Better than Battlefield Earth! Worse than anything else. :-(

Rating: 1/10 (31 May 2005)

From 1977 a Star Wars fan until yesterday. Still, rube that I am, I will probably buy the DVD to complete the series. Nonetheless, this film fits comfortably in my personal list of worst ten films seen.
If you deeply admire this film you are 1) 12 years old or younger (either chronologically or psychologically), 2) suffering a terminal case of fandom, or 3) have never seen a big budget CG animated movie before.
Just about everything that is wrong with this film as already been said by others. One flaw I did not see mentioned: Once Obiwan has Anakin hacked to pieces and in flames but still crawlingly alive and full of Dark Side-dedicated miticlorians, while knowing the horrific threat that Anakin is to the galaxy, and having spent strenuous minutes risking his own life to kill him, he just... walks... away! No coup de grace!!!! No making sure the greatest enemy he and the whole d***** galaxy has ever faced is truly, finally, dead? Just, yeah, whatever, real sad, now, guess I'll go check on Padme. Necessary to set up Star Wars 1977, but the last unbelievable plot element in an unbelievably bad story.
Just a piece of junk, but one that'll make Lucas many more millions as a result of people like me (rubes and dupes). Woman behind me at the theatre said it best when the credits rolled, "This movie wasn't half bad. It was all bad!"
