This was an article printed in my local paper...
"By now we have read that the new "Star Wars" movie is better than the last one, but it could consist entirely of Yoda Q-tipping his ears for two hours (wax have I, yesssss) and it would be better than that last one. Still, I am not hopeful, and I have good reasons:
George Lucas writes dialogue duller than a preschooler's scissors. George Lucas cannot direct actors; fine talent comes across so wooden that you expect the characters to die from Dutch Elm disease rather than lightsaber wounds. George Lucas cannot pace a movie; he simply shuffles back and forth between stories, leaning on John Williams' score to supply the drama. To repeat: can't write, can't direct, can't pace. These would seem to be liabilities in a movie director.
And if all you diehard geeks want to disagree, stop and realize that you know I am right. The first movie was great. The second was wonderful. The third had teddy bears in it. If you want to believe in a big, mythic tale that not only ends with singing teddy bears but has all the dead characters show up as ghosts to smile at the teddy bears and wave bye-bye, then you are still 13 years old. Grow up!
And yes, I'll be there on opening day. And yes, I'll be there for Episode Three, as well, even if Episode Two ends with Jar Jar Binks blowing up the Death Star for the 19th time. I'm pathetic.
I'll open up the floor now to you. Weigh in. Defend the teddy bears, or rip into what you have heard of the new movie with the gusto of a fan who can take no more betrayal."

I thought the end of Jedi was really heart-warming. The glow around the dead Jedis was really emotive. And as for those teddy bears; how cutesy wutesy. I wanted to eat them all up.

Roast Ewok is the dish for those with a more discerning taste such as myself. The Ewok Rights lobby can just sod off.

I was at the premiere last night. Kelly Brook asked me to accompany her. It was apleasant evening but I didn't think much of the film. That lad's hair looks utterly ridiculous.

Why does everyone have all these wild expectations for Episode II/ star wars in general, they expect it to be the best movie they've every seen in there life, and its supposed to be "unpredictable" and all this crap, like they have higher standards for star wars as apposed to other movies. Its a contiuation of a story its not going to be some thing completely different. He has to follow the story and be creative along the way.
I liked Episode I phantom menace. everyone probably hated it because the star role was a 9 year old, it was kind of family oriented but star wars is not an R rated series theres not a lot of unnecessary sex, violence etc, that doesnt pertain to the story. It actually has a story thats why it doesnt need that crap.
It 's kinda like when Drukqs came out and idiots like rolling stone gave it 1 star i mean come on give me a break. Other critics also gave it bad reviews. His piano work is totally new and Fresh, innovative ahead of his time. I think he has continually gotten better over time but how much better can you get after I care because you do and RDJ.

I did not have any "wild expectations" at all. When you read all these spy reports and watch all the clipps you are pretty sure of what you are gonna love and what you will critisise.
The movie was actualy better then i had expected. i had not excpected the war scenes to be so fat!!!!! and the obiwan Jango space chase.....jesus!!!!
The only complaints i have is that some things looked very CG and some of the acting is horrible , but hey...its starwars =) i think no one excpects any oscar performance.
Starwars fans will not be dissapointed=)
