i am a huge sci-fi fan. as if you hadn't noticed and after this weekends movie marathon, of watching star wars 1, 2, 3, and 4, i must say that i am finding the acting and character's to be a little under par. now that i have had time to actually watch them and really look at them, i am disappointed. i feel episode 4, 5 and 6 are actually better with the story line and acting, then 1, 2 and 3 have been. episode 1 was the best of the first three. the acting was decent and the story line decent. after episode one, it went downhill. the worst acting job would have to be actor who played anakin skywalker. in episode 2, he was almost an automaton. very re-hersed sounding lines and no emotions unless he was angry. the other actors did a better job of creating the appropriate emotion for the scene.
on a better note, it is really neat to watch episode 4 right after episode 3. i now understand it better and see things in it that I didn't see before. it's rather enjoyable. i assume we will watch 5 and 6 this week to complete the series.
