The ChubbChubbs!

The film's lackluster story and older than dirt gags -- it makes The Flintstones look like Shakespeare! -- keep it from reaching the outer limits of enjoyment.

There is a slight twist in the tail of the tale here, but otherwise this is an unremarkable addition to the “Star Wars” franchise. Essentially, a clumsy janitor with ambitions to be the singer in a club is fired for being useless. Out on his ear, he is warned by none other than “Jar Jar Binks” that the dreaded “Chubb Chubbs” are coming. With everyone fleeing for their lives - even “ET”, it’s left to him to rescue a family of chick-like creatures from this band of axe-wielding ogres. Can he serenade them into submission, or…? It’s all watchable enough, the pub is quite cleverly called the “Ale e Inn” which I quite liked and of course there’s a message about never judging a book by it’s cover, but none of it looks to have had an human hand or eye anywhere near it and it’s production line stuff.
