get over yourselves

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2002)

Star Wars is what it always has been. I am a huge Star Wars fan, and I will admit, Star Wars is cheesy. It always has been. Anybody who wants to complain about bad acting had best recall the originals. Anyone who wants to complain about cheesy lines had best recall the originals. And if you fell in love with Star Wars when A New Hope first came out, but want to now say that the story just isn't any good, then you are fooling yourself. Nobody loved A New Hope because the story was great. People who fell in love with it in the 70's did so because of the special effects and anybody who says different is either a bad judge of good plots or a liar. I admit, the special effects in The Phantom Menace were, for the most part, not up to par with those of the originals. This movie is different. In this movie, they are better. If you did not like this movie because of any of the above reasons, then what the hell were you doing watching Star Wars in the first place. And if you feel like blaming George Lucas for doing such a bad job, get over yourself, it's not his fault that you are a sucker. Way to go, George! Here's to Episode Three!!!
