It's fine

Rating: 6/10 (29 August 2019)

This movie, unlike the first in the prequel trilogy, feels very drawn out. The senate sequences are still pretty interesting to follow if it's your first watch but it gets tedious after a while. While it would be very interesting to see a planet-wide city in a Star Wars movie, this wasn't done very well. We're shown a few rooms, views through these rooms, views during chases that also feel bland, and not much else. The changes between scenery are appreciated, but not very well done, since we see very little of those different planets. They're just a backdrop. There is only one really intriguing part to the movie, and that is Obi Wan's journey into space to find a hidden space station. That's about it. There's not much to this movie, it serves to bridge the gap between two much better ones. It's the one I usually skip when rewatching the whole franchise.
