Your obvious mistake.
There
were many of you who believed that Lucas had lost the magic
after seeing Episode
I. Since you grew up on the first 3
releases, Episodes 4, 5 and
6, you just laughed at the dumb
antics of C3PO, and the ridiculous Ewoks and accepted
them. But enter stage right Jar Jar Binks a few years
later and you're ready to to put Lucas into a home. Well you were wrong then, and Episode II proves
it.
I
can understand that you may not have liked Episode I as much
as you thought you would. Maybe it's the years of anticipation
or all the hype, but whatever the reason, you're entitled to
your opinion. However, if you turned your disappointment
in the movie into an attack on Lucas' abilities, you're off
base; remember, it's only your opinion.
I saw Star
Wars, A New Hope in 1977 when it was first released, I saw
each of the other episodes within a week of their hitting the
theaters, and as I do with every piece of fiction, I sat back
and let the storyteller weave his tale. Sure there were
things I didn't like, characters I didn't want to see, but
this isn't someone telling me what they think of my religion
or my family, it's a story, which considered as in total, is a
great story. This intricate tale doesn't only have
different characters, it has different life forms that live in
vastly different worlds, it's ridiculous to expect to find
every aspect of it fantastic. You didn't like Jar Jar Binks?
Well, obviously the Naboo didn't think very highly of any
member of the other species they shared their planet.
The Boss
Nass told us that the problem with the Naboo was that they
thought themselves better than the Gungans. The
fact is that Jar Jar is an important character precisely
because of his immaturity, stupidity and clumsiness, as is the
reaction of the Naboos to Jar Jar's efforts on their behalf.
I'd like to hear what you think about The
Phantom Menace after you see Episode
II, Attack of the Clones. And that goes double for
you, Christian
De Matteo! (Christian's review of The
Phantom Menace.)
