I will be catching the final episode of the Star Wars saga in less than 24 hours time. Finally the epic saga series of more than 20 years old finally comes to a conclusion, with this episode leading to Episode IV: A New Hope. And with loads of reviews already out for this movie, reviewers and critics have said that this episode which is titled Episode III: The Revenge Of The Sith truly delivers what every single Star Wars fans have been hoping and waiting for. So the hype is not built up for nothing, I certainly think that I will not be disappointed this time round (unlike in Episode I & II) , and will definitely be in for a good roller-coaster ride of my life. *elated*

And in case you were wondering, what was actually the course of actions and innovations that made George Lucas exposed his ingenious ideas and stories about the saga upon the big screen? It was actually about the entire Skywalker family. As we can see, Episode I to III is an insight into the roots of Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker. Because back in the earlier days of Episode IV, V and VI, everyone sees this cool dark-claded with black armour and helmet-mask guy, and keeps asking and wondering who is actually the guy behind that mask, why is he so mysterious and so powerful in terms of the force. That was the reason that prompted George Lucas to make Episode I to III back then, but due to the lack of technology power and insufficient funds he had to hold back his project plans. It was only in the late 90s then did he realised that technology has finally caught up and he was able to bring his long-awaited visions to life on the big screens with a touch of reality to it. (I read that it was the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park by Steven Spielberg that convinced him about the technology advances) That’s all I know, as a fan of Star Wars series though I don’t really deem myself very hardcore, but I really do love the whole Star Wars saga, back then as a kid and even now, as a young adult. I could still barely remember those nostalgic scenes back then when I watched Episode IV, V and VI, that was when I was still in my primary school days as a young child. The nostalgic images of both Darth Vader and Yoda still stays clearly in my mind back in my younger days, and I’m glad that Episode I, II and III are the answers to my doubts and curiosity to those questions that I had about the Star Wars saga when I was a kid. I also think that Episode III will be the most emotional episode out of the whole saga series, as I had already read some parts of the script of the movie. From what I had gathered, in this episode we will get to see how deep Anakin Skywalker will steep as his fear for Padme’s death in his nightmares realises, and the emotional confusion of his dilemma of being torn in-between the Jedi Order he belongs to and his confidante Palpatine/Darth Sidious, whom he tries to lure him towards the dark side of the force. And I can’t wait to see the lightsabre duel battles in this episode, it’s touted to have the most lightsabre battles in any episode of the Star Wars saga.

Before I end tonight’s entry, there’s this quote by Yoda , that I found it to be very true in terms of its meaning, and yet surprisingly shares a shockingly true resemblance of its entire meaning when applied to our daily lives. What a sad quote.

“Careful you must be when sensing the future. The fear of loss is a path to the dark side. Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.”
– Yoda
