[The Iguana]

It's sitting at 83% on RottenTomatoes right now, which is a good deal higher than PHANTOM MENACE and CLONES managed. The early buzz is good so far, but...wow. This was unexpected.

I'm sure it's better than those films. Maybe better than RETURN OF THE JEDI. Better than STAR WARS? Well, I guess we'll find out in a few days.

As the Bush angle, the critics need to calm themselves. Lucas wrote up the script outline for these three prequel movies back in the 1970's. If they were inspired by anything in American politics, Lucas noted, it was Watergate and Vietnam.

I find it amazing that its getting negative reviews at Rotten Tomatoes before its even out.
