Tamara and I were watching Attack of the Clones the other night, and as my mind wandered ( I mean come on it was Attack of the Clones ) I figured out why the new star wars movies sucked - and it can be summed up in 3 words. No Han Solo.

Really, that spirit of whimsy and comic relief is no where to be found in the dry and serious second trilogy. Tamara suggested that maybe that is Jar-Jar was all about, and I have to admit that I have no idea what Lucas was thinking about when he decided to include that unholy computer generated creature, but if it was to try and add that touch of campy fun that Harrison Ford injected into the originals he fell far, far short.

The Jedi thing was mysterious and mystical in the first set of movies but Han provided the counterpoint - “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid”.

I watched the first few minutes of Serenity online the other day and I was thinking - THAT is what the original Star Wars movies were like, they were, ummmmm, oh yea, fun. The last three, not so much.
