This was possibly the worst mistake i have ever made in my life, and yet at the same time a wise choice to watch it when presented with the opportunity. If presented with the chance to watch this wonderful waste of time then do, as long as the copy is of a decent quality and that you don't have to pay for it (or at least no more than the cost of a writable DVD or a video tape) because for some of the more unstable of you folks out there taking your own life might be an option after seeing this film, and paying £/$13 (or appropriate currency for your country)as another reviewer had the misfortune to, may just tip the scales.
There are some treasures in the film that are a must if like me you are a somewhat masochistic viewer and enjoy the odd absolutely terrible or embarrassing movie, just to see if you are man enough to take it (if you have seen any Olsen twin films and lived then you will know what i mean and manliness has been truly proved) such as (small spoiler, although all of this film was spoilt simply by being made) princess Leia's song and the fact that apart from Mark Hamill and the various d-list TV veterans who's careers rely on these things, the entire cast look as though they are being held at gunpoint.
Give it a chance, it is utterly terrible but if the opportunity is there it is not worth turning down and getting upset by not seeing it. Like being sick after having too much to drink, better to get this out of the way and out of your system as quick as possible.
One final warning, like i said at the top, i could not watch any of the star wars films (and indeed any films for a few days) for 6 months after seeing this, and i am one of the few who enjoyed episode one, so if like many you hated episode one, prepare yourself to enter hell.
