Log - 04 November 2011 - The Force in balance.

Having finished watching what I had available of the Star Wars animated series called The Clone Wars on Halloween day, I continued watching the rest of the movies by one each day until today when I watched the last movie in the series. I had not watched any of the Star Wars movies for years since I wanted to start out fresh with the blu-ray release after having seen the movies so many times before in segments and out of order just to study costumes and such things, so they had become more like just simple movies rather than real events happening on screen as movies should feel like when you watch them. Having finally watched them all these years later, I really did get that fresh movie feeling as if everything was really happening, and with the three seasons of The Clone Wars I had in between the second and third movie, that really affected the whole way I looked at them too, having seen more adventures by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Also this time since it seemed so new and real, my mind really got to connect all the movies like never before, thinking in the correct order of events like when seeing Luke as an adult, I thought "that was the boy Padmé gave birth to before she died and Obi-Wan delivered to his aunt and unkle on Tatooine" instead of thinking "Hey look, that's Luke right after he was born" when seeing that scene in the third movie. I see the second trilogy of movies more like they are the aftermath of whatever happened in the first trilogy, rather than the first trilogy being something else building up to the second trilogy. Whatever bad things happened in the first trilogy such as Palpatine taking over the Republic and turning that into the Galactic Empire, Darth Vader getting burnt and put into his protective survival suit, the creation of the Clone Troopers that eventually became the Stormtroopers, the creation of the Death Star, and all the other bad things, all of these things are what you see in the second trilogy. That really amuses me a lot too since the second trilogy that was actually made first from the 1970's to the 1980's and didn't have any so called prequels until 1999 and beyond, then people just complained that this new trilogy called the prequel trilogy was so bad and didn't have anything to do with Star Wars, but now ironically everything has changed with the release of all the movies, and the original trilogy has actually become like the prequel trilogy rather than the prequel trilogy becoming like the original trilogy. That is what I really mean. Also note that a series of six movies is called one movie with six sequels, not three prequels and three sequels, that just sounds stupid. Also the original is usually the first movie, so calling one trilogy the original when this contains the episodes 4 to 6 just sounds confusing too. This is why I have decided to start the trend with calling the trilogies the first trilogy I-III and the second trilogy IV-VI, or in any other case the complete saga as that is how it is supposed to be watched! So get over your middle-aged self who don't like the obviously good first trilogy because it doesn't make you feel like a kid like the second trilogy does. That's why you need to do as I did, stop watching the movies for year and watch them all again in the correct series! It really was a most awesome experience.
