Star Wars... Back In Theaters

OK... I'm all up for bringing a classic series back on the big screen, after all, it was this that brought me into the wonderful world of Star Wars, but why would they bring it so early??? By early I mean, Episode 1 came out in 1999, that's 13 years ago. This is all a ploy to get them in 3D and bring in more money. One thing is being nostalgic and another thing is paying $15 to $20 to go see a movie you could very much watch in your home.

They started out with Episode 1, which I'm guessing would be better for the people that haven't seen the whole thing since they can start from the beginning, but it's still stupid. I can only imagine the people in line waiting to go see the same exact movie while being dressed as Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader and Leia... Here's the problem... THEY DO NOT EXIST YET!!!!!!!!!! How are you going to see this movie dressed as someone that's not in the movie??? That's like going to see Iron Man dressed as Captain America. And isn't this the movie that everybody picked on of the whole series??? Sure, they nit-picked Episode 3 to death, but at least you can see the pain Anakin is going through. HE WANTS TO SAVE THE WOMAN HE LOVES!!!!!!! How would you get f you knew the person you loved was dying???

Another thing about this movie is that retard called Jar-Jar Binks. This is where I agree with a lot of people. Jar-Jar is the most annoying characters in movies I've seen. Did George Lucas smoke weed while creating him??? As I write this, I'm watching the movie and every time Jar-Jar is on screen, it makes me wanna barf. His voice, the way he speaks and just how he looks is enough to make someone go out the theater screaming. I just saw him and he is so uninteresting that I don't remember anything.

Is it me or is the interaction between Padme Amidala and Anakin seem creepy? I know she is supposed to be 14 in the movie but she looks older and he looks too young. Yes they do have some sort of connection and you could say that its more of a brother and sister thing, but when you thing about them getting together and having sex and having babies, then it is creepy. I always found it strange the relationship they have in Episode 1.

A couple of things now that I can't wrap my head around. First, why is Yoda in the Blu-ray version and the 3D version (which is the Blu-ray version) CGI when in the original he was a puppet? Did we really need the change from puppet to CGI? Yes, there is a lot of CGI in this movie, but why not make him CGI in the first place when you clearly have the tools to do so?

Secondly, if the Chancellor is this powerful Sith lord, HOW CAN THEY NOT FEEL HIM??? Clearly Obi Wan could feel Luke and Anakin, why not the Chancellor? And don't tell me that he is only an apprentice because Qui-Gon Jinn didn't feel the "Force" in him but he felt it from Anakin. Hell, not even Yoda could feel the disturbance in the "Force". If the Sith came back, I'm pretty sure they should at least feel the unbalance of it. Is it because he is playing nicey-nice with people that masks the whole "I'm an evil Sith lord" thing? Even worse, the Jedi Council AND Obi Wan knew that Anakin would be evil, so you can't say that they couldn't feel him.

Thirdly, a lack of Darth Maul. For me Darth Maul was the part of this movie. Ray Park is the Bobba Fett of this movie. Whethere he is doing Snake Eyes on G.I. Joe or Toad in X-men, every time I see him, I know that there will be an awesome fight scene and it this one, even though it was good, I found it to be short and lacking of what he can do and considering the build-up Darth Maul got, it didn't live up to what we expected.

This is a movie I can nit-pick every time I see, unfortunately it is my guilty pleasure. It's not my worst Star Wars movie (I'll leave that to whiny little "grown up" Anakin) but it's one of those love-to-hate movies. Nothing will ever compare to the original trilogy, but that's what we got served and that's the best we will get.
