This is the rob blatt blog.

Every now and again I get a hankering to watch the original trilogy again. No need to ask what trilogy, you should know. The last time I actually sat down and watched all three movies was their re-release into theatres back when I was graduating high school. It was cool, because I thought I had an adult mind that could absorb the movies a little better than I had been able to previous. As it turns out I marked out pretty easily and sat there like the fanboy I was. It’s not a bad thing, but it happened.

Well, there’s an essay that’s been on the web for years but has just gotten the attention of the high level blogs called “A New Sith or Revenge of the Hope”. This has made me want to watch the three movies again witht he knowledge that this gives. It’s an interesting theory and I love the idea of the two characters in the story that people take for granted are the two most important without anyone realising it.

Here’s the only part of the text I’m going to re-post:

En route to Alderaan, R2 and Chewie play stop-motion chess. This is the latest in a series of games they’ve played over the year in the back rooms of space stations and cantinas across the galaxy, but this is the first time they’ve done it in front of their respective straight men, so they put on a big show.

In a word: AWESOME.

I’m sensing a Star Wars marathon soon.
