If you're an adult Star Wars fan, you probably saw the prequel movies. And there's a good chance you were disappointed. Or maybe you weren't. But whatever. You probably went to see each new movie, like me, hoping that somehow this one would be better, but always being disappointed. With good reason. The new movies, while flashy and filled with epic scenes of Jedi combat and huge space battles, fell short in almost every other area. New characters were either uninteresting or annoying, acting was sub-par, dialogue was cheesy-beyond-all-belief. (I don't like sand.) But even more than that, the new movies seemed to shy away from the original thematic elements of the series - elements such as good vs. evil, self restraint, sacrifice, confronting ones deepest fears - and replacing them with midichlorians, angstyness, and style without substance.
