My .02<br>
I liked the movie for what it was. (I never saw any trailers for it) I didn't expect to see half of the interesting things that popped up, such as tarkin, a young Leia, and a re-purposed imperial droid that had the best lines of the movie.<br>
Having read "Rise of the Empire" it filled in some really nice things and I think that it addressed why there was a flaw built in, which many of us questioned since day 1.<br><br>
So it wasn't the "blow away movie" that a lot of people hoped for. Then again the majority of us saw the originals as kids and we associate it with our childhood. Now we've grown up and have become jaded adults, maybe even cynical as nothing compares to the wonder of seeing this through a child's eyes. An acquaintance of mine is arguing with me that the movies are not exactly like the books and so this isn'the true canon. Another tells me why the engineering of all this is impossible, a division how light speed can never be attained blah,blah,blah. I don't care it's a movie.<br><br>
All I all I enjoyed the movie and think it was a nice filler film. <br><br>
Oh p.so. James Earl jones.....so much win in that along
