I was just scrolling through movie-list (Friday afternoon skiving? Me?) and decided to watch the trailer for the new Star wars film, because I'm a bit of a geek like that. You might have noticed.
It wasn't the trailer that made me laugh out loud, though, it was the plot synopsis of the new film:
"After three years of fighting in the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker begins his journey towards the Dark Side of the Force, putting his friendship with Obi Wan Kenobi and his marriage at risk."
"Putting his friendship and his marriage at risk"?
I mean, talk about understatement.
Then again, with George Lucas writing the script, I suppose anything is possible:
Anakin: I was thinking about turning to the Dark Side
Obi-Wan: Ooooh, that might jeopardise our friendship, you know.
Amidala: And I might go off you a bit
Anakin: No you wouldn't
Amidala: No I wouldn't.
