I think this is my favorite comment on that page.

I have to agree with the Batlord, Revenge of the Sith is the worst Star Wars movie, without a doubt. I don't much like the first two prequels either, but at least they were entertaining enough if you disregarded the existence of the original trilogy. Revenge of the Sith, on the other hand, has the least rewarding plot development and most horrible acting I've ever witnessed outside of....well, Japanese fake snuff movies! Hayden is the definition of bad acting, even when he doesn't say a word. I'm sure you remember how he tried to look all dark and serious and badass with his Stare™, just to end up looking like a petulant boy who just got grounded by his mom for coming home an hour too late one evening. Plotwise, in my mind, the worst single offense is how they somehow managed to trivialize the killing of the Jedi children. That scene should be dark as hell, horrible and gut-wrenching, but with the way it was directed, all I could muster was a tiny "meh...". I still get annoyed when I think about it in detail, so I'll stop.

On the other hand, I'm optimistic about Disney being responsible for the Star Wars movies from now on. They have made a lot of quality movies, if not stunning ones. J.J. Abrams isn't exactly my favourite director, though. Sure, Star Trek was rather good, but it also had precious little to do with the Star Trek TV shows, stylewise. It was a good action movie, but it wasn't really a Star Trek movie, if you catch my meaning. But times change, and so does the demand of moviegoers, I suppose. In any case, at the very least, there is NO WAY the next Star Wars movie can be worse than Revenge of the Sith.

Just found this and thought it was pretty appropriate for this thread:

Personally, I like all the Star Wars movies, but i'll comment on the prequel series. The first one (The Phantom Menace) is the weakest by far, but a story has to start somewhere. The next two in the prequel series are pretty good. Revenge of the Sith is probably my favorite out of all three, especially the ending fight scene. I honestly don't really care what happens with the directing of Star Wars, because someone with the chance to direct this franchise wouldn't take away from what the fans love about it.

I swear I'm going to be flipping tables if they don't include something about Mara Jade or at least hint at the solo kids.

My biggest problem with this new trilogy is that they don't want to use any of the existing material that occurs after Episode 6 like the great Thrawn Trilogy.

I admit that I finally actually liked a Star Trek movie once he touched it because it had a bit of a Star Wars feel to certain scenes. So, it might not be too bad but some people are flipping out over the thought of a trekkie doing a SW film(s).

Alright, I believe that I've already gone on about what **** movies Episodes II and III were, so I'll just concentrate on the aforementioned (I finally get to use that in a sentence!) fight scene. The overuse of CGI pretty much makes those scenes completely dull and unwatchable. Hey, Lucas, how about you make an actual fight scene instead of a showcase for your own incompetence? Same thing that ruined the scene in The Hobbit where the party was trying to escape the orcs in the Misty Mountains.

I enjoyed both those scenes, mister CGI-sensitive.
