Milking the "Srar Wars" cow 'till the last drop...

Rating: 1/10 (27 May 2005)

George Lucas has milked the "Star Wars" cow until its last drop, cashing as much as he can on the Francaise name and wonderful memory from the 80's. Legions of SF fans and 80's nostalgics have given him 200 000 000 $ within one week to get in return what? I almost fell out of chair laughing on the old retro suit of Darth Vader - after all high tech rockets, clones, gizmo's..., finally Darth Vader rises with old 80's style suit with big red and green buttons sewed in the chest. All of the sudden the interior of the ships becomes laughably retro and the bad guys put the same Nazi style uniforms from 25 years a go. Even Ed Wood would be jealous on this. The dialog and the acting is mildly said - amateur league, the action although totally CGI-ed left me cold. I caught myself looking at my watch many times and counting minutes until the end after I finished the pop-corn , which was the only fun part in this movie visit of mine.
Avoid by all cost. If you a Star Wars fan, go rent the good old episodes 4,5,6 and don't be another sucker - don't let anyone get rich o your nostalgic memories.
