- Controversy! A (negative) AICN review of the movie was taken down at
Lucasfilm’sWarner Brothers’ request. - Since Rotten Tomatoes still isn’t calculating, here are some reviews from the majors: The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Empire. We’ll start getting the bulk of them later this week. When I’m on a plane and most of CJ will be getting drunk. Great timing, huh?
If it makes a difference to anyone, they’re now saying the AICN review was taken down at the request of WB, not LFL.
Added the AICN link: Thanks, Stooge.
so Lucas finally got to produce (or a least approve of) a whole Star Wars movie after his love for CGI, looks fun though
