A good but not great addition to the star wars franchise

Rating: 1/10 (2 December 2009)

People are actually going to hate this movie completely because of jar jar Binks? besides that name being just as awesome as Jabba the Hutt, or Han Solo, he wasn't that bad of a supporting character. Yeah he speaks in a slightly Jamaican dialect, that's not racist. Just lazy. If any person was raised in Jamaica they would speak the native Patwa language. I don't see Sasquatch gathering lawyers to sue Lucas for rights to Chewbacca's character likeness.
It had big flaws. The cool thing about the old star wars trilogy is it didn't try to be establish itself. There were warriors and bounty hunters and princesses and crime syndicates. That was all it needed, no explanation, yet a story that a good 6th of the earths population will never forget. .... the new one, kinda screwed up with the pseudo-rational politics and the "not sci-fi, Science!" thing that they did with the force and light sabers and such. BUT! Natalie Portman, Ewan Mcgregor, Christopher Lee, Samuel L Jackson, and Liam f****** Neeson. along with a pod racing scene that was so original and exciting. There was some great choreography and compelling light saber battles. None of us could have come up with the original 3 films. I mean, Empire was so awesome. Trust me i understand how much those films meant to us, they were just as much our movies as George's. But the sad truth is THEY ARE HIS FILMS. he can do whatever he wants. no sci-fi is ever gonna be as good as The Empire Strikes Back T_T
