a story ends

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2005)

Before seeing this movie, i was afraid Christensen wasn't going to pull off this role, i mean look how innocent his peach face looked in Attack of the Clones. Even now i'm really surprised of his performance. He has truly transformed. His stare is an extraordinary feat! So EVIL. And for someone so young! I don't think someone looking tougher wouldn't have been so livable. That evil spark in his eyes, but his tone so sure he's doing good. Things don't go so well when he starts speaking, he's still a bit fake, but he has potential. I'm disappointed by Amidala. Portman is a good actress, but i don't see her struggling, suffering. It's all on the surface. Palpatine is wonderful:the tone of his voice, the body language, all exquisitely calculated. Chewbaca, i never really liked him. i think Lucas has a lot of these bug in the story, things that are useless, that don't add up. but i forgive him! Looking back at all the movies, it seems to me that aliens are really done wrong. i mean there either stupid, corny, or they are similar to humans, mentally speaking(Yoda, of course)
All in all, thanks, George, for telling us this beautiful and naive story. if i have to say it in two words, star wars has been heart warming
