Possibly my favorite is"I don't believe it.""That... is why you fail."and"Don't worry about it, that's my friend Han down their, he'll have that shield down on time... or this will be the shortest offensive of all time."Anyway, aside from the miserable dialog and child-acting, what I found offensive about Episode 1 was how it was ONLY had themes that are aimed for kids (no offense SOMFS <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />). I know Star Wars 4-6 had R2-D2, C-3P0 and the Ewoks, but it also had the adult themes of Luke's struggle to learn the force without becoming tempted and the redemption of Darth Vader, plus the good old all-ages epic stuggle between good and evil. And C-3P0 provided many of the better lines in the movies! TPM has Jar-Jar (cheap comedy based on total silliness and clumsiness) and a kid who seems to solve everything by accident. Yay!Also, I can't figure out what people have against the ewoks. Sure they looked cute, and their language was kind of odd, but they acted like real people, with an interesting society and the smarts to take on a stormtrooper battalion (some people say it's garbage to have the primitive ewoks beat the stormtroopers, but their only frontal assualt, the initial arrow storm, only kills about a half-dozen. Instead they succeed a sowing complete confusion, as the stormtroopers are divided and led into various traps, along with the help of the rebels that the stormtroopers captured).So yes, the trailer looks miserable, and the movie will probably be the same. I'll probably still see it in theaters, but I'll definitely boycott it at least a week. I guess we might be pleasantly surprised, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I you keep your hopes down the chances of a pleasant surprise are increased. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
