I would prefer a Rogue Squadron TV series or better yet, movies. Or the Thrawn Trilogy.

It was awful. Lucas must have used Michael Moore as a consultant for character development and a comic book editor for dialog.
The acting was cardboard (and these actors are far more capable). I'm reminded of the scene in "Amadeus" when Mozart complains of Italian Opera: "
"Oh, bello, bello, bello! Come on now, be honest. Wouldn't you all rather listen to your hairdressers than Hercules? Or Horatius? Or Orpheus? All those old bores! people so lofty they sound as if they $h!t marble!"
The scenes were comic book frames. An "ADD" victim would complain of "channel surfing" between the scenes. Maybe, by keeping the scenes short, they wouldn't have to pay the CGI crew as much money (as it was the computer graphics were the only thing worth seeing).
The theology was in error. Anyone who sees spirituality as less than absolute will fawn over the "force".
The politics were obviously extreme leftists.
Nice special effects...it reminded me of "Star Trek, the Motion Picture"...but Episode 3 is a worse film. I'll wager 1 fictitious Federation Credit that if Lucas has an extended DVD version of this unworthy Ton-ton dropping, then he'll argue that abortion would have prevented Anakin Skywalker from looking to the "dark side" to "save the life of mother."
The crowd was almost sprinting out of the theater as soon as the first closing credit appeared.
Was Lucas smoking dope and drinking throughout the production? Some of the dialog between Portman (Padmé) and Christensen (Skywalker), and later McGregor (Kenobi) was so horrifying, it made me wonder if Lucas was out of his mind. It was so obviously edited and re-spliced very badly. How many takes were needed among these actors to get the right overacted emotionless cardboard comic book effect? It needed a Harrison Ford, Han Solo so badly.
I'm so happy it's dead. Instead of making a beautiful film, Lucas tried to insult politicians quoting "evil empire" and he poorly attempts belittling the conservative values he hates. Those who lavish praise on these films look like fanatics needing religion...because they use these dime novels as a religion.
