LONDON, England -- The Star Wars franchise can no longer be taken seriously, according to one former Jedi master.

"Ummm, well, they've kind of got silly now, haven't they?" actor Liam Neeson told The Toronto Sun yesterday while doing interviews for his latest film, the forthcoming ensemble romantic comedy Love Actually.

"That last (Star Wars movie) was just pyrotechnics, you know," Neeson said of Episode II -- Attack of The Clones, lamenting that the "computerized stuff" fails to connect with either the actors or audiences.

Now we know that you obviously don't search the newswires for these stories.

What does "taken seriously" mean?

 

[Shinobi]

It means that Star Wars was once regarded as a part of near-mystical, quasi-religious segment in our pop culture, prior to the making of the perquels...not unlike The Matrix.

I think.

i can't be the only one that read this as "Leslie Neelson"instead of LIam Neeson. Leslie>Liam i might add.

Except only one of the Matrix movies is any good
