I haven’t seen too many Rodriguez films, but I kind a got a Spy Kids vibe from it. Is that a weird comparison? It had that sunny and “campy” feel to it. I’ve only seen a few other of his films, and I can’t say I’m much of a fan of either, so maybe this is just what his style is like? All I know about his career in general is that he fluctuates between campy kids films and really hard R retro exploitation, so maybe his interpretation of SW simply falls in the former category?

I personally wouldn’t call it a bad episode, but its not one I’m likely to return to very often.
