Estelle Getty gives a great performance as Yoda and only Ed Wood could have directed it better.

Now that I have your attention, please allow to me to blaspheme this most recent Star Wars as the single worst motion picture ever made. It's bad enough to be just "bad" but this movie and all the hype around it manages to transcend badness -- entering into the realm of pure, subliminal marketing evil.
Let's start with why it's just bad. The acting is beyond atrocious. The story is thread-bare. The supporting cast members (robot, puppets, droids) are silly and bolstered by schticky, unfunny, uninspired and smarmy dialogue. It's almost like Bruce Valanche worked on the script. <--- This is not a compliment. Valanche's humor is tacky, unsophisticated and Catskillian. This movie takes that angle and plays it to the hilt.
The movie is evil because millions of people go to see it as though they were hypnotized. There is nothing about this movie which translates into good. It represents everything that is wrong with American films and the anti-American people who make them. Mind you, I am usually to the left on most issues but you have to see this for what it is -- JUNK! Don't be a sucker.
Teach your children and yourself to have taste and sophistication, neither of which will start with this horrible movie.
