Finally a worthy successor to the original trilogy!

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2002)

After the disappointment I felt with "The Phantom Menace, I am very pleased to say that the series is back on track with "Episode 2". Yoda, R2D2, and C3P0 are finally given more screen time and Jar Jar only has about 2 minutes of screen time. PERFECT! The droids have always provided the comic relief and they just don't need the annoying hijinks of Jar Jar. I'm rating this movie a "9" out of "10", only dropping one star because of some hokey dialogue in the love story. But Lucas has really redeemed the series with this one and now I'm really looking forward to "Episode 3."
