A mix of "Barney in Space" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"

Rating: 1/10 (1 September 2006)

To tell the truth, this didn't fell like a STAR WARS movie nor a George Lucas movie. It felt more like a mix of "Barney in Space" and Tim Burton's CHARLIE IN THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY! What happened? What made George Lucas slip? Maybe it was because of the Ewoks in RETURN OF THE JEDI! Curse you, Ewoks! Anyway, by far the worst film in the series! The only good part of the film was the good acting from Liam Neeson! And then they had Neeson play second fiddle to some kid named Jake Lloyd! I think the film SHOULD HAVE BEEN focused on the characters of Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor, and I think the storyline should have been about them hiding Queen Padme in a hidden fortress or something on Naboo! The podracer shmick and the adults putting their lives in the hands of a kid is the same as having Batman save Gotham from the clutches of the muppet Miss Piggy! WHOAH! Good day!
