I agree Mrbenja, it can be rationalised. It's not great, but it's feasible. And again, shame about the rest of the movie.

Just going back a few posts:

But Star Wars is different, mostly thanks to brilliant The Empire Strikes Back.

Why is Star Wars different? Yes, the first two movies are very good, but they're not the only great movies ever made. I think our propensity to want to correct or save these movies, predominantly the prequels of course, comes from our own inability or unwillingness to distance ourselves from the original trilogy sufficiently to be able to disregard the prequels as simply badly written and directed (and acted, and...) I don't really care enough about the prequels enough to bother fixing them. Either that, or I just think they're so incredibly misconceived that they are literally beyond salvaging. Whatever it is, I don't see Star Wars as being different, despite the immense impact the OT had on my childhood back then. If they're bad, they're bad.
