Alright so listen- there is no room for hate towards any of the other Star Wars movies. Because the original trilogy is legendary. And you have to appreciate the background information presented in the Phantom Menace because it's crafted so carefully. And honestly, the final battle scene in Attack of the Clones is so FANTASTIC that I had a poster of it in my bedroom growing up. Also can we take a second to talk about the new ones? Because Rogue One, The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi LITERALLY kept me on the edge of my seat.


But my all time favorite Star Wars movie will always be Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. And here's why:

1. The inner conflict is unreal from the very beginning.


Admit it- everyone wanted Count Dooku to die. But it's not the Jedi way and Anakin knew he shouldn't. He did it anyway. UGH.

2. The risky side comments.


The humor in this movie gets me every time because they could literally die at any moment and they don't even care.

3. Obi Wan doing his thing.


His character either brings comic relief or total domination to every situation. There is no in between.

4. The tragic love story between Anakin and Padmé.


Forbidden love. Pregnant with twins. I just love them together.

5. He did it all for her.


Anakin's nightmares that foreshadow Padmé's death really were too much to bear after the loss of his mother, so can we really blame him for wanting to protect the love of his life? But like she says, "he's going down a path she can't follow", and this will ultimately be the end of them.

6. This terrible, manipulative, awful Sith Lord who I hate (if you can't tell).


I blame the Chancellor for everything. Literally all his fault.

7. Mace Fricken Windu.


A badass Jedi with a badass purple light saber. He didn't deserve to DIE.

8. When the master and padawan actually work together.


They were such a good team. Dynamic duo right there.

9. Yoda.

Don't underestimate him.

10. I mean, he's just the best.


A little green fireball of fury and force. (P.S. this is one of my dad's favorite scenes).

11. And he knows everything.


ANAKIN SHOULD HAVE LISTENED.

12. Having a sidekick like R2D2.


The most faithful droid anyone could ask for.

13. Also how cool is this guy?


Don't even know what this thing is called but it gets Obi Wan to where he needs to be so it's AWESOME.

14. The point of no return.


We all know it's over when we see this look in his eyes.

15. When Padmé tries to reach him one last time.


It's too late. He's already turned to the dark side. But I love her for trying.

16. You know your heart drops after the execution of Order 66.


Whose great idea was it to order the Clone Troopers to turn against their Jedi leaders? OH I KNOW, CHANCELLOR-I-HATE-YOU-PALPATINE.

17. The moment right before it all goes to hell.


You all know what's coming.

18. Absolutely heartbreaking chaos.


This. Whole. Entire. Scene. Oh. My. God.

19. The betrayal, the dark side, the end of an era.


My heart really goes out to Obi Wan. He truly saw the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker.

20. Padmé cares about him until the very end.


Even after he practically chokes her to death (which I hate him for doing but it's all so conflicting since he did all of this FOR HER).

21. And the only thing worse than losing her forever...


Her pregnancy, her broken heart, her tragic death. Still not over it.

22. Is watching him lose her forever.

BECAUSE HE DID IT ALL FOR HER.

23. Even though Anakin was gone the second Darth Vader was born, I'll always remember him just like this.

Shoutout to my dad for introducing me to one of my favorite movie series of all time. Between the insane graphics, the badass characters, the awesome plot, and the forbidden love story, Revenge of the Sith will always be the best.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
