At last we got to know how our beloved Luke Skywalker and his annoying sister got conceived. Young Any and Amidala team up to create a psudo impossible sinful love story as the not very old Senator falls in

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2002)

After the Phantom Menace, I've decided to boycott any movie bearing the Star Wars brand except for sure the original trilogy which I still think of as the `original', for sentimental reasons, and I bet all the people who grew up with a Darth Vader lunch box and Luke Skywalker Pjs would understand how disappointing the phantom menace was. After 3 weeks or so of the release of episode II I decided to disregard my prejudices and go see the new Lucas addition to the Star Wars Saga, especially after reading good reviews about it. To be honest, it was better than the Phantom Menace but still no where near as good as any of the old stuff. The Characters are well defined and deep, and although I liked young `Any' my liking can't change the fact that the boy can't act, besides the image of little 'Any' in diapers being protected by Amidala made me think along the lines of a `sinful' amoral relationship bit of child molesting on the former queen's side..ugghh. The movie was a bit slow till the last 20 minutes. Too much animation made the set look unreal, and Youda was much bigger when he was a man in the empire strikes back.. and more real too. In addition I would like to add a bit of `borrowing' Like the beginning of the movie the city looked very `blade runner' `the 5th element' kind. The warms to kill the Senator were borrowed from the `Dune' Mini series, in addition to some of the beautiful Arab looking palaces in Nabu that was `Dune' too. The asteroids field was very much `farscapish' a bit on the side of warmhole technology. Don't get me wrong Lucas is a great guy , he gave us the original trilogy and that is just mea hardcore Star Wars fan.
