I miss Ford!

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2002)

I'm a child of the 70's and grew up waiting for the next installment up Star Wars (just like many children are doing today) However my wait was for different reasons: The characters. I actually went into a trance like state for weeks wondering, between star wars and The Empire Strikes Back, if Han Solo was dead, whats to become of Luke, and who is Darth Vader? However with the new trilogy well under way what drives us to wait (what seems like light-years) for the next installment. It cant be the story. We all know where it's heading. So it must be the effects. My gripe is this I sat through 2 hours of an unknown personality (and not a very refined one yet) wandering through his mid-jedi crisis, as well as his Louis Lamourish love story, just to get to the special effects. All I could think of when I left the cineplex (other than the sharp pins going through my butt) was that I'm glad DVDs have chapter selections. Because I cannot imagine a child becomi ng as immersed in the last two films as much as I was when I was a child. So if your listening Lucas: Give me Han Solos dad in the next installment, oh and if it's not to weird a casting call let Ford play the role.
