I have been a SW GEEK since I was 12 in 1977. I think I've got a lot of the stuff down pretty good (SW / PT Apologist level) and while watching ROTS I found myself saying "I KNEW IT!!!" throughout the movie. I was pretty pleased w/ ROTS. I wish they discussed more of why C-3PO (and NOT R2-D2) needed a memory wipe. Also I wished they discussed the possibility of Luke one day defeating Palpatine.

My rankings of ALL 6 movies:

TPM = AOTC = ROTS = ANH 2004 DVD (minus the 19 frames of blasphemy - "Han Shoots FIRST" always and forever) = ESB 2004 DVD (I like the new Emperor and the new snow beast thingy) = ROTJ (toss up between 1983 and 2004 DVD [minus the horrible "Jedi Rocks song"] - unsure of the Hayden / Shaw swap)

BECAUSE ALL 6 CHAPTERS OF SW MAKES THE GREATEST MOVIE SAGA OF ALL TIME!!!

If a gun was put to my head, I'd say that AOTC was the most disappointing to me. More so than TPM (which was not a disappointment AT ALL). Admittedly the romance of AOTC was hard to swallow. But after reading the book and talking to my fellow Gushing-Geeks (a label I proudly ware I might add), I think a can defend the romance pretty good. If I ever get any re-edit projects off the ground, AOTC's would probably get the most changes and all in the Padme / Anakin romance story line.

On a off topic side note:

I was able to compared the 1977 ANH and the 2004 DVD ANH side-by-side and I have to say the Deathstar battle is MUCH better in the 2004 DVD than the 1977 (TR47 and EditDroid copies).
