Re: OT - Star Wars Ep III
Well I finally got to see Star Wars Ep. III...and damn was it ever good.
Have you ever gone to a theater, watched a movie, then when the movie ends you feel as though you are still in the world the movie created? Star Wars created this feeling for me this evening, and it is very rare for me to experience it.
The effects were nothing less than awe-inspiring, and the story was deep...and dark. Much darker than any of the other movies. Yet its very darkness makes it appealing in an age of sugar-coated movies where everything turns out well in the end. It's refreshing to say the least when a movie shows that the good guys don't always win, that people never "live happily ever after".
It was almost gut-wrenching to experience the betrayal by Skywalker, the slaughter of all those Jedi...the story was so immersive I found myself feeling as though I was there, watching the entire thing first hand, experiencing all the emotions to go along with it...a rare thing indeed.
As you can tell, I liked it. A lot.
One thing I can't understand though. After Obi Wan sliced off Anakin's legs and arm, why did he just leave him there to combust and die a slow, painful death? He claimed Anakin was like a brother too him, and yet if that was so, why did he not just kill him, bring the end quickly? Just something that didn't totally make sense to me.

Because, following latest trends, the hero must always be responcible for the villians evil.

Re: OT - Star Wars Ep III
Obi-wan said that Anakin was like a brother to him. Could you kill your own brother? It doesn't matter what he has done, it just isn't possible, if he has any time to think about it, to kill Anakin.
When they're fighting, it's all reflex. And after the leap, Obi-wan takes the easy strikes at the legs and arm. But after, he has a moment to stop and think about it, and can't bring himself to kill the man who he has trained for years, since Anakin was a small boy.
After watching the movie, I thought of how the following films would have been different if Yoda went after Anakin, while Obi-wan went after Palpatine/Sidious. Or what would have happened if both confronted Palpatine/Sidious first, then confronted Anakin later. But, from the story, it was inevitable that things happened the way they did in the movie, so that is how it is.
