The Real Problem

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2002)

This is a great movie...up until the point where someone, ANYONE, starts talking. The original, classic flicks contained some corny dialogue: Alec Guiness' "you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy" is the prime example. And the way the Jedi and the Senators talk in the prequels is consistent with that kind of formal "high-flown" delivery. And therein lies the problem. Since the recent movies concentrate on the story of the galaxy's "nobility", we really miss the more down-to-earth speech of farm boys and smugglers.
