the attack of the clones

lucas george overrated is.. clones the attack watching i am tv on.

someone please explain to me why does everyone good and clever speak in a shuddh american twang and everyone evil or stupid a caricature of some ethnic stereotype.. except yoda the wise who speaks in inverted sentences oops- sentences inverted speaks in who.

i have never been a star wars junkie- so i find these prequels to be neither disrespectful of the earlier trilogy nor am i blind to the fact they are pretty much awful.

basically bad teen action films with every caricature and cliché possible, set in locations typical to those films like an american diner, or a mansion, or a mobile home- all rendered in bad overpriced animated set design. the action scenes and the costumes look like they were imagined only to be franchised in merchandise of various forms- mcdonalds freebies with value meals or video games.

i am glad i did not fall for the hype and pay good money to see this in the theater. am going to be more glad if i am able to avoid ‘the revenge of the sith’ too.

be with me, may the force.

and is that ayesha dharker in a one scene role playing the queen? real hollywood breakthrough, eh?
