There's nothing interesting about it other than shiny images and loud noises.Oh, and the best darn fight scene ever put in a film directed by a white guy (Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon versus Darth Maul).Oh, and the first movie utterly transformed my entire life. I was nine. Being nine in 1977 was a pretty good thing to be.Oh, and I will forever get shivers when I hear the Imperial March. Damn you, John Williams.Oh, and the first movie rocked. And the second one has great dialogue ("I am NOT a committee!"). And the asteroid chase. And the third one has speeder bikes, and if you don't think speeder bikes are teh 1337, I don't understand you.But I'm done with Star Wars. I'll wait and see what the reviews are like for Episode -1 (or should that be Episode 0?) -- if people who's tastes match mine like it, then I'll go. But honestly, after seeing "FrankenVader" in the trailer, I just can't get excited about this. It's a shallow world of shallow stories. There's fun here and there, and the first movie, taken in isolation, is a fine example of pulp fun, but the whole thing just isn't strong enough to support the weight that's placed upon it. There's no tragedy, there's no drama, there's no power to it.There was when I was nine. There was when I nineteen. But there's not anymore.</blockquote>
