No longer a Star Wars fan now

Rating: 2/10 (25 May 1999)

This was positively the worst movie I have seen in quite some time. It is very unfortunate that Lucas let this get through the editing process. Some decent special effects, but they were so blatently computer generated that it detracted from the movie. The acting was ok. The light-saber fight scenes were good, but Jackie Chan is at least 20 times better at choreographing fight scenes. I will never again watch this one, and probably will write off the next 2. I am hoping that the third trilogy follows the Heir to the Empire books, even a bad director could make those books shine. All in all, I must give it two thumbs down. I wish it was better, but it really was the biggest disappointment I've had in a long time.
