Excellent Effects With Incomplete Plot(revisited)

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2005)

The plot isn't without error or inconsistency. When our friends our battling it out in the beginning, it isn't even explained very well who the enemy is. Well, at least where the loyalties of the enemy fleet belong. The argument used by a certain dark side character is troublesome at best with the explanation given to understand why Anniken changes over to the dark side.
The special effects of the film are amazing, and likely the best part of the film. I wouldn't consider the acting to be superb, but the film was very nearly pure action anyway. You can get away with these things when your people are slugging it out most of the time . The dude who played Anniken was given a very difficult part, so it would be unfair to hold anything against him. He was intended to be a war torn hero, but Lucas didn't really allow time to explain that.
