Day 74: Two Act 2s from Star Wars

Since Star Wars became available digitally, I have been on a mission to rewatch them. The question was always what order to watch the movies.  I decided to go with the infamous "Machete Order" of the movies.  This is a famous order started by some fans.  They suggest watching IV, V, II, III and then endingwith VI.  This seems to make sense to me.  Also skipping one sounds good because Phantom Menace is the most disappointing experience I have ever had in a movie theater.  (and I saw Transformers IV this year).

So I happen to have watched Empire Strikes Back and Attack of the Clones in the past two days.  Empire is my favorite Star Wars movie.  Great story, dark ending, and great dialogue.  The one fault of the Machete Order is that by going from Empire to the prequels is really highlights how terrible the dialogue and acting are in the pre-quels.  One of the only redeeming aspects of Attack of the Clones is the Yoda battle with Count Dooku.  That was really fun to watch.

Next up are the two Act 3s, Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi.  I remember the third prequel being the only watchable one, but I haven;t seen it in a long time, so I hope that is true.

Walking wise, things are going well.  Eating wise not so much.  Stress equals eating in my world and it was a stressful week.  So the pounds have stopped going down, but they are not going up.

Overall Empire Strikes Back gets a 285 out of 290.
Attack of the Clones gets a 220 outof 290.
