The True Beginning

Rating: Null/10 (16 November 2003)

This film can pretty much be seen as the true beginning of the Star Wars saga. We get to see how Anakin and Princess Amidala fell in love and married leading to the births of Luke and Leia. We also see what could have been the origins of how the empire began with the first appearance of the emperor. Also we see for the first time the true relationship of Anakin and Owen. But most of all we get a glimpse of the plans for the Death Star.

As far as the movie goes, it does move slow in the first half, especially when dealing with the love affair of Anakin and Amidala. The only time it picks up is when we get closer to the end and witness the battle between the clones and the the Jedis. This film was okay, but it was nothing like the original (actually second) trilogy.
