How is it possible that Lucas could have satisfied himself with the notion that the destruction of the galactic democracy and the triumph of evil over good could all have sprung from a single lousy pregnancy?

Well I agree with Podhoretz the reason Darth went to the dark side seems really lame, but the rest of the review seems more about grammatical critique more than a review.

I find his lack of faith disturbing.

LOL! I love this scathing review. I'll still see the movie, but this review is priceless. :o)

Dang it! This is a review for Star Wars III, not Star Wars VI. The mod should remove this or put a spoiler alert in the title or something.

I have to go see it just to see that pathetic excuse for an actor that plays Anakin get thrown into the lava.

Star Wars types don't care about reviews, boycotts, or anything else. Hell, they wouldn't care if George Lucas ran down their own mother while she was crossing the road, they're going to see this movie come hell or high water.

Lucas is a very savy business man at the very least. Rapid fans falling all over themselves to hand him their money. More power to him - he's created some of the fiercest brand loyalty in the history of entertainment.

I'll go see it because it's the only Star Wars we're gonna get. Even a poor Star Wars is better than none at all.

He's been tricked. He's not a villain. He's a schmuck.

Lucas just can't get over Bush and it has effected his creativity.

Later in the film, Vader's mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Padmé that her hubby has murdered some children: "He killed younglings at the Jedi temple!" She storms off and confronts him: "Obi-Wan says you killed younglings!"

This is all just a big misunderstanding. All he was saying was that he went DRINKING at the Jedi temple. He merely killed some YEUNGLINGS...

Dooku," and it's a pity that Lucas didn't arrange for Dooku to visit Naboo, because that could have generated a truly memorable piece of dialogue, like "You should never have come to Naboo, Dooku!"

This whole writeup is funny as heck. Thanks for posting it, I needed the laugh!

I suspect I'll like it more than Podhoretz did. But I'll admit this pan made an entertaining read. :-)

It's a bit odd that he just discovered that Yoda talks funny, though.

Star Wars, the cartoon. They are no longer movies as much as 2 hour day care centers for small children.
