well and i finally saw it . i do not go when it first come out because and well and frankly and i be afraid . afraid of how bad it might be and or how disappointing . while not as bad a menace and and good than clone and it wasn not particularly memorable and or satisfy . i be 11 year old when i saw star war . i still remember sit in the theater . from the opening crawl to the final credit it be a movie experience i will never forget . a timeless story of the bored farm boy who just know he be mean for more and save the princess and the galaxy from the evil menace while be mentor by the wise wizard and the rogue pirate and the various comic relief all in a space opera setting . and that not to chastise lucas for use an old formula . it an old formula precisely because it work . and to his credit and he give it new twist that make it very special . then come empire and the story become more than just a fairy tale . darkness enter the picture and we learn one of the great movie twist of all time . the great villain and vader be luke father . wow and no one saw that come . of course and i be convince neither do lucas till it show up in the screenplay . go back and watch star war again . know what you know now and particularly in light of the first three episode and see if it really mesh . which bring me to the problem i have . revenge be an entertaining movie tremendous effect and plenty of action and some good fighting scene . but a movie still live or die on it plot the story it be tell . oh and certainly and really good acting can save a weak plot and but a weak plot couple with bad act that a burden no director can overcome and certainly not one as bad a i be force to realize george lucas be ( the man have manage to direct some of the bad performance in their career from some very fine actor liam neeson and natalie portman and samuel jackson ) . spoiler ahead the plot . oh my . understand and he already handicap by what happen in the first two film so it an incredible burden . one too much for him to overcome . first we have the sheer absurdity of the background . we have anakin be find a a child on tatooine and the product of a virginal and miracle birth the chosen one . well and this detail never get remotely explain . indeed and the close explanation be yoda observation that maybe they be wrong . oh and well and okay then . our mistake . now and this same wunderkind turn out to be the creator of c3po . hey and what a coincidence that be . and he will come back to tatooine and never know he be from there . wow . how about that . test the old willing suspension of disbelief there and eh george . anyway and we have this bratty kid and moody and petulant and whine young adult and who must somehow become one of the great villain in cinematic history the great tragedy of darth vador the good guy who fall from grace and only to finally achieve redemption in the end . how and pray tell and do this happen . why and he have a dream that his wife will die in childbirth . now and sure and he live in a star span civilization that treat gravity like we treat gasoline and but do it occur to the dark one to be to maybe check with a physician cause maybe and just maybe and this futuristic society might can do something about this problem . why and no and the only thing he can think to do be go kill some child because the bad guy at the root of all the evil they have be chase for two film tell him that he get the secret to immortality . well and of course he do . sheesh . how can lucas expect u to watch such foolishness and be move by it . how can anyone expect u to care . hell and why would anyone want this brat to be save or redeem in the first place . i want kenobi to kill him not because he be evil and but because he be pathetically stupid . oh and by the way and amidala finally dy . in childbirth . why . well and they do not know . the doctor and who be a droid and himself indicative of the incredibly high technology to which this society have advance and offer only the conclusion of she lose the will to live . well and oh and okay and of course she have . maybe it finally dawn on her what a dweeb she be sleep with . but here we be . we have kenobi present for all this . he know of the birth of luke and leia . know who their father be and know what happen to them . know and also and the role of both r2 and c3po . and yet and in several year and a luke approach manhood and show up with 3po and r2 ( curiously and 3po mind be wipe and but not r2 why . ) state i think these droids belong to you and kenobi and who know that the protocol droid be construct by the one he believe to be the chosen one and apprentice to the emperor himself and and who just happen to be build on this very planet and say strange and i do not recall own any droids . oh good grief . lucas simply make this up a he go along . once he introduce vader a luke father and sadly and the story begin spin out of control because he didnt know what the story be . the plot of episode 1 3 be simply incomprehensible . nothing palpatine do make any rational sense at all . and none of this tie into the story he originally tell in star war . it an afterthought and and it look it . i can not give this movie a high rating . it remind me of triple x. a fun film to watch and but entirely forgettable . star war will stand in my mind forever . thankfully and this one and and the two precede it and will soon fade .
