I have my pass to the sneak preview of Star Wars, Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith.

I’m feeling a mix of excitement, dread, and at times a strange indifference. Somehow, I know it’s not going to be all I want it to be. All I ask is that

  • there are some memorably good surprises;
  • that they don't leave any confounding continuity errors;
  • that they let the actors act; and,
  • that the dialogue is free of any painfully bad lines.

Okay, so now you can see why I’m not terribly optimistic.

Still, I am excited that I’ve made it this far without reading any spoiler-laden reviews. (I know Kevin Smith has posted one, dagnab him.) So I’m getting close to seeing a Star Wars movie without reading the synopsis or the book first. That'll make this a unique experience for me, however good or bad it turns out to be.
