Lucas Thinks We're Stupid......AND HE'S CORRECT!!!

Rating: 1/10 (21 May 2012)

It was bad enough when Lucas shoved the completely unbelievable notion that Luke was Darth Vader's son in "The Empire Strikes Back" down our throats (Hey, when did Darth realize this? A little after trying to kill him in the original movie?). But when he so clumsily tries to tie every loose end together in this horrible film I found myself shaking my head repeatedly in disbelief. Others here have detailed the litany of bad writing, bad acting, leaps of logic and bad direction and I agree. One other element that really bugged me here was the notion of space being incredibly crowded and noisy. See Kubrick's 2001 for a credible notion of the vastness of outer space. In this turkey it's more crowded and noisy that Time's Square at rush hour. Lucas shows no regard for any fan who had paid attention to any of the plot developments from the first three films and it shows. Of the many stupid things that Lucas expects us to swallow is that C3P0 AND R2D2 knew all the main characters generations ago, had superior abilities (apps?), and were not relegated to the scrap heap after a few years use. Hey, my cellphone becomes obsolete after a few months! I could go on and on but others here have done a fine job exposing Lucas' lack of respect for his fan base. But Lucas has laughed to the bank. In fact he may own the bank. We're all suckers for sure. How else can one justify the 7.7 rating?
