I just got back from the Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith junket at Skywalker Ranch. As a longtime Star Wars fan -- I saw the original release at age 8 -- it was the thrill of a lifetime, even though I despise the impersonal nature of junkets. My George Lucas interview took place at a table full of 15 other reporters and we had a total of 20 minutes. It's a mad scramble, not unlike a pack of hyenas snapping at a single gazelle. (Three questions were asked, all of them stupid, none of them mine.) Still, I got to see the new film at Skywalker's impressive screening room, projected digitally, and it was truly amazing. I enjoyed it very much, though it may take some time to sort the film itself out from the overall experience. I can't say much more here at the risk of "jumping" a review, but I will say that the overall acting has improved 90% and that the film ties in nicely with Episodes IV-VI, and even casts a whole new light on them.
