Star Wars is now dead.

Rating: 1/10 (9 December 2012)

When the first ewok showed up in Star Wars three I knew that the whole fantasy was finished. However I didn't foresee that Lucas would trash the previous two with idiotic CGI and effects borrowed from Star Trek. That was bad enough but this film has so much rubbish in it that Star Wars can be said to be officially dead. Alec Guinness was right – he never wanted to do another episode after the New Hope and it is hard to believe that the original won 7 Oscars. Whatever moron thought up Jar Jar Binks he should remember that he has single handedly destroyed the finest Sci Fi film ever made. Back in 1977 I was in London and remember the larger-than-life photos in Leicester Square and the sense of wonder as we all caught our breath during the final chase scene. Nowadays the name Star Wars simply invokes a sense of disgust.
