Saw it yesterday (for free, hehe) and enjoyed it. Agree that those offended by it are nerdy super-fanboys who expect everything to be TESB/ROTS-ified. I even approved of the soundtrack.

Hope everyone had a good time - meself and the missus ran late all day Friday so apologies for not meeting up! A good old-fashioned fun film, probably better with characters completely removed from the main ones in the movies, but that cliff-face battle was superb!

I THINK I really quite enjoyed it.
Certainly, not the embarassathon suggested by the AICN reviewers...

in particular, the baby hutt and the gay jazz hutt did not, as characters, give me nearly as much squirm as Jar Jar, or Captain Panaka etc

Maybe biggest problem I had was the huge quantity of screen time given to clone troopers shooting droids and vice versa.... i know we all like a good fight scene, but c'mon, once you've seen one spider droid blowing up, that's it, next scene please.

------------

and, OH MY GOD so that WASN'T you Lizardmonkey?

Me and Miso just went round the pub accosting the more geeky looking patrons until we found a couple, both with goatee beards and Firefly t-shirts, presumed it was yous, bought them/you a few drinks and dragged them to the cinema. They didn't complain. Looked a bit confused when we kept calling them Mr and Mrs Monkey right enough......

I found Capote the Hutt quite amusing!

I bet those two you picked up in the pub were secretly terrified! tongue

I agree there was too much comedy in it.
