Definitely a "Prequel"

Rating: 6/10 (27 May 1999)

This film was pretty good, although not quite up to "Star Wars" standards. The film is certainly a "prequel," and you'll need all of your fingers and toes to count the loose ends which will be tied up in later episodes. The best part about the movie: the light saber fights were as well choreographed as anything Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers have done. The worst part: the computer-generated effects (although very good) are still not quite realistic, and at times give the impression that the movie is a big cartoon.
