The circle is now complete


Finally, I've fully watched my Episode III DVD. And when I say fully, I mean deleted scenes (interesting ones, this time), documentaries, commentaries and other bonuses included. Oh, and the movie itself, of course. Great contents for a very good DVD. But still there are a few snags.
The main documentary, Within a Minute, seems perfect to me. It's centered around a specific forty-something seconds long scene, and how it was created, from script to screen. But, of course, it's almost all special effects. That sequence doesn't have even a single line of dialogue.
And also there is the now obligatory audio commentary to hear while seeing the movie. Well, that revolves round special effects too. Lucas, scriptwriter, director and producer, is the only person who speaks from time to time about the story, or the characters. Not very brightening. I wish all DVDs were more like the Special Edition of Spartacus, or like the Expanded Editions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Let's dream.
So, everything is about the special effects?. Well, almost everything it is. You only have to see the Easter Egg to realize it. Seriously, not that funny.
