Chat corner 162: Revenge of the Sith

[annathecrow]

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week, the topic is Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith - the last movie in the Prequel Trilogy, the third movie chronologically, the fourth fifth SW movie filmed, and... fourth third movie in the Machete watching order?

(I had such a hard time picking a fun article to link. The one on wired.com from 2012, which calls it "new"? The 2017 one from time.com written just before the first Sequel movie? The Vanity Fair one that suggests a new "Rey Order"? )

Anyway. If you have thoughts (or feels) about this movie, come and share.

Funny story: although I've never watched all the SW movies in any kind of order (closest I got was one OT movie a week during an exchange), Cleolinda Jones' livetweets of them is one of the things that brought me back into the fandom. I read the whole thing as thread unrolls; it was a complete pain in the rear and I had an amazing time.

Fourth SW movie filmed? Please explain.

Explanation: I can't goddamn write. XD Thanks for catching that!

All good. this post sent me to Wikipedia where I discovered this (and that sent me on a wookieepedia deep-dive to try to figure out whose Venator is in the opening shots. I had forgotten that both the Negotiator and the Resolute are destroyed before the battle of Coruscant)
