... I will be with my wife watching the latest STAR WARS! It's weird, my wife didn't really get into Star Wars when it was only the trilogy, but she has come on board with the whole thing with me at the cinema... but oddly enough, she still hasn't watched the original three movies!
Anyway, I've spent the better part of the last couple of weeks, studiously avoiding any internet spoilers or anything like that... and to not get any last minute spoilers, I'm going off the internet for the rest of the day and the morning tomorrow! It would be terrible to have survived this long and then only get it wrecked at the end, just before the movie starts!
So, we are tying this movie in the afternoon with an anniversary dinner at a really nice Mexican restaurant that we had previously gone to before... and where I first became acquainted with REAL Mexican food! I have to say that it is really quite stunning... the cuisine is nothing like what I had been exposed to beforehand... so, I'm really quite happy to be returning there again... I even remember that they had a really nice red ale that I might order again, but this time I will have something different for the mains... even though the cocoa chicken was pretty damn awesome!
I have spent a few minutes revisiting some of the best scenes in the movies that have past... and still jumping clear of any spoilers for the new movie. Although, I guess I should stop checking out YouTube or my luck will run out soon...
This above scene was one of my all time favourites... the moment when Yoda connects with his inner bad-arse and comes a hair's breadth away from defeating Dooku! I remember when this scene showed in the cinema... the place just went wild when Yoda forced pulled out his lightsaber... and the duel afterwards is awesome, with the little old green guy running rings around the Sith.
I was a huge fan of Rogue One... I definitely think it was THE best of the most recent films... and this ending scene of the standalone movie was one of the most EPIC moments which would set up the original trilogy of movies. Rogue One had all the makings of a real tragedy, epic and cathartic... but this ending was that little ray of hope that made the film just so amazing from a narrative point of view.
