Getting back to what star wars is

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2002)

This movie was what the first movie should have been. Lucas realized his errors. His error was that his target market should not have been the little kids of today, but the little kids of 30 years ago. Many of the key themes that made star wars 4-6 work, returned in episode II, and were lacking in episode I. With Episode I, it was completely unlike every other star wars movie. I am still not sure what it was, but everything about it was irrelevant to the story line of star wars. Episode II on the other hand, is in the line of what you might expect from a star wars move. However, this movie does need a Han sol type person. You know, a charming maverick that normally looks out for himself, but can not help but do the right thing time after time.
PS: I still think that jar-jar's body should have flown by in the cold vacuum of space right after the intro.
