Do you remember those times...

Rating: 4/10 (19 May 2005)

I quite enjoyed Episode III. But in the end (especially during the last shots) I felt like "I want to see IV - VI again!" Now that the episodes are complete, when I look back I sure remember Han Solo! I sure remember the chasing through the Death Star tunnels. I sure remember the Millennium Falcon and the X-Wings! I sure remember ... Those have all become small parts of my youth memories.
But I - III? When I watched III I couldn't hardly remember the characters from I and the plot of II (which plot?). Everything seems to be so sterile, a real "designer movie" without depth, just FX which become boring after 30mins. III being a little exception, but hey, it's about how Annakin turned evil, that _has_ to be better than "how he fell in love with Padme"! The only character I remember (I'd rather not) is this dreadful Jar Jar Bings (?), and that's a real (--).
Maybe I'm just an outgrown Star Wars fan, and there's a younger audience now who will remember Count Docu (or what was his name? I already forgot... you see?), this red-faced light-saber guy with little horns on his forehead in Episode I (no chance, don't remember his name...), and those endlessly stupid "battle droids"...
But go watch III, it makes some points up compared to I & II.
