review written 2/23/2003

At the time of this review, only Parts 1 and 2 were complete.

This film pushes the limits of Flash in ways that impress me. There's a downright three-dimensional look to the motion of objects. There's lighting effects, wipes of all sorts and well-built characters. The old Flash standby of the preloader is a joy on both films.

And the script will bring a smile to the face of anyone who played old-school video games.

I don't know how Nate Craddock pulled this off. This is comic art. And he made a perfect assumption: People who like Star Wars also like retro video games.

Part 2 is a bit disappointing; it drags at times. This is unfortunate. Part 1, though, is pure gold.

The voice talent ranges from tolerable to excellent (Craddock himself turns in the best performances).

Don't miss this. Part 1 is good enough to stand by on its own; Part 2, while it boasts more incredible visuals, is not quite up to par, but still worth a watch.
