Today I watched Ocean’s 11 and Star Wars: Episode 1 on my new TV. Two movies I thought would be good on the big screen. I got what I wanted out of both of them.

I have to say, though, that Star Wars made absolutely no sense. Of course I’ve seen it a few times before, but this time I tried to understand what they were talking about.

• The whole Trade Federation thing is much too complex.
• Why didn’t they go back to get Anakin’s mother? The only reason they didn’t get her the first time was because they didn’t have money at the time, however, they should have gone back right away and bought her freedom as well instead of just forgetting about her.
• They can project their holograms and see everything on a planet. Why was the senate saying they couldn’t tell if there was really a war on Naboo? Just look and see. You do it all the time.
• The whole thing with Palpatine creating and then getting a super powerful position is ridiculous. If it were that easy everyone would have tried that long ago.
• The Jedi council seems to have no power. They say they don’t want to have Anakin trained and then Quigon says he’s going to train him anyway and they’re like, “OK, what can we do about it?”
• Anakin’s a little boy and they criticize him for missing his mother. Whatever.
• Anakin is rescued and no plan is made for his care. He’s taken with the Jedi to a planet that’s in the middle of a war into highly dangerous situations. Huh?
• Why is Jar Jar Binks taken around everywhere? Jar Jar gave me chills because he made me think about how messed up George Lucas must be. He’s definitely got issues.

Everything in the movie is like this. I can’t believe what a bad writer George Lucas is. As I was watching I was coming up with alternative plots that both made sense and would accomplish what was needed to tell the story.

I know it’s silly, people have already said all this, I just wanted to get it out.
