I had been building up all this hope for the epic duel between Anakin and Ben, but it just felt a little flat. I know it was a "fancy" saber fight, etc., but I thought the fights in Empire, Jedi, and the Maul fight were better. More "weight" to them I guess. Lucas screwed himself by letting TPM be almost completely an introduction film that really didn't advance the story that much, and left ROTS to tie up a bunch of loose ends really quickly. Bad planning in my opinion.
I'm going to have to disagree. The two trilogies basically tell different stories. The subplot between Anakin and Palpatine is good enough to tie the two together, but basically the idea of the prequel trilogy (not to say its a perfect story) was done fairly well, in an awkward very Star Wars sort of way. Long, political, action-filled, sci fi fantasy, eye candy.
