![]() ![]() I have seen the original Star Wars Trilogy somewhere approaching 1,000 times. Remember that show on Comedy Central several years ago called Viva Variety? No? It was the same premise only executed much more brilliantly. The Viceroy and his assistant seem to be doing poor French accents. If they are indeed a Trade Federation then why do they have an army? And why do they have a seat in the senate? And why do they have a "Viceroy"? This leads me to my next problem. Isn't this what started the War of 1812? Is Andrew Jackson going to be in this movie? The trade Federation is never fully explained either. Huh? Trade routes? What kinda plot is that? This sounds more like some boring course in American History than the plot for a Science Fiction movie. ![]() This yawner hits you early on while the classic introductory text is still scrolling up. It sounds too much like the title of one of those Sci-Fi or Fantasy novels you laugh about because you're too busy reading Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams. That title wasn't great either but still a great deal more satisfying than The Phantom Menace. Originally I remember hearing that it would be titled Disturbance in the Force. The first bout of disappointment I had to deal with was about six months before the movie came out when they made the announcement that it would be called The Phantom Menace. The Phantom Menace is not a good title at all. ![]()
