Movie review / no spoilers.
I assume George Lucas really enjoyed making this one! The stunts he couldn’t pull off in the original movies, well they’re all here! It’s full of action and laser beams. It is obvious that the targeted audience are not only Star Wars fans but also kids and teenagers, there was no scene without verbal exchange and conversations were only intense and constant but not deep at all plus the major new character, Anakin’s Padawan learner Asooka is of young age. The direction is really good and very fast paced, and I’m glad the animation took a different route from Miramax and Disney! It’s more like video games.
Things I liked:
The animation.
The storyline was exciting and it was fun to see what happened between episode 2 and 3 although there was no gaps to fill.
New characters.
Things I disliked:
The soundtrack was not Star Wars like, I mean John Williams compared to Sahara sounds and guitars?
The unnecessary conversations and useless comments.
The imitation of Master Yoda’s accent, he was rushing to talk like if he spoke any slower he won’t get it right.
Bottom line: I enjoyed the movie!
Question: Huts are slow walkers and talkers; they have no special powers other than clearly stinking any place plus they’re fairly unintelligent, I wonder where along the way they got their power and high status?
Comment: I think George Lucas is so wrapped up in his Star Wars world that he couldn’t resist but do more Star Wars. He’s so hung up on it first he does 3 episodes and now this! He couldn’t let go and that’s a good thing for us Star Wars fans! :]
