Hello.
I saw Episode II last night. I am a complete human being last night.
Few points. While it was a good movie, definately better than Episode I (Jar Jar DID get aproximately 11sec of screen time, though...), I still get the same lingering feeling I got at the en of Phantom Menace. And that feeling is - they simply cannot get the same effect as the first three.
It was a good movie. If you wanna see Jedi fightining, this is the movie. If you want to learn who Boba Fett is, this is the movie. f you wanna see Yoda take out a dark lord of the Sith, this is the movie. But even given the massive collection of special effects they have at their disposal, the older, simpler movies still seem more spectacular (well, except maybe Return of the Jedi - I never did like those koala-things much - it all should have ended with The Empire Strikes Back, but that's me).
And on that note, I must vanish back into the cold shadowy void that is Southern California. Until then...!

'Cept Hawaii DOES get 'warm', and California, at least the Southern part, has a tendancy to get 'cool'. I didn't expect I'd need long jeans and a light jacket, but durring the evenings they're often required.
As for shadowy, there are three atmospheric conditions around here - Sunny, Overcast, and Foggy. That's all to be said, there.
And finally, Jedi isn't all bad. The whole thing with Vader/Luke/Palpatine is nice. And i think a few other things are good. And the Ewoks aren't completely...'bleh'? But I've never been overly fond of them, s'all.
