Vast improvement over Episode 1

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2002)

This movie works, even with the difficult task of bringing back some interest after the pathetic Episode 1, and of being #2 in a trilogy so it can offer no closure at the end. I am not sure how good teenage Darth Vader is as an actor, but I choose to believe that his stiffness and occasional awkwardness were signs of youth and hints of a flawed personality that would later allow him to become the evil James Earl Jones. I see they could not resist making a large number of the Jedi knights female, I guess to make certain little girls would also buy toy light sabers but it did not have a major impact on the credibility. A DEFINITE MUST SEE, IF ONLY TO GET THE TASTE OF EPISODE 1 OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.
