    The bottom line is if you haven't seen the movie yet don't waste your money. It was very disappointing. Did anyone else think Vader was more like frankenstein?

    that's like the blurb on the jacket of kickboxer 2 that says that it's even better than kickboxer.

    It was definitely better than the first 2 (I assume so; I don't really remember that much). But yeah, a better, more patient director could have made the movie fabulous - the story was there, but the filler..ohhh the filler. Unfortunately Lucas doesn't care what people think about his movies - he said so himself. It was rumored that he gave the actors about 5 minutes to practice a scene, and then gave them 2 takes max to do it right. And considering what they ended up with...yeesh. I've seen Natalie Portman in other films and she's a very good actress, so the stuff in this movie must have been, uh, hard to work with. "Hold me Ani...Hold me like you did on Naboo..Before politics blah blah" give me a break. Anyways, i have to admit I was moves with sadness at the end, considering the tragedy of it all....And it was exciting to see the opening Star Wars credits, since even though I was raised on the star wars videos, I never got to see it in the theater...

    I'd say it's worth seeing. I've gotten so many mixed opinions on it. But it absolutely does not have the feel and depth of the originals.

    P.S. George Lucas just signed on to produce some sort of live-action Star Wars TV series...God help us

    I am a big Star Wars fan. But I do agree Lucas is almost more a brilliant marketing expert.

    Indeed the first episodes were too difficult to make in the 70s, but the real mystery he saved was ofcourse the change of Anakin. The movie made a big impact on me, but it was disappointing that what we waited 30 years for, was happening in less than 30 minutes.

    All I can say, there was something missing or to movie was too short to my idea. But on the other hand it was not too short. What I mean to say is, Anakin had this tendency to fall to the dark side, but also he had something in the movie very clearly that he was with the Jedi's, but all of a sudden .... I wont tell here, because people have to see the movie.

    I know what you're saying, Mandy. I felt the same way. I thought that Anakin was a bit of a weiner anyway, perhaps it was poor casting for the part, too.

    I have heard that Lucas will license others to make more!

    I sat in a cinema with some annoying commentators (2 boys and 2 girls, with some smuggled beer, I suspect). But they were annoying only at first time. Some of they comments were quite adequate... and may be fun... well when Skywalker has this dull "love talk" with the princess (whatever she was called, I don't remember for now), she goes like:"We'll have a baby..."
    and the comments: "WHAT? Right NOW?!" Another voice goes: "But I've been at the military service for 2 years..."
    Then they discussed why in the distant future they didn't know there would be 2 babies instead of 1... and so on.
