i have now seen star wars episodes one and two, and i watched them the way lucas intended: as a pan & scan crop on a low res TFT display accompanied by the dulcet tones of a quiet yet ruthlessly persistent buzzing noise while severely jet lagged and moderately sleep deprived.
i only fell asleep four times.
i thought attack of the clones was alright. doesn't compare to the original trilogy imo. i was distinctly less appreciative of the phantom menace. i was too tired to watch the third one, so i never found out what happened to that wacky anakin character. i sure hope he doesn't turn to the dark side, or that qui gon guy is gonna look like a complete tool.
my wife told me before watching that episode 1 has a single funny joke involving jar-jar. i think she over counted by one. we both agree on the number of funny jar-jar jokes in episode 2 (that being zero).
not giving them review scores because it's not really fair to do that if i kept falling asleep due to jet lag.
