I totally loved it. It has some bad points, but it delivers a very satisfying end and really pulls the two sets of films together.

How would you rank the movies from your fav to worst....I have not seen III yet but I have a feeling it will top my list. But as of right now:

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Star Wars 'A New Dawn'
3. Return of The Jedi (ewoks annoy me but still great)
4. Clone Wars
5. The Jar Jar Binks trainwreck

Going to see Sith after the weekend mayhem.

Throughly enjoyed the film. I enjoyed Ep II though, so your mileage may vary. This is what I wanted to see out of the prequils. This is the story where we all know what is going to happen, we just don't know how. It was fun watching it unfold.

So after seeing Sith it still ranks behind A New Dawn(just kidding Xianti)...A New Hope? I have read reviews saying this was the best of them all. Lucas does need a slap for some of his dialogue and 'love' scenes between Anakin and Padme...

LOL, you can't be serious.

To white text we go!

He's injured the entire movie (By Windo just before the begining of the movie.) and does nothing but flee and get his ass pwn3d for about an hour.

I believe I liked RotJ quite a bit back in the day. I was nine for god's sake. Have you watched it recently? It's at least as fluffy and unconvincing as TPM.
I'd put those two a little notch above clone wars, which I found utterly forgettable.
What happened in Clone Wars again? Anakin got to know Padme a little better and then killed some sandpeople? And then Saruman went apeshit?

My rankings...

Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
RotJ
Clone Wars
Phantom Menace

Phantom Menace was just bad, Clone Wars was slightly better but nothing compared to the first 3 films.

I'll see the new one this weekend or maybe sometime next week, whenever I'm free.

Nah,

4 sabres < Obi Wan - Seen in Ep 3
Obi Wan > Aniken - Seen in Ep 3

Thus 4 sabres may or may not be > Aniken

DV > Obi Wan - Seen in Ep 4

Therefore, final analysis says

DV > Obi Wan > Grevious
DV > Grevious

It's a generally accepted fact that Lucas is terrible at directing love scenes. He does them like he's a prepubescent boy. But then again, that sort of mentality produces some great action/genre adventure flicks.

He should just avoid the love scenes altogether.

I loved it. It's more like the original 3.

Of course love scene sucked but they are just minime in the film.

Loved the end, with the Death Star at it's beginning...

It is a great link between EP1-2 and EP 4-5-6.

my rank:

Empire strike back
A new hope
Revenge of the Sith
ROTJ
attack of the clones
phantom menace

If nothing else, this movie is awesome becuase of all the amazing plotpoints that occur. Basically everything that is alluded to in the future movies occurs in this one.

And I also loved the part where Palpatine talked about his master.

I haven't seen it yet, but I hear there are references to Boba Fett. Are there any references to Han Solo? They should have showed him as a young pilot for the Empire.. or Republic.

Well, Han is older than Luke by at least 10 years if not more... maybe they could have shown him in pilot school or something.

I said AT LEAST 10.

And how the Hell should I know when kids in a distant galaxy long long ago go to pilot school???? That annoying kid Anakin was piloting garbage at age 5!

Oh, maybe he has to get a permit at age 16 first as well and drive with supervised adult.

Oh ... I forgot ... Han is in the movie. The at least 10-year-old Han shows up and starts making out with the at least 10-second-old baby Leah. That was a hot scene! She even had the mini hair buns.

My mistake.

Revenge of the Sith is probably my Top 3 favorite Star Wars Movies...

It's definetly #1 for Action of all the trilogy.
Return of the Jedi, and Empire strikes back are my favorite as well... This one totally blew me away too.

Palpatine's master must be a character we have not been exposed to. Does he actually appear? Or is he another legacy character that is just alluded to?

For all his power, the ability to save everyone around him from death. He couldn't save himself when his apprentice killed him in his sleep.

IN WHITE: I believe he's Anakin's "father." He also had the ability to create life from mitochlorians (the force stuff). A power only he had.

One thing kinda bothered me. When they go to arrest that leader of the Senate Guy who's actually a Sith lord, why do 3 jedi go down immediately? You'd think they'd be harder to kill than that...

and general grievous (however you spell his name) spends pretty much the entire movie getting his ass handed to him. haha. He sucks. Xianti: time to change your avatar.

I wish they'd focused on teh space battles mroe. I loved the CGI!

I just saw the movie tonight. I agree. He was lame. He was running for his life the entire time.

How the hell can they make him such a bad-ass in Clone Wars, but turn him into such a pussy in the movie? It's like it wasn't even the same character. I was seriously disappointed.

Movie was fantastic! Grievous sucked.

Just saw the movie yesterday. I would say that it is probably one of the better movies made. I almost wish they could have made the older movies with the new special effects.

Downside to EP3:
Vader Yelling, "NOOOOOOOOOOO", probably one of the gayest things I've seen, I actually laughed out loud in the theatre.

General Grevious=not a bad ass, maybe I need to see some of the clone wars cartoon but I was extremely dissapointed in him.

Order 66 sucks my balls!

Upsides:
The Opening scene was pretty bad ass.
Chewbacca Rules!!!
Obi-Wan is the man.
Yoda's Fight Scene with Darth Sidious was cool.

All in all it was a great movie. It definetly left me wanting more. so whats next Episode 3.5 or 7?..LOL. I seriously want another movie but only if they can make it without ruining the franchise.

PS. Hey Rilla, Great theory, would have never thought of that!

OMG you guys need to raise yr standards. This movie was bad. Not "From Justin to Kelly" bad, sure, ... more like "Matrix Revolutions" bad, i.e. if you really wanted it to be good to justify the long wait for closure, you can give all the dumb stuff a pass and it's tolerable.

SPOILERS (sorta)
Obi Wan: "Anakin is the father?"
Padme: "Well, since he's the only human I've been in the same room with for the last 2 years, and C3PO sure isn't the father, then well yes. Duh"

Anakin: "YOU'RE the Sith Lord!"
Darth Sidious: "Yeah, pretty much"
Anakin: "You're pretty much Satan"
DS: "Yeah. But I can teach you neat stuff."
Anakin: "Really?"
DS: "I promise"
Anaking: "Well, a promise from Satan is all I need. kneels Hail Master! How many eight-year-olds would you like me to kill?"
DS: "A lot"

Chancellor: "Since the Jedi tried to kill me, we're going to be an empire now"
Applause from the Senate
Padme: This is terrible!
Padme's Secretary or Whatever: I thought we were already an empire ...

Yoda: There's a dead guy who wants to talk to you...
Obi Wan: Who?
Yoda: Your old master
Obi Wan: Where?
Yoda: He's just off to the left side of the screen since we couldn't get Liam Neeson to appear in this movie for any amount of money.

I could go on and on. I think I will, later.
