This film was awful - as bad as The Phantom Menace, but without anything as good as the Darth Maul light sabre fight. I was checking my watch throughout the film, waiting for it to be over.
Episodes I-III have been a lesson in how not to make a film. Aside from the unbelievable characters, planets, spaceships, droids etc, terrible script, poor acting, awful direction, horrendous reliance on CGI, this film highlighted one thing - Lucas hasn't actually watched the original (and phenomenal) trilogy. For example:
Luke: Leia... do you remember your mother? Your real mother? Leia: Just a little bit. She died when I was very young.
Err according to New Lucas, she died when Leia was three seconds old! hmmm...
I will say, however, that this film did have one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen - when Darth Vader finds out Padme is dead. It isn't supposed to be funny, but is hilarious!
Mr Lucas - come on now, you've had your joke, you've had your bit of fun, now can you make Episodes I-III properly?
