The film was negatively impacted by the absence of Han and Leia

Rating: 3/10 (25 May 1999)

Although grand in scope and full of magnificent special effects, the film was not able to equal the earlier films due to the absence of Han and Leia. Their wit and romantic interest made up for the rather bland Jedi knights and provided spark to the dialogue of the earlier films, whereas the inclusion of the moronic Jar-Jar Binks in this film hurt it.
