This episode is less about the force and more of a farce but not a really terrible one.
It is a total zany cartoon that is like a bugs bunny comedy at times instead of a Star Wars adventure. I had a pretty bad reaction to it at first, especially to Jar Jar but on repeat viewing I have decided it is reasonably pleasant and harmless. It is probably pretty sweet and funny for some kids but to be honest my 9 year old was not that impressed and I wasn't either. It is not awful but just has too many over the top elements.
I love C3PO but the dialogue he is given here is mostly not that funny and he is treated like a Tom & Jerry character getting bounced and thrown around on occasion. As for Jar Jar well he is farcical as always with annoying dialogue but a couple of more charming moments for kids enjoyment.
A disappointing episode considering the high standard of this show but I will give it some credit for being not totally without charm, especially for children. I just am not a fan of the show tipping over the edge into full cartoon mayhem which this does at times.
My rating: 6/10.
