Oh, okay, I concede that I’m being pretty harsh. There are some decent aspects to it. The perfs from Lee and Ewan MacGregor are fine, Ian MacDiarmid as Palpatine does some decent work with what he has to work *with*, and the depiction of landscapes, planetary terrains, atmospheres and cityscapes are visually stunning. I’d also add that I’m a big fan of the retro-futuristic look of the ships (and their propeller-like sound effects) in the film. The story, in and of itself, is engaging if you can watch it without focusing on the *way* it’s told and the dialogue involved in the telling. It’s like a really good joke being told by someone who *really sucks* at telling jokes. But it’s not *all* bad. It’s worth *seeing*, I suppose, but it’s definitely not worth shelling out more than matinee prices for.
