Thank god for the battle scene at the end.

Rating: 6/10 (28 May 2002)

The thing that made the original series great was that, even though it was sci-fi, it was believable to a large extent. Episode 2 (and Episode 1 for that matter) both throw the notion of believability out the window. From about 5 minutes into the movie until about the last 1/2 hour was nothing but fluff; all cute little things put in by George Lucas to sell tickets....just tell the story.
Because I am such a die-hard Star Wars fan, I still think it was worth the price of admission, but I would have much rather have seen Lucas return to tell the dark story that the Star Wars series really is.
