Far better than I ever remembered!
14 August 2021
To be fair, I don't remember much but still. Now, comparing this to the newer movies there is a clear difference. I don't hate the new movies, I think they are mediocre but what sets them apart from the prequels is that the prequels actually care about the Jedi. The sheer scale of the action is far greater and the lightsaber fights are genuinely amazing to watch...Disney simply don't have the same understanding of how to create a Star Wars movie properly. I also don't believe that episodes 1 and 2 are anything incredible but I can at least respect them. Now onto the actual movie, which is very very good! I'm happy to say that the acting actually improved for this film and man does it pay of...the final scenes, Oof that are terrific! The action is also very good, maybe not quite as good due to how dated the movie is but definitely still watchable. The cgi does have a few stumbles here and there but nothing that draws you out of the movie. The plot, I'm actually surprised to say was amazing, it works so well at piecing everything together that was built from the past two movies. While doing that it also links straight with episode 4. The characters are also far better in this movie, they have real development and good chemistry that really gives their relationships meaning. Really my only main problem is the pacing, it goes from being really fast to incredibly slow but even then if you just forget about it, it goes away. Trés gud.
