My final verdict. It sucked, just like the other two prequels.
It never did get much better. I did find a couple of good things to say about it though. Yoda looked pretty good. So did the wookies.
The plot was obvious and unoriginal. It seemed to me that a lot of dialog was rehashed from the original trilogy. If this was Lucas' way of relating to it (the original trilogy), he failed. It only made this movie seem hackneyed.
I still would have said the movie was okay, except for the ending. It went on too long. We didn't need to be shown the twins being born and given to foster parents. We know that happened. We also did not need to see Darth Vader rise from the table (complete with Frankensteinian lurch) and the "NOOOooo..." shout (talk about hackneyed. At least he didn't drop to his knees). There was a scene that would have been a perfect ending. Anakin is lying burned. Darth Vader's mask is lowered onto his face. Cue John William's "Imperial March" (just the first bar). Fade to credits. Everything after that was unnecessary.

I didn't get that. I only ever saw a spoiled, whiny brat. Even his fear of losing Padme seemed more about his loss, rather than her death. Of course, the Jedi counsel was preaching nonsense to him. It was almost as if they were trying to drive him to the Dark Side. The prequels sucked all around.
