2yr. old daughter's reaction

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 1999)

I loved the movie. But, the most important realization for me was seeing my 2yr. old daughter's reaction to the light-sabre fight between the Jedi's and Darth Maul. She made motions with her hand and started yelling Yah! Yah!.... I realized then, that this is what Star Wars is about. So much of my childhood centered around the movies and toys from the original, and now this is an experience much the same for a new generation. The critics, I feel, have mis-understood the intent of this movie. It's not to make history, or to appeal to movie-critics. It's goal is to instill dreams (and make money).
