Lucas simply wanted to make money...

Rating: 4/10 (4 December 2007)

...so he wrote and directed a movie for children, complete with an annoying comic character (Jar Jar Binxs) doing exceedingly stupid things during the whole movie, a lot of visual effects and a very simple story. The young Anakin Skywalker, instead of being a shy boy with a little dark sparkle is haughty and unbearable as the majority of children in the average '80s American comedy. But the worst thing Lucas did, the one that I (and millions of fan) can't forgive, it's the pseudo-scientific explanation of the Force as the result of a symbiotic organism living in the blood cells of the Jedi... No explanation was needed! The Force is simply a mystical power that pervades the universe and that's enough. Shame on you, George!
