A Waste

Rating: 4/10 (17 May 2002)

Lucas would appear to have lost it. This is a really poor film, indeed so poor just a week after watching it I can remember only a select few moments. The final sabre battle is well done but that really is the only good aspect of this film.
Why an irritating child actor - frequently shouting 'yippee'? Why Jar-Jar Binks - looking like he's lost his way to a computer game? The force can be measured by a blood test?? What happened to the mystery and wonder of the originals? Add to these irritations a very muddled plot, actors that seem rather embarrassed and so much computer animation that it becomes a blur and you have a real dud.
I can only hope that this is a low point for Lucas and the Star Wars series - it really can't get any worse than this.
