Yes, I think SW fans will have the ball back from the kiddie pool. I mean, Episode 1 was one big kid movie. Don't get me wrong, its a great movie, but its main purpose was to attarct the younger audience.
Thats why Jar Jar will be in it for a small role this time around, to keep the kids, but at the same time, give them a movie to grow up with.
I'm so-liking the hype this time around, subtle, yet, everywhere. Everywhere I go. Not everywhere I look. Like, it's all over SW fan based sites. (
TheForce.net), but its not all over the market. It's not on my soda, it's not on my toothpaste, you see my point.
Lucas was a little rusty for episode 1. Been awhile since he directed anything. But I feel confident The Man has got back his directrial edge, and we shall see Star Wars for what it is worth.
Doing prequels at the same time gave a chance to get to know the masters from the orginal. Like Obi-Wan and Yoda. Yoda in his prime (maybe?) and kicking some major clone will be great. Can't wait to see him use Force powers more than anything. I also am awaiting the fact that more old-school SW elements are seeping thier way back to the movies.
What can I say, this movie will be absoultly great.
-sorry, been awhile, had a few things to say
