all show and no go

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 1999)

This film was, as confirmed by Lucasfilm Ltd., 95% special effects and 0% actual story. My complaints include the extended podracing sequence (I'm sure George Lucas could have saved a couple mill by reducing that by 45 seconds) and the war between the droids and the sea people. (By the way, what was that thing the fish was holding up at the end of the movie? I'm not reading the books to find out). Although it had its moments, it doesn't live up to its legacy.
