Sigh... wonder if Star Wars 3 will suck less than 1 and 2?

The only place to go is up.

LOL! I was about to post pretty much the same thing :) But to confess, I actually liked the first one better than a lot people I've talked to because I read Terry Brooks' novelization first, which filled in some plot points that apparently got cut out of the movie. Of course Jar-jar was still awful and young Anakin was too cutesy for the role, but apart from some things like that I was able to enjoy the rest, which did have some very cool fx and settings and action with esp. the Darth Maul fight. I had a similar experience with #2--didn't like the actor playing Anakin and had some other complaints, but there was enough other stuff that I could still enjoy it--light-saber fight with Yoda and Christopher Lee made up for everything else. I figure the third one should be better than the previous ones because the storyline is bound to take a darker twist, which should serve to contain Lucas' tendency to add muppets to the movie; Christopher Lee will play a good villain (BTW he's got an official website in the works--wasn't done last time I visited but it said it'd be up soon); and the light saber fight between Obi-wan and Darth should be the best of the series.

Incidentally, in case anyone didn't catch the FR post on this, tonight is the night John Rhys-Davies is on "Dennis Miller".
