How can one do this....?

Rating: 4/10 (11 December 2005)

I think everyone I've talked to who've seen this movie was disappointed one way or another. My reaction was "What was that !?". I couldn't believe that I just saw a movie that had "Star Wars" as part of its title. It was just like another bad sci-fi movie that didn't have any good plot or memorable characters in it. Usage of CGI was unrestrained and got annoying after a while. I felt like saying "Okay, I see that you got lots of money and people to use on computer graphics; stop it already." and what's worse, they didn't look all that realistic. The magic of the first 3 Star Wars saga was gone on this movie, where visual effects were truly revolutionary, and the concept unquestionably so also. This was just another sci-fi movie. Well, what's wrong with that ? Lucas raised his own bars and couldn't match his earlier efforts despite the massive usage of computers. It makes you think what makes a great movie, if putting unlimited resources on to a project isn't the answer.
