Thoughts on Star Wars Episode II

Watching Star Wars Episode II because I’ve gotten my hopes up too much for Episode VII and need to temper my expectations.


Clever foreshadowing:

Obi-Wan (to Anakin) “Why do I get the feeling you going to be the death of me?”

Wait did I say clever? I meant dumb.


The dog just stepped on the remote changing the input on my TV away from the PS4 playing Episode II. Apparently she doesn’t like it either.


Padmé: Please dont look at me like that

Anakin: Why not?

Padmé: It makes me feel uncomfortable

Anakin then grins like a creep
WTF George‽


Watching this movie you have to feel for Natalie Portman. You can practically feel her frustration with Hayden Christensen’s wooden acting.


What happened to Padmé to crush her self-worth so much that she would settle for a selfish and emotionally abusive misogynist like Anakin‽


Why can Yoda feel Anakin going on a Tuskin Raider killing spree all the way on Tatooine but not detect a Sith Lord sitting across from him?


Anakin comes back to Padmé, confesses Tuskin Raider genocide to her and she’s just like “to be angry is to be human”?

Seriously WTF George‽


If the prequels were never made and you told me they were making 3 Star Wars films with McGregor, Jackson, & Portman I’d be losing my mind.


Remember the rumor that N’Sync were going to be Jedi in Episode II? Honestly, they couldn’t have made the film worse http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2014/04/23/movie-legends-revealed-were-n-sync-members-nearly-jedi-knights/


If the clone troopers are all identical in every way how can some of them have higher ranks than others?

Also who determined their ranks?


The fact that all the Clone Troopers in the final scenes are all digital is just lazy. Men in suits would have looked so much better.


Verdict on Episode II? Mindless dribble with decent action but terrible performances from A-list actors. Should not have been made.


Episode II is not nearly as unwatchable as Episode I. Would let future children watch it.

I’ll die before I willingly watch Episode I again

Life is too short to ever watch Star Wars Episode I again.
