BB - it didn't suck! At least not like I thought it would... Generally a A- I give it.

A minus?!!

You're giving it a pass because it's "Star Wars." If it was a new movie you didn't know, you'd never give it an A minus!

I have a theory that there's a certain cache that fans have built up about Darth Vader. Those emotions are the result of the work of the first films.

Something tells me you could prop the Darth Vader suit up on a broom, and walk it through the scene, and some fans would applaud wildly.

As seen here, the only memorable line uttered by James Earl Jones in this film is completely and utterly laughable, and yet, witness the bowing down of fans worldwide to the "power of the dark side."

Glad you liked it, Tangeroa. Glad someone likes this stuff.

To me, George Lucas is the new Paul Pressler. Some people can't see that the magic has faded. There may be two ways to see this film. But from my point of view, it's a horrible, disgusting, far-too-violent and gorey film with no redeeming moral quality. Very un-Star Wars for my taste.

Moviegoers with children should be warned.
