I went to see AOTC today. Six of us went from work. I do not want to ruin it for anyone, but let me say I did not blink the last 45 minutes... oh yea and I am now in love with Natalie Portman... yeow! She grew up a bit... oh yea and Yoda is the shit!
What shall I start with... hmmm it seems to me that AOTC has gotten slammed by the critics... not true... Time does not think it's bad, neither did USA Today. I think that when a movie has this much hype people are going to go in expecting it to wipe thier ass for them. It is what it is, I liked it, hell I loved it! So for all of you who would rather tell me the critics hated it than go and see for yourself, keep it to yourself. Your wasting your breath on me, I've already made up my mind.
I already have a Skywalker ANH saber and a Vader ANH saber. If you'd like one of your own go to Master Replicas, they make very good replicas of some of the sabers and weapons in Star Wars. Of course all true Jedi build thier own sabers.
If you'd like to build your own props, I'd recomend a board like Prop Planet or A.S.A.P. ... I think, I must be crazy, I want to make a pilot clone costume... to fine! If you'd like to build R2 then I'd suggest Droidboy. I want one!
