Gimics Gimics, and More Gimics

Rating: 1/10 (23 March 1999)

If this were a rating of technical achievement, "Star Wars" would rank very high -- with state-of-the-art animation and groundbreaking visual imagery. But lack of any discernible character development (let alone acting) leaves an icy-cold dissatisfaction. Indeed, the only character with an ounce of "humanity" is the robot. It's ashame that today's younger generation is being so short-changed by the shallowness of our entertainment offerings.
