Vacuosity

Sticky soles

Jordan and I went to see Star Wars Episode II tonight. Strange, very strange. It appears that George Lucas has decided to abandon traditional movie-making elements in favour of schtick. And it did abound. There was no shortage of strange creatures, many who spoke English but with some earth-inspired accent (Chinese, Irish, Greek, Jamaican).

There were fabulously imaginative sets, machinery, and wardrobe. But a lot it of came off a bit like the telling of a story by a seven-year-old.

Yoda definitely earned the best fight scene award, but it begs the question: If the short, green 900-year-old can manage a double back flip, is the cane just for show?
