Rogers could act and sing. Autry could only sing. I love The Phantom
Empire, but in the same way some people love Plan 9 ..

I had somewhat the same reaction to Star Wars. I remember leaving the
theater immensely disappointed after Empire .. I saw Phantom Menace, but not
the last two. It was clear after Jar-Jar that this was not my Star Wars. I
thought, too, that Lucas doesn't understand his own characters, but that's
another thread ..
