I watched the final (or third of six, depending on how you’re counting) Star Wars movie last night. I hope it was the final one, anyway, because I couldn’t not watch any follow-up, and if it’s as woeful as that was…
I now want to say “on the upside”, but I can’t think of one. Oh wait, I thought General Grievous was good, and made Jar Jar Binks look like Jar Jar Binks. But aside from that it was abysmally scripted, badly played (though quite what more could be expected from the actors I don’t know), and even the effects didn’t work; they were technically impressive, but they didn’t convince me that anything was real (except for the aforementioned General, who seemed to have some real weight.
Fortunately I have a remedy lined up, in the form of the original trilogy that my kids need introducing to. Now I just need to decide on regular or special edition.
