I saw Star Wars today. I think it should have been called "Attack of the Drones" instead of "Attack of the Clones". It was stupidly boring, the story sucked, the acting sucked worse than the last one (which I didn't think was even possible) and Jar Jar Binks was back! AAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! And he's apparently a cross-dresser now. Hehe. Anyway, the only thing I did like about this movie was the way they created the cities and stuff, the backdrops were nice, although I think they need to initiate a transport-pooling system because there seemed to be traffic problems in the city. And I liked the costumes. Well, most of 'em.
Speaking of costumes, what's up with the new Queenie's black & white stuff? Isn't black & white supposed to be the colors of the bad guys? Uhm ... huh ... wacky. You don't think the Queen's in on all this dark side stuff do ya? Nah ... that would be too obvious, kinda like how her clone was hanging out in the bar ... uhm ... right?
I also had a real hard time believing that Amidala is now a Senator, she just doesn't seem smart enough and corruptable enough, but maybe it was just the acting, maybe she really is evil or something, I mean she married Anakin, right? And he was wearing black already so we all know what THAT means. I totally didn't believe his "transition" though. But maybe they cut a buncha stuff outta the movie or something, I dunno.
Anyway, I'm very disappointed in George Lucas, he's totally sold out in my opinion. You'd think with them spending all this money on a big movie they know is gonna make a lotta money they'd splurge for good writers, actors and stuff. Even some of the special effects were cheesy, which is really sad given all the other Star Wars movies at least had that as their redeeming factor. Oh well, I guess I can look forward to the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies, I know they have at least a few good people working on it (those former Origin employees who used to work on Ultima Online.) And if it turns out half as good as Ultima Online did it'll be fun. Unless they ruin it like they did UO, but UO wasn't totally ruined until after the l33+ d3vz left. And 'till they fired all the counselors. <mutter>
