It's hard to say something original about the Star Wars franchise. It's hard for me; but not just me. Matt Honan has
assembled the largest collection of links to blogger reviews and discussions of Episode II in the known galaxy (the Nuisance's
review is linked to the Roman Numeral II in the second para), and if you look at several at random, you won't see a lot of startling insights.
If you're Bruce Sterling, however, it's no problem at all.
