Birth of the Empire

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2005)

Just saw the movie this weekend and it's excellent for its genre. The thread in the plot where Anakin is lured by the dark side and turns into the evil George Bush is quite compelling. Kind of puts the other movies into context, like the "Attack Of The Clones", the exception being that the feeble minded clones are not controlled by blind religious fervor and unquestionable obedience to their masters/makers, only the latter is needed for the movie version. Also of note is how Palpatine Cheney gets control of the senate by deception, hypocrisy and underhanded actions and brings about the destruction of the Jedi's. And so the birth of the Empire commences.
