Well, Ep4 feels very tired with all this recycling of SW tropes. So, it was not very interesting to follow. It lacks suspense, excitement, wonder… nothing feels new or earned. It’s even becoming quite repetitive, as if it was the “Leia rescue of the week” episode. It still doesn’t look very good: I sure like the sets but the way it’s shot is weak. Adding people sitting sad is also not what I expect from a director known for “character development”. It’s such a lazy work, so as is the easy and useless Ben/Vader bacta tank parallel (I mean: they both are in a bacta tank, so… what ? The guys were brothers and that’s the only stuff you can come up with, a batca tank…). It feels like JJ Abrams movies but without the energy and the occasional good ideas. Quite sad to watch.

So yep, it’s watchable but doesn’t have heart or soul to remember a single thing about it where I thought “oh, this is so well done!”.

Andrew Stanton wrote the last 2 ones, so at least there might be some good writting in this series after all. Unless Leia gets abducted once again to be rescued once again… oh no wait, this is what already happens in ANH!
