The Epic that defies it's critics.

Why did the rebels use tom-tom's on hoth when we know they have the technology to build a snowmobile that could withstand the extreme temperatures. Answer that one for me dusty-7. Let me ask you this question. When was the last time you saw a movie with exquatic places, detailed costumtree, and about fifty different races. We won't even mention the podracing and Lightsaber battle scenes. Let me answer it for you, you haven't. I understand why people think this movie is callow but all of us have a childish side we just aren't willing to allow that side of us to explore this movie. It's because we expect this movie to entrench the hot medium. Star Wars is about imagination even though it contains universal issues. Anyways, comparing Babylon 5 and a Star Wars movie is the like comparing a McDonald's hamburger to a dinner club's hamburger. They're not in the same game or ballpark. And the money and fame issue. Star Wars is for the fans. Lucas made the movie for one reason and that is because he wanted to give his fans the prequels. If it was for the money he would have continued off of Return of the Jedi. I serious doubt that Ewan McGreagor did Obi-wan to be more famous. He already was a popular guy. The acting in this movie is not the actors best at no means but realize this the Star Wars movies are not movies were one actor must strut a masterpiece performance for it to achieve greatness like Citizen Kane. STAR WARS FANS=LIKE THE PHANTOM MENANCE Peace out and may the force be with you
