Last night I went to watch Star Wars Episode 3 with my parents. Left Fencing Masters with Maurice and the rest telling me I might learn something... heh.... I don't think I will give any spoilers, just somethings to reflect on.... But ardent fans may not want to risk it....

If you are one of the above

Go away

Vamoose

Disappear

Dematierialize

Fade out

Still here? Ok, read at your risk:

First, something my parents keep telling me, and which hopefully I will keep: No premmature relationship! Its interesting to note that this is another conflict precipitated by the love of a female... NB: I have NOTHING against females ok, its just a fact. Back to the topic... Mr Anakin Skywalker doesn't seem to love Padme as much as he claims to be. Maybe he views his concern as love, but when it came to her admonishing him about his downward spiral then all he does is get angry and "Don't you turn against me to". Yeah. Right. Hmmm... I hope in the future I would not be that bad to whoever-I-meet. I say if he'd left it a bit longer instead of rushing into a relationship he MIGHT have been able to do better... then he would have just struck down the Emperor there and then.

Second: The damage of pride and possession. Its because certain parties in the show just couldn't let go of certain other parties that led to the dark side of the former certain party. It gave me a lot of things to think about today. This, coupled with the fact that the show ended only 11.40pm last night ended up with me being exceeedingly blur today. I think sometimes I feel too much for certain things also, or maybe certain people. If it came to the crunch, well, I dunno. I don't think I'd be able to do what we think was so obvious for Anakin to do. Whao, I got dark side behaviour yeah.... its like sometimes I feel like I may do something over my head just to protect / please / keep someone happy..

Third: Respect for authority. The clone troopers displayed that a wee bit too admirably in the show... ah well.... Ever wondered why in all the books lightsabres short circuit in contact with water, but then in Episode 2 obiwan fights in the rain? Ever wonder why they don't short circuit when killing people, cos we ARE a high percentage of water? Ok, back to the point.... Argh, if Anakin had listened to orders from the Jedi then nothing would have happened! In fact, he would not even have lost his arm in Episode 2! In fact, just stick to your training! Whoa, useful for St. John life. Especially when your training can cost someone his life... "Hmm, his ribs are broken, shall I still do CPR?" or even worst "Do i remove the padding from his penetrating chest injury to do effective CPR?" The difference between ObiWan and Anakin was that ObiWan obeyed Yoda to do something he didn't want to, trusting the authority of his senior.

Fourth: I didnt learn anything about fencing technique. I discovered Jedi n Sith spend more time waving their weightless beams of light about rather that hitting each other. Argh, Obi wan could have killed Anakin simply by extended his arm which Anakin was leaping at him! There was one sequence where both of them were pressed against each other, just CQC for goodness sake! Its not like you're restricted to only hitting with your point! I was severely agitated, as you can tell... hahah...

Yup... i can't remember the other things I wanted to write, may add then in at a later date.... but these were essentially the ones I had things to talk about...

NB: Luke is the older twin??? I thought LEIA was the older twin... thats what comes of having an older sister.... hehe
