Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. (Rifftrax, color, 2000something) Honestly, I don’t know if I’ll get through this. It’s 2 and a half hours long. I doubt there’s much of a real plot, and it ends with Obi Wan bringing baby Luke to Uncle Ben on Tatooine—so right into Star Wars (no, not calling it Episode 4 or A New Hope. I saw Star Wars in a movie theater in 1978. It is called Star Wars). Anyway, in this movie I guess whatever the hell "Sith" is/are, it/they get revenge on something. I don't know what the Sith's pronouns are. The Sith are probably cis. The first twelve minutes are nonstop spaceship battle then killing walking shoe trees on foot, on way to an elevator. r2d2 can do pretty much anything. Ewan McGregor is playing Alec Guinness playing Ben Kenobi. He’s buddies with the tween that will be Darth Vader. Since I know the last scene, Vader must get Natalie Portman pregnant in this movie. Twins, Luke and Leah. I could conceivably enjoy this movie on its own. I’ll check in later, but so far so good. The riff is pretty good, though I’d rather nothing be bleeped out. Samuel Jackson inspired a bunch of bleeped out stuff from Bill. I do get that the bleeping is part of the joke, I guess. Still, I'd just as soon hear Bill, or maybe it was Kevin, say Let's kill these motherfucking Sith (or whatever) than listen to bleeps. Movie is kinda boring, but Natalie Portman’s hair is entertaining. 42mins in. 50 now, and Wookiees and robots and those things with shoe tree heads are all having some sorta ground battle. Somewhere, for some reason. The movie is mostly meetings now. Ok, finished watching it. It was ok, a few laughs. It’s too long and dull to ever watch again. I was wrong about thinking I could enjoy the movie on it's own based on my love of the original Star Wars. This was mostly noise. The movie looks great and the FX hold up but it was second tier overall for me. It is worth one watch for sure. But overall enjoyment, Second Tier
