“Lucas still can’t write. His dialogue crashes and burns like an X-wing zapped out of the sky. Shameless cliches … clank around with achingly awful love scenes … while time-wasting minutiae … share script pages with second-clause-first Yoda-speak. … Christensen, for his part, undergoes the change from noble warrior to corrupted soul with clenched jaw and stony stare meant to speak volumes but doesn’t say anything at all.”
