Love the format. And I blatantly stole it from Bridget Jones.
I read Bridget Jones' Diary last summer but don't remember much besides phrases like "v.v. good."
I am going to try to guess which two times you almost teared up: At the very end of the fight scene where A.S. says "I hate you!" and O.W.K. says, "I loved you." Or was it one of the 2 times A.S. gets tears in his eyes? Or was it when the clone soldiers are given order #66 and Jedi annihilation ensues? Or did it have to do with younglings? (I'm trying not to be a spoiler.)
Obi-Wan was my favorite character in Sith. My near-tears moments included Obi-Wan's "you were the chosen one" speech after chopping off some legs and, yes, a sad, sad scene involving Anakin and some first-grade Padawans. (I'm not a fan of the word "younglings.") Pretty much all of the Jedi killing was also very sad.
My I-want-to-clap scenes generally included Yoda--Yoda and the Emperor's red guards, Yoda and the recently 66-ordered clones. I also enjoyed the Emperor's crazy flip toward Windu, and the four-armed light saber fight with the wheezy General Grievous. etc.
AHHH!!! I can't read anymore, ya'll are spoiling it!!! I haven't seen the new star wars yet, i'm probably the only person in the world that hasn't but some of us need to wait for our boyfriends to take us because we can't afford to go ourselves. How sad is that? i really need a job. School really makes you so poor. Quite depressing at times.
I haven't seen it yet - Noah go tired of waiting and went last night. Since tomorrow is a holiday, maybe we'll go for FHE.
