Two Minute Thursday: Episode III

A Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....I would update this blog everyday!

Welcome back to the drill!!!

Well for you hardcore Star Wars fans, THIS is it. This is the day you have all been waiting for! The Saga is now complete. Revenge of the Sith opened @ midnite today in theatres nationwide. For many, this was the end of a lloonngg journey that began when George Lucas first announced that he was doing prequels to his first three Star Wars films.

I hope the wait was worth it for those people that waited like weeks and weeks to be the first in line. Although this movie had to seriously kick ass to justify losing like seven weeks of your life. Hmm..just my thoughts.

I'll be checking out the Star Wars saga this weekend and see what this is all about. As far as Star Wars go, I have only seen "Return of the Jedi" (Episode VI..hehehe) and never really got caught up in the hype like alot of my friends did. We'll see how it goes. (Special thanks to Arturo M. for hookin it up with the DVD's)

Other than Star Wars the next big thing going on is E3. The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3, get it?) Lame humor aside the big 3 of games (Nintendo,Sony and Microsoft) unvieled their next generation of game systems. Here are some pics of the systems that will be vying for your hard earned cash later this year and next year:

First up the Xbox 360 (Release date: Holiday 2005)

Next up the Playstation 3. (Release Date: Spring 2006)

And last but in no way least, The Nintendo Revolution (Release Date: TBA 2006. Rumored to be Summer)

Who will win this next round in the video games? The gamers of course. ;-)

 

In honor of Star Wars, just wanted to leave you all with a  "Top 10" list from "The Late Show with David Letterman" This one is actually talking about Episode I. Enjoy and see you next time!
