I feel like this ruins a better Follow up Story

Rating: 6/10 (15 April 2018)

The fact that people have said this film is better than what Disney is putting out is something else. Lucas decided to throw out Story for a world building film, which isn't so bad, but in a franchise that prides itself on story, that's a disappointment to me. McGregor does give a stellar performance as Obi-Wan (and I might actually like him more than Alec Guinness) Nesson and Park also give some solid performances, but Lucas's direction feels so odd that sometimes they get lost in the ground. Anakin is a little twerp (which personally is not what I want to see from the future Dark Lord of the Sith) and don't even get me started on Jar Jar Binks. The film isn't all bad, in fact for some it may be a guilty pleasure, the beginning and end are also quite fun to watch (when you're not cringing) but the middle drags on, and feels super boring. The film isn't terrible, but to call it good I'm not sure.
