A truly exceptional prequel !

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2002)

When George Lucas set out to make a prequel to his breathtaking films that went down in history, Star Wars no one thought it would have such mixed reviews. This film even though some people didn't like it I thought it was truly a sight to see. The scale of the movie was very large, just like the originals and it works well with the story. The special effects also set ground for its time. The actors Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, and Jake Loyd all seem well together and seem like there ready to take on the task of going to follow up to Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher.
The Story centers around two jedi who set out to make peace with a greedy trade federation and end a dispute. They end up having to protect the pretty Queen Amidala of Naboo and it starts a full scale battle. Now when they go to Tatooine to fix there ship they pick up a young Anakin Skywalker who has the force and is said to make the force have balance forcing him to leave his mother. Now on the planet which I'm not going to try to spell and try to tell the senate about the invasion which the federation is forcing to do and end up going back to Naboo to fight a war that must end in this pre battle to the horrid clone war years later.

The comic relief of Jar Jar Binks should be more liked because you can't help liking his comedy references. Also we meet R2-D2 and then C3PO the droids and its funny. This blockbuster is accepted in my heart and should be accepted in yours, so let the force be with you...
