And since today is the actual Five year Anniversary for ROTS (and the 11th for TPM), I figured it was time to bump and say Happy Anniversary for those that enjoyed this movie. I liked it at first, but over the years I think less and less of it. I still like the Duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan, but still despise the duel between Yoda and Sidious. Loved Ian McDiarmid in this one (as well as the others, but he was given a chance to run with it in this one), though Grievous sucked (though still a cool design, so bring it on Sideshow). Some terrible dialogue, like the other films, but some lines just make me cringe. Two big disappointments for me though. First, that they took out the line in which Palpatine admits to Anakin that he used the Force to create him. I knew it long before the film came out that they did away with the line, but I still held out hope that they snuck it back in. And second, that they cut Liam Neeson's dialogue with Yoda at the end of the film. My main complaint with AOTC and ROTS is the lack of Qui-Gon. Great actor and a great character.

All in all, it's still Star Wars, so I will watch it today with fond memories of five years ago.

The prequels would probably have been much better if these were the release dates....Seriously. I think Lucas would have had to depend on real sets and still had momentum from the OT to produce better stories.
 
Have to agree with your DR... while the new sensibility probably helped bring in new fans, the movies I wanted to see would probably have been more likely had they kept the momentum from the OT.

But who knows, they might have been even worse... at least the PT looks really nice :lol
