Calling Dr. Spock

Rating: 7/10 (23 May 2005)

I'm a heterosexual American male born in 1971 so I'm part of a group of people that has a difficult time knowing where the "real" world stops and Star Wars begins  but damn. I guess it's my fault for thinking about the story and not just enjoying the movie. But it frustrates me that the catalyst for the fall of Anakin Skywalker and the rise of Darth Vader is the lack of a good ob-gyn and some decent prenatal care. I know a C-section scar may have marred Padme's lovely, lovely abdomen, but a killing spree isn't an appropriate response for a concerned husband and expecting father. What would have happened if she had trouble losing the baby weight? Darth Vader was a tragic hero on par with Othello, and with this movie George Lucas reduced him to O.J. Simpson.
