I have been a Star Wars fan since I saw the first movie on its opening day. I have enjoyed each successive move, though some more than others. I have introduced my 11 year old son to the series through VHS & now DVDs and now there is this movie. He was pumped about it and I was cautiously optimistic. I was skeptical about the transition from real life to animated feature. The movie however did calm my misgivings and it is a very good film. The story line, characters and action were all up to par and I hope that this is not the last of these features. Great, family friendly movie to take in as a matinee with your kids. Keep up the great storytelling work Geroge Lucas.
