<p>when every thing's been said. all the blogs have been wrote and read. what a geek with a rebel alliance tattoo to do?</p>
<p>relate it to spiderman, of course.</p>
<p>i said it before. spidey was right. this story, like all stories worth telling, is about a girl. don't believe me? read this tiny (non spoiler) excerpt from the script of sw:e3:rots.</p>
<blockquote>
<dt>ANAKIN</dt>
<dd>You are so beautiful!</dd>
<dt>PADME</dt>
<dd>It's only because I'm so in love ...</dd>
<dt>ANAKIN</dt>
<dd>No, it's because I'm so in love with you.</dd>
<dt>PADME</dt>
<dd>So love has blinded you?</dd>
<dt>ANAKIN</dt>
<dd>Well, that's not exactly what I meant ...</dd>
<dt>PADME</dt>
<dd>But it's probably true!</dd>
</blockquote>
<p>turns out he was, indeed, blinded by love.</p>
<p>file this story under classic tragedy up there with hamlet and oedipus.</p>
<p>and spidey was right about another thing. things always get worse before they get better. for denizens of the star wars galaxy. things get a <b>LOT</b> worse before they get better.</p>
seems like that peter parker knows a thing or two about a thing or two.
