Laura,

I left right after the “arise, Darth Vader” scene, basically.

I think where I am right now is that I’m willing and interested to see the end, but I don’t want to sit through the first hour and a half again.

By “formally became” do you mean “that cheesy bit where Palpatine is all ‘I dub thee Lord Vader’” or do you mean the bit where they put him in the Vader suit?

Because if it’s the I-dub-thee bit, there’s some marvelous imagery near the end than just wrung my heart (but you have to ignore the remaining dialogue, bleah). If it’s the Vader suit, you’ve already seen like 90% of the interesting imagery.

Wait for the DVD if you must. The entire last hour felt like a frantic attempt to either attach or cauterize all the loose ends left over after the slacking off Lucas did during the previous 2 episodes.

Lucas really should have left it alone after the first trilogy. The second trilogy was all wood (as in ‘wooden acting’), plastic (as in the look of the effects) and marketing tie-ins.

I enjoyed the movie, warts and all. But then again, I also liked Ep 2, for I am forgiving of warts. Even Star Warts. Yes, it’s weirdly sterile in places, and Lucas can’t write romance, but it also made me cheer, and in one particular place, mist up. Which, frankly, is a first for Lucas movies for me.

I’ll probably go see it again in the theaters just, y’know, for the spectacle angle of it all.

There is one well done scene right at the end that is worth seeing, but I’d wait for the DVD.

I’d pay to see the last hour again.

In fact, I’ve already paid to see the whole thing 3 times already.
