tinyE: I thought the Pod Race, in the theater with the full surround sound, was worth the price of admission for Episode 1.
(SPOILERS for Ep1)
Too bad for the cringeworthy plot:
- Qui Gon:
let's bet everything on an unknown kid! Wait.. couldn't the jedi just partecipate in the race, instead?
- Anakin:
I can build and repair everything! Such skill will never be used again..
- The mother:
I mysteriously remained pregnant alone. Pff.. like the virgin Mary. She probably just had unprotected illegal alien sex :P
- Yoda:
A strong Sith has been spotted again after centuries? Let's just send again the same Jedi who struggled fighting him.
- Anakin:
I can read cards without seeing them. Wait, how could he be a poor slave on a "gambling planet"?
- Ben:
I'll train the kid, even if he's dangerous. So, f**k the rules? At that point, Yoda would have been better.
- Anakin:
Oops, I destroyed the enemy base randomly! The rebels should feel embarassed lol.
(etc..)
So many bulls**it events and asspulls.
And I didn't even need to mention Jar Jar Binks much..
EDIT: and the Midichlorians ruin the "spirituality" of the Force, making it a result of just luck, based on random "alien" presence..
.
Tcharr: Apologies. I had not considered the possibility.
Thank you.
