Well, as always the book was better than the movie. If you have not read the book I suggest that you try it. It is supposed to be a novel adaptation of the movie but it is sooooooo much better than that! I guess that Lucas got high one night and started messing with the AVID system and fucked up the movie.
That brings me to my next point, Anakin. That little cunt. They picked a horrible actor for that character. Why would they put that little punk in the flick? You know who would have been better and would have made the ENTIRE film better? That kid from 'Sixth Sense'. I am impressed by that little kid every time I see one of his movies. He is miles ahead of all these other child stars. (Well they could have used Brian Lynch too... I guess).
Next point. Jar Jar binks.... OMFG! Who dropped the ball on this play? WHen they came up with a comedic character at some board meeting they should have fired all the writers on the spot. That is the stupidest idea ever. I wanted to lay the smack down on Jar Jar the first time I saw him It was like GL was trying to prove something. Look what I can do.... Ohhh.... ahhhhh... I downloaded Light Wave 3D too, bitch. Jar Jar is a piece of shit. I hope that a big monster eats him.
Now you know what really worries me about EPII AOTC??? The fact that they are going to make Yoda fight with a lightsaber. The idea is good but the execution is going to be the hard part. I hope they don't reduce the fight scene to a but of under paid PA's tossing around a muppet off camera and Frank Oz screaming in the background like a prison rape victim! That would be horrible. Another thing... If Jar Jar is CG why the FUCK is Yoda a muppet? Also if Yoda can master the Force in he 800 years why can't he master English?
Death to Ewoks & Gungans! If I see a fucking Ewok in EpII I am walking out of the theater.
