Episode 1: The Quest for MO MONEY

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 1999)

I suppose you can't blame a movie for hype...(or can you?)
This movie is entertaining (isn't that what it's all about?) and has its good and bad points, but worth the price of admission.
PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS:
-Mr. Lucas has raised the bar on effects again, awesome visuals.
-I don't like Jar Jar JARHEAD and didn't like the Ewoks either, so THERE...
-Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor were fantastic. Natalie Portman very good.
-Light plot, but fun to find out the "secrets" behind other storylines in the first (or is it LATER?) films.
-I thought the movie was SHORT. I was thoroughly entertained, and didn't notice the drags I keep hearing about.
-I thought some of the scenes were directly from the other movies (fight scenes, tatooine town, awards ceremony). BUT, that's not so bad...
So see it and ENJOY it, I did twice.
