I heartily agree with your comments. I've seen bits and pieces of the last Star Wars movie (whatever it was called) and really could care less about seeing it all the way through. It's just totally limp and uninteresting. On the other hand, when they happened to be playing Empire Strikes Back on the TVs at Walmart the other day, I was stuck there for like twenty minutes watching. I had to peel myself away from it. No fancy CGI, but a much, much better film. Thirty seconds of interaction between Hans Solo and Princess Leah is worth more than the last two movies combined. Hopefully Lucas will get back on track with this latest one.

And it seems you even missed those 30 seconds because if you were really paying attention you would know it is Han Solo and Princess Leia.
