jdsanders-21163 Okay, this movie was just wtf. Obi Wan, the evil guy from the first movie is a teenager and he goes onto what looks like the Death Star from the first movie with a doughnut ring around it and he starts busting up these robot guys. (And yet he claimed to go there to negotiate.) Then we go to this swamp and we meet up with this annoying pink frog thing - ugh! What is that thing?!?! Then he goes to a desert - the same planet from the first and third movie, and we meet Luke's dad as a child. Wow. What a coincidence! Luke was an orphan on a desert planet and so was his father! Even dumber, the same planet! What a rip off of the first movie. But as far as I know, it is probably not a rip off of a Nazi propaganda film, but it pokes jabs at Republicans. The main antagonist, Nute Gunray, name wise is similar to Newt Gingrich.

George Taylor A good start to the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker and the birth of Darth Vader. A fun, if grim and at times humorless film, the weakest part is the kid who plays young Anakin. He's just not that good in the role, but honestly , George should have had someone like lawrence kasdan come in and tweak the script. If one hates writing, then why write? Still the look of the film clearly shows how it will evolve into the later movies, something other Prequels (like Enterprise, utterly fail at).

rorgil The plot was engaging I felt like I knew the characters,sure there was a over use of CGI,but all around a good film

alcantaraj-16594 When I watch a movie, I hate when someone's disturbing me. When I saw this, I gladly paused the movie and gave our dogs a bath. Of course, I had to continue watching "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace." It was..... sleepy. Man, with tons of dialogue you'd think that a writer on the level of George Lucas could at least make an interesting line. But, sadly, he did not. This movie (not the actors) deserved the hate it got.
