Pathetic marketing tool for action figures and other movie related promotions

Rating: 5/10 (23 June 2001)

I would be embarrassed for George Lucas if I did not believe the deficiencies in this film were a result of his greed to sell Star Wars toys to a new generation of consumers.Jar Jar Binks, a child actor who cannot act,a screenplay written over a weekend,and a weak effort to use special effects to hide how bad the movie was.I suppose the Ewoks all those years ago were an indication of what was to come but I had blanked their existence from my consciousness.How much money do you need Mr Lucas?Are you far enough ahead yet to return to movie making in time for Episode 2?If not I boldly predict Episode 3 will be direct to video.
