Been watching Ep3 on Spike and…..
I’m starting to actually like the movie.
They’ve been playing each film twice over the entire weekend. I watched Ep1 one time all the way through and kind of remembered why I liked it so much back in 1999. Ep2 is as unwatchable as ever for me. I only caught snippets of it during it’s two broadcasts. But I found myself getting really into Ep3 both times that it played (last night and this afternoon).
Now this isn’t to say that I’ve magically forgotten all of the plotholes (like who the crap is Sifo-Dyas?); but I just found that I don’t really care anymore. Obviously we’re never going to find out (unless Lucas has a surprise for us in the Clone Wars cartoon), so it doesn’t even matter anymore. I’ve just been able to watch the films and enjoy them for the “put your brain on a shelf” entertainment that they are. Especially all the slapstick droid antics at the beginning of the film.
I think what also helped was the little mini-documentary they played before the film today where Lucas describes the Prequels as turning Darth Vader into a more pathetic character compared to what the OT established. Pathetic is the perfect description of the prequel Vader, so once I got my head around that everything else in the film just clicked into place.
