Oh dear oh dear oh dear. What have you gone and done

Rating: 2/10 (29 May 2005)

Firstly, can i state that the three original star wars films are three of my favorite films of all time. I was five when return of the Jedi came out.
There are so many reasons as to why the new star wars films do not sit with the originals it would take me the rest of my life to write them all down here. The only things which are the same are the music (which is brilliant) and the names of the main characters.
Heres a list of things which annoyed me about Revenge of the Sith.
1. There was a light sabre battle every five minutes. In the original films there was really only one light sabre dual and that came at the end of the movies. You looked forward to it. Now in ROTS it has become boring.
2. The Jedi's are far more talented with there light saber's than they were in the original movies. They can do cart wheels and jump over buildings and generally fight whole army's with their light saber's.
3. What was the point of making the storm troopers have different outfits to the ones in the originals. It would have flowed a lot better if they looked the same.
4. George lucas is lazy. In a new hope/empire strikes back and return of the Jedi the back drops are real and are shot on location. Every single shot in the new films are shot in front of a blue/green screen with the cgi added later. Once again this is a reason why it doesn't look like star wars. Its more like lord of the rings set in space.
5. Over acting. Obi-won was guilty of over acting on a number of occasions. And Darth Vaders crying out in the last five minutes was pathetic and made me laugh out loud. Darth Vader appears to be emotionless in near enough every scene in the originals (except when talking with Luke) so to hear him crying out was a bit strange.
6. How convenient was that story line. "oh..., I've had s dream that my wife is going to die giving birth" "you know what, there was an sith called drader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who studied the dark side of the force and found out that he could save peoples lives, so i suggest you let me teach you about the dark side and you will be able to save your bird" "yeh OK then". I cant believe it was that simple. The truth is lucas never thought he would actually ever show anyone how anakin became Vader so never really planned for it. They must have come up with that the day they were supposed to start shooting the scene.
7. How boring was the opening scene which seemed to go on forever. The space traffic looked so unrealistic. The space ships are so different than the ones in the originals. What is the point of this. The original ones looked realistic so why change them so dramatically.
8. Why, when the emperor gave the order to kill the Jedi's did the Jedi's lay down and die. Previously in the film, obi-won and anakin took on whole armies and defeated them but when the story line requires them to be killed they suddenly become helpless.
9. George lucas cannot direct actors. The other films were brilliant and lucas didn't direct them.
10. Can someone tell me the point of introducing the wookies in ROTS. They played no role in the film.
11. what the *uck is a younglin!!!!!!!!!!!! George Lucas you SUCK!!!!!!!!
