Lucas has one thing going for him in this installment: low expectations.

My kids loved episode one. After being used to watching videos, my youngest asked (at the theater): "Can we rewind the tape and watch it agian?".

They can't wait to see this one. (I won't mind seeing it myself).

I stopped buying Star Wars toys after the China EP-3 incident a year ago.

However, I will definitely go to the movie.

Is this an advertisement?

Once a queen, now a Senator

Did anybody else shiver when they read this?

This stood in strong contrast to the spark and fire of Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia Organa

Well, let's face it, if your character is named (phonetically) Lay-a Organ-a, you'd dern well better have some spark and fire.

Plus a big 2X4 to beat Bill Clinton off with.

The basic story is that as Anakin Skywalker becomes skilled in the ways of the Jedi Knights, he also falls in love with Senator Padme Amidala.

I hear that Lucas is furiously rewriting the script so that in this unfolding love story, Anakin and Padme are aboard the just-recently-launched first version of the Death Star on its maiden voyage, when it has the misfortune of striking an iceberg and starts sinking to the bottom of the north Atlantic....

-It was impossible to get involved with the young boy because you knew he was gonna be D.V. I bet the same is true with this one.

-Enormous plot holes. I don't mean like "battle robots" that fall apart at the slightest touch; I mean like the combined intellect of the Ascended Masters of Jedi-dom telling Obi-Wan (Merlyn) not to train Anakin. "He bad news, bad juju, no train, no way, no sir!" they intone.

"Nyah, I'm a-gonna train him anyhow!" is Merlyn's response. Uh huh.

-A bunch of strangers show up. "Hi, were from outer space. Mind if we take your kid about 20 light-years thata way?"

"Sure. We'll make more [me and the metachlorians, or whatever they're called]." Anakin is evidently the result of immaculate conception and why isn't he a she, since parthenogenisis always results in females?

-If the meta-whatsiz control the force, why not culture them, centrifuge to concentrate, and inject 'em, just like athletes who "load up" with their own blood cells? Instant Force in a hypodermic.

Etc.

What a bore.

--Boris
And P.S. what's with the kid building C3PO? A big surprise there. One would expect the robot to be devoted to Darth Vader later in the story...

The problem with Episode I mostly was too much Jar Jar and not enough Menace. It was a cutsie directionless romp, not the setup for the great coming battle between Good and Evil.
