Wooden Acting

Rating: 6/10 (17 May 2002)

For those who care about the Star Wars extended universe the are lots of nice bits and pieces to keep you entertained. The story seems excessively drawn out and a bit strained. Why would Senator Amidala fall for the petulant and pouting Anakin? Because she has to for the story line. For all their wisdom the Jedi Council fails to see what is really needed here -- Anakin needs a good smack in the pants. Obi-Wan has the parenting skills of Homer Simpson. Anakin = Bart Simpson with a Light Saber.
