The theater in which I caught the 20th anniversary re-release took me back to that time.
It’s a small, local theater, with three screens and zero recliners.
I still love Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan, though.
I reserve the right to change my mind again in another 20 years.
Not you, Andor.
Theres obviously a lot of stuff that doesnt work, too.
The editing is bizarre, with many scenes beginning a solid five seconds before anyone speaks.
The dialogue is often dreadful, especially the romantic conversations.
And Anakins turn to the dark side doesnt feel fully earned.
His final decision almost feels like a coin flip.
But theres so much cool stuff that the movie will always be a flawed, but beautiful object.
The movie is like that a minefield of beautiful and terrible moments.
And decades later, thats still enough for me to love it.
