I really, Really enjoyed this movie

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 1999)

I found TPM to be quite satisfying considering the hype and the fact that it was written backwards (not entirely, but fleshed out after the movies that it proceeds). In fact, I only had 2 major complaints about the movie. One was Jar Jar Binx, and that's just my personal opinion. The other was the blatant attempt at making the war scenes less violent by using Droids. You can make any number of arguments about how that is a more intelligent and peaceful form of war (as if there was such a thing), but if that's the case, why did the empire use real people for storm troopers many years in the future?
We are currently conducting a long term experiment with somebody who will be watching the movies _in order_, to see if they make sense. (Any person who's watched Episodes IV, V, and VI knows who the dark shadow in the cloak is, and the fate of Anakin Skywalker.) All in all, I thought this was a very good movie.
