Geek Rant #1

Today's Midday Matinee is Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It is so because I say it is so. I have much power in these parts.

Anyway, I'm a giant nerd/geek/dork/loser/whateverI'mstillawesomesothere, and I like to look up trivia on the movies that I know and love and/or saw 6 times in the theatres before watching a million more times on two-disc DVD. IMDB is generally my favorite place to find random bits of trivia.

Moments ago, my mind was literally just blown. According to the trivia page on IMDB.com, TOM STOPPARD did a "script polish" on Revenge of the Sith.

What?

WHAT?

Tom Stoppard. The drama geek's Tom Stoppard. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead Tom Stoppard did a script polish on Revenge of the Sith.

And now, the question remains; why the hell is it still nowhere near as good as The Empire Strikes Back?
