Film Special Sunday, May 16, 1999

Kelsey, 11, Middletown, Md.: I loved it! It was awesome. I liked Jar Jar (Binks). He was clumsy.

Will Obringer, 22, D.C.: It kicked butt. The movie blows you away. Qui-Gon was what you would expect of a Jedi. The most amazing was the light saber battle.

Joel, 11, Upper Marlboro, Md. : The movie was excellent. Better than I expected. My favorite charecter was Anakin (Skywalker). I can't wait for the next movie.

Edward, 9, Washington, D.C.: Loved the movie. I liked Jar Jar Binks. The ending was great

Danielle Kubi, 10, Washington, D.C.: It was cool. I liked the Jedi. I liked at the end when the little boy became a Jedi.

John Reiss, 13, Alexandria, Va.: Best "Star Wars" so far. I liked the battle scene and Qui-Gon Jinn. Go see it!

Pascal Brazey, 30, France: It was great. I had no real favorite characater. The special effects were mind-boggling. The combat at the end is amazing. The whole thing is amazing.

Juan, 11, Silver Spring: It was great. Anakin is my favorite character. My favorite parts were when Anakin was killing all the robots on the spaceship, and when he blew up the spaceship.

Victor Nazarian, 34, Rockville, Md.: I laughed many times, and I cried once. It was fantastic! It wasn't just a good "Star Wars" movie, it was a great film. If I could go back in and see it right now, I would.

David, 14, Chevy Chase, Md.: I thought it was good. The special effects were very good. They really caught your eye. The writing wasn't quite as good as the others. The ending will make you think. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Alex, 12, Washington, D.C.: It was really good. The end it ws really funny. Typical "Star Wars" ending.

Rockville, Md.: Sixteen years was a long time to wait, but worth it. What do reviewers know? Fun flick that I WILL see again.

Falls Church, Va.: Outstanding! I do plan to see it again. I think that the advance reviews are misleading. What more motivation is needed for characters than good versus evil. Wonderful special effects. I don't know if I can wait three years for the next episode!

Pamela, 16, Washington, D.C.: I loved the movie. I liked the character Jar Jar Binks. He was very funny, and he made the movie interesting. I also loved the battles. I loved the Queen Amidala because she was real, and she protected her people. I liked Anakin Skywalker. Anakin loved his mother and he was very protective, and he was very smart.

Travis, 11, Fairfax, Va.: The movie was very surprising. Jar Jar Binks was clumsy. I liked the scene with Jar Jar having someone stuck on his foot (during the battle).

Jennifer Kim, 23, Arlington Va.: Phenomenal is the only word to describe the movie. The costumes of the queen were amazing. The ending battle scene was enrapturing.

Adssa, 17, Washington, D.C.: I thought it was good. It was really exciting. The graphics were really good. The queen was really bossy. She was really good.

Evan Field, 23, D.C.: Well worth it. I drove four hours to get here. (Obi-Wan) Kenobi was a great character. The pod chase was very intense.

Erick, 17, Washington, D.C.: The special effects were there, sound was there, graphics were there. The story line was weak. Overall, it was a good movie.

Grant, 10, Washington D.C.: I thought that the movie was great, and my favorite part was when Obi-Wan Kenobi fought Darth Maul. My favorite character was Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Maul was a good bad guy.

Gerald, 13, D.C.: It was great. All of the new characters were great. The racing scene is cool.

Josh Thomas, 19, D.C.: Incredible. The special effects were amazing and made the movie. The new bad guy (Darth Maul) is scary looking. The final battle was unreal.

Thomas Huff, 29, Silver Spring, Md.: It was a roller coaster ride. Phenomenal effects and sounds. Pretty good story.

Brett Johnson, 9, Washington, D.C.: I loved it! I liked at the end because of the special effects. Anakin was my favorite character.

William, 17, Washington, D.C.: It was good. I saw "Return of the Jedi," and I think this was better. Anakin was my favorite character. The pod race was really good. He was real fast.

Aaron, 13, Washington, D.C.: It was really good. There was a lot of action. And it was funny. Anakin Skywalker was my favorite character. I liked when Qui-Gon told him to get in the spaceship, and he took off and started killing all the robots.
