Points of Interest to Film Studies Students:

Personal View:

Of the 3 films, I think this was the most depressing. Not depressing in film quality, it was a great film, but its mood was a black one, and as it was part 1 of a 2 part story it left a strange feeling in its audience, despair. I think this is what George Lucas wanted his audiance to feel, so that SW3 would lift everyones spirits.

Misc. Notes:

Catchphrases

"I have a really bad feeling about this"

"Use the Force"
