Appropriately, the kiddo was wearing his Darth Vader shirt.
- Rewatching Star Wars: A New Hope
We watched Star Wars last night, the DVD version. It’s been about four years since I last saw it. When Revenge of the Sith came out, we came home and immediately re-watched A New Hope, then caught the next two films over the following week or so.

It seems that the Dark Side continues to dominate the destiny of at least one Burger King franchise.

- If you’re not with me…
Regarding the furor over Revenge of the Sith/Post-9/11 parallels: Get over yourselves. You know, I could see parallels in Star Wars: Episode II and post-9/11 America. Palpatine’s emergency powers = PATRIOT Act. Militarization in response to the separatist movement = attacking Afghanistan and rattling sabers at Iraq. And there are conspiracy theorists who think that […]
