i really like this movie. i think it relaunches the Star Wars franchise by setting up everything (EVERYTHING) that follows -- redefining 25 years of work. i think it relaunches George Lucas as a storyteller too. what if every financially successful business on the planet took the care to create this kind of substantive next generation WOW? forget about every business. what if i take that kind of care?

It is an awsome movie. It does a beautiful job of tying the first and last three episodes together. Special effects are fantastic but the dialoge is sometimes a little simplistic.

Isn't it interesting that what pulled Anakin to the other side is, in a large part, what is wrong with business today? And I don't mean the love for a woman.

Also, the TP wire service is great! Thanks for recommending it. I now have several sites being watched and am saving a lot of time.

One of the worst steamers to come out of Hollywood in recent memory. My movie going buddy and I nearly fell asleep. Star Wars? Nay, Star Bores. Hayden Christiansen will go down as one of the worst pieces of miscasting in movie history.

I enjoyed the movie as it tied the series together. HOWEVER, it was clearly oriented to the younger crowd, not those of us who were in college with the original release. I agree with Al True's observations.

Have you noticed that the video game was released before the movie - just a teaser!
Now which one of the video box folks will really get tied in - MS Xbox?
What a financial success all the way around...

Here, here to the TP Wire Service!

It was great to be with my 12-year old, with expectations of stiff dialogue, predictable plot twists and awesome special effects! I was not let down, and enjoyed every moment! (Best Yoda stuff yet!)

The best of the six Star Wars movies. It is obvios that it was made for youngers. The young part of ourselves! Yes it is simplist, but who still needs theories from guru´s stuffs (Peter Drucker or Tom Peters comments) to do what you have to do?

I´m happy to see a movie like that been a blockbuster nowadays. It can help the teens - who will be the future leaders of this world - develop a whole new mind for the coming years.

Minds simplist & obvios that DOES what has to be DONE.

Not many companies out there can hold my interest for 25-30 years, yet George has managed to. I don't think the interest is going to stop here either!

The movie was great and look forward to projects George is involved in going forward.

I'll have to go see the movie now. From what I've read, this episode recontextualizes the original three episodes. This recontextualization would seem to be strategic as the story was written before the Star Wars got on screen.

How many companies can change the meaning of their products long into the frachise? We all need to learn how to do this. Plot twists as a business tool? This movie is lesson one. Not just a story, but a totally new mediation.

It was a good watch. I found it different from the normal all-ends-that-ends-well movies.

The points I liked about the movie are:

1. The manipulation of Anakin by Sith. It was beautifully done. The way sith played on the emotions & fears of him is amazing. Also he exploited the alienation of Anakin from the Jedi Masters beautifully.

2. Of course, the special Effects by Lucas. The sequel between Anakin & Obiwan on the Floating Lava was amazing & very well Shot.

3. The End of the Movie also lets us look forward to the upcoming star war movies. Though this is an end to one sequel but at the same time it is also the begining of the next one.
