I watched Star Wars: Episode III last night.
It was the second time I’ve seen it.
It’s pretty bad.
The number one thing that was wrong with the new Star Wars movies? Total lack of character development. Han, Luke and Leia had soul.
The new movies move the plot along so fast no one has time to do anything but cry or fight.
Natalie Portman? She was a very interesting character in the first flick. She was reduced to Barbarella territory in the second. By three, she did nothing but cry and die.
Too much plot.
Not enough soul.
Also, Darth Vader’s first appearance, and you choose to shoot it like a monster movie, complete with James Earl yelling “Nooooooooooooo!” George, I love what you do, but buddy… come on.

Sorry, I promise to stop writing about so much Star Wars.
