A Little Geek Moment

So HBO has been showing Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace this month...

First of all, what exactly was "The Phantom Menace"? The other two titles, "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith" made sense but that one was weird.

Anyway, I digress.

Never has one movie been redeemed by one scene than this one is by the fight between the Jedis Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan and Darth Maul.

Not just for the beautiful choreography.

Not just for Darth Maul.

But for the moment after Darth Maul has just killed Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan is standing behind that force field, SEETHING!

Then the field opens and he hops out swinging.

I can't remember a scene in a movie where there was about to be a fight and one of the guys through his facial expression and tense moments said...no...screamed:


I am going to FUCK YOU UP!!!

I can watch this fight any day of the week.

This fight is worth the torture of a thousand Jar-Jar's.
