It was pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2005)

I am a fan of the originals and I went to see it opening night like everyone else did twenty two years earlier. It was enjoyable to see it continuing for the younger generation and I kept an open mind. I was not disappointed. Lucas did a good job although the Jar-Jar Binks character should not have had as big a part and legions of fans still hate him. Another flaw was that Darth Maul didn't have a big enough part. He could have really been something had his character been given more lines and screen time. Not as big as Vader but still big. Other than those two things I would say it was commendable for not having any of the original cast with the exception of McDermid who is a big plus in my book. A solid actor if there ever was one and a nice guy so I hear.
