The Wince Factor

After a year has past its time to look at the Star Wars series in a different light.

I decided to use the Wince Factor.

I will assign one positive and one negative to each of the six fims.

So starting with...

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Wince Factor: Jar Jar Binks

Cool Factor: Liam Neeson as Qui Gonn


Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

Wince Factor: Love Scenes

Cool Factor: Yoda Kicking Butt


Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Wince Factor: Jedi Temple Slaughter

Cool Factor: Nods to Episode IV


Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

Wince Factor: 1970's Hair Styles

Cool Factor: Luke Skywalker


Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Wince Factor: Such a great movie but... Yoda as a puppet

Cool Factor: Too many to mention


Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Wince Factor: Do you have to ask? Ewoks.

Cool Factor: Jabba The Hutt Rescue

While we can argue the merits of each of these films (and we all have our favorites) it is important to remember that they each have their merits as well as those moments that make us wince.
