movie review - Star Wars Episode II

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2002.06.15

Saw this on the digital projector down in Richmond. It was visually improved, but some of the plot problems are still there. My favourite nit to pick: if C-3PO lived on the Lars family farm for 'many years', how come he didn't react as if he'd ever seen it when he and R2-D2 returned twenty years later in "Episode IV"?

[ spoiler ]

It turns out that they explain this at the end of the "third" movie, in a clumsy retrofit. Bah!

Recommended.
