We (being my wife and I and James and LeAnn) saw Episode III on Monday Night. Like everyone is saying it is a dark movie, but it had to be. Anakin Skywalker would not have crossed over to the Dark Side if he only had fell in a field of flowers and scratched his knee. I think that George Lucas did a great job of depicting that we do not change our ways one day. Experiences shape us, people shape us, life shapes us and it is over a period of time not after one thing happening. Moving into the spiritual relem people do not fall away from the faith after not reading their bible one day, no it takes letting our shield down and aloowing influences like friends or family, music, TV, movies, ideologies and philosophies influtrate our thinking when we are not spending time in God’s word or communicating with Him through prayer or worship. It too is journey to the Dark Side.
I think George Lucas did a good job at explaining how things happend leading up to Episode IV. That was the purpsoe of these movies was it not. All in all I am happy with the first three episodes and more than likely will own the box DVD set of all 6.
