That 60 second sequence of Anakin and Pé looking out their sky-rises, separated by miles of futuristic infrastructure and the Coruscant sunset horizons has got to be one of the best scenes from this whole saga. A sci-fi, epic tragedy in every sense of those words.

I’ve been letting this marinate a bit since last night, and honestly has maybe even grown on me just a tad. Combines so many different genres and reaches corners in storytelling that I’ve rarely ever seen before. Everyone and everything captures the era this film was set in beautifully, and don’t even get me started with the music. I’m not the biggest fan of the final act or so, but overall had a blast, it’s hard to complain.

Showed this to one of my good friends - this isn’t the type of movie he usually watches so I can’t emphasise enough how elated I was when we came out and he said he dug the shit out of it. The feeling you get when you show someone you love art you love is unmatched. What more can I say about this film that hasn’t already been said though? Peak horror atmosphere, even more monumental experiencing all its glory on a 20-foot tall-ish screen.

When you think the world has already got practically peak animation, comic book filmmaking and Spider-Man all in one back in 2018… can’t believe I’m saying it, but this might have sured the original.

Bigger and bolder in every conceivable way, yet I think they manage to pull off every single punch they make. Don’t really have the words to describe how happy and strangely invincible this film made me feel, but if there was ever a movie that needs to be seen to be believed - it has to be this one.

The third act 😶
