I watched "A New Hope" tonight for the first time in at least a decade. It reminded me how I felt the first time I watched it:
- the casting of Luke was off with Mark Hamill. He came off as a creepy ghey wuss.
- the script made his character seem whiny
- any comedy provided by Han Solo was appreciated but cheesy
- Carrie Fisher was not wearing a bra
- HAN SHOT FIRST!!!
In addition, the inference of incest was disturbing, Alec Guinness > Ewan McGregor, the newly added special effects added by Lucas were distracting and unnecessary and Jabba looks ridiculous in CGI.
That said, the movie is still 100X better than Phantom Menace and 1,000X better than the Clone Wars.
I'm looking forward to what the newly assembled team has in store.
