There are so many little tidbits cut together, without any coherance mostly.I'm reminded of the slogan "Size DOES matter" for Godzilla. Big action, little value.I'm sure the CGI will be terrific, but if all lines are transported like "Excuse ME, I'm in head of secuirty, madam"...Don't get me wrong, the OT actors weren't shakespeare, as well, but at least the dialogue had spirit, or humour, or timing, or anything in it.Many quotes from the first three movies, none from EPI. Will this one be better?I can imagine when George Lucas came to Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor, telling them he had the great idea that Anakin would jump out of a glider to fall a hundred stories before hitting the glider he aimed for.Ewan McGregor's comment: "I hate it when he does that."I think the problem is that the first three movies were just fun movies, no explanations needed, just a pulp adventure. Nowadays, pulp isn't enough anymore. Ain't no dumb action movies around anymore, too (or at least no good ones).The problem with providing depth and explanations is that you have to do it right, and not some half-hearted attempt. If you need to mention midi-chlorians, give it the full treatment.No, I'm not excited. Merely bored.Berandor</blockquote>
