    It's spelled 'hypocrisy' you nerd, and the 'religious right' (nice stereotype there) wouldn't be hypocrites in this case, unless they started cloning themselves and didn't allow others to. The anti-religion bias in the US is staggering sometimes.

    My review: NO IMAGINATION

    I puked with the bloody film.
    "No Star Wars" --> "Star Wars I" *had* some creativity and imagination. For the time it was a big step forward into SciFi.

    "Star Wars I" --> "This One" innovation = 0. The same stuff basically + fluffy effects + a romance.
    Are they selling to the nostalgy of old folks or do they expect to sell with the "all tickets sold in first week --and this is Lucas you know" trick? I dunno.

    It sucked badly
