Awesome-To all you purests out there

Its time people realize somthing important. When George Lucas sat down to write star wars in the early 1970's he wrote episodes 1-6. Not 4-6, 1-3 but ALL six!!! He couldn't make a movie that long. So he came up with the story from ep 4 because he felt it was the best part for the time. It was the greatest film of all time. He did not expect it to do that well. He was exhausted from working on it, and vowed never to direct again, which is why he did not direct ep 5 and ep 6. However, years went by, and so did the technology (which his company developed!! ILM) which became CG. Now that it existed, he could tell the story he wanted to tell- ep 1-3. BY KNOCKING THIS MOVIE YOU ARE KNOCKING LUCAS HIMSELF!! Its his baby. NOW PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, get over Jar-Jar!! I was frankly blown away by the lightsaber scenes in this movie. And the other characters-awesome. For those that think Jar-Jar was stupid what about C3PO and R2-D2 they were comic relief as well. November 12, 2008

I think I sithed my pants

Loved Darth Maul. Awesome character. Wished he would have been used more. Awesome intro and fight scene although it did seem un-Jedi-like to double team a single foe. Jedi's at times seem to be master fighters and other times buffons. Their fighting skills go up or down depending on who they are fighting. November 7, 2008

Not terrible, but meh...

The cast is very bad, but the visuals are amazing and the story's good. Own it cause it's Star Wars. October 17, 2008

The rock bottom of the Star Wars saga.

Nowadays, it is hard to find someone who has not seen the Star Wars movies. If you are one of the lucky few who escaped the Phantom Menace's hype attack during its theatrical release, there is no reason to waste your money and time now to ruin your fond memory of Episode 4 & 5, unless, that is, you are under 8 years old, which is the target audience of this movie. Enough said. October 1, 2008

I respect George Lucas, but...

This entire movie, except the end, was mediocre. I wish he didn't go back and do 1, 2, and 3 but he did and we have to live with it. September 25, 2008
