Lucas' Genius Shines Again!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2002)

Thank God!!
George Lucas is back! This is far and away his best project since "Raiders."
The way he handles Anakin going bad is perfect. He nails it.
Count Dooku is probably his most 3-dimensional villain ever (well...except Darth). It will be interesting to see how Dooku evolves, he is truly torn between elements from both sides of the force. I found his scene with Obi-Wan chilling, because Dooku is right (and Yoda doesn't see it).
Unlike Phantom Menace which seemed to be made for kids, this film will probably go over a lot of people's heads (the plot contains a fairly sophisticated economic paradigm). I'm amazed, I frankly didn't realize George still had a film this good in him; it's great to see him take such risks again.
Praise Yoda!!
