    BEAUTIFUL picture—so full of heart and adventure. Small stakes that feel big. Makes me nostalgic for middle America. I would die for Alvin.

    This is legit such a fun movie. It’s a shame people can’t get past some of the cheesy Naboo scenes, which seem fewer and fewer every time I revisit.

    I’ve always loved Obi Wan’s story in this. The reveal of the two armies being created, plus his battles with Jengo Fett and conversation with Dooku are all so so good.

    And outside of the before-mentioned Naboo scenes, Anakin’s story isn’t half bad either. and his scenes in particular benefit from…

    No plot just 90 minutes of the coolest shit you’ve ever seen. It gets so much right. So many scenes where I expected it to do the safe or cliche thing only to do something different and better. Wonderful action filmmaking elevated by really neat weapons/gadgets and scenery. Shame this was dumped to Hulu, would have been great to watch on the big screen.
