Over the last few years creativity in all its forms has been unleashed thanks in no small part to technology, this website is a celebration of that fact. Expect me to waffle on about pretty much anything that might, however tenuously, be linked to art and design.

Revenge of the Sith!


I chickened out the other day, I said that there wasn't much point in writing a 'Sith' review. The truth was that I simply couldn't! Trying to write a review of 'Revenge of the Sith' is like trying to describe what the word 'fluffy' means to someone who has no sense of touch or describing the colour 'light brown' to someone who cannot see, it's astonishingly difficult! Why? Because 'Sith' is a film you 'feel about' rather than 'think about'. As Lucas has pointed out time and time again this is the whole premise of the saga, a kind of fantasy opera if you will, but it wasn't until the credits rolled on this last installment that I really understood what he meant. In short, Lucas can pretty much forget about having to create awesome dialogue because he knows that John Williams has it covered. The music of the Star Wars saga is easily the most important single aspect of the story, it surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the Star Wars galaxy together! 'Revenge of the Sith' is a film that is understood by the heart not the mind. 'Sith' IS the best Star Wars film of that I'm sure. Not the most fun or even the most polished, 'A New Hope' and 'Empire' take those accolades, but the best--the film that defines the whole saga.
