Star Wars -- has it really come to this?

One ... one ... of the things I hated about these new Star Wars movies are the scenes that are painfully obviously designed as video game levels. Pod racing, assembly line running, etc. they look like really high-resolution video games and it really looks like they were made that way on purpose. Why, I do not know.

I had high hopes for Episode III, however. It seemed to be the most interesting of the prequel movies, as it had to do with the split between Obi-Wan and Anakin. Indeed, when I was a kid I used to think how terrible it would be to die before all the Star Wars films were finished.

Today in the Sun, all my hopes are dashed. Apparently Obi-Wan and Anakin fight their final battle in a damed video game:

Anakin and Obi-Wan fight on platforms on the lava. They control these like surfboards.

Sigh.
