george lucas must have gone senile.. or just plain greedy and stupid.

my friends, this man is a crook. he stole my $10. he made a film purely for kids. it has all the aspects of a bad childrens show: colours and silly action and nothing deeper than that.

i feel that if he had started with Anakin already at the age he was in episode 2, and made a more gritty feel to things the movie would have been much better. also, if he had spent a while longer trying to make a meaningful star wars script, it would have turned out much better. too much advanced tech make the 3 original films seem like they were in the past. lucas failed at his own game and i'd like to kick him in the nuts for it, cuz he's ruined my favorite movie series.

this is a very powerful documentary. its fully involved and takes no short cuts. it is very thorough and explains events in great detail. the history is accurate and fair to all involved.

there is a healthy mix of both history (which you learn in school) and interesting little tidbits (that you don't learn in school).

the entire show - from the commentary to the acting out of events to the history lessons - are displayed in a very inviting and warm way. the creators and writers, etc. must really love Canada, because they sure put a lot of work into this piece of art.

i'm always on the lookout for this to have another run on CBC and you should too. 10/10.

The skateboarding is sick in this piece of work. it slows down a bit for the half-pipe bits, but the rest makes up for it.

I hope that everyone notices that the camera is being held by another skater, who is going the same speed, and sometimes going backwards. that takes some guts - as if skaters in general dont have enough.

i'm personally not a skater, but if you are like me, and just love to see these guys beat the s*** out of their boards and get mad air, get this. (available on the net or Kazaa)

a bonus is that one of my fave actors, jason lee, is in it and has a few pieces where he just talks.
