I decided to rewatch all Star Wars films in chronological order.

Saw Episode I - The Phantom Menace yesterday evening.

Not a great film, but it will get better. 😉 I did enjoy seeing Darth Maul, though.

1/12 done, if I counted correctly.

Just finished Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

One quote struck me, as is more relevant today than it was at the film's release:

In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic
Empire, for a safe and secure society which I assure you will last for ten thousand years. (Palpatine)

With the Senate's applause, the Republic turned into an authoritarian regime.

4/12 films (re-)watched.

For security and stability, many modern societies seem to be happy to give up their hard-earned freedom and rights.
