Vic,

I'll admit to being a Star Wars nut, but my affection for the series took a major nose dive after Phantom Menace which was a horrible film for reasons too numerous to list.

The crowd last night was made up of the 30+ generation and man do we look old. Not as old as Yoda but getting there. I am so happy that my wife is still in her twenties.

I didn't hate Episode II, but to say that it had major faults would be an understatement.

1. Why does Lucas pretend to know how to create anything resembling a coherent story? He's not a good director (regardless of the billions of shekels) and he clearly hates working with real actors. The script was pathetic and I mean "Ernest goes to Camp" pathetic.

2. The final battle where Yoda opens up a can of Corellian whoop-ass is fun but the digital Yoda just doesn't cut it. After all of these years, I still like the cumbersome looking costumes from the original trilogy.

3. Hadyn (anakin) can't act and he's so bad in a love scene, that I would rather see Ron Jeremy in the role than him.

4. Other than Obi-Wan, R2-D2, and C-3PO...I can't relate to any of the characters and found them boring as hell.

Anything good?

I like the Jango/Boba Fett angle. Other than the mighty Chewbacca, Boba Fett was the single most interesting character from the original trilogy and it was cool to get some insight into his origins.

Natalie Portman is a major hottie and looking better by the hour.

Lucas' horrible descent over to the dark side is nearly complete. Only one more bad film to suffer through.

Wait a week or two before running out to see this film.
