M: So what did you think about the movie?

W: Well, I think this "Star Wars" episode¹ is an excellent piece of work, but not as good as the previous ones.

M: Really? I don't agree. This "Star Wars" episode was incredible²!

W: Why do you think so?

M: Well, one of the most spectacular³ things about this one was the special effects. State of the art special effects are the main reason for the success of previous episodes⁴, so audiences have high expectations for this one, and I don't think they will be disappointed.

W: You are right. The special effects were amazing. And I like the fact that they created so many fantastic settings⁵ and otherworldly costumes, weapons and creatures.

M: It's kind of cool that they are still using the same “Star Wars” theme song for this movie.

W: Yeah! It reminds me of the previous "Star Wars" scenes.

M: I know exactly what you mean. Hearing that song gives me a nostalgic feeling.

W: I thought the overall⁶ plot of the movie was very interesting, but I don't think the character development was that strong.

M: Do you think that they had anything to do with the casting of the movie?

W: No, the casting is great and the actors were excellent. They just didn’t have a lot of funny or meaningful dialogues. The writing was also a little weak.

M: Well, maybe. But I like the little kid who played “Anakin Skywalker”. I can't imagine anyone else playing that role.

W: I liked him too. He is so cute! You know, even though I was slightly disappointed, I can't wait for the next episode. I wonder when they’re going to start making it and when it’s scheduled for release⁷?

M: I've no idea. But looking at the success of "Star Wars" episode, I've a strong feeling production for the next episode will be selling pretty soon. I hope It will be even better than this one.

W: I hope so, too.

M: Well, I think we should go now. It's getting pretty late.

W: Okay, let's go!
