I had no idea what to expect, but once I opened the door to Novo Ita, I was pleasantly surprised to enter a futuristic-like world where humans and nature live together in harmony. We were brought to a dim-lit room in the back where we were greeted by a video introducing the guest to the city.
Soon, it was our turn to enter the city of Novo Ita. There were so many amazing pieces I wanted to buy for my apartment and my boyfriend was eagerly looking through the Star Wars themed art they were selling from a previous exhibit. There was a group still exploring the exhibit ahead of us, so we had some time to explore the posters, art and other trinkets in the pop-up shop. Once we walked into the Spectra Art Space, we were surprised to see what was seemingly a small shop. Throughout these multiple points, each character’s story can be pieced together to help the visitor understand Novo Ita and how it came to be. On the screen, it appears as if the animated characters are really in that spot as they tell a story. Let's hope he meets with a little - shall we say - 'accident' before Episode 2.Once you begin, you’ll use your phone to scan codes around the exhibit. Rather that he's been told to repeatedly shout things like "Yippee!" and "Wizard!" And the CG Binks (think a patois-jabbering Goofy crossed with a newt) serves no purpose beyond shakey, slapstick comic relief. It's not that Lloyd is especially wooden in the way that most kiddie-actors can be.
Perhaps it's the hokey dialogue - or just the fact that, during filming, they were given relatively little to really interact with - but they certainly don't appear to be having as much fun as the audience.Īlso, the scenes focussing on Anakin Skywalker (Lloyd) and Jar Jar Binks (Best) will irritate anyone over 12. We all know that McGregor, Neeson, Portman, and Samuel L Jackson (who makes a brief appearance as a Jedi Master) are more than capable of delivering memorable performances, yet all appear stiff and uncomfortable here. The plot may not be as lacking as has been claimed (the scenes which deal with the politics of the Republic and the back-door shenanigans of a certain Senator Palpatine are surprisingly interesting), but it is clear that, after 20-odd years of refusing to direct, Lucas has not improved his actor-handling abilities.
