Sorting through my ‘to finish’ posts I discovered this review that for some reason I never posted. So it’s a year late but, what the heck, here it is any way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Best of the prequels. I’m sad though, because it (as well as the other prequels) had so much potential and it wasn’t realised. Mr Lucas really should have given his outline to a scriptwriter with a list of ‘this has to happen’ and then hung out with the ILM guys while someone else wrote and directed this puppy. The script once again sucks. It’s so bad I’ll say that again, the script sucks. Much of the positive response to this movie, I suspect is the fans ‘filling in’ from their own imaginations.<\/p>\n

I did enjoy seeing Anakin become Darth Vader. Ian McDiamond just rocked as the Chancellor. Liked the Anakin\/Obi Wan dynamic, ObiWan’s disappointment was palpable. And yes the visual effects just rocked. <\/p>\n

After watching RotS I went back and watched Attack of the Clones and part 2 definitely improved with part 3 being around. There was a lot more resonance in part 2, without part 3 it just hung there incomplete. I also checked out the deleted scenes section on AotC and discovered that the producers and GL clearly have no clue about what you need to tell a great story. There were a number of scenes they had cut ‘because they didn’t move the story along’. BOLLOCKS. They were getting rid of anything that might help the audience believe in the Anakin\/Padme relationship and anything that established Padme as a strong independent character. Watching them talk about deleting these particular scenes made me want to slap them upside the head. I don’t get these guys, having a strong female character alongside the strong male character does not castrate the male character. Sheesh.<\/p>\n

Enough ranting, I suspect the fanfiction writers will fix it all up and give us the fully fleshed out and well written story of Anakin’s descent to the darkside.<\/p>\n
