Mimsey reviews Star Wars!!

No spoilers here folks - they hewed to the basic play book so completely I would swear they star rated it and did it in clay. Same dialog: We gota blow up the capacitor!!! Same character development. Or lack of it. Lots of sand, snow, and when they were landing besides this lush lake in a primeval forest - I expected them to be greeted by a Drewish princess. Alas, the Schwartz wasn't there. Same alien life forms - same alien maggots with eye candy hanging off their tentacles, and a three tined red light saber oooooooo. Same comic relief droids.

Sex? Not on your life. The amount of seconds of affection could be counted on one hand. And maybe that is the problem - everybody and I mean everybody, comes from a dysfunctional or torn apart family. What they all need is a big group hug - not a supersized,mega, uber, ultra death star on steroids. Unexplained miraculous reappearance of characters you thought were dead. Check. Plenty of explosions? Check.

So - was it a bad movie? Nope - I would have drooled over it if I was in the age group it was intended for. But, now that I am older - I want more than watching a cute chick with a blue light saber hacking away at an even bigger scenery chewer with his red saber.

I swear - Han's son is a doppelgänger for Vinny Bararino! Ayyy! Pops! How ya doooen?

This movie absolutely cries out for a parody. Hell - it even has an "Alas poor Yorik" scene in it. But there is one aspect of this movie that is second rate: If you want to see top of the line 3D holographic star maps - go see Prometheus.

And of course - there was the cliff hanger at the end - a virtual tease for "The Force yawns, and gets out of bed" their next movie.

Best,

Mimsey:hattip:
