Star Wars Lament

Darn! How could I have been so intent on immediate gratification, so childish. It was right there on the screen, before the first episode that was released, began. Why did I not walk right out of the theater as soon as I saw EPISODE IV.

WARNING, SPOILERS below: even though I have not seen Revenge of the Sith, the following contains spoilers for those of you wise enough, unlike my foolish impulsive young self, to have waited the few decades until the opus was complete.

How I envy the mature souls who waited, They have now viewed episodes I and II on DVD before taking in III at the cinema, and then rushing back home, depressed and ucertain whether this is ultimately a tragic story, with baited breath watching IV to VI in one glorious sitting, finally collapsing exhausted but satisfied with the rich reward of their patience.
