All I could see was that some ugly droid was coughing what should have been non existent lungs out like it was a chain smoker with advanced TB. And that wasn't even the worst part of the movie. Several other parts were plain boring dialog! Dialog is fine, but it should accompanied by action like it usually was in the first trilogy. Worst of all was the acting - especially the one playing Anakin Skywalker. *Zzzzzzzzzzzz!*
But Star Wars doesn't win the worst loser award by any means. You want the worst, let's talk STAR TREK: INSURRECTION and STAR TREK: NEMESIS! OMG!!!

staythirstymyfriends wrote:Star Trek TNG... only game in town. Perfect combination of sci-fi tech and drama. Original Trek, even before the Net, was obviously cheeseball- serious queso here. What they show and how they act in TNG far outdoes the original, the tech looks good, the characters aren't wooden, and it's not a big repetition of "Scotty, beam us down!" "Captain, I do not think that is logical. The atmosphere is 80% methane." "Well, what do you think, Bones?" "Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a chemist! Who cares about 80% methane, anyway, it's that or 78% nitrogen!"On and on.
TNG uses some real science, is tailored toward believability and intellect rather than acting as another "Lost In Space", and has superior acting (besides Kirk, Spock, and Bones, who are funny). Star Wars started great, went to good, back to great, and you can have episodes 1-2-3... no Harrison Ford, no way...

I don't think it'll come to THAT, but if it does it least it'll be for a good cause.
BTW if it DOES happen can I watch?
