This movie horribly destroyed any dignity left in the Star Wars series. From the absolutely flat dramatics, to the uneven performances, to the badly edited action scenes, this movie reeks of laziness. I admit, there are a couple exciting sequences, some eye-popping visuals, and the light saber battles were well-choreographed, but on the whole the movie was dull and turgid. The pacing was horrible, too fast to absorb at first and then when they get to Tatooine, it virtually slows to a halt. Absolutely zero character development too, and Anakin was far too young to be believable. Good for kids and the idiotic masses plebes who enjoy cheap thrills. The video game "Jedi Knight" had cutscenes that seemed closer to authentic Star Wars adventure than this abysmal waste of time. Try to resist the temptation, don't watch this film! Show modern day filmmakers that they can't continue shelling out this garbage to the people of this country.
