Circus comes to town

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2002)

Yeah that's right this movie was a circus from start to finish. When you have a 2 feet tall 400 year old man in a lightsaber battle you have a circus on your hands. Not just that, when Obi Wan can't figure something out and it takes a 10 year old child to point out the correct answer you have a circus. When 3P0 uses the phrase "what a drag" as his head is being dragged you have a circus. Having Darth Vader say "I like it here its soft and smooth just like you" you have lost control of this movie. I would have liked to have done a rewrite on this script because if it didn't have the circus material it'd be a great movie. Instead we have Obi Wan going to some diner and asking the fat slob chef alien the answer to a question he can't figure out. I kept asking myself would Alec Guinness as Obi Wan say that stuff. Flat out circus!
