[Phalanx]

Finally got around to seeing SW:Ep3.
I agree that this was better than the two preceeding it, by far.
(r2 was badass), the storyline, and the "change" and revealation that the empire was established pretty much more through corruption and lies rather than by force was interesting to see...
But in all honesty, now that I've seen all three of them, I remain unimpressed at large. The swordfighting across the board 1-3 was obviously a little better in terms of effects and coreography, the musical scoring was as always good...but up until this finished, I was hoping for a moment in any of these films that came close to the original (4-6) trilogy...and it just never happened. I can understand how some fans of 4-6 may hate the newer ones on principle, it's just like the horror purists with their rage against the remake...or at least similar...I try not to be like that in general, and I haven't been like that now...I didn't sit and compare every moment and scene of the 1-3 trilogy with the old films, I didn't think "this'll be shit" from the get-go, I gave them all a chance...and they all had cool moments, but for me, none of the newer 1-3 have evoked the same kind of "feel" as the old ones did.
...and one last thing, was I the only one that thought the lizard that obi-wan rode in the third one looked absolutely shit? Didn't much like the cyborg guy either, but at least he put up a pretty decent fight.
I'd give it 6/10.
