Early Episode III review from Kevin Smith

[OB1]

Everyone thinks they're a better cook than the chef. ;)

The story of Anakin and Padme is vastly different than Han and Leia, and the latter is inherently more fun to watch than the former. Anakin and Padme are Bogart and Bergman (albeit younger and more naive); Han and Leia are Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. Han and Leia's relationship is short and playful, not very pivotal to the story of the OT movies. Anakin and Padme's relationship is naive, brash, serious, and ultimately very tragic, and very important for the story of the entire saga. You cannot use the Han and Leia dynamic with Anakin and Padme.
