Not a fitting end to the legacy

Rating: 4/10 (22 May 2005)

The effects by today's standards were average. There was too much of these average effects crowding out any story. Many parts of the story didn't flow together. This movie was essentially forced.
This movie did not end with "closure" as in EP 1, 4 and 6. It didn't end with "anticipation" as in Ep 2 and 5. It ended with a sigh.
The children in the theatre obviously didn't enjoy it. The adults files out of the theatre afterwards in a glum manner. The only sounds that were heard from the audience during the movie were two apparently stoned individuals in the back laughing at the antics (which didn't appear to be humorous) of the two shortest of the main character, Yoda and R2-D2. They were just basically laughing at the little people.
*spoiler* This last movie is a tragedy in two senses of the word: a tragedy as the kind of story where all does NOT end well; and a tragedy that the Star Wars saga would have this as its last gasp to its former greatness.
