Newest Star Wars Reviews Suprisingly Positive

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-me-i'll-be-in-tokyo dept.

Patchw0rk F0g writes "CBC is reporting on the suprising results of pre-screenings of Lucas' latest (and final) installment of his sci-fi epic. From TFA, "The advance reviews of Revenge of the Sith, the sixth - and final - Star Wars film, have been mostly positive - and in some cases outright effusive." Go figure... maybe Georgie got it right finally."

  1. Isn't that how you do character development? by khasim · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I mean, other than having a movie about a guy talking about himself ...

    The characters are dropped into situations and they react. Like when Han shot a bounty hunter sitting across from him.

    Lucas' problem isn't character development. His problem is back-story. Vader had more character development in ep 4 & 5 than any other bad guy has had in ep 1-3.

    Lucas just doesn't know how to write a story that will result in the character he has already developed. Which is why he falls back on fan-boy tricks of re-introducing the previously created characters and such (the droids, Boba's daddy, Tatoonie, etc).

    Vader has character.

    Annie is just put through some badly written situations and dialog so we can get to the Vader suit.
