Caffeine Free Diet Star Wars

Rating: 5/10 (7 July 2010)

Let's face it. Star Wars has officially became a children's film. We true Star Wars fans have to suffer because there are a few eight-year-old brats in the audience. Where do I start. Jar Jar Binks, just a scam to get kids under the age of five to watch the movie. He doesn't add really anything to the movie accept stupidity. And Anikan, Lucas had to go and make the future Dark Lord of the Sith a soccer playing brat. And Suebulba, All they had to do is put a white t-shirt and leather jacket on him, slick his hair back, and put a pack of smokes in his shirt sleeve. That would have made it fine. Obi-Wan being the wise old hermit that he is should have more lines than "yes master". The other wise old hermit that we new as Yoda is now a bumbling know-it-all. At least Samuel L. Jackson gave a great portrayal of Mace Windu. Darth Maul should have been seen more than a ten minute lightsaber battle (which was amazing). Qui-Gon is a very wise Jedi but takes up too much of Obi-Wan's screen time. Viceroy Gunray and his partner are (very) bad Chinese imitations. Too many bad guys for one movie. I think the total number of them is five. That's just too many. And how obvious is Lucas making it that Senetor Papatine is going to be the Emporor.
This movie is okay but Lucas has gone mad with the CGI. I can understand that he loves being able to use it but almost every other character is computer generated. Back in the Original Trilogy Lucas used real people in very convincing costumes, puppets, stop-motion animation, and models that were all hand built. IF was good then than why couldn't it be good now.
THis movie is good but lacks the greatness of the Original Trilogy.
