Like I really care anymore....

AND TO TOP IT OFF...all of the meat from the clone wars story went on in between Ep 2 and 3!!!!:

"About Episode III
After three long years of relentless fighting, the Clone Wars are nearly at an end. The Jedi Council dispatches Obi-Wan Kenobi to bring General Grievous, the deadly leader of the Separatist droid army, to justice. Meanwhile, back on Coruscant, Chancellor Palpatine has grown in power. His sweeping political changes transform the war-weary Republic into the mighty Galactic Empire. To his closest ally, Anakin Skywalker, he reveals the true nature of power and the promised secrets of the Force in an attempt to lure him to the dark side."

4. heheh

3. Shoudn't that be "Revenge of the Jaded Viewing Audience"?

I haven't seen either of the two most recent (Parts I and II), but I did see a big chunk of Part II and what I saw was disappointing. Perhaps inevitably, it looked to me like the Star Wars franchise now consists of films that are Just Another Sci-Fi picture.

Maybe the fact that the innovative special effects developed for the original films are now not only ubiquitous but, in many cases, superceded...but I still think that the 1977 release had a special blend that just cannot be duplicated. We can't turn back time to '77 -- I wish we could, for more reasons than one -- so we convince ourselves that these new movies are touchstones to that magical Star Wars experience when, really, they're as noteworthy as episode #366 of the latest Star Trek TV spinoff.

5. "Revenge of the Sith"

You left that out. But yes, who frigging cares anymore? The franchise started abruptly downhill with Episode 6. And it's just gone downhill from there. Darth Maul was the one redeeming feature of the flogging of the franchise.
