DISAPPOINTING (STILL)... here's why:

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2002)

What was the true attraction of the original Star Wars? The awesome and unstoppable power of Darth Vader. The whole story revolves (rightly) around him. Although fairly interesting, the `creating of Darth Vader' can logically never be as riveting as the fully mature version. Which would you prefer to watch, Macbeth in action at the peak of his career or Macbeth as a young lad unsure of where his future lies? That's why regardless of the depths (or lack) of creative story-telling in these three 'prequels', all will fall short of the final (original) version. At best it can be a suspense-filled build up to the full monty.
