I just saw this movie yesterday; and I was honestly dissapointed with it. Here's my review; entitled...
Has George Lucas Joined the Dark Side?Let me start with with the beginning of this movie; Warner Brothers instead of 20th Century Fox? What's up with that?; And where the hell was the classic opening sequence ALL OTHER STAR WARS MOVIES have?! Seriously, this movie simply showed the title for the movie, and a man narrated it (vocally). They could have done that part with the classic intro sequences.
As for the story itself, it revolves around Anakin, Obi Wan, and Asoka (Anakin's Padawan) going on a rescue mission for (not a senator, fellow Jedi, or anyone else that you would consider critical for the war) but Jabba the Hutt's baby son. :huh: Wow. I think we now officially have a character even worse than the Ewoks or Jar Jar Binks. Other than that, the story really didn't catch my interest; it was pretty predictable. It could have worked slightly better on a TV mini series, but it didn't on the large screen.
Another character I'd like to bring up is Zero the Hutt. It looks like a female, and sounds like a female; but guess what? It's actually Jabba the Hutt's
UNCLE. Is Lucas Film now promoting homosexuallity on Star Wars fans?!?!
As for the animation, it was pretty stiff; and the characters look like they were made out of Play Doh.
This may have worked well with very young audiences who are new to the Star Wars universe. But this is a serious blow to huge Star Wars fans who watched all six movies and such.
Final Score: 1.5 out of 5
