Lucas must have been high

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2001)

All I have to say is what was Lucas thinking when he created Jar Jar Binks? And don't even say that stupid little creature was there for the kiddies, cause every little kid I know hated Binks. This movie is more like Toy Story than Star Wars, I mean jeez! talk about an over-reliance on CGI. Lucas, you did it in the 70's and early 80's, why can't you do it now. Oh well, guess they don't make SFX like they used to... as for the characters, (the real ones, yes I know, there aren't many) no one really cares about them. I admit, Qui Gon was cool, and I really liked Darth Maul, but that little kid is just too cutesy to be a future Darth Vader. Haley Joel Osment would have been better, he's a better actor anyway. Obi-Wan is pretty stupid. Most of the movie he just follows Qui Gon around asking dumb questions. The Saber fights are cool but don't have the emotion that the older ones had. Hey, look, it's some guy with face paint and a lightsaber...let's fight him! Luke vs. Vader was the ultimate. One more thing, and someone said it before but it hit me when i first saw this...the technology in this movie far surpasses the original three, yet this one takes place 30 years before hand! Did inventors get MORE retarded as time went on or something? oh well, I stated my opinion. (4 out of 10)
