I watched Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith for the first time this week.
That was… not as bad as I’d been led to believe. Not good, mind you, but both are dramatically better than The Phantom Menace, which I dozed through in a theater back in ‘99, and couldn’t bear to rewatch via Disney+. (I’m kinda sad I’ve missed out on General Grievous for so long… I’ve gotta give Lucas’s team credit, that’s a brilliant visual design.)
Now I just need to get around to watching The Two Towers and Return of the King and I’ll have finally caught up with mid-2000s pop culture.
Two years later, and I still haven’t watched the last two LOTR movies… hell, I haven’t even made it past the first ep of The Rings of Power. I’m beginning to think Tolkien just leaves me cold.
