A dreadful ending

Rating: 1/10 (31 August 2005)

George Lucas how you have fallen. Your work used to be much better than this. You have always been a technical guy. The effects are very good but the story was, how should I put it, awful. This is a travesty of the original series. The only reason I can come up with as to why you have done this, is that you needed the money.
The single worst thing in this movie is Darth Vader. He turns to the Dark Side not because he was corrupted or evil, but simply because he was a moron. He kills his wife in a fit of anger and loses his limbs in a stupid attempt to kill Kenobi. This is no master of evil, he is a simpleton who becomes a puppet of the emperor. Darth Vader is the Forrest Gump of the Star Wars universe.
George, you have desecrated your own work. Go home and enjoy the money, if you can. Whatever you do NEVER direct anything again and for god's sake let someone else write the script for you. Don't feel like you have to do another Indiana Jones movie. If War of the Worlds is any indication, Steven Spielberg has lost it too. I don't want you to destroy another great movie. You have lost it. Go home and watch Lord of the Rings, maybe then you can remember how it is done.
