boring remake

Rating: Null/10 (9 September 1999)

I saw a great movie the other day. A SF movie. Let me quickly tell you the story: (minor spoiler!)
There is this planet of the good guys. The bad guys are after them, they have huge space ships and they land an invasion army of robot like marines, the good guys (a princess among them) manage to escape, barely though, their little space ship gets damaged. So they have to repair it, the scene changes, there is a dessert planent and some irrelevant action, then we are on a planet with lots of forrests, there is a pseudo primitive and cute species on it, first they do not want, but then they help the good guys. But they are in trouble, the good guy's fighter ships have to destroy the power station of a huge space station, so we see lots of dogfighting, also there is a laser sword duel between the good knight and the dark knight, in a modern looking setting with an abyss, and the good knight gets killed. But the good ones destroy the space station and this stops the action of the bad guys. So they celebrate a victory party.
Sorry, I should have told you the movie was not Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Yedi. It was a new one, a sort of Remake with modern computer graphics. I enjoyed the visuals, but I was bored by the action, since I knew it from the original movie, where the actors infused some life into the plot. I just wonder, why they call a remake Episode I?
