VWWOM! VWOOM! Check me out! I'm Yoda!*ahem*
Erm, yes. I just got back 10 minutes ago from watching
Episode II. I'm not the biggest
Star Wars fan, but I know enough to know that when youre talking about movies, it certainly is something special. Most
70's babies like myself can fondly remember seeing the Star Wars films as part of their childhoods, the same way they remember
Knight Rider, the
A-Team and
The Transformers. The
Star Wars saga is one of last centuries greatest institiutions. I've never played the RPG, or the card game. I used to have a couple of the action figures as a kid. I think I used to have a Star Wars
drink flask too (or it might have been
E.T. - I dont remember). I was curious to see how it would make its transition into the 21st century.
I think most would agree with me that Episode I was a bit of a let-down; a kids movie which served mostly to raise enough money through merchandising to fund the creation of the next film. Well my official opinion of the second (Second? Fifth? Whatever...) installment is
"WOO HOO!". I'm so glad that George Lucas got some help on writing the screenplay for this film. It's no masterpiece, but it potentially could have been much worse. It has almost everything of what the fans have been wanting to see... and yes, the
Yoda lightsabre battle IS as cool as its rumoured to be, the only problem is that it doesnt go for quite long enough. All that's left is for George and Co. to
nicely wrap things up in the final film. Let's hope they can do justice to this film and its sequals with
Episode III.
