I will always love the story-line, the director, the science fiction, but...

Rating: Null/10 (26 December 2001)

Let me start out by saying I admire Samuel L. Jackson's body of work as an actor. I respect that he is one of the top 50 actors in the world...
Okay now, here's my problem... and believe me it's my problem because I'm sitting out their in Po-dunk watching your movie that I paid a ticket for...

Why did they cast Samuel L. Jackson as one of the Jedi Buddha's? What the bloody $#@*%&/ where they thinking. Sorry but you should of put a alien face on him and now it's too late. He is too recognizable and you didn't suspend belief for one microsecond ... you fired it out of a laser cannon.

What happened to the magic of using unknowns? Sometimes we like to get to learn to know people (strangers) without their box office draw figures being part of the criteria in casting. But then again... to counter that thought>>>
What about little Darth's Mom? Why her? Who was she related too? How did you pry her picture off the box of Metamucil and get her to move around. I know what they were looking for. I can practically read the casting specs. "Down to earth Mom type. Strong but quiet and a co-dependent quality about her so we can somehow make sense of how little Darthy went bad in the years before the Jedi could detect his mita-chloride particles that had run amuck.

Sure it's hard to top a movie as great and legendary as this one. But for God's sake. Please be dutiful with the casting from now on!!! I'm sure we'd like to see more aliens that don't have legs and arms as well. How about a few telekinetic amoeba that use flatulence as a weapon and a greeting?
