Well it isn't Empire. But it is far better than the first two episodes. The Vader center points of the plot are awesome. Kashyyk is visually stunning. The lightsaber duels are great. Some of the story points are a little hokey and some of the diialog seems to have been written to slam Bush. All in all though I recommend this movie for every Star Wars fan. It does give good closure, more insight into Vader, and cameos by Chewy , Capitan Antilles and his blockade runner, and Tarkin. The Wookies, at least Chewy and the other main Wookie, actually appear to be men in big furry suits. The best parts were no Ewoks, extremely limited Jar Jar, and the part where Vader kills the younglings. The worst parts were the obviously politically motivated dialog, Lucas' inability to direct actors, and Hayden Christiansons acting. I defended Christianson in the last film and maybe I should in this one. Afterall he didn't write his own crappy dialog.

Well at least Highlord will be pleased about the men in suits. He'll bitch like a teamster over too much CGI

By the way, I also need to know at what time in the film will be good to take a piss. Obviously I will loaded on bourbon.

Best piss break time midmovie is probably right as obiwan leaves to chase after the seperatist leadership.

Ok...a few things.
First, Patrick...dear Patrick...you could have told me to go piss WHENEVER Anakin and Padme had any dialogue. Their first romantic scene together was a cinematic abortion. It would have bought me plenty of time.
Second...it is very bad to be right handed in the Star Wars universe.
Third...Coruscant is overwrought with penis shaped buildings. The phallic themed skyscrapers tell us a lot about Mr. Lucas.
Fourth...the gecko lizard planet that produced the standand Star Wars land beast conveyance(dewback, tauntaun etc) that Obi-Wan rode should be obliterated. Goddamn Lucas. Were the 50 shrieks(some even after the scene was over and the beast discarded) necessary?
Fifth...anyone who has a basic understanding of astronomy and accretion theory can tell you there is no way a volcanic moon can form that close to a gravity well. Such a tectonically unstable worldlet would never had rested long enough to form a core...its composite molecules would have been absorbed by the planet itself, or at the very least formed a dust cloud in a circadian orbit. Fucking Lucas.
Lastly...I was very impressed with the quick way the Emperor stripped the gay Republic paint off those cruisers and stocked it immediately with a non-clone crew. Say what you want about the ugly prick, Palpatine could multi-task.

If I am ever suffering badly, and need someone to put me out of my misery, I am not calling Obi Wan. Why didn't he just go ahead and piss down the hill at Anakin after he had maimed him and left him on the slippery edge of the lava flow, and taken his lightsaber. Why didn't he get Ani's wallet.

That's a given, if it hasn't been thrown before departure.

So, i watched RotS and I loved it. Natalie Portman was horrible as Padme though....I was very disappointed with that. The movie was visually stunning and all I said throughout the whole movie was "You Bastard!" to Anakin....and when I say throughout the whole movie, I'm being serious. I was sad at the end. I felt sorry for Vader. I did like seeing the Twilek though.....that was one hot bitch BTW, I thought it was pretty funny when Obi left Anakin by the lava, that's what the bastard deserved.....poor younglings....*sigh* Anakin looked pretty funny squirming around with stumps.....

I did feel nostalgic at the end there with the twin Suns of Tattoine and Luke's theme and all...but at the same time I thinking again what a great a friend Obi is..."hey Owen and Beru, watch this kid for me...he shouldn't be any trouble at all!"

Apparently, in a galactic republic tens of thousands of years old with a really high number of habitable worldlets the only two that Lucas really really liked was Tatooine and Coruscant. Fuckfire, the former should have been the second capital as many times as they went there. Luke said in Episode IV that "bright spot...yada yada place farthest from" BS
