes, Lord of the Rings was, Matrix was, X-Men was and many other big blockbuster films.
These films make more money than a lot of other, supposedly higher quality films because they cater for a much wider group of people.
And Star Wars Episode III has recieved some of the best reviews I have ever seen, it rated better then Lord of the Rings.
If you didn't like it, put up with it, your almost alone, in your complete disgust of the movie.
I'll love this series of movies no matter what is thrown my way. Star Wars is and will forever remain cool.

And that's my bit.

True evil never sleeps, never goes away and never can be stepped on with a large and heavy leather boot!

Hmmm....I think I'm meant to be doing some chemistry work but you know what, I really should be doing it.
Logic circuit malfunctioning, boom.
Yeah boom, you heard me, I know you're out there, I will destroy you!

But probably not.
Well anyway I've been going through a vastly new stage of my Guardian Universe story, I've gone back almost one hundred and fifty thousand years into the past of my story, developing characters who hadn't really had much backstory, into deep and very complex characters, with numerous experiences under their sleeves.
My main evil character is one of these, however this evil character is at a present stage where I can't decide if I want to make him good, or not, but when I think about it an almost good evil character who the main characters really don't want to fight, but still do, adds a lot more drama.
I've also began backstory devlopment for a character named Draicon. And if I go back into the history of Eledor's creation, that was his orginal name, however Draicon won't come into it until the last set of books, and he will be freaking cool.
Or at least I hope he will.
Characetrs that still need significant devolepment, include:
Sigurd Alder
Marcus Maree
Prince Findley Felkon
Tael Delvios
Eledor Eldurn
Araluen Eldurn
Tiranna Nirvana
Algaranna
Denothor
Draicon
Yes I count my gods as characters, for reasons which will be revealed in my story when I eventually write it.
Sorbrean
Saldesin
Calden Sey'Exton
Nira
Legault Baldomir
Elessa Eldurn
Siranexon
Tel Kaltha
Rah Mariva
Alec Lancer
Garth
Ajax
Claire Degarra
Toyohashi
Ryoko
Yes as you can see I have an impressive list of characters, most if not already have a rudimentary backstory, though there is no significant history written on them as yet.
Eledor is probably my most heavily worked character, as his history is very complex and anger filled.

And yeah that's about it.
