Star wars is part of our history. But you have to work at it to follow the thread. Perhaps that's originally why I preferred Star Trek and still find the stories flow better. As a story this film kind of flows. At this stage we have just managed to watch the first 5 films/stories in the right order. A lot became clear that wasn't. The deleted scenes and the explaination for them being deleted provided a lot of missing information. In that sense most of the films are both disjointed and a detective challenge. Mr Lucus deleted quite a lot of important background information in order to get on to the highlight action scenes and dwell on them. Time being an important limitation which is frequently one of the ironys in Star Wars. The quality of the film and acting is exemplary especially when you consider that very little was filmed in order. I must be really slow to only just have realised that Ewan speaks that way because he is emulating Alec Guinness! Doh! It's useful to use the THX facility to set your TV contrast etc settings. Couldn't fathom the audio. Thank goodness there is opportunity to have subtitles which every one has to put up with because there is so much background noise some of us can't hear the vocals enough to understand them at all. Fortunately the subtitles aren't too invasive for those who can hear. And they do prevent the interuptions that "what did he/she just say?" present. The original films have been remastered to match the quality of these new early stories so you hardly notice the differences in time line. Overall this is another great episode in the story. Not sure if it would be good to be able to get a version that includes all the deleted scenes where they were removed. Definitely a good idea to watch them after the film. Once we've finished watching them all and the missing bits it could be interesting to rewatch and see if it all flows better. EnjoyRead full review
