cliched? The original movie that started it all is admittingly loosely based on Kirosawa's 'The Hidden Fortress'.
bad acting? see: Episode IV reviews from 1977, both Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamil were reemed for their performances by movie critics.
Yoda spoofs The Matrix? hmmm, I missed the circle-pan, semi-freezeframe filming style during the Yoda/Dooku duel. I also missed Yoda catching Dooku's foot and spinning him to the floor, Matrix-style. Yoda's scene was ripe with martial arts inspired lightsaber combat, but nowhere did I see Matrix stylings--which, albeit creative cinematography, was just Hong Kong envy to begin with.
you need to watch more movies, troll.
