Okay, this movie was just wtf. Obi Wan, the evil guy from the first movie is a teenager and he goes onto what looks like the Death Star from the first movie with a doughnut ring around it and he starts busting up these robot guys. (And yet he claimed to go there to negotiate.) Then we go to this swamp and we meet up with this annoying pink frog thing - ugh! What is that thing?!?! Then he goes to a desert - the same planet from the first and third movie, and we meet Luke's dad as a child. Wow. What a coincidence! Luke was an orphan on a desert planet and so was his father! Even dumber, the same planet! What a rip off of the first movie. But as far as I know, it is probably not a rip off of a Nazi propaganda film, but it pokes jabs at Republicans. The main antagonist, Nute Gunray, name wise is similar to Newt Gingrich.

When I watch a movie, I hate when someone's disturbing me. When I saw this, I gladly paused the movie and gave our dogs a bath. Of course, I had to continue watching "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace." It was..... sleepy. Man, with tons of dialogue you'd think that a writer on the level of George Lucas could at least make an interesting line. But, sadly, he did not. This movie (not the actors) deserved the hate it got.

This is a movie that can make you enjoy the two hours if you wish to relax but has limited in the scope and creativity. Few elements seemed to be logically inconsistent. The winning of Anakin in the Podrace after earlier failing to even complete the race; the killing of the sith at the hands of the Jedi as a sudden when once both were overpowered. Also Anakin destroying the entire mission in one go- these all seem to be superflous. There is a little attempt at creativity like the different characters and the storyline are somewhat interesting that take you into looking for the next parts. The training of Anakin would be worth watching.
