Space bat­tle: pretty awe­some. Lightsabre fights: not bad.
Char­ac­ter­i­sa­tion: bleh. Dia­logue: dire.
Thinly dis­guised polit­i­cal mes­sage: far too obvi­ous.
Extremely short scenes: Try to give a sense of increas­ing pace, but fail.
Mid­wife robot: Holy had­dock that’s scary.
Jar-Jar didn’t die. But on the plus side, at least he didn’t speak.
Sin­gle amus­ing scene:
