I am going to do something I told myself I would not do: write a serious post about Revenge of the Sith, and about the Star Wars universe in general. As ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kwalton said once, they're only movies. But they have some interesting messages in them, and the lack of critical thought with which some people -- especially teenagers -- seem to accept to underlying precepts bothers me a bit. Although I have to confess that, while I saw Phantom Menace several times (and IV, V, and VI more than I can count), I have seen the other two of the first three only once. (I intend to see Sith again -- Attack of the Clones I found next to unwatchable.)
(Part of this arose from a discussion with my son, who at fourteen is a more nuanced thinker than I was at twenty. He scares me a bit, but that's another story.)
( Okay, so there are spoilers. A few, anyway, although I don't think it would surpsrise anyone who has read the reviews. )
