My Comments: What can I say about this film but except I found it rather to long and boring at times. I have been a big fan of Star Wars for 20 years now and was looking forward to seeing this movie, but was very disappointed. The best scenes by far where when the jedi's were dueling and Anakin destroyed the enemy ship. Ewan looked dashing as the young Obi-Wan Kenobi but I would have liked to have seen him with more to say in this film. I got tired of him saying "Yes Master" all the time.

I Rate This Movie: 7 out of 10
