Over/under on number of Yoda-speak posts is 18.

Take the over, so says I.

[Fitzcarraldo]

How is it possible that Lucas could have satisfied himself with the notion that the destruction of the galactic democracy and the triumph of evil over good could all have sprung from a single lousy pregnancy?

[NeoCaveman]

Still go see it I must.

Too me, even if bites movie.

"Cuddling and foreplay? A Jedi craves not these things!"-Yoda on sex....

Well I agree with Podhoretz the reason Darth went to the dark side seems really lame, but the rest of the review seems more about grammatical critique more than a review.

"I picked up tickets to my local theatres midnight showing."

Good idea. Go while it's dark to avoid being seen.

[MadIvan]

I find his lack of faith disturbing.

[DoctorMichael]

Bad I feel.

[Lazamataz]

LOL! I love this scathing review. I'll still see the movie, but this review is priceless. :o)

[Sir Gawain]

But that's the trend these days in movie-making. Villains aren't blatantly, flat-out evil, they're just "confused" and "misunderstood". They had a bad childhood, blah blah blah.

If you watch the recent Lucas interview on AOL, you'll hear him say that Vader was never intended to be a plain-ole one dimensional bad guy. The entire story of Star Wars was always originally about a fall from grace and then redemption. There is no watering down of Vader. It's just that all we saw with the old movies was Vader as villain.

[Always Right]

Still go see it I must.

and make money the movie will.

[Horatio Gates]

It's all downhill from there.

Yes. Hard to see, a bad movie is.

[Destro]

Ditto. The force as a result of nanotechnology? What the crap? It is supposed to be an expression of will and soul and the virgin birth? Lucas made it up as he went along it seems.

[Caesar Soze]

Dang it! This is a review for Star Wars III, not Star Wars VI. The mod should remove this or put a spoiler alert in the title or something.

[Destro]

There is a reason Empire strikes back was the best - it was written and directed by others.

[Yo-Yo]

More ... and I mean much more ... Jar Jar Binks

NOOOOOOO! Just the thought brings about a great disturbance in the force.

[CougarGA7]

I have to go see it just to see that pathetic excuse for an actor that plays Anakin get thrown into the lava.

[Tax-chick]

By the lake at Nauvoo?

LOL!

This review is hysterical - reminds me of Mark Steyn!

[Sax]

Star Wars types don't care about reviews, boycotts, or anything else. Hell, they wouldn't care if George Lucas ran down their own mother while she was crossing the road, they're going to see this movie come hell or high water.

Lucas is a very savy business man at the very least. Rapid fans falling all over themselves to hand him their money. More power to him - he's created some of the fiercest brand loyalty in the history of entertainment.
