Takes the Cake

Rating: Null/10 (8 February 1999)

If anyone is going to question George Lucas and his ability to write and direct Episode One, one needs to look no further than this movie here. Not only is this movie a great science-fiction masterpiece, it is a rich, dark, deep, and involving drama that takes this space opera to new heights. While the original was great, this movie improved on it in the basis that it WASN'T a Wild West movie in space. This was the Godfather in space. This was Casablanca in Space. Any great movie you have seen, this is it. It has everything one is looking for, plus the greatest few lines in movie history: "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father." "He told me enough...He told me you killed him." "No, I am your father."
I was only 1 when this movie came out in theatres, so I did not have the chance of seeing this in the theatres and seeing the audiences reaction to this line spoken by Darth Vader. (Actually, I think that I saw the movies in reverse order...because I believe that I always knew that Darth Vader was Luke's father.)
Anyway, great movie, probably one of the, if not the best of all time.
