Rating: 4/10 (7 June 1999)

We took our little kids to the original trilogy: our 20-something daughter took us to Star Wars I. We liked various bits and pieces, but overall thought it was poorly written, very badly acted (or the actors were very badly directed), and way too artificially-generated. Yoda reminded me how really good Frank Oz is, and how "human" puppets can be. The ethnic/racial stereotyping struck all of us, independently, as inappropriate. In fact, that was the first thing everyone mentioned as we left the theater. I wouldn't see it again, even on tape.
